I love your saying “delusional security”. I’ve left many jobs where I didn’t feel at peace. I just cannot sell my soul for money. The universe has rewarded my decisions each time with something better. Dare to seek peace and you will find it!
Does that apply to every kind of problem as well? I mean like social anxiety or u know... I feel like with the idea of that ad coming to some consciousness I can be able to replace it with what I would want. Am I on the right path?
@@hamedsiadati6042 yes. Listen to the video, he answers your question. It's only a problem by perception of your mind. Presence helps you make a choice on what to do in that moment. Bring presence into the anxiety, the anxiety doesnt go away straight away but keep doing it and over time the anxiety stops. I found my anxiety helped me come to peace faster. Sometimes the anxiety came with no thought, it was just there. But same thing, bring presence in. The way I see it, it is a pattern, a thought pattern created the same feeling over n over so it was just producing a new pattern, a new pattern of watching the thought n feeling into your body. Then over time, situations that would usually cause anxiety, didnt. Or if it did, the feeling didnt stay as long as it used to.
I face an unbearable situation. I begin thinking ‘It won't work anyway.’ ‘They will all hate me.’ ‘I will only be humiliated.’ Then I think about the situations I have been avoiding. Meeting with people that make me feel uncomfortable. Work that stresses me out. Things I have been procrastinating for a while. .... Now I can deal with it!!! search youtube "paradox of I can do it"
"if you react you are being drawn into unconsciousness" soooo true. Eckhart Tolle changed my life for the better..I am so grateful I met you on my path 🙏🏻
This is my favorite Ekhart Tolle video I am a nurse and I watch it before every staff and nurses meeting I have to attend!!! His humor along with his wisdom is a great help!!
As Albert Einstein said 'You cannot solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created the problem in the first place'. In other words, we cannot "deal with" or "handle" unconscious interactions if we are inhabiting the same level of unconsciousness, because that would make us ourselves unconscious and not present (living in a conceptual world, un-embodied world, a world of time as past and future, of labels and ideas). And by the way, even to set oneself up as better (more spiritual, more evolved) than the unconscious behaviour exhibited by others is a subtle form of unconsciousness, a subtle form of erecting a protection mechanism for my sense of self importance.
Daniel G. People on varying levels of consciousness is a fact. And learning to respond to someone with a lower level of consciousness is highly necessary while living with and around people especially those with strong collective egoic identifications. Eckhart's suggestion has been of help to me in this regard without necessarily creating a 'holier than thou' attitude. It has only helped me to connect with their unconditioned realm and feel the sense of oneness that lies underneath the temporary identifications of every individual.
@M H Advice? As far as I can tell and as far as my intention went that was an observation, not an advice. Perhaps more beneficial would be to observe the source of that resentment/pain (behind resentment there is always pain, ultimately) that leads one to reply with such hostility.. (or more accurately, not just become aware of its source but actually feel it and become conscious of it as it arises and takes one over, how it feels like in the body, and what thoughts it generates) And yes, that second sentence can indeed be taken as an advice of sorts..though a friendly and caring one and one that is not intended as an attack. The emphasis is on the first word of the sentence - PERHAPS. There is no certainty here, only an attempt to shed light and inquire into what might be our blind spots, so that as a result perhaps we can all live in less darkness/pain and in more health, clarity/sanity, caring, inquiry and support for each other on this often painful and hard experience of living in this unconscious harsh judgemental culture (and being programmed and imprinted by this energy ourselves). And if one cares to shed light on my own blind spots then I wholly welcome that and am very open to hear it, if it indeed comes not as a judgemental attack but from a heart that is caring, aware of itself and wants to bring light into where there was previously darkness/unconsciousness.
@@Grateful2Life Indeed. Nicely stated. Thank you. And perhaps after one has become established in presence and (only) if one feels safe enough, perhaps it might be beneficial and useful then to take the inquiry one step deeper and look for the one who finds it necessary to protect oneself from those with lower levels of consciousness. In other words, there is a subtle (but profound) difference between naturally moving away from unconscious energy as a natural movement that has no resistance in it (as Mr. Tolle said 'you FIND YOURSELF walking away from the room') and between moving away as an act of judgement and resistance (which ultimately arises, does it not, from fear that something in oneself can be truly hurt by the unconscious behaviour of others)
Daniel G. Welcome😄. If we respond to a comment in the way Eckhart mentions from 6:20 - 7:26 in the talk, we can have a healthy dialogue that helps to develop clarity.
