A real awakening occurs when one's ego eventually gets burnt out from all of life's difficulties and suffering, and it's then that one surrenders and accepts all that is, and thereafter, one realizes that their ultimate purpose in life is to bring forth the light of consciousness into the world. Thank you so much for bringing your light into the world and showing us the way too Eckhart.🙏
There is no price for it you can't pay for this...peace is beyond materialism...what he teach us we only feel grateful for his blessings on us❤ respect and grateful to you my beloved Master Eckhart❤😌🙏
What a wonderful take on the scariness of the world! The crises situations are incredibly anxiety producing. It’s like everyone is afraid! No matter your religion, ethnicity, country, whatever…. ! In the U.S. it feels like our whole world can be destroyed either politically by losing our democracy or by the climate crisis. Israel has gone crazy & people are talking like it is “normal “ to be so incredibly cruel & destructive. Russia is nuts. We are struggling to stop the extinction of species. The climate is SCARY! We need immediate action. Hello out there! This is an emergency. And yet I know, it takes suffering for people to change. That’s what motivates us to work. It does me.
I can fully testify that suffering brought me to awakening. There are moments the ego is back, but never for that long to forget the awakening and consciousness. Once you have experienced awakening, you will not lose it,
This man's voice and way of speaking soothes me. I play him on the car, while running, when grocery shopping... Thank you, Eckhart ❤ The Power of Now changed my life.
hey @@Ludifant , I just checked your channel. It is unique AND I LOVE IT ❤. Is it generative art!? I am into that. I am subscribed now, will check more closely :). Have a lovely day.
Right there with you. His teachings have awakened me. It’s been gradual, but I’m loving the journey. The joy I experience for no apparent reason happens spontaneously. I am beyond grateful ❤
My wife and I have encountered a very costly medical and fertility issue this year and as we took on these bills, she lost her job. This has a been a very challenging time. I can't say how much Eckhart has helped me. Thank you
What an amazing opportunity to see what money means. What health means to you, it was an interesting year here as well.. May you live in interesting times and have the strength to surrender. I wish you both the best.
It should be evident by now that the Universe does not want you to breed. Do the rest of population a favor. Save yourself some money. Stop forcing yourself on the planet. Try gardening or something else.
Dearest Eckahart, After 24 years of learning, to be here now listening to you on a tape player over and over and on my iPod over and over I now have your teachings living inside my mind and body and I am so blessed because of it! You have gotten me through 14 years of illness with this work, when I wanted to end it all your words were there! I can't thank you enough! I remember first reading and then listening to The Power of Now and getting a lot from it but as you said and knew I wasn't ready for all of it but it was in there and then in 2012 wow it all came out for me when illness happened. Now today listening to this remembering to use every moment as an opportunity for transformation is so empowering. Nothing is a waste! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you! If I won the lottery the one thing I would love to do is see you in person! Sitting in presence is my favorite and I cry tears of joy every time I do it with you! I hope to meet you in heaven! Love xoxo Ava
This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL❣️ I feel your love, gratitude and reverence for our Teacher!!! We are so blessed!!! Sending love & light, dear friend!!! You are so very loved!!! 🙏😇💫
This man and Alan Watts have opened my eyes to the true nature of reality. Listening to their talks have gotten me through many difficult times in my life.
BASHAR' SAYS: WE EACH ARE FREE TO GIVE LIFE MEANING,,,, what's important to you is IMPORTANT,,, but not the PUSHING IT ON TO OTHERS,that's where we go too far..❤❤❤
It may be an uncanny coincidence, but at a very low point in my life, just when I needed him, I discovered/stumbled into Eckhart. Maybe the most uncanny thing, is that I've needed to hear these things all along, lowest low point aside. Oh well - "Better now than never" I suppose.
Eckhart Tolle, one of the greatest living masters of our time ! So full of gratitude for so many years of spreading your wisdom and putting on the fire for the deepest contemplation. Oceans of blessings and love to you ❤🙏❤️
This is saying exactly what I was thinking at the time it posted, as I acknowledged and accepted my grief over my past. What do you know? A synchronicity. Thank you Presence. God bless you Mr. Tolle.
