Sense Of The Miraculous

“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.”
“Life is the dancer and you are the dance.”
“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”
“What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.”
“Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.”
“Awareness is the greatest agent for change.”
“When you don't cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought.”
“To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.”
“Man made God in his own image...”
“Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much.”
“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”

~ Eckhart Tolle
Tolle has said that he was depressed for much of his life until he underwent, at age 29, an “inner transformation”. He then spent several years wandering and unemployed “in a state of deep bliss” before becoming a spiritual teacher.