I really needed this today after my neighbours verbally attacked me. I was left with the old painbody feeling 'it must be me who is wrong, and I am misunderstood'. I see their unconsciousness, their lack of consideration for us, their neighbours. I am trying to keep Presence through this latest life lesson with Grace. Thank you, Eckhart. If the 'Deeper I' can wrap itself around this latest pain and dissolve it then gratitude and respect for the process. Deep breath.
This guy is like the world's greatest grandpa. Quiet, thoughtful, funny, sage. It's impossible for me to get upset while listening to him or disagree with anything he says. He's just too nice! I've read The Power of Now and am in the middle of A New Earth but figured I'd check out his RU-vid Channel. So glad I did. A real gem.
Hello Eckhart, I'm in los Angeles watching you speak your magic. I was washing laundry, but I'm now washing the trash out of my mind. I cant even begin to tell you about the comfort your rationale thoughts have given me. Thank you for all your wisdom and this channel💙❤💚💜💛
Been there. I would often spend time in solitude. That was a great way to recenter. In interactions, be of few words and present. Take it in doses. Plan periodic exits.
I had to completely disconnect from my family (we already lived in different states) lol. No emails or phone calls. Cold Turkey. I really did not expect to interact with them again. I spent time trying to unravel some ugly feelings and realized that some of the discontent was my problem. After two holiday seasons I found that my identity was stronger and they did not get under my skin like they once did. We don't need to stay married to our families forever. (Family of Origin). Later I stumbled onto some videos on RU-vid that talk about such Family of Origin issues.
Ah yes anger, in times of anger I go for a walk, sitting is hard, escaping into hobbies and such is repressing, but being alone with yourself undistributed is healing.
Yeah family..cant live with them,cant live without them..I have borderline mom and its quite a challenge,but cos of that I started "working"on my self and the awareness of being so Iam kinda "greatful for all the suffering-it really is our best teacher like Eckhart said multiple times..I wish all the beings joyfull ride and lots of love&light
Eckhart gives off this adorable silly old man vibe that is really effective at just putting you at ease and making his wisdom easier to digest, but you can tell behind that silly old man lay vast conscious space. Great video much love to you eckhart
I recently attended his live talk with 4000 people. It was full of wit, wisdom and plenty of humor. When he was pointing out the ways in which we identify ourselves and our large egos , we naturally burst out laughing ! In his company I would say it’s “laughing at yourself” He teaches stillness of mind and being intensely present! He’s a gift to humanity !
Thank you Eckhart much love and appreciation for your work! My answer to increasing social challenges in a society that has become so toxic, is self imposed isolation. I find more nurture and peace in solitude and I am beginning to believe this is the greatest gift life can offer us. Solitude!
I was going to get into how you've changed my life, but the words are not enough. You are an absolute visionary to humanity and continue to inspire a growing number of consciousness. My ego keeps voicing, "I want to be like him some day!" but I know we are all the same! :) Thank you from the very depths of my being.
They should make a Tolle Teddy that you can hug at night & go to sleep listening to Eckhart’s voice of wisdom. 🐻🌙 (Watch, now it’ll be on the shelves in a week!)
Thank you ET. I had to practice this yesterday dealing with a very aggressive "unconscious" nasty neighbour; my way of dealing with her, made the conversation swift from an aggressive attack (from her) to a somewhat positive outcome. Still I will remove myself from the toxic environment, however in the short term being present is saving me!
If I had one wish, it would be to spend any amount of time with Eckhart in a normal day him helping me to put his teachings into practice in my own life.
This came right on time. I'm always having a problem when other on here explain negative interactions with some ppl. They always explain that these people are reflections of myself which I'll never understand . However you're explaining that these ppl are unconscious therefore I can't let them affect me because they don't know what they are doing to themselves yet alone me. Therefore it's not personal 🤪😜🤣🤸, makes soooooooooooo much sense. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
when he started to talk about businesses and the business environment being highly unconscious, that made me think "well in my experience, most businesses and any profit-seeking entity is generally unconscious". which is a shame truly... I would love to know what his thoughts are on money and greed as a whole, because unfortunately money is the greatest illusion that has the tightest grip on society. money is of our own creation, and we hoard it, worship it, always want more of it, but can't we just print more? i believe that the concept of money being a finite resource is, at this point in time, very much false. how do we break out of the cycle of money money money more money when it literally has society in it's grip. i mean, it only has value because we have given it value, have we not? otherwise, it's just paper.
