Going beyond the Thinker | 20 Minute Meditation with Eckhart Tolle 

Been feeling so lost lately. Listening to these videos feels like an anchor gently bringing me back to shore. They help me to feel like myself again.

The pauses are pure meditative in their own right ☺

“True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.” -Eckhart Tolle

Hello from Mexico!

Non-attachment Non-resistance Non-judgement = Freedom Eckhart Tolle

Thank you so much for your presence in our lives, Mr. Tolle. You are loved, honored and appreciated! 🙏

I love the pauses in this meditations, typical for Eckhart, few words, but so profound - stillness is here 🙏

It's funny how Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher, but could very well be one of the best stand up comedians out there xD

"Learning not to think." So difficult when you have ADHD and your mind is kind of wired to wander. Listening to him speak does help me relax and stay focused, though.

The waterfall sounds in the end of all the videos often frightened me so badly , all of sudden after this quite and calm voice . 😮😅😢

Is this video recent? He really looks young 😅 if it’s recent he looks amazing for 74!!

You are not just a thinker..You are Spirit too. Be Still and Listen! Spirit Will Help You with your life. 😊

Thank you Eckhart! Sometimes I forget your teachings and go into suffering. The thoughts become too much to handle that I can't even realize the spaces between the thoughts. Once again, your teaching made me realize and direct me to better choices. Thank you. Eckhart

Thank you very much, for this wonderful meditation.🌸🙏😊

This afternoon I got so fed up experiencing all sorts of thoughts that kept incessantly arising. I tried to stop them but I couldn't and became so annoyed. Then I realized that thoughts are just arising, it's just nature doing its thing through the body/mind. In fact this person isn't a person, this is just nature appearing as a person. There's no person here doing anything, it's all nature doing things, sitting and drinking coffee, thinking thoughts, moving from here to there.... but it's all nature (or Life) doing these things through this "apparent" body. It's NOT possible to remain still except during periods of sleep and meditation, and after sleep/meditation the mind eventually becomes busy again. I can't fight life, there's no such thing as controlling it through processes and practice. Life will do its thing regardless of meditation.

I love Eckhart so much!!💗

Love this! Also great starting from 18:58 In ancient Greek philosophy, they often use the term "the good." What is the good? Where is the good? And, of course, we know what it is and where it is. The good is not in the world of form. The world of form is good and bad. Nothing stays good for that long. It either disappears or turns into its opposite. The good is within you, and it is the formless presence, the source of aliveness, of joy... the source of identity, the sense of who you are. The source of that is beingness, presence. Spacious awareness. I am.

I didn't hear his words, just his soft voice, and then it was over.

I love you ❤️

And he said unto him, why callest thou me good ? there is none good, but one, that is, God. " When he said be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect, the deeper perfection, the wholeness that is spacious presence."

After I woke up at 17 years old all I see is an ocean of love. I’ve got someone with, I’m happy and fearless. Life is beyond the ego and if you feel like it, you can win at the game. Wish you all the best for your today and I hope you’ll smile tomorrow, and evermore.

We are all on the same path , some are ahead and some are behind

the only true satisfaction come from deep formless, the more i look outside the more frustrations i get, thank you Echart

Enjoyed this meditation. Be happy, be present today everyone! 💜✌️

ECKART S EYES R MY PLACE OF PEACE I REST IN THEM ITS WONDERFUL

This is helping me thru Monday morning anxiety so much. What a gift.

Kia ora from New Zealand 💚

Greatly appreciate these times with you.

Non judgment is where form self is neither good or bad?

The unspoken words are the most powerful moments in life. Our minds have been overstimulated for so long, we must relearn to just be in the moment and not contemplate anything. The magic happens in the stillness of the mind. 🪄🔮✨🙏 Thank you Eckhart you are a godsend.

Your words and silences and eye contact (via screen) are very helpful to me. I am unlearning. Thank you for sharing.

....SO moving... SO infinitely TRUE ❤️🙏 .... AND I see the light in the face and eyes of the spiritual master E. Tolle...I see it and feel it and it moves me deeply ... The light of Consciousness... It's wonderful isn't it?..We are IT.. WONDERFUL...💓🙏

I know of close friends and family who have major health problems. When I have negative thoughts, I think of them, it helps to put things into perspective. Peace to all.

This practice is phenomenal. Completely understandable to the human aspect . Thank you so much .

Please for all. Please for all disabled people we’re having a hard time I’ve been reading Eckhart Tolle books and been listening to him I have a condition called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and two sons are taking of me.

Beautiful teaching today. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Eckhart. Your meditations are my favorite videos. I go back and watch them over and over. Your stillness touches my being so deeply. Blessings!

Thank you Eckhart 😊😀💞💨💨💨

"Do you think you'll ever sort out the problems in your life? Never! You'll sort out one & two more will appear" .... hey! Thanks for that Eckhart!!! 🤔😂

Thank you🙏

I am deeply grateful to this man

I love you Eckhart Tolle 🤍🤍🤍🫰🏻

So lovely you have great love in your eyes Eckhart, than you a million times. Rose

Mr. Eckhardt Tolle. You are a gem. A polished gem. Please know this effect you have rendered before you're gone.