Greetings from Chattanooga, TN. I had my liver unexpectedly taken away from me. I had a 2 week warning was the first I knew, then I would pass. I can relate to this video. Now, I wouldn't change a thing, even though I will be immunocompromised the rest of my life. I came home from the hospital exactly when Covid19 began, so I had my mobility also taken away, for 19 months, nothing but Dr. visits and monthly labs. I gained much more than I lost. Thank you for you time and for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thanks for sharing dear eckhart! Thank you for also reminding me that the primary purpose in my life is to transcend the ego and be unconditional love.💜
@@midnightblue2893 True, nobody's perfect and it would be pretty boring if we all were. I guess we learn from our imperfections and yet they are what makes us human. Thanks love, I'm proud of you!💜
Unconditional love does mean that you love the desire to lose the ego, what is there without ego.. And the ego. Anything eliminated from that whole means conditions..🫛
Cumulative personal and professional disasters = Prerequisites to experience Awakening. Successful Awakening is built on failures... Eckhart is tremendous. Love instructions from, by, and with him So grateful for the teaching
" If you don´t escape, if you allow the suffering to be there, if you are ready to face it, if you are not trying somehow to forget it, then you are different. Suffering is there but just around you; it is not in the center, it is on the periphery. It is impossible for suffering to be in the center; it is not in the nature of things. It is always on the periphery and you are the center. So when you allow it to happen, you don´t escape, you don´t run, you are not in a panic, suddenly you become aware that suffering is there on the periphery as if happening to someone else, not to you, and you are looking at it. A subtle joy spreads all over your being because you have realized one of the basic truths of life, that you are bliss and not suffering."
Can you please elaborate what it means that it is on the periphery and not in the center when actually suffering is staring at your face day in and out
Fantastic, thank you dear Eckhart Tolle. I would like to personally add, if you are going through a particularly challenging dark night of the soul, it may be beneficial to spend some time in low stimulation and isolation. I 100% agree with Eckhart Tolle that awakening cannot be achieved in a spa, but I also think trying to juggle work/relationships/obligations long after they have ceased to be meaningful and contribute towards the higher and deeper purpose creates only distractions and chaos... when perhaps what's needed is a period of reflection and silence, like Buddha under the Bodhi tree, like Jesus in the desert, to go fully into the night and emerge out the other side.
I’m convinced that suffering contains in it the greatest gift we can possibly receive.. if we accept our suffering and live with joy. This will make your experience in the present and appreciation for life more beautiful than you can imagine
Wow is this the very truth.!! 💖 I can only now as I look through my story how many opportunities life has offered me to wake up to burn up my imposing ego😊 Reality is Beautiful
I needed this today❣️ My angels and guides are AMAZING to lead me to your Divinely timed message!!! 🙏😇✨ Thank you, Elkhart for fulfilling your life purpose and therefore helping us in our journey of transformation. You are so very loved❣️
Caroline Myss has some great talks and information comparing how the different religions discuss energy and reality and awakening. She described what i had started to pick up on, that many religions are describing the same phenomena in different ways.
Wait. You mean that some people have a life that is not one disaster after another?? 😅 Even reframing disaster as opportunities, it is still one thing after another. The scramble to survive.
Now as I feel happiness after listening to random videos of this one of a kind human, I remember how I used to search specifically for his videos and gave up half way because I didn't have enough calmness to bear his calmness. The videos seemed toooooooo long!! I am glad we reconnect now. The teachers appear when the students are ready!
I can get a glimpse of what he is saying here. I'm 9 years free of cancer, but I am in constant pain from the procedures. I have to transcend this pain or face a lifetime of medication. Because this pain is always present, I feel that I must therefore shift my focus away from " me" or I can't function. I can understand how this causes a more inward focus. I became unaware of the pain when I am calm and when I meditate. Which is an ongoing practice day by day.
maybe green smoothies or carnivore can help heal the body/pain. Brooke Goldner here on youtube healed her lupus with raw cruciferous vegetables and I have also seen a lot of people here on youtube heal chronic health problems with carnivore.
