The Power Of Not Knowing | Eckhart Teachings 

😂👍🙏

I agree whole heartedly! I love having access to Eckhart’s wisdom on a daily basis. He has transformed my life. 🙏

❤️ what a true and lovely comment ❤️ love it

LOL! This is so good!! 😂👍🏼 Plus, the irony of it: with that kind of humour, you don't need Eckhart's teachings at all... ;)

Hahahahha love it ❤️🙏🏽

Definitely! That's something I always feel as well

Beautiful analogy😊

I don't know how I will be able to pay my rent on December 3rd. Im trying to keep hope alive and watching eckhart for inspiration. Hope everything works out

It doesn't have to be brief

For your ego, my ego is the fact i identify with what im not.

I absolutely agree with you! For some people it’s so hard to say I don’t know or understand, I do not have that problem and I try to search for the answers.

The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived; Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears. When you abide as that in which it appears instead of identifying; nothing has a grip on you; if anything comes; it quickly goes; like clouds passing; only if you identify as a cloud then it will appear as if the cloud is here for longer than it is originally supposed to; if you simply rest as the awareness and do not identify; it will quickly dissolve; be unconditional love by being aware of being aware; this is the highest; this is what you are seeking in absolutely everything else; you are seeking yourself; you are seeking unconditional love; but you are looking outside of yourself; instead of being aware that you already are unconditional love. Love love

That's one of the things that bugs me about politicians. They never say "I don't know". Instead they pretend like they know while saying a load of words that completely avoids the question. It's hilarious and very annoying at the same time.

@@sandragustafsson3125 It is... but in essence it is a defense mechanism. It helps me to feel a bit of compassion for them to see it from that angle

@@TheDhammaHub Maybe...but at the same time, they have been trained to do that. I'm a bit involved in politics myself, and there are entire courses dedicated to teach politicians to avoid answering questions. So...I feel no sympathy for our kind.

Yes..but why do we resist so much? Knowing give you the illusion that you have the control??

His chuckle is so sweet

Eckhart likes to explains things in a way that us simple minded folk can undersstand

Eckhart does not mean the "not knowing" of ignorance but rather the "not knowing" of the beginner's mind as it's called in Zen.

@@onreact exactly(:

You are dead wrong, you should read the book of not knowing by Peter Ralston. Not Knowing is the most significant thing to be misunderstood

@Psycedelic_Actualization "The tao belongs neither to knowing nor not knowing.' Assuming that to be true; how does he know that?

I am grateful to you Eckhart, for being my teacher.

How inspiring, thsnk you and god bless you and all 1❤ 1🌎

@@joeyondakeys Thank you so much for your kind words. We agree with you that attachment to the past or to anything else can result in disappointment and stress. Embracing change is fun and enlightening. Learning new things and meeting new people keeps us young and vibrant.

Unio Brainwave, Thank you for taking the time to share love. Same to you. Be blessed and stay awesome. Namasté 🙏

Desiderata GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. By Max Ehrmann © 1927 Original text

That is so very nice of u!

Thank you ❤️ Bless you my friend 🙏🏽

@@YaTut169 thank you 🌹

@@YaTut169 While your comment is true in general it's not always helpful to copy and paste it below very different comments as if it was a direct response.

@ThatOneGirl If it were up to the world to make us happy, we would be waiting a long time 🤣🤣

I feel it. So grateful for this human Being.... he has been such a wonderful force to help the world awaken. SO Grateful this morning and every day for Eckhart!

"You" is an illusion and can not love someone else because there is no one else except you🙏❤🙏

Not a legend. He's alive and true.

@@onreact Living legends exist too my friend. In fact they never die

@@UniversalCrystals It was a pun. Legend is ambiguous.

Wise words Ariana ❤️🙏

For myself once I became awoken I just wanted more and more. My spiritual teacher told me to slow down and just live in the moment .

Boom! What hv u tried to let go in ur life so far?

And we are always jumping timelines, just try to keep your focus on what you really want and you will create it. For myself keeping myself focused can be a great difficulty.

@@cindyfitzgerald4500 what’s YOUR biggest challenge right now?

@@MindNow i feel that I’m stuck in a rut. I know so much but still don’t remember a lot except parts of a past life. I have great difficulty meditating and keeping my thoughts on positive thoughts. Thank You for asking, any advice you can give would be appreciated greatly!

@@cindyfitzgerald4500 meditation isn’t about ALWAYS having positive thoughts Cindy. First of all, u need to know what kind of meditation u want to do and for which purpose? After that I can assist u further (at least I try my best since I’m NOT a guru)

Amen

Igualmente! 💗
