No Story, No Problem | Eckhart Tolle on Eliminating Your Own Suffering 

I love the way he laughs at the things most of us struggle with everyday. What a delight to know that these are non issues that need no attention. Thank you eckhart. :)

An Eckhart video a day keeps the pain body at bay ✌🏽

He has to be the calmest centered person I listen to. I can incorporate all he says into my life in dribbles and drops. So strong are his simple words. I just want to give him a big perpetual bear hug. Thank you for what you share Eckhart. You are loved.

What peacefulness to listen to him. It feels meditative.

You have saved my life this year, I’m a whole person again for my children thanks to you. You also saved my narcissistic husband from himself which I didn’t think possible so there is hope for anyone that wants happiness. He’s figured out his family is more important than his money and control over us, took us nearly losing our family to get there but we got there 😊

Comparing myself with what I was ten years ago, there doesn't seem to be a big difference. The same stories, the same ego, the same anger. In fact, all intensified 10x, I would say. But the big difference is that there is a bit of awareness in me now as and when anger arises, as and when the stories start spinning up. Either right at the moment or in a belated manner. I was totally identified with ego and was fully unconscious ten years ago. I feel I am more conscious now. Not a whole lot, but a tiny bit. It feels like the path to peace. Thanks Eckhart.

Breath of fresh air every time. Thx mate..

I've just been made redundant from my job and I was definitely in storyville about it. Definite suffering. I've let it go today. The feeling is now light, free, and a strange feeling of exhilaration like the weight of the world is removed. I'm so grateful 🙏🏻🌹

Absolutely love Eckhart- can’t say I’ll ever reach true awakening but the knowledge and trying helps me a lot in life. - he’s like a goodnight story listening to him before sleep and he’s got the cutest, warm and genuine eyes I’ve ever seen ❤

I truly believe Eckhart is channeling God when he speaks. It’s almost as if you can see him waiting patiently for divine inspiration whenever he pauses in his speaking, and his short but concise way of communicating consciousness seriously has magical powers

Great video! I love the part where Eckhart says you can relive the confrontation in your mind over and over again, after the fact... if you forgot to say something to the person when it happened. So true! I've been able to observe so many dysfunctional egoic reactions in people close to me that it now serves as a constant reminder to not make up a story.

"the egoic self is not in touch with the body" I SO LOVE THIS how he puts it! Thank you Eckhart.

...no food for the ego anymore... like a sign at the zoo, "please don't feed the egos." & the underlying message, the ego enjoys anger, but becuz the ego is in a disconnect with the body, doesn't recognize that the body doesn't like what anger does to it, guts in a knot, tightness in chest, clenched jaw/ fists... by observing inner body we can see the harm of keeping angry stories alive with our mental/voice in head narrative....that perks up the pain-body, which in turn reinforces the narrative....& so on in a loop.

I really needed this today, thanks 🙏

The hardest thing in my journey has been to erase my ego. It has definitely gotten better and healthier, but I still observe it coming out in my life more than I want it to.

You are very good reader of people

As you continue on your journey, you will start to see yourself more brightly. The resolution will improve every day. You will begin to know what is really important to you and what you can leave behind. It may be self-doubt that falls into the dim as your light increases. Gratitude and self-care will become more evident in your day-to-day. You will say goodbye to bad habits and recreate your environment so that it reflects who you are meant to be.

There's no problem without a story

Absolutely Beautifully Brilliant Thank You for the Laughter Eckhart ❤ Sending Much Love, Light and Blessings to All One Consciousness. Thoroughly Enjoying Your Playlist

Thoughts are just internal background noise, much like external background noise, they are not really ours at all. The story comes from our engaging with the background noises be them internal or external and having an opinion on feelings about the noises. If we just recognise and accept its just background noise no opinions, feeling, thoughts or stories devolve and get chance to spoil our peace and happiness 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm really struggling mentally right now. thank you for helping with your calming voice and teaching.

Sometimes something not so pleasant just occurs in my life and then comes dear Eckhart with this very topic in his videos and I get the answers, explanations 😁. Just wonderful.

This video is HUGE for me today. Part of my journey out of decades of self-imprisonment. Thank you, Teacher Eckhart.

Have been through death of close family members and also relationships recently... and if it wasn't for Eckhart's teachings, would have been lost. Thank you Eckhart for BEING the LIGHT. Such a wonderful lightness and sense of humour!!

This guy is amazing, cute and wise. He helped me come out of a journey I was seeking understanding and when he brought the news to me I was humbled

He’s an amazing Soul. So grateful for his teachings, presence & loving incarnation- God Bless you Eckhardt 🙏🤗🙏❤️🙏😊🙏

I only share bad news when I’m in a good mood! It reaffirms to my people that I’m well so they don’t worry or get upset about anything and it helps me to reaffirm my brain the same.