Ive always search for and asked what is my purpose and pray to source or universe to be shown to me. This explains that the adversities ive experience and struggles is consciousness unfolding itself in this vehicle im existing in and that in itself is purpose. And this has explained the authentic purpose ive been playing along right in front of my very eyes. Its Not the purpose ego set for itself. Beautiful paradox. Thank you eckhart ❤
Thankyou always, Eckhart. I am so incredibly grateful to be able to listen to your wonderful words of wisdom every day and night 🖤😊 Peace and Blessings 🙏
Meister Eckhart was a Rhineland mystic. Hildegard von Bingen also. St Hildegard wrote treatises on Spirituality . My moms relatives were part of the Eppenburg and Meisenheim Catholic community.
"Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality." - Robin Sharma Thank you Mr. Tolle for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
Our minds are always offering us a choice of thinking material, sane or insane? Rational, happy, fun and peaceful thinking or Irrational, unhappy, fearful and anxious thinking. The option we go for is always our very own free choice, although we can't control the options (thoughts) offered the choice and decision is always ours 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I‘m on a point - in deep breakdown, meaningless of everything - where I could not write on a white paper anything about me, who I am?! Nothing would be valid to write as nothing would feel - that’s me. If I would write something it would be the „old“ view of myself. The „new“ is not visible, felt at all and the (ego) mind pushes me to „to this“, „do this not“ but I don’t feel comfortable by any „forced suggestion“ by the ego mind. At the moment I try my best to be in the blank me - in my inner SPA somehow. Very very challenging time and I know, it’s necessary that „the Great Shift“ needs to come, the old (self & world in general) has to fallen, break down for the new what will/has to come 🙏
Thank you Eckhart for bringing this message to the "me" this morning! It is just what I needed to hear... seems this message has been floating around in the background for some time now while sort of being buried by my daily monkey mind or nihilism. Awesome!!! Now to get back to bringing light and consciousness into "this", a renewed sense of allowing it to flow through this experience. Thank you Thank you Thank you! PS love your sense of humor. Cheers
I love Eckhart's little tree! We have an indoor tree just like this which was our Christmas tree. It's now putting out lots of shoots and will soon be our Easter tree! I needed to hear this talk today as I'd fallen into a slightly depressed state and as usual Eckhart has proved to be just the person I needed to hear. God Bless you Eckhart. I'm full of gratitude.
Our purpose of existence lies not in seeking purpose as part of the ego, but in completely losing your ego and praising and thanking God. Like the clivia flower, enduring the cold of winter and many storms, and blooming beautiful flowers towards the sky in spring...
I agee. I, on numerous occasions have longed for more purpose in my life. I think, wecan underestimate have many small wonders occur in our lives. This probably affects so many of us.😊
I think mine burns out and I feel awakened but then gradually I become drawn away from it. This happens every 7-11 years. I go into major depression episodes. Then as I come out of the depression ( through finally reaching out to mental health services). I feel so well. So awakened. Senses Heightened. Emotional. My mind is so clear. I believe I will never become depressed again I believe this time I will not regress into a depression episode ever again I have all the skills. Wisdom. To know the niggly things I may hold onto. That will build and build to drag me back down into those episodes. Episodes happening for a reason To wake me up on the other side Thankyou so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Everything is a cycle, if you wish to be freed from the cycle, work towards helping others without expecting anything in return, and you will get everything you need to be full of life.
Haha… the spa two massages a day- so true that’s not when awakening happens. No you wouldn’t awaken… you would go back to sleep. Presence comes When it’s necessary. Things need to be difficult otherwise change doesn’t happen. Yes! Yes! Yes! And I Love your humor.
Suffering is a teacher, it burns away the ego's delusions so that we can see clearly, it consumes the ego until it surrenders and silences itself so you may finally listen to your true voice. You can avoid years of unnecessary pain simply by listening to yourself honestly at any time and questioning all the things that lead to suffering. You'll realise that all pain is self inflicted and that you can stop it anytime, the purpose was to lead to your own self awareness, that's what makes suffering the greatest teacher because it only appears if you refuse to listen.
Sooooo beautifully explained by this wonderful soul Eckhart. It all makes sense now to me. Hardship, pain, suffering is but the path to awakening, the path to living life consciously 🤔....so beautifully explained...thank you so so so much Eckhart🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
