No the Yoga and meditation masters are. This guy uses all the well worn spritual platitudes and makes millions from parroting them. What humanitarian projects is mister spritual involved in ???
Some scientists have hypothesize that at one point in our evolution, being aware of threats, and danger was very important, so those who were more conscious of those negative evaluations survived. Eventually, that kind of thinking got transferred from real, present dangers, to the status of the person in the tribe because, so much depended on cooperation among the group for survival. Some spiritual teachers will say that our longing for approval and depreciation by others is because our consciousness has chosen to identify with separation, and that longing for connection is actually a desire to have the awareness of our innate universality and safety returned to the forefront of our attention. but it’s likely this separate person has no control over this process; it’s simply unfolding at whatever pace it is.
GOOOOOOOOD GOLLY WAS YOUR DESCRIPTIVE EXPLANATION JUST THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE OUR OUTDATED MENTAL CONDITION THAT WE ARE TRANSFORMING/ UPGRADING INTO MORE HEALTHY HUMANS....I SOOOOO APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO TEACH US WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED ....HOW WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT MAKES TOTAL - UTTER- PERFECT SENSE.. Growing up in my original home was DEFINITELY BASED ON FITTING IN WITH THE GROUP AND SHUNNED ANY DIVERSITY....WOW!!!! WE BEND AND CONTORT OUR UNIQUELY SPECIAL SELF TO FIT IN SO WE AREN'T FROWNED AT OR CAST OUT OF THE SAFETY OF THAT TRIBE FOUNDATION...( THIS IS HOW WE DO AND THINK HERE)😮😮😮 @@oolala53
Schools have a different agenda, to create materialists to pay taxes to feed the government ( in a nutshell) WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SPREAD THIS LATEST GREATEST NEWS,,❤❤❤
I started realising this in my early 30s , when God was turning the greatest pain of my life to open me up and to awaken me.. I’m still learning to let go of negative thinking but consciously being aware of the thoughts and realising that these thoughts are not mine has helped me not to be controlled by these old patterns to a huge extent . Being aware is a huge blessing and I’m grateful for this awakening ❤
Trying to do this now.. Now is the time to switch off the pain of the feeling. thinking of past hurts and deaths of family emotional pain.. Cannot think about it anymore. Thank you so much Ekhart. Namaste 🙏
@@nuntana2 what your saying here is the beginning of the process, learning to focus on breath and meditation alongside mindfulness. If your still distracted and don't have a quite mind your not present or still. It comes with practice and it's a continual journey.
So...like now I feel pain as if a man is ignoriing me after he said he has to learn to manage his business with a woman in his life. He said let's call eachother more often. Again nothing silence for 3 days. Should I now just feel my pain is it old pain or is it old and present accumulated pain idk but I wajt to find a way to cope without suffering all evening. Rewriting reality is hard though.
He went east & became a Buddhist monk. Left & returned to teach his people in the west. He is a cloud that is formed over the sea & then drenches the people on land.
@@dbuck1964 YEP!! But that's all part of the OLD STINKIN THINKING CONDITIONING SO THAT WE CONFORM TO OUR ORIGINAL FAMILY & THEN KEEP STRUGGLING TO FIT IN TO SOCIETY'S RULES & STANDARDS. IT TAKES MUCHO PRACTICE TO STOP ALL THAT THINKING AND LIVE IN THIS NOW NOW NOW AND ACTUALLY LIVE OUR OWN LIVES AND NOT THE IMPOSED IDENTITY WE WERE SEEPED IN TO BELIEVE THROUGH REPETITION..OUR MINDS WILL BEGIN TO RUN A NEW SELF IDENTITY....❤❤❤
Meditation allows you to let go. Each moment is the only moment you have whether you are alone or in a relationship. When we think, we change the present moment into what we want while we are thinking. How each person thinks about the relationship will determine if it lasts. I have learned to think less without even meditating. I paint, write, walk, karate, etc., and enjoy each moment without making it into anything by thinking.