Mocking the ego is great and helps a lot understanding it, but the risk is to get stuck in an even worse part of the ego, who thinks it is wiser than the ego. shifting from of wanting to be superior to someone else to wanting to be superior to the ego:-)

Yeah, I've found more ego in spiritual communities then most places, funny how that works.... ....so my ego says 'wow they're so in their ego but I'm so much better than that...and more right than them".... and then my spirit guide chimes in and says "you dumb*ss (lol) you humans are mirrors for each other, that's how you learn and maybe it's YOUR own spiritual ego being reflected back at you.." ...hmmm at the end of the day we're all learning and if we can just be present we can transcend ego and find the gems of truth hidden beneath the veil of the ego and his tricks and illusions....

So true 🤣 Ex partners are a historical memory : my ex partner, a very good person, but when he sees me he can't help remind me of events that I don't even remember anymore🥴 He swears to me they are real 😂 So grateful 💓🙏

Love you Eckart. May God bless your eternal Soul that shines the bright light above all of us ready to listen to ur deep and profound wisdom. Namaste

Sending love and support to anyone who is having a difficult time right now. You are not alone! Seek out a friend or even a professional for a bit of extra help today. You got this!

Muchas gracias.... SAD , BUT TRUE.... SO TRUE THAT IT BECOMES ...FUNNY... ( My ego is Very funny) Thanks for SHOWING ME how it LOOKS with your mimics❤

I have noticed that I tell myself stories like the one that Eckhart mentioned at the beginning of this video, and I get so frustrated with them, it is comforting to hear that even Eckhart who is so advanced and awake on this path of awakening, the mind still try’s to influence his reactions. Thanks so 🎉much dear Eckhart for being so open to us, and for your wonderful teachings.

I can See the unconscioussnes in my life after watching this Video 😅 thank you!

Waaah, even after his illness, Eckhart Tolle looks younger and very fresh than before.As he always says, enlightenment fuel you at cellular level and brings a lot of happiness from inside.Thank you great teacher of the world.Love from Mauritius.

A daily dose of Eckhart chases suffering away.

Thank You.. With Love! :)

"Every time I get angry, I poison myself again." --- Subtitle of a section in a book I skimmed through...

This is gold. Thank you Eckert!!!

The best example of the default narrating self is the 2002 movie "Memento." It's _so_ obvious what's going on, but you have to watch it 10-20 times to realize it. The way the story is presented in vignettes (the past & future jumbled in the now), it's a very good analogy for how we (before awakening) don't see it. It's a distracted way of existing that we "make work" in the same way you initially have to make that movie work. It's a very clever plot. The main character (Lenny) has (or tells himself he has) anterograde amensia (AA), an inability to form new memories. If you were unable to remember your inner narrative for long, what would you do? You'd externalize it, "make it work" with poloroids, notes, tatoos (the important "facts" you tell yourself). That's what the entire movie is about: what we do, but plainly visible for all to see (not kept secret in our head, but mildly visible in our quirky behavior). His behavior is more than quirky, but blamed on AA. If you look at what hes really doing, he's doing what everyone does. It's only more obvious because he wears it for all to see. There is a scene where he's presented with what's really happening. He has a lucid moment of "it's really this way.... the furious story I tell myself is all in my head... except it's not in my head. I keep my head in these poloroids, notes, tatoos..." He could have chosen to write a new note, end the story. But, no. He altered his notes to keep it going, and then (poof, new jumbled scene, and he's back to his old self again, furiously narrating himself to himself.). After that scene (but it's jumbled, it appears elsewhere in the movie), he's driving down the road rationalizing what he did, "we all need mirrors to remind ourselves of who we are. I'm no different..." then slams on the brakes in the middle of the street, stopping in front of a tattoo parlor, "oh yes, now, where was I?" as he grabs his latest poloroid with a new "fact" to tatoo on himself. A moment of clarity, and then back to the comfortable existence of "who I am." Making it work. Everyone does what he does. It's just not as obvious for everyone else to see. It's just as difficult for ourselves to see. It's like we only have a 5-minute span of keeping our awareness "there." (If anyone wondered what awakening is, I would say it's in that movie. But, you may have to watch it 20 times to realize the movie you're *really* watching. It's not what you think it is.).

❤😅🌙 I love him and now discovering Ekam 🙏🏽 let’s end suffering across the planet 🌎 ❤

Lol, I love Eckhart!

So beautiful! ❤thank you!!

His humor is so wonderful

Thank you.

5:12 I wish I could think of a way to explain this concept to coworkers without putting them off because he is literally explaining the phrase we all know "stress kills" or some version of that. I love and appreciate Eckhart always and his perspectives always align with what I understand about physics and the human as an animal. 🙏🕊️❤️

The ego believes it is guilty, so wants to project that guilt onto others, in a vain attempt to be rid of it.

great help. Thank you.😘😘😘

Thank you!

One of the most powerful videos that he has.

