What are some of the most noteworthy passages worth revisiting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>The Power of Now<\/em>, spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle walks you through his methods for quieting your thoughts and fears to find fulfillment through presence. He insists that we can\u2019t find the peace and happiness we seek in anything outside ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a selection of <em>The Power of Now <\/em>quotes with explanations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his book<em> The Power of Now<\/em>, Eckhart Tolle proposes that the main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/cause-of-unhappiness\/\">cause of unhappiness<\/a> and lack of fulfillment for most people is a lack of presence in their moment-to-moment experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>The Power of Now<\/em> quotes highlight some of the key ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cWhenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it. Another factor has come in, something that is not of the mind: the witnessing presence.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Being present starts with disconnecting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-voice-inside-your-head\/\">the voice inside your head<\/a>. This is called \u201cwatching the thinker.\u201d Thoughts come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-ego\/\">your ego<\/a>, making your ego the \u201cthinker.\u201d The part of you that can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-observation\/\">observe your thoughts<\/a> without engaging in them is the \u201cwatcher,\u201d your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-find-your-true-self\/\">true self<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try this: think, \u201cI wonder what my next thought will be.\u201d Wait and watch. Notice that your thoughts will likely stall for a moment while you are in this state of presence and alertness. You\u2019ve just watched the thinker.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you can understand that the watcher and the thinker are separate, then you can realize that you are not made of your thoughts. In moments when your mind is still and thoughts are quiet, you still exist and are still yourself. As soon as you witness your thoughts, you\u2019ve separated yourself from them \u2014 even if only for a moment. This is a victory in itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cEmotions arise in the place where your mind and body meet.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Eckhart Tolle, emotions are produced by repeated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-break-negative-thought-patterns\/\">thought patterns<\/a> created by the ego. Like thoughts,<strong> <\/strong>emotions are a product of the ego that distract you from the present, keep you disconnected from your true Being, and pull you further from inner peace and happiness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce emotions&#8217; pull, practice observing them. Regularly ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on inside me at this moment.\u201d Thoughtfully observe your inner state, without analyzing (\u201cI\u2019m feeling this way because &#8230;\u201d) or judging (\u201cWhy can\u2019t I just let this go?\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cIn surrender, you no longer need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/ego-defenses\/\">ego defenses<\/a> and false masks. You become very simple, very real. \u201cThat\u2019s dangerous,\u201d says the ego. \u201cYou\u2019ll get hurt. You\u2019ll become vulnerable.\u201d What the ego doesn\u2019t know, of course, is that only through the letting go of resistance, through becoming \u201cvulnerable,\u201d can you discover your true and essential invulnerability.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people have a negative connotation of surrender, associating it with passively tolerating a situation without taking further action. However, surrendering to the Now means to stop fighting the flow of life and to accept the reality of the Now. Only when you surrender can you take productive, positive action forward\u2014this is where true invulnerability lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><strong>\u201cThe pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">taking responsibility<\/a> for their inner space.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the book, Tolle periodically refers to the idea that humans across the globe have strayed further from presence from generation to generation, and are collectively lacking more presence than ever. Our collective lack of presence is sending negative energy into our environment and damaging the planet; environmental pollution evident around the world is an outward reflection of millions of humans\u2019 mental pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raising collective human presence is the only hope to save our planet. Tolle believes that the whole world is coming around to this knowledge and an awakening of presence, which is encouraging for the future of the planet. But we all have to participate \u2014 it is not inevitable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><strong>\u201cSo give up waiting as a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. snap out of it. Come into the present moment. Just be, and enjoy being. If you are present, there is never any need for you to wait for anything. So next time somebody says, \u201cSorry to have kept you waiting,\u201d you can reply, \u201cThat\u2019s all right, I wasn\u2019t waiting. I was just standing\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are moments in life when we feel like we are at time\u2019s will, when it feels as if there is nothing to do but wait \u2014 whether it\u2019s for the traffic light to turn green or for your life to make a drastic turn. There are two types of waiting, based on whether you\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/psychological-time-vs-clock-time-eckhart-tolle\/\">clock time or psychological time<\/a>: small-scale and large-scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small-scale waiting is what you do in line at the post office or DMV. This form of waiting happens in clock time, and allows you to still be present. Use these situations \u2014 like waiting to check out at the grocery store or waiting to pick your child up from school or sports practice \u2014 as opportunities to be present. Give yourself that time to simply observe the sights and sounds around you, and for those few minutes try not to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-let-your-mind-wander\/\">let your mind wander<\/a> to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/gtd-to-do-list\/\">to-do list<\/a> or that tense conversation you had with your coworker this morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for The Power of Now quotes by Eckhart Tolle?
