“After knowing Eckhart Tolle for a while and studying the books, I woke up and suddenly got it. I understood how thought is just illusory, and that thought is responsible for most, if not all of the suffering we experience. And then I suddenly felt like I was looking at thoughts from another perspective, and I wondered, who is it that is aware that ‘I’ am thinking? And suddenly I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom – from myself, from my problems. I saw that I am bigger than what I do, bigger than my body. I am everything and everyone. I am no longer a fragment of the universe. I am the universe.”
~ Jim Carrey
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
You are NOT just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation.
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“Life is so beautiful, especially when I’m absent from it. Don’t get me wrong, Jim Carrey is a great character, and I was lucky to get the part, but I don’t think of that as me anymore. I used to be a guy who was experiencing the world and now I feel like the world and universe experiencing a guy. So there’s kind of been a shift.”
~ Jim Carrey
“You are the universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“Everyone is saying Jim Carrey has gone insane, I’m not surprised. Consciousness has always been regarded as madness. They’d rather see me being a rich arrogant prick.”
~ Jim Carrey
“The absurd overvaluation of fame is just one of the many manifestations of egoic madness in our world.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“I’ve often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion.
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
~ Jim Carrey
“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“Like many of you, I was concerned about going out into the world and doing something bigger than myself. Until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself.”
~ Jim Carrey
“Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul. I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I’m the container.”
~ Jim Carrey
“You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
“I don’t believe in personalities. Peace lies beyond personality.“
~ Jim Carrey
“Walk through life as a field of conscious Presence, not as a personality.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
