Eckhart Tolle, de son vrai nom Ulrich Leonard Tolle, né le 16 février 1948 à Lünen , est un écrivain et conférencier canadien d'origine allemande, auteur des best-sellers Le Pouvoir du moment présent et Nouvelle Terre.

Tolle raconte qu’il s'est senti déprimé toute la première partie de sa vie jusqu’à ce qu’il connût, à l’âge de 29 ans, une « transformation intérieure » à la suite de laquelle il passa plusieurs années sans emploi à vagabonder « dans un état de félicité profonde » avant de devenir enseignant spirituel. Plus tard, il déménagea en Amérique du Nord où il commença à écrire son premier livre, Le Pouvoir du moment présent, qui fut publié en 1997 aux États-Unis et est devenu un best-seller international traduit en 33 langues. Tolle s’installa ensuite à Vancouver au Canada où il vit depuis.

Les ventes du Pouvoir du moment présent et de Nouvelle terre sont respectivement estimées en 2009 à trois et cinq millions d'exemplaires en Amérique du Nord. En 2008, environ 35 millions de personnes ont participé à une série de 10 webinaires en ligne en direct avec Tolle et la présentatrice d'émissions-débats Oprah Winfrey. Wikipedia

Eckhart Tolle Citations

“Sur un fond de ciel bleu azur, les rayons jaune orangé d'un soleil couchant peuvent, à certains mo-ments privilégiés, nous régaler d'un instant d'une telle beauté, que nous en restons momentanément ébahis, le regard fixe. La splendeur de ce moment nous éblouit tellement que nos esprits habituel-lement si bavards marquent un temps et ne nous entraînent pas mentalement ailleurs que dans l'ici-maintenant. Baignant dans un halo de lumière, nous voyons s'ouvrir en nous une porte donnant sur une autre réalité. Une réalité qui est toujours là mais dont nous sommes rarement les témoins.”

The Art of Presence

Eckhart Tolle: Citations en anglais

“Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought”

“The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever 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.”

“Teachings that pointed the way beyond the dysfunction of the human mind, the way out of the collective insanity, were distorted and became themselves part of the insanity.
And so religions, to a large extent, became divisive rather than unifying forces. Instead of bringing about an ending of violence and hatred through a realization of the fundamental oneness of all life, they brought more violence and hatred, more divisions between people as well as between different religions and even within the same religion.”

Eckhart Tolle livre A New Earth

A New Earth (2005)

“You say, “I want to know myself.” You are the I. You are the knowing. You are the consciousness through which everything is known and that cannot know itself. It is itself. There is nothing to know beyond that. And yet all knowing arises out of it. The “I” cannot make itself into an object of knowledge, of consciousness.
So you cannot become an object to yourself. That is the very reason the illusion of egoic identity arose because mentally you made yourself into an object. “That's me,” you say, and then you begin to have a relationship with yourself and tell others and yourself your story.”

“Many things in your life matter but only one thing matters absolutely. It matters whether you succeed or fail in the eyes of the world. It matters whether you are healthy or not healthy, whether you are educated or not educated. It matters whether you are rich or poor. It certainly makes a difference in your life. Yes, all these things matter, relatively speaking. But they don't matter absolutely. There is something that matters more than any of those things and that is finding the essence of who your are beyond that short-lived entity, that short-lived personalized sense of self. You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.”

“Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.”

Variante: Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of wellbeing and inner peace, the source of true happiness.