I feel like your family to me as I have none- but your words and your emotion goes straight to my heart and my spirit and means a lot to me and directs me and soothes me and trains me. Thank you thank you
I just love how real he is! And how he say the things coming on his mind. However, I am often just present, but I hate the times I feel like this and people say «how quiet you are today» -mostly because they talk about things i dont feel for engaging in.. and i want to talk and engage! And especially the times when i want to engage but my mind doesnt come up with anything/ relevant.. With some company you can just start a conscious talk, but when you dont come up with anything its not fun! My mind is amazing at times, just wish it stayed like that! Especially in the winter time its hard to keep the emotions good, and when «bad» company is the only thing i got, its hard.. (:
Yes that's what the teachers say, to not look at the situation or the person provoking you but your reaction, & how it makes YOU feel & work on that instead . Different situations affect people differently or none at all. Thank you for this insight. Needed to remember it. It's very important.
The True presence the ET describes is a misnomer to most people because true presence requires purity of heart and intention. When you are pure of heart you are your authentic self, you trust what you say and the decisions you make. You dont keep quiet if your pure heart requires that you speak up. You know that there are ocassions where you have to use your power and authority to stop energetic atrocities. You simply do not doubt yourself. We live in an egoic egoic world and it permeates negative constructs that we have agreed to ie, money, taxes etc. People follow programming and rules that don't resonate with pure heart and hence given themselves to satan/ego. It is for these reasons that you cannot be right or wrong. The world is a dream and you decide what it means for you.
I have been removing myself from one toxic work environment after another through the years. What is the answer besides self-employment? With each job I leave, I give up various things only to have the stress of starting over in a new workplace that turns out to be just as dysfunctional.
Don't discount self-employment. If you set up an LLC or a corporation or something like that the legal fiction assumes the majority of risk, not you the human self employer.
Hello Eckhart. I think this is a really interesting and useful subject. I find it difficult in the team meetings and it is a good reminder that often the best reaction is no reaction. It's no fun if you get dragged into situations .
I work at a prison. The entire company structure is unconscious. There is so much more they could do to help heal these inmates but it is more about making money.
Hello D. Eckhart tolle 😍😂😊 I'm watching your video from Syria😌💚, more specifically, from my house, not an office bulding🤣. And yes I should be studying now🙈🙊, but the very correct thing to do is to watch ur video😎👌. Thank u D. Eckhart you have saved my life💛. Love u so much ❤.
minimize social interaction with unconscious mind. spend time with you dog. make stronger bond with concious and god loving people. what unconscious mind interest are gossip, good and physical pleasure. once you are concious you realise that is a waste of time.
@M H Have you ever been so worried or stressed about something that it creates a tight pain in your stomach. Then realized when it happens, you are no longer thinking about it and that stomach tightness goes away? That's an example of self induced suffering created by thought. Ever got so mad or saw someone get so mad about something and then later you or they say, hey sorry about how I acted earlier, I was just really mad. That is the point where they actually became conscious of their unconscious behavior. Try it sometimes
"a company has an ego identity too" Which often appears to become characteristic of the psychopath. Along with nations, political ideologies, religions, and basically any group has such a potential, which goes to show it's the integrated individual who changes the world. Only then can truly rational groups emerge.
This comes exactly when I need it. I just stepped into a place that has no meaning. I stepped in willy nilly. It turns out to be more empty than I imagined it to be. I will certainly be out in four months, which is the min for making a quiet exit. How nice I hear Eckhart talking about exactly what I needed to hear about.....May the universe give me the strength to last these four months...
Eckhart is truly one of the great masters of all time. He started my awakening ten years ago and always feel like I’ve come home listening to him. Much love and gratitude😀❤️✌️
Eckhart's wisdom is so practical; his suggestions and ideas apply to work, family, neighbors, religion, love, ambition... When I refer to my calendar and am reminded that a challenging situation's coming up, A New Earth is my go-to book (along with Lama Surya Das' Awakening the Buddha Within) and start reading and reflecting. Inevitably, Eckhart's words help. When I actually hear him speak, his joy and humor just add a human dimension. Thank you so much Mr. Tolle!
There is someone i work with who requires intense presence so i dont go crazy! I work with him for about 3 hours so i gotta keep it up for three hours! man thats tiring! But better than allowing myself to get dragged into a really negative state.
I stayed at and served at a Vipassana meditation center where they had such meetings and interactions. So much aggression, so much ego, so much being stuck in the head. These vipassana courses have triggered complete mental fracturing of people and they just send them out to the mental hospital or just let them drive home completely delirious. They also completely bastardize the Buddha's teachings and call Jhana dangerous when the Buddha used Jhana to become enlightened and there is even a sutta called A Safe Place talking about Jhana.
