The Choice to Be Present | Eckhart Tolle 

If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light. - Rumi

"Calm down and thousands will be saved" Serafim Sarovski. ❤️

We want peace in the world

“Be the presence behind the awareness…” and become one with everything

Everywhere I go, i feel i don't fit in. I'm glad to see some like minded people in this channel.❤❤

Not believing in reactive patterns of the ego and the past is absolutely a choice . It is hard to believe this when we are in reactivity , and victim, but in my experience as long as we believe it is not a choice, we will continue to re-live and re-create patterns of the ego and suffering . The key is to take your power back and believe that it is a choice, and you will start to shift your energy and manifest more harmonious reflections that are in alignment with those beliefs . Great video Eckhart ! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day ! Much Love 🙏

Thank you, Eckhart. Just as one unconscious person in a room can drag all the others into unconsciousness, just one conscious person in the room can lift up all the others to a higher state of consciousness. Wouldn't it be nice to have political leaders, prime ministers, presidents, movie actors. sports persons, media professionals, celebrities who are very conscious and present, so that an entire nation, the whole of humanity can rise up to that. Peace will be the only thing found then.

The presence wants you to feel you have a choice, the presence then chooses to go through you. It's helpful when you look from the outside, and feel you have a choice.🌹 You cannot improve this moment by adding unnecessary thought to it.🌿 Bring presence into every moment. You are the presence. There is no duality, you versus presence. 🌷 You can think without losing presence, then thinking is not bad at all. 🦋 It's only when you lose yourself in self-serving thinking that you create one problem after another. Thanks Eckhart. 13 September 2022. 🦋🦋🦋

Who doesn't love you Eckhart you're the "slap" of humanity 🤔🎶😘

How blessed we all are to be listening to this man. I give thanks I was guided to find him, and you all.

Today I was very sad, your trainings are always like a light guiding me through the darkness. I'm glad I can understand English Language. Thank you Eckhart 🙏🏻🌸

"You don't fit in anymore," "You're not the same person we hired." I heard that many times, usually from lawyers in San Francisco, who hired me to work on litigation projects.

i dont know why but when i watch his videos,i dont mind anything and i feel pure love from him and feel that he cares humanity and us so much❤️🙏

No matter how conscious one is!there are many more unconscious.. one tends to then isolate oneself!

✨Presence is a treasure, more precious than any diamond in the world. 💎🌍🙏🏼🧘🏻‍♂️

Give Peace a chance.

I live in places where I can afford seeking to be present (or to let the present take hold). It sure is nice, living in the instant, feeding my soul of raw, untainted perceptions. Letting go of unnecessary thoughts, feeling clean of past and future worries. I know that when I have the chance to carry this feeling in the usual places of human chaos, peace stays around, and usually spread (this is a subjective, yet very strong feeling). I like the description of waves of good intentions propagating around. I think it comes from people naturally recognizing the peace in others, remembering, and acting it out in response. I will probably not become fully and only "myself" all the time. That would require clearing all of my brain-dust, first : turning all of my loaded emotions, hidden behind incomplete memories and insufficient perspectives, into interesting knowledge. Then maturing that knowledge into elevating wisdom. All the while letting my ego and its selfishness sink in my inner sea of serenity. Complex and rewarding, the training of a lifetime of many falls, and many rises. Unfortunately I am not a monk, I live in that weird irrational and competitive world. In that place of chaos, the present does not seem to care to many. I think we are more and more doing our best to inspire, softly. I see, or maybe I learned to perceive, more people giving hints around that there is more to the world than the eyes can see, and the money can buy. That feeling of full presence, oneself to the world, is a weapon of mass connection. I dare to dream the concept being taught in school, with practical exercises of meditation for a start. Imagine a whole generation of children having such a head-start on their path to self-discovery... Now that would be grand, a gift for all humanity. Until then, I'll continue to inspire by being _here and now_ as much as I can, and avoid being the negative I can get. Worrying is so easy and natural, we forget it is also optional, an unconscious manifestation of past traumas, and future anguish. Still, really hard to shake, that's a bummer. Worrying is written in our humanity, so it is a natural struggle to let go. A worthy life objective, too, I find. ✌

One day I could not sleep because of cough and headache. One video with Ekhart brought me instant relief and I fell asleep. Thank you mr Tolle, you are my best doctor!

Beautiful to learn this ..presence is the essence of life at every point ..

Thank you Eckhart.

Realizing that I am not my thoughts - that I don't need to listen to them, that I can simply observe them - is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. My mind used to keep me miserable, worried, angry - every single day. After practicing Eckhart's teachings I now only feel that way sometimes, and even then I have a way out. I now realize that I create my own suffering, and that I can stop doing this any time I choose. I can accept this very moment as it is and stop producing needless suffering. The past has loads of regret, resentment. The future holds so much fear, worry. But Now everything is OK. And Now IS everything.

