A New Earth: The life-changing follow up to The Power of Now. ‘My No.1 guru will always be Eckhart Tolle’ Chris Evans

The pain-body is one of the most powerful things the ego can identify with, just as the pain-body needs the ego to renew itself through it.

Nonreaction is not weakness but strength. Another word for nonreaction is forgiveness. To forgive is to overlook, or rather to look through. You look through the ego to the sanity that is in every human being as his or her essence.

A vital question to ask yourself frequently is: What is my relationship with the present moment?

The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.

You will find that by feeling the subtle flow of air in and out of the body as well as the rise and fall of your chest and abdomen, you are also becoming aware of the inner body.

The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction, its own madness.

Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.

Space consciousness means that in addition to being conscious of things—which always comes down to sense perceptions, thoughts, and emotions—there is an undercurrent of awareness.

It comes as a stillness, a subtle peace deep within you, even in the face of something seemingly bad. This, too, will pass. Suddenly, there is space around the event. There is also space around the emotional highs and lows, even around pain.
