Eckhart Tolle delves into the challenge of presence in the face of the ego and the importance of transcending conditioned patterns to achieve spiritual wakefulness. He explains that the main challenge for most people is the inability to be present in the moment due to constant mental commentary and interpretation. Eckhart Tolle invites listeners to become aware of the present moment without any mental commentary, to experience the totality of sense perceptions, and to become aware of awareness itself. He emphasizes that the awakened state of consciousness, referred to as "Turiya" in Indian spiritual philosophy, is already present within each individual, just hidden by layers of conditioning.

“The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.” - Eckhart Tolle.

Well yes, "the Self that said "I!"" That's the fall into unconsciousness, as related in the myth of Creation, Brihadaranyaka Up. 1.4.1-5, in opposition to the Western Creation Myth, according to which man falls into sin. But actually, it is the same thing : Adam and Eve become selfconscious: they realise that they can be observed, and so at first become ashamed, but then later on, of course, arrogant, jealous, and all the other unpleasant states of the soul. However, in the West, at least at the beginning, this was considered as a historical event, whereas the Upanishad refers to a psychological phenomenon. If I consider myself to be the subject of my thinking, I'm already the object of my thinking, as if I imagine that I'm able to move outside of myself. That's why every person should become a "you", instead of an I, he, she or it. And in my book (hahaha, still having to use human language after all) , I identify "Now" with "You" " U = Nu" (This is Dutch. "I" mainly write in Dutch) "The Ancient Wall The Ancient wall is shining through and I can see a glimpse of you that shows me you are near The causal link of time and space extensive as the Devil's maze it seems to disappear I try to take you hand and make you understand But vain is my endeavour So shall I just accept that you are to be kept apart from me forever?" (out of "Anamorfosen, by Narada Muni) I wrote this poem in Dutch, originally (sorry that I have to go on referring to myself, but I do think I have to take responsibility for what I write). Please note: the last line of the poem is a question. Not an observed fact.

Very true words; that thing has captured and taken you over! That is exactly what has been achieved. Eckhart may refer to "that thing" as the ego, the false-self, or the pain body, but it's all the same and it is not our true-self. Our true-self is found in presence, stillness and silence, and that point of illumination is what lifts us out of the grasp of the false-self and into the stream of Christ Consciousness that unites us all, like Christ, with the Divine. This is the birthing of our true-self or what some refer to as being born-again. This level of enlightened transformation is the ultimate purpose of life. Much love and gratitude goes out to Eckhart for his generous service to Humanity's highest good. Namastè ✨💛🌿🕊✨

I would like to add that Eckhart speaks of the difficulty of being present while the mind keeps rolling along, He speaks of listeners to become aware, while holding to the present moment practice presents , practice listening. Yes learn to be listening while being present. Listen right left and underneath , practice listening while being, its a new doorway for presents that has always been there but the brain has been overriding the listening process. Listening can bring a lot to surface when you are hearing many things at one moment. I now practice listening and have found much more to presence. My name is Tom Kelly and I follow Echkart closely.

This is great, I came across Eckhart recently, he is explaining this very well. I have written about this myself, really interesting topic. In lucid dreams, it is almost best described for me as the roles reverse and the higher self takes over and the self narrates the dream experience. In a lucid dream it is as if the ego, the self dissolves, and you are.... IT. This is really amazing actually. I should be listening to more Eckhart, I can definitely learn from his writings, speeches. Thanks for sharing.

Turya is sometimes situated under Dreamless Sleep as well. It is Silence, which contains all Sounds, just like white contains all other colours. So you get: A (Waking consciousness), U (Dream consciousness), and M or Dreamless sleep. And Turya is still under that, just like the image of the Ocean under the ripples, you use so often, Eckhart. "Everything which is not AUM, is AUM too." Well, anyway, symbolical systems are abounding, and contradictory more than once, which should make us happy, to realize that truth can never be captured, and that human thinking can never be freed of paradoxes.

Close your eyes, think of a pink elephant. The elephant appears in a space and it vanishes in that space. Open your eyes and notice your thoughts. Don’t they appear in that same space ?

Let me break this down as " I" see it, logically. But what is doing the prompting to condition the mind and for what purpose would something want to condition the mind. For a start, the mind cannot be conditioned because it is a non physical no thing because it is not an object nor an entity. Something within is sending thought messages to the physical brain and the physical brain directs that thought message to the mind so that the mind can be directed towards someone or something to form connected ideas. In brief; Considering your physical body /brain was/is BORN, it was not initially Born, that would be impossible. ( dust to dust) That would mean something had to FORM initially. That something that FORMED was the Fusing of Elements FORMULAE that requires a Symbiotic relationship with Biology. You were initially FORMED not BORN. Your FORM FORMULAE is your imprinted knowledge within that is conditioning it's/your physical brain. Basically your FORM is the faculty for your physical brain and both are the faculty for mind thought. Your imprinted knowledge is also your Personality being directed to your physical brain from within. Your FORM is your PRESENCE/ I am/ BEING that is enlightening your brain of it's PRESENCE via it's message send and receive EGO tool that the FORM implemented. Of course the FORM is excited to be known it's there within by the physical BORN brain. Hello! what so egotistical about that. it's natural self centred by the FORM within. There is no CHALLENGE of PRESENCE in the FACE of EGO because your PRESENCE FORM is excited to use it's EGO tool to enlighten your BORN brain and evolve it's BIOLOGICAL HOST, logically. ( chuckle chuckle) I'm THINKING the so called teacher is losing the plot. Get it.

For me it is not spiritually unconscious. If it were spritual unconsciousness, then, a lot of the time, we become brain-washed to teachings and do nothing and injustice of all kinds prevails. We talk about the negative part of our thoughts because there is a civil or criminal illegal element and many people do not understand abuse (especially civil abuse) can be sanctioned! I do not understand the audience's laughing in this video when ET speaks of someone hitting their wife at the 4-minute mark of this video! Wow. Consequently, people talk about the abuse they experienced to their friends or a mental health worker, turn thoughts in their head 24-7 and the abuser is laughing at the bank (and getting better at their skill of fraud) because no legal action is taken and ET tells people to not think bad thoughts (which, we know, is next-to-impossible)! If something is abusive, you report it and the system takes years for it to go to court so the abuse inévitably remains in your thoughts. If you don't report it, then, you live with the fact someone exploited you and that part is nearly impossible to turn off in your mind. Who wants to live with the fact that they know they were violated and, even worse, do not know that they can sue in civil court to get a remedy for the civil abusive behavior of another? But, I suppose in the process of getting your remedy settled, you can be more present and calm. I wait for the day someone like you, ET, links spiritual teachings (and the social-services and mental health services - psychologists and social workers) to the legal system. Many people who are in constant suffering probably have needed legal help somewhere down the line. I have been watching you, ET, for nearly ten years but it is rare for me to comment on your posts. This video hit home. Thanks ET