My mind is transforming with this practices. Small step at a time. From agile and uncontrolled to loose and disciplined. Thank you 🙏. This gives allot of peace in my life which was not there beforehand

Such a wonderful man Eckhart is! Thank you for everything!

I love Eckhart. Besides being knowledgeable and wise very wise, he cracks himself up with funny jokes. I’ve learned so much from him. You are an absolutely gift for this world and I’m glad we crossed paths! Blessings🙏🙏🙏

As I go about my day, I move into the divine realization that I am doing exactly what I need to be doing to reach and achieve my highest goals. I release any mind-chatter telling me I need to do anything different or better. I relax knowing I am divinely guided and inspired on this path. I am grateful that my life is changing course in a positive new direction. And I will use my intuition to take the next steps on this beautiful new path in my life to fully receive all the goodness I have earned with my karma and hard work.

One very unconcisnous person in the room is me...And i watching you and read the book since 2012... :) Thank you that you think about me like this...Becouse you are very Conscius person... 🤷🏽‍♂️

❤BE -YOU -TIFUL❤

Most difficult is it to be in contact with people when they carry a whole graveyard on their mind

grateful for teachings like this

being conscious that we have a choice in emotional situation is helpful to remain in presence

Wonderful..... beautiful....magnificent 👏🏼🔥❤️

HOW I needed THIS! Immensely grateful! 💓💓💓💓💓🙏

Energy is very Real

Amazing, purely clearly , thanks Eckhart ♥-

Your video helps me to live better life in present moment.

May Jesus bless you brother!

I can imagine normal people confused and distraught after one talk from Eckhart. I can feel myself as presence until I speak. Does anyone else feel like this?

"Be the awareness behind the sense perceptions"...

Have you seen the movie "12 angry men" ? There is one conscious person in the room an one inconscious person, they each try to sway the whole group to their stance. Just like Mr. Tolle says. Good movie too.

Be the anchor.

So caring human being may God bless you with more of wisdom..Thanks very much..

*The feeling of 'Presence', is "AWARENESS" but "SELF-AWARENESS" is to know "LIFE The Real Self" !* *To know the human entity, is NOT "SELF-AWARENESS" !*

Thank you 🌺

Thank you so very much!🌟🌹🌟

I Love Eckhart's teaching!!! Thank you... God Bless you!

Thank you Sir I am so grateful for you 💕

💖Such a wonderful man Eckhart is! Thank you for everything

Wonderful. Thank You for this insightful message. The part about not remaining in an unconscious environment resonates. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

Beautiful video 🤩

Thank you

-When you think you have a choice to be present, present is choosing to come through you -when you deal with unconscious people be the awareness behind the sense perception -sensing yourself as conscious presence -whatever it is youre doing and always a sense of yourself as the presence

I think my favorites parts of Eckhart's videos are when he pauses and when he chuckles; that makes me feel calmness and joy.

🙏🙏🙏Thanks so much for sharing it is very helpful 🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡🌻🌻🌻

Thank you 🙏

thank you

The simplicity of the way he explains is wonderful.

So Simple!

Choiceless awareness

Me encanta!! Leí su libro El poder del ahora y me abrió los ojos y crecí mucho en la parte espiritual,quisiera hacer una sugerencia si existe la posibilidad de que venga sustitución en español no puedo saber que dice,en sus videos y me gusta lo sigo,pero no se inglés 😭

Even the apparent choice to be present means that something was present before the arrival of the choice thought that arises. Even if we believe that we can make a conscious choice not to be present, Conciousness must be present first to announce "I am not present', which is obviously not our experience. You are That already, you can't become what you already are.

Ours is the only species that considers such matters. That makes us obsolete.

❤

That burp at 3:05 hahaha

I have Bipolar disorder with Paranoid Schizophrenia, I am finding it extremely difficult to be present.

💐 🌻 🌻 🌹 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏 Mr. Tolle!

Let's see ♥

Do you think that you can build presence while listening to music? I would also love to hear what some of Eckhart’s favorite songs are. :) thank you

Garvrilo Princip, here refered as unconscious person was not a unconscious person, he and many others as him were represed, and he decided to act ! That is not unconscious !

I just realized my ego is listening too 😂😂😂

❤️ly

Interesting.. my history teacher told us WW1 was ignited by the trains.. because of a time difference a train had to stand still for a while.

✨💚✨

That is what they are saying nowadays ...you are too conscious for this company,school ,hospital etc...so you get fired for not complying 🙃

Can you add Serbian subtitles to your videos? Thanks in advance🙏

Be aware if you suffer from low conciousness or if you suffer from having a lower consciouness then someone else And before the ones with higher conciousness came up on mind there was no Problem! A-men alias Archangel Michael alias God himself They want to make you a lower lifeform

Our species should not exist. Our footprint is simply too great to justify our presence here on this small planet. Whatever/whoever placed us here really dropped the ball.

I like Eckhard talking. But sometimes he turns his talking into fun and a joke. I find the very disconcerting

self serving thoughts are unnecessary in the present moment