I am therefore I am- Descarthe Tolle

When the thinking subside, you still there as conscious presence

thank you

Hola desde España

'Going beyond the thinker' I find so full of power as I try to 'embody' it...Eckhart!you should be in all our Universities... one professor made the remark that he, as a young man had attended four universities yet not one of them taught him the art of stillness! I am reminded too of T.S.Eliot who said for us 'there is only the moment and ridiculous the waste sad time stretching before and after' I see you as one who was sent at this point in time to translate or decode the words of Jesus to 21st century audience...your take on 'kingdom of heaven' is profound...what you call the 'inner spaciousness'! You are good news for humanity! Míle buíochas (Irish for 'thank you') to you Eckhart! B

Aliveness of joy. Deep sigh.. thank you.

The most dreadful thing is for human to know himself only as a thinker. Beyond doing, there is something more vital. That's being. To access being, you at least need gaps between thinking. Even a few seconds of cracks are good for peace and joy to come through. You can never sort out your life's "problems" by doing. 🦆🦆🕊🐞🐞🦋🦋🦅🦅🐌 Without thinking, you still exist as conscious presence. You can be aware of conscious space even as you think and do. Then you can enjoy life every moment. Joy comes from deeper space, is not dependent on spacetime happening. 🌲🌲🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌿🌸🌸 You go through life embodying two dimensions, form (thinking and doing), and formless (presence, conscious aware space). The conscious aware space interpenetrates the world of form. Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form. Form and formless are one. There are two of you. One operates in spacetime. The other exists as conscious presence. You can observe how dense or spacious someone is. Spacetime is high density. Spacious presence is light. 🦅🦅🐌🐌🐌🐞🦆🕊🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹 Humans can never achieve perfection. Persons always have limitations. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Jesus refers to deeper perfection in wholeness (spacious presence). Ancient Greeks refer to "The Good". The good is not in the world of form, which is both good and bad. The Good is within you and formless presence, being-ness, I AM. 🦋🦋🐛🐞🐞🌲🌲🌷🌷🌻 You are Spirit. You are God. That's why you receive this video. Thanks Eckhart. 4 December 2022.

Exactly! Some pointers to embody spaciousness along with the person are welcome..

Hi Eckhart 👋 Sending my love 💓 to you for a the wisdom you share with humanity.

How insightful is this meditation. Session ? Thanks to Ekhart..

The Guru of our Time ❤🎉

Thanks for real depth again

Thank you for the video!

Oh, how I wish I had discovered Eckart's teachings before I wasted my time, eneregy, and money on therapy when I all I needed was a daily dose of Eckhart's teachings. Thank you, Eckhart

It's true; I are dense. 🤦‍♂😉 Great meditation. I feel wonderful. 👍👍👍

Gracias ❤

Is it possible to be “dense” when it comes to knowing how to be a person, while retaining deeper spaciousness? This is how I would best describe my experience.... curious if anyone else has any thoughts on this

Thank you thank you so much

Eckart lookin young and dashing here

Thankyou... 💕

I love you so much 💜💜💜

Who's watching this in bed ❤️🙏☺️👍

You can enjoy every moment in your life, but enjoyment does not come all things that happen in your life, it comes from a deeper place, what happens or does not happen is of secondary importance, you are not dependent on what happens or is not happening💕

I’m takin it a level above and livin without the stinker. That little stinker

Th Hank you Eckhart

Love

great post.

How do I maintain this state through out my day? It’s so enjoyable. Thoughts are a claim of meaning I just don’t need

Prayers are all I need so Please pray for me things are difficult on me at this time. As I continue to struggle putting groceries in my refrigerator and paying bills. I keep my faith in Jesus. I know God will see me through this hard time. Both of my children are autistic, I’m overwhelmed at times. Thankfully I put all my trust in Jesus. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is STILL in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so THANKFUL to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I get harassed and called names for simply asking for prayers, but prayers are all we need, because God hears ALL OF our prayers. It is JESUS that gives me strength to keep going. I have faith God will provide. He HAS THIS FAR. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Please pray for me and my children.

Calming

I feel like my body is invisible. I am at Peace and that’s a great feeling. The devil comes at me with challenges and I recognize it as such. I don’t get angry so often anymore. And if I do I don’t stay there. Let go and let God.

Mind the Gap.

I am from Kashmir...india...and life has been different after power of Now and now your videos...

Yes yes, enter the void. Refuse to engage the mind, and before long that great space begins to reveal itself. Rather, you as the great space emerges. The mind will recoil at first, running back to safety. Its fine, just push a little more each day and slowly the machine dissipates and that you merge with eternity.

It is difficult to not think even while listening to this. Feels like a conversation, but not... 🤔

Ubuntu my dear Eckhart... :-)

Reflection is key in a world which contains almost none. Unfortunately, most people cannot see beyond the physical version. Yet the other three mirrors (mental, psychological, spiritual) are of far greater importance to confront. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge: hope's strength, resteeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)
