When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening. When they said that she was isolating, she was healing. When they said she was acting funny, she was growing. When they said that she had changed, she was evolving. When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within.

I’m so grateful for this teaching. I have a social event tonight and have been in tears this morning, dreading the thought of navigating gossip (including the possibility of me accidentally saying the wrong thing). I will intentionally choose silence as often as possible. Thank you Eckhart 🌻

So hard!! And it is so easy to identify with an opinion and get lost in that identification. This is a very good practice to become more conscious.

@stephenflood3463 Год назад

I'm from Ireland, and gossipping is rampant here. They live for it and I don't agree with it. It's a really low frequency, and in my mindset anyone who gossips about another person is just gratifying themselves as if they're not as bad as the person they are gossipping about. It's a very mean thing to do and the ones who gossip about other people in a negative light are unconscious of the harm they're causing to others. Forgive them all for they know not what they do.

@blancadakini Год назад

Every judgment is just a confession

@CitrusSimon Год назад

If a person identifies with gossiping, and indulges in it, they are suffering. It is a severe and enduring mental illness, which is considered to be normal by those who indulge in it. This normality is delusional, why? Because it cuts a person off from perceiving the depths of who they are, and the astonishing mysteries contained within.

Presence is in every thought, no matter how positive or negative it may appear, it’s in breath, it’s in farting, it’s the wind messing up the hair, it’s falling in love, it’s in grief, it’s in jealousy, it’s in embarrassment, it’s in yucky food, it’s in mediocre sex, it’s in the most beautiful melody, it’s in every disease and aching, in every doubt and disappointment, in every laughter. It keeps reminding you ALL THE TIME that it has never left you. No one can teach you how to be alive. There isn’t anyone to teach or learn, all there is aliveness. “You” already are it just as is! Whole and complete - > it’s your birthright -> already! 😊

@3foldartco Год назад

I've been staying silent as a matter of practice for a while now, but I didn't really know why. This video made me realize I'm not attached to an opinion lots of the time, so it seems unimportant to add to theirs. I was afraid I was becoming antisocial, but this now makes sense. Thank you, Eckhart!

@elisabeth4342 Год назад

Non-verbal communication is the most telling - the most genuine (except for PUAs, obviously). For the most part, you can believe body language. Opinionated or communicative people often feel this need to express what they're thinking or feeling, and as long as it's done TACTFULLY, then it's healthy! You can't keep all your thoughts to yourself to protect other's feelings about themselves. If you feel strongly enough about a specific subject/topic, then it's ok to express your opinion or share a factual experience. That's normal. But if the goal is to gossip (trying to make yourself feel superior to others), then it's malicious and pointless... better to avoid it completely. It's mean and unsophisticated!

@marciasinger Год назад

To stop identifying with mental positions, concepts, beliefs, opinions -- even perceptions: quite the human task, given our divine design. To refrain from, or be free of the need to make judgments, project our better and worse ideas onto others... And yet how to be able to stand for, be centered and grounded in what matters most to us, including the compassion, passion and courage to speak our 'truths' on behalf of all living beings --with respect, mindful that others have a right and need to make discoveries too, and take stands.

@michaelludvik2173 Год назад

@yacovmitchenko1490 Год назад

"Don't seek the truth; stop cherishing opinions". That is correct, and a useful practice. Yet in some deep, perhaps indirect sense, one on the spiritual journey IS seeking truth. It is a razor's-edge path, because there is always the danger that one may become attached to what one THINKS is the truth, or to only a single manifestation/aspect of it. I stress this point because the only alternative to NOT seeking at all is to remain mired, as are many who don't give a damn about spirituality or meditation. In other words, without seeking at all you don't begin your journey; you simply remain confused and stuck in your conditioning. Remember: when Siddhartha left his palace, he began SEEKING a way out of samsaric existence. In some sense, he WAS seeking the truth. It all depends on the manner of your seeking, your approach to it, and your vigilance during your journey.

Perhaps yes nobody’s asking for my opinion but she stares at me SO EXPECTINGLY which really triggers my compulsion to react. You know mirror neurons and all plus we are social creatures. We hear from the masters but don’t forget this is very counter intuitive work we are doing. In my highest states of mind what matters most to me is that I am kind to others. Including the gossipers. I feel it’s about finding this balance that is important work.

Jammer dat er geen nederlandse ondertiteling is en niet alle mensen hebben de universiteit gehad meneer Tolle. Ik heb ook uw nieuwe boek gehad maar de letters zijn nogal klein zeker als je een slecht oog hebt is daar nogal moeilijk door te komen. Uw eerste boek in het hier en nu was een stukken makkelijker te lezen. En uw filmpjes gebruik uw best wel moeilijke woorden. Ik kan Engels op zich prima verstaan en ook lezen, maar de moeilijke woorden daar blijf ik dan in hangen moet het woordenboek er nogal vaak bij. Ik volg online vaker spirituele boodschappen ook in het Engels maar dat is een stuk minder lastig zijn ook best wel hele wijze mensen. Ik had begrepen dat u het niet zo hebt met intelligente mensen, zelf zit u ook niet zonder. Jammer vind ik dat wel, want ik luister graag naar uw. 🙏❤️