This is such a nice synchronicity for me to come across this information right now. The coach I am currently working with told me today “on the most basic level, all any company really wants is to survive”. It ties in so nicely with the “every company has an ego/egoic energy field”-thought. Same idea, just put differently. I thought it makes sense and puts it into perspective❤🤗
True also for parents and teachers - dealing with kids...who need some kind of guidance input..but often trigger the unconscious reaction from parents and teachers. It's not easy but you realise both these roles provide great opportunity for practice...
YESSSSS! I do that often! Leave a conscious comment on a post full of negativity. A FB friend tod me she loved how we can still be friends even though we have a different opinion. Didn't have a different opinion I just saw no need in saying bad things about Matt Hancock and feeling awful about something they can't control about someone they will never meet. No need to ahve an opinion at all. Happy staying present
I can give an answer that in ANY OCCASION it will be the correct response... for if you enter into such a place ....unconditional, conscious love, without judgement ... it will manifest the correct outcome. I’ve had much experience with this regarding family. I love them all and I see that the act is not a personal attack but rather an unconscious reaction to their own pain body then it’s easy to silently pray for them... I say ok or hum a tune or wink or blink but done all with a very conscious mind. It keeps my head above the depths of unconsciousness and I am able to respond in LOVE as opposed to REACT. One must omit EGO... one must be in the NOW. One must be authentic real and without agenda! It’s easy to speak of such a place of existence WHICH comes with meditation... believing in my creator and loving self and others as unconditionally as a human being is capable of. But it does take a conscious decision to uphold peace within at all times! My inner peace is protected by the Devine presence of God/ Source/ creator/ benevolent energy.... the label means nothing... it is the belief that is held into consciousness that manifests into reality. So deep but so good. Love you all! Brigid (energy of love)
What a joy! Woke up and seeing this with a coffee.. best way to start the day. I love Eckharts humor. He could make quite a stand up comedian! For the conscious folks that is haha. ❤️ from the Netherlands
Hvg a struggle. Im awakened and when I interact with ppl, i find holes in their thinking and i come off as the difficult one since I have to explain myself, although they are wrong. I tried letting it pass but they walk away thinking they are right and now they are extra confident and i appear weak. Ppl r recklessly unconscious. Im present but not wanting to be wronged at my expense
young kim I have had this "same problem" since childhood. That is VERY DAMAGING to children because children need ADULT VALIDATION so very much. Now as an adult, though, I am learning to VALIDATE MYSELF IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. ALLOW these people to "think what they want." You can't change anyone's "thinking or behavior." That's UNCONSCIOUS THINKING, and we find it doesn't work. I spent 40+ years in the Church, and even those who prescribe to so called "humility," I have found are the MOST PRIDEFUL, ARROGANT, AND UNCONSCIOUS in their behavior. THEY HIDE BEHIND THE IDENTIFIED LABEL. Remember, Jesus did it all, so they use that as an EXCUSE TO CONTINUE BEING UNCONSCIOUS AND EMPLOY "JERKY BEHAVIOR." In fact, their whole ideology says, "I NO LONGER LIVE.....JESUS LIVES IN ME." WOW!!! So, they are ADMITTING TO BEING DEAD......WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT???? So, my advice to you, is to "STAY PRESENT as Eckhart says, and BE AUTHENTIC WITHOUT EGO, AND WALK AWAY KNOWING THAT YOU WERE AT LEAST TRYING AND BEING AUTHENTIC." VALIDATE YOURSELF, AND FORGET ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S APPROVAL. WE RARELY WILL GET IT IN THIS LIFE. I watched a video the other day, and the guy said something that has stuck with me. There are 7 BILLION PEOPLE on the EARTH right now, and we must realize that "IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE ALL 7 BILLION PEOPLE." Everyone is different, and so people are naturally going to disagree with us, as we disagree with others. Don't think of it as YOU BEING WEAK, AND THEY BEING STRONGER.........IF YOU BECOME MORE AWARE, "YOU CAN CONSCIOUSLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU BELIEVE ONE WAY, AND THEY BELIEVE ANOTHER." OF COURSE, THEY MAY THINK "WEAKNESS," BUT THAT IS BECAUSE THEIR EGO IS STILL CONTROLLING THEM. YOU WILL KNOW BETTER, AND JUST REALIZE THEY HAVE THE "FREE WILL" TO CONTINUE IN THIS DEATH LIKE THINKING. JUST CONTINUE TO VALIDATE YOURSELF EVERY TIME YOU COME UP AGAINST THIS "FAULTY THINKING." I am dealing with a very difficult situation at work, and part of this LONG reply to you is as "MUCH AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO MYSELF RIGHT NOW AS TO YOU." I HOPE I CAN STAY PRESENT THIS EVENING WHEN I GO INTO WORK TO DEAL WITH VERY UNCONSCIOUS INDIVIDUAL WHO ONCE WAS A FRIEND, AND HAS NOW TURNED INTO AN ENEMY. I am trying to look at the situation, though, as a GROWTH OPPORTUNITY as Eckhart mentions in this video. STAY IN THE LIGHT!!! Peace!!! 😍👍👏💖
Where do you draw the line on disrespect though? How long before you begin to feel your self dignity gets dimisihed as someone is yelling and cursing at you for example? You cant necessarily just remove yourself.