we create our realities by thinking. Every thought carries a certain level of energy. Energy creates things. So if you think positively then good things will happen. If you think negatively then bad things will happen
❤ WONDERFUL ADVICE.❤...since most of us hold onto our old painful thoughts, including grudges, etc... not knowing what to do with it, nor how to get rid of it, ....while others hold onto it, too scared to let go, and so live in the past.....holding them back....can't move forward. Stuck in the past!!.....the mistakes humans make...Very destructive to ourselves. ALL IN THE MIND. THE ALL POWERFUL MIND does exactly what we instruct it to do... .. subconsciously. So yes....LET GO, RELEASE.....and live a happier life. Difficult...but possible. Needs to be done sooner rather than later ❤😊
Yes! What we don’t usually realize is that many of us are drawn to negative thoughts, feelings, emotions that has caused us some type of undesired trauma in the form of betrayal, neglect, abuse, or abandonment and we’ve all experienced these things to some level or degree that has kept it alive within our subconscious mind, and many of us don’t even acknowledge that or the fact that we’ve become addicted or drawn toward these negative or undesired emotions/ feelings. It’s sad, but can be healed or released from this.
I had never heard of this man until my daughter loaned me one of his books. 💜 I proceeded on to his videos on RU-vid. Now, item number one on my bucket list - attend an Eckart Tolle seminar. And of course I will invite my daughter to join me.🌹
I can’t imagine my mother, who I’m not saying was a bad woman, would ever have been open to the ideas of this man. It would’ve been a dream come true to go to a retreat like this with her. Though actually, I think his retreats have become incredibly expensive.
@@KesarKitchen that I do not agree with. I have done a lot of meditation, and I have noticed the thinking quite often, but that does not stop it. It often stays quite persistent. I’ve gotten better at not trying to push the thoughts away and simply focusing attention somewhere else, but I usually need to do that over and over again in a meditative session.
I realized sometime ago that we as people are all doing the best we can to get through life, we make mistakes, in my case huge mistakes, not on purpose, but out of either ignorance or unconsciousness. Forgiveness has been a liberating force in my life. Letting go is like taking a huge backpack full of heavy rocks off your back, it not only feels better, lighter, but that energy was freed up to do other things like meet new friends, friends who needed a friend.
@@SuperstarSridhar mother nature kicks in! One day you'll love yourself enough to nurture the pain you're been through and heal. It's like a light switch turning off in your brain. Remember, the mind is so powerful. Like everything, it takes practice and self awareness. I still have to catch myself when I live too much inside my head! Hope this helps.
@@SuperstarSridhar It can take many years. I read Eckhart's book a decade ago. It took me ten years to let go of ego (awaken). Now, there is no emotional pain. Earlier, the emotional pain was always present. Arising of negative thoughts & negative emotions is extremely rare now. Buddha was right when he said suffering is optional. I still can't believe I did it. It's like when you are trying to ride a bicycle. You fall over & over again. Same happens here. Get up again & again. And one day you will be shocked that negativity of any sorts is not arising anymore.
Feeling is an information between motivation and a goal. If you got into a situation that caused you negative feelings or trauma and its still alive after months, it means somewhere in your experience is still some crucial information you haven't extracted yet and you really need to do it so you don't end up in the same miserable place next time. Cutting anything off is not a good idea. Your feelings are invaluable source of information if you know how to understand them. Also, feelings dont go away just because you dont think about them. They go away when they fulfill their purpose - after you understand them.
I think he is saying that feelings are fed by thoughts and when a feeling thought loop is generated and maintained by continuing those thoughts, the thing to do is to stop thinking those habitual hurtful thoughts. When we stop fueling the hurtful feeling fire with our repetitive thoughts this fire dies out. The feeling helps point to the thought and that is the message of the feeling. It helps identify the beliefs to which you cling. Identifying the beliefs is further useful formation to eventually extinguish the thoughts and beliefs that hurt you. When you fix your beliefs you can fix your thoughts, when you fizx your thoughts, you fix your feelings. To choose and discipline our thoughts is the journey of a lifetime and beyond. I wish for all of us the grace and endless endurance required to engage in that most vital labor.
I felt that!!! That's a form of healing from painful events that occurred in your life. It's hard to let go but soooo well worth it. He is On Point!!! One key in letting go is to ask yourself what purpose is this serving in my life.💕
this is so brilliantly clearly said, that the thinking, voice(s) in the head, along with the imagery "entertained" by the mind, this feeds the old feeling pain-body to create & re-create the mass of unnecessary/extra suffering, but once we notice what actually is going on, while it's going on, the awareness can cut the link, love this truth, thank you 💜🕯️
Do I have to keep saying jk to get your bros+bitches to stop being dicks back?! Or can u just eXplain my Humor Too their small hearted minds?! Not sure if it’s poss jw
Basically the goal is to not care or develop a sense of indifference toward whatever that painful experience or memory that your thinking about. There are so many triggers and reminders that caused us to reflect back on painful and also joyful experiences which can be intertwined with one another when there is loss, neglect, or separation from what you or who you loved and find yourself cut off from. The harder and deeper and more love you have to another(s), the harder and deeper the feeling of loss is. So you look at those more troubling memories with that person and feel regret and remorse and when you look at the more enjoyable memories and experiences with that person and no longer have that you also feel the same when you’re missing the person and dealing with the loss and wanting to reunite and regain those enjoyable and memorable experiences again
Feelings are very real and need to be respected. Our thinking can change our perspective and may change the feeling and certainly can change how we act on our feelings.