Thank you ❤🙏🏻🦋🌸

Wow! 😮 “Isn’t it common sense if you want somebody to read what you have written you would write it legibly?” 😂😅😂😅 That is precisely the stories my mind is often talking about. I just smile and laugh when those thoughts even arise. I am not swept up in feeling any irritation, and if it is a strong reaction I somehow seem to catch it rather quickly and I watch it curiously, and most of I am watching it consciously, and that’s absolutely fascinating, how could I be irritated while I am curious and interested? I can’t be! If I am irritated then I am most certainly not interested or curious in the least bit. So even being caught up with the mind’s stories about being irritated is something of great interest for me at the moment and I love this!

Thank you Eckhart.

Did this just the other day. A man was trying to argue with me about politics I didn't say anything or argue back even though I had my opinions, but later in my head I had a lot to say to him and it put me in an icky mood for like 3 days and I would love to not have that happen ever again.

Beautifully said 💜 I am definitely guilty of this and working on it ✨

Happy Wednesday everyone! Remember to take a moment today to appreciate the beauty of the world around you and to be thankful for all the blessings in your life. Stay positive and keep spreading kindness wherever you go.💜🦋

Beautiful video 😍

Fabulous oh how you get me laughing at perfect truth…

Hi Eckhrat 🙏🏾

The man who change my fake life to a real life ❤

As common sense is no longer common nowadays, I often find myself frustrated with ppl esp with my loved ones. My pain body takes over everytime they do sthg stupid. But I'm aware of this suffering cos I truly dislike this frustration or resentment. This clip is so helpful 👍🏻TQ 🙏 I'm looking fwd to be as calm as Eckhart in near future 👌🏻💕

So Tolle says that focus on the petty desires of the self is not good for the body (anxiety and fear). I couldn't agree more. We must understand that our bodies are a projection of our Spiritual Self, and so the more material focused we are, as opposed to being spiritually focused, the more the natural energy of greater existence erodes our bodies. Through my significant research, one thing that I have found is there is a discrete connection between having a purpose in life and longevity. I mean here a spiritual purpose rather than a dogged pursuit of material things like those who are driven by material wealth and status. Those who love this world for what it is, and find their place within it, have a distinct advantage over those who simple aspire to be "more."

Gratitude

brilliant

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀️☀️☀️ 💚💛❤️ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

Sometimes I become tired of absolute peace.

Hello Eckhart Tolle.🐢🦕🦖

Dear Eckhart, what is conscience? And what is the difference between consciousness and conscience?

💚💚

... bagaglio inutile 🤗☺️a cui,per molti anni, abbiamo dato ragione 🤣quanti zaini abbiamo riempito 😅😂e natural/mente,avevamo ragione noi😂😅...un vecchio proverbio giapponese dice:buon viaggiatore,poco bagaglio 😮👌🙏 grazie Eckhart,per ricordarci del depositare i bagagli inutili 🙏☮️🌼

No woman, no cry

🙏

❤🍀

He reminds me of Mr.Bean when he is being funny :)

Wow, in the media industry becoming “conscious” could lead to major losses of (very highly paid) jobs. After all, factual news can be issued on an A4 sheet, everything else is opinion, speculation, gossip etc. etc. What a “saving” on suffering that would be, not to mention the forests. I'm old enough (75) to remember the times of only the 8 o'clock news (for 20 minutes) followed by the weather forecast (for tomorrow 😊).

The ego, or self, is truly a serious obstacle to overcome...or is it? I think in terms of what happens to us in existence is part of the dream of ourselves that is inexorably leading us to full awareness. We infrequently stop to consider how our thinking molds our reality, so if we put great credence upon eradicating the ego, then that becomes our great travail, doesn't it? But if we put serious gravity upon becoming fully ourselves and therefore the complete awareness that is our destiny to become, then that becomes our modus operandi, doesn't it in kind? The open secret is that we are everything. We are spirits, we are bodies, we are perfect and we are evil. We are all things, and what we express is our choice.

😊

🙏😁🙏

It seems to me that jesus was the one with ego inflation (on the cross) in the example you give. I mean technically thats right isnt it?

If everything is a story, what is real🤔

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh man, you don't want to get Eckhart irritated, you would not like him when he's irritated - such a low key comedian

Lets break this down as I see it. Quote; " ego is always unconscious", the Ego is never always unconscious because ego is a mediator between conscious and unconscious. If the ego was always unconscious, then it would not be able to sense the body's external stimulus's. Quote; "self" " inflate itself" , how can there be an "itself" when the ego is always" unconscious", according to the teacher. One would be continuously numb with no story ever. This is all mumbo jumbo. It all sounds like to me that when someone has lost their ego at a very early stage in life for what ever reason, they spend the rest of their life teaching that ego is a bad thing and not fully understanding why. One without sense's or ego is a walking lost cause without a story.

4 men was sitting on a bench listening. 1 Said: i cant hear the music. I think i lost myself. 2 Said: i can hear the music, i think i found myself. 3 Said: i am listening to myself but i hear no music. I think i found death. 4 said nothing. He just smiled. Finaly 3 said: Hey DUde!!! What did you hear???? 4: said- sorry i did not listen. / riddle maker