Today at work I accepted situations when I would feel negative energy inside of me before. I have people at work who say unkind things. But I am not resisting anymore and I do not feel anything anymore. But I do not know if this is shift in consciousness, or am I now without emotions. It's like I don't care anymore and I do not want anything from them. I do not need their respect, I respect myself, I do not need they like me, but I do not know if I like myself, because I do not now what to like, or dislike.
What is so astonishing, is that grown adults behave like this. Do you have to die to get to heaven, no you don't, you have to be with truely intelligent people.
Hello administrator, it would be great to have a good subtitle and the translation into Spanish of the videos that are uploaded to this channel. the subtitles generated by YT are not good and the power of the message is lost de Eckhart Thanks and I look forward to the videos with subtitles.
You have given me so much hope with this talk. I was on the floor. I experienced something which seemed to remove my being. Thanks for giving me some light again. I was slipping away.
I love Eckart. I just finished reading "Oneness with All Life" and I have been hooked on his RU-vid videos ever since. Thank you for existing in my lifetime.
I wish I was watching this particular video early in my 40+ yr ‘career’ in corporate insanity to retire with pensions and retirement funds... I’m no longer obsessed with what will happen to that.... I do know I’ll never go back to that work though ! Retired early...couldn’t take it anymore...finally got smart about it I guess... Thanks for another great session Eckhart!
maria maya yes that word still turns my stomach even now... but only for the moment I say it. Hope you aren’t under the heavy hand of that environment Maria.
I just woke up. This video was referred to me right after an unconscious friend on Facebook tried to draw me into a heated discussion. Thank you for this video.
Amazing! Just experienced a situation a couple hours ago. I asked the Holy Spirit to step in on behalf of me, He did. I had nothing to say and the issue was resolved in 2min. The Powe of Presence. Thanks for all the spirituality teachers who got me and all other to cease reacting over unconscious minds. Love you❤🙏
Thank you -I work in such company, and you are right on the point ! I needed this - I felt in my soul - that something was not right - but you putted in words - makes such sense. I consider them ( those people ) as my challenge to grow in better me - I can kill them with kindness... sometimes
That's why I left Iran, some times your life is more precious than reacting to an unconscious GOVERNMENT. It's not worthed. I'm in CANADA living a peaceful life for the past 28 years. Love love love this state. Going through ups and downs here in my new home,but I have the most fundamental necessity called freedom. 🙏👌🦋💜🥰❤
I read a book on boundaries in my thirties, that led me to the self-awareness that I had been raised in a religious culture so toxic, that a chapter was dedicated to my own life. I was a pattern of pain, which shocked me so badly at that time that I threw the book across the room in a shock. I then called everyone to holler at those who had harmed me, before I picked back up that book. The next chapter was on how to respond, and not react. I laugh now at how silly it is when I laugh at how I messed up, yet there is such pain in that part too, that it’s a bittersweet memory. That’s one of my largest lessons, in reacting versus responding. I am grateful to find more like minded people that are practicing sitting with the reactions we feel, together, finding responses. Hope everyone is having a good day. ✨🕊💖🙏🏼✨
Sweden is a great example for extremely unconcious people. And i mean this in a very social way where the unconcious people just are completely taken over by one sided opinions. Media and the radio stations everyone here has the same opinions. If someone has another opinion about climate change or immigration they are certainly not invited to the table.
Daniel Lindkvist Helt överens! Svart/Vitt , kollektiv identitet, rädsla för att tycka fel...... Narcissmen breder ut sig och håller på att bli det normala.
I can attest that it's just the same in Belgium and I safely presume in most parts of the world. The people who are willing to do anything for personal power over others have done so. These are the people who we call psychopaths and sociopaths. They have been doing so for centuries from the shadows and now it the time for us, the people with good intentions, to bring their conspiracy to the light. Remember that it is not possible for someone so unconscious that they only follow the demands of the ego to see what they are doing is wrong. It's the good people who tolerate the evil to be done. There is no-one going to come and save you, you are the savior your are waiting on whole your life. Let's all connect and speak our heart, keeping silence is just as complicit as speaking the lie.