If you say the feeling of the sensations in the body need to be respected, I completely agree. The thought appearing needs to be respected for its existence, but not for the truth of its content, which is often not accurate, especially denigrations of our character.
He’s absolutely right. We worry & creat our own anxieties. Stop worrying, keep moving towards something purposeful & everything will always work out. This is key
Me too, even though I’ve heard this so many times. I was actually able to use something similar to thwart my compulsive over eating. I established what I thought was a reasonable eating plan to nourish myself well and also deliver some pleasure, and that any eating outside of that was coming from thought patterns that were not accurate. I won’t say that it was comfortable all the time, but I used to do things like eat a whole package of chocolate chip cookie dough or make a batch of chocolate buttercream frosting and eat the whole thing or eat a half a gallon of ice cream at time. I haven’t had any of those things in several years and honestly, I don’t care if I ever do again. I never thought I would feel that way, but there was just no real satisfaction in the experience, even after a while when I just ate small amounts. But my pattern of fear of loneliness and a sense injustice is way stronger. I’m glad I stumbled on this video to remind me about questioning the viability of anxious thinking doing me any good. But it does take a kind of trust in a level of uncertainty. and we actually have no guarantees that distressing situations are not going to arise, even seemingly from our own actions.
This is the explanation of one of the main Buddhist teaching : "pain is necessary, suffering is optional" When you are not aware of the link between your suffering and your thinking you keep nourishing your suffering without being aware of it.
Very very intelligent. Understand that thinking does not serve any purpose. Then leaving space for positive new good experiences. It does not matter, it does not exist.
It is not true that thinking is not useful. Certain kinds of thinking are not useful, normally the kind of narrative self commentary that can go on constantly, judging ones owns actions and those of others in a personal way, rather than impersonal which you might have to do in a job situation. This is not to say that there might be some kind of unconscious perception and wisdom, but a fair amount of that is eventually delivered to the conscious mind.
I don’t think impure is a useful term anymore because it can notes a sense of shame that is unwarranted since most thinking patterns do not actually originate from the individual. they must be someplace in Eckhart’s work where he talks about that.
Grieving a loved one or a time in our lives will come up from time to time, we are human. The secret is just not to stay there , feel it and leave it alone.
Yes its probably the best book I've ever read. I imagine if everyone read it we would be living in a much better world. That book brought 2 miracles into my life not long after reading it. 15 years later I've just started reading it again.
I started reading this book the untethered and this recent chapter opened up the idea of letting go. Cutting the link of what you’re feeling and thinking is such a helpful way of thinking about it
Yessss!!!! When you are positive, you create a positive life. Now, not that everything always goes according to plan. You have to be open, like a river cutting your own path. You can be rushing or slow moving for some relaxation. But just do not be completely still, that’s when mosquitoes are born and the water becomes stagnant. Always flow, always be open, and always carve your path! Remember you are amazing and everyday is a new day to make it the best possible!! ❤️❤️🫶🏻
That's the key, to be aware. Be present for those thought.. the moment you hold that long enough it'll take a walk, reach for the exit door-handle at its own will
It thinks that we learn along the way and that's to get rid of the negativity in our lives and negative people in our lives will be so much better off and so much happier. That's what it takes
@@nancy8219... perhaps not a lie but a slightly naive and maybe foolish? 🤔 For instance I personally think that feelings can be a really good indicator of your emotional state at that moment, so essentially I am completely agreeing with you (I just don't know if I would have used the word lie).
This is extremely helpful. How you inspire me to be the best version of myself and your voice is so calming/ reassuring. Sending you much love and blessings and a very big thank you, so grateful you are here ❤️
yes it’s this ! However you should replace this thought with a new positive one and better condition it with a good feeling ! and try todo it over and over ! it’s a short way to healing
