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

“Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole life like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.”

Eckhart Tolle livre The Power of Now

The Power of Now (1997)

“On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many moments. Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things happen. Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever? Is life ever not this moment? This one moment, now, is the only thing you can never escape from. The one constant factor in your life. No matter what happens. No matter how much your life changes. One thing is certain. Its always now. Since there is no escape from the now, why not welcome it, become friendly with it.”

“If there is no joy, ease, or lightness in what you are doing, it does not necessarily mean that you need to change what you are doing. It may be sufficient to change the how. “How” is always more important than “what.” See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.”

“I cannot live with myself any longer.” This was the thought that kept repeating itself in my mind. Then suddenly I became aware of what a peculiar thought it was. “Am I one or two? If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the ‘I’ and the ‘self’ that ‘I’ cannot live with.”

“By knowing yourself as the awareness in which phenomenal existence happens, you become free of dependency on phenomena and free of self seeking in situations, places, and conditions. In other words, what happens or doesn't happen is not that important anymore. Things lose their heaviness, their seriousness. A playfulness comes into your life. You recognize this world as a cosmic dance, the dance of form.”

Stillness Speaks (2003)

“The more unconscious individuals, groups, or nations are, the more likely it is that egoic pathology will assume the form of physical violence. Violence is a primitive but still very widespread way in which the ego attempts to assert itself, to prove itself right or another wrong. With very unconscious people, arguments can easily lead to physical violence.”

“If your destination, or the steps you are going to take in the future, take up so much of your attention that they become more important to you than the step you are taking now, then you completely miss the journey’s inner purpose, which has nothing to do with where you are going or what you are doing, but everything to do with how. It has nothing to do with future but everything to do with the quality of your consciousness at this moment.”

“Do you treat this moment as if it were an obstacle to be overcome? Do you feel you have a future moment to get to that is more important?
Almost everyone lives like this most of the time. Since the future never arrives, except as the present, it is a dysfunctional way to live. It generates a constant undercurrent of unease, tension, and discontent. It does not honor life, which is Now and never not Now.”

“To let go of judgment does not mean that you don’t see what they do. It means that you recognize their behavior as a form of conditioning, and you see it and accept it as that. You don’t construct an identity out of it for that person.
That liberates you as well as the other person from identification with conditioning, with form, with mind.”

“You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you and allowing that goodness to emerge. If peace is really what you want, then choose peace. The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.”

Oneness With All Life: Inspirational Selections from A New Earth (2008)

“For this companion volume to A New Earth, I selected passages from the original book that felt particularly suitable for inspirational or meditative reading. For this reason I do not recommend that you read this book straight through from cover to cover. It would be far more beneficial to read, at the most, one chapter at a time, stopping at and perhaps rereading whatever passages elicit an inner response. Then let the words sink in and sense the truth to which they point, which is, of course, already within you. It can also be helpful to open the book at random occasionally, read one page or just one passage and let the words point the way to that dimension deep within that is beyond words, beyond thought. The truth to which the words point, the timeless dimension of consciousness, cannot be arrived at through discursive thought and conceptual understanding.”
