What Does It Feel Like to Awaken Spiritually? | Eckhart Tolle 

ditto Dan...it's amazing how that pain slides away when you see if for what it is. You explain it so well, thanks.

Very good explanation of none dualism, recently on my stages of looking 😊

It is amazing ! I love how when the thought “you have discovered this too late in your life when there is no future for you anymore” appeared, you spot that and recognized it as the mind trying to trick you again coming from the back door 😄 I relate to this as similar tricky patterns operate in me as well, but are recognized and cannot take control :) Also remember that there was never any future anyways… there is just now, thats is.

Suffering led me to surrendering which awakened an awareness within. 👑

@@michaeljlumpkinesquire so then we could say that those without suffering like we had will have a harder time to awaken. The more pain we have, the easier it is to awaken to reality. But narcissists are in pain too and they would have a harder time to awaken. Harder to see the forest for the trees for them than us. hmmm...guess i just told myself how to not judge them so much. cool.

t's natural to feel the way you do; being human means having emotions. If you're on a quest for deeper understanding, joining the Illuminatus can open doors to enlightenment and beyond. Despite its mystical aura, there are real paths you can take to become a member.

Certainly! , are you suggesting that it's realistically achievable to join? I've often thought it's only accessible to those from specific financial backgrounds.

Certainly, that's intentional; it's what they want you to believe.. Delving into the concept of Radiant Reservation will offer a more profound insight into the subject and open doors to exclusive groups.

That's absolutely amazing ! I deeply appreciate your suggestion. I've just researched RR and swiftly reached out.

They aren't a covert organization; instead, they function subtly, embracing those sincerely committed to improving humanity. Should you aspire to propel our species forward, they'll extend a welcoming hand, presenting wealth, influence, considerable impact, hidden knowledge on well-being, and most importantly, age-old wisdom unraveling the intricacies of global matters.

Know thy self. (Jesus Christ).

What did he mean by "outside"? Isn't everything we are aware of inside our minds? (Can we perceive anything if not with our senses and all signals that are interpreted in the brain? Can we in any way have any direct contact with the "outside"?)

Like everyone else, you need a great teacher................falun dafa

This quote by Carl Jung emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and introspection for gaining clarity and understanding. Let's break it down: 1. **"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."** - This part suggests that true clarity and insight come from introspection, understanding your own desires, values, and emotions. 2. **"Who looks outside, dreams."** - When you focus solely on external factors or what others are doing, your aspirations might remain as dreams or wishes without a deeper understanding of your own motivations. 3. **"Who looks inside, awakes."** - In contrast, by turning your attention inward, examining your thoughts, feelings, and motivations, you achieve a higher level of self-awareness and "awaken" to a clearer vision of your life's purpose and direction. In day-to-day life, this quote encourages individuals to engage in self-discovery, introspection, and mindfulness. It suggests that by understanding your own values and aspirations, you can make more informed decisions, set meaningful goals, and navigate life with greater purpose. It underscores the idea that true clarity comes from within, not just from external influences or societal expectations.

Nice to know that, Nika. Namaste 🙏

Thank you

But unless you find a righteous spiritual practice, you will have to come back here and remember it all over again and again............falun dafa

What you're describing is what we all do or experience anyway, at least some of the time. No spirituality required.

@@gribwitch I am not talking about every day life. If one just lives day to day, one eventually will find the body decayed, diseased and then death., followed by reincarnation. we all have been in this maze for thousands of years. Inevitable, but a righteous spiritual practice can break that cycle and show us how to return home to Heaven, not with death. Compared to Heaven, Earth is a sewer...............Falun Dafa ..........

😂

Sorry😢

True 👍🇬🇧

I would love to believe you 🙏

i feel like the grip of my ego is failing, whereas before it was like being possessed. & lately it is losing, the volume on it grows weaker as acceptance of what is, allowing what is to come and go, & Tolle has been there for me thru these teachings, he comes back again & again to these themes that are so vital, while other teachers offer shiny new flavors, Tolle is preparing food that nourishes the soul.

Lovely.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m also a tradesman and I really felt what you said😊

It is not polite to stare. Just kidding. Wisdom is only attained through suffering so I guess that you are stuck but don't worry heaven will not forget you.

Beautiful!

No one is worried lol

There is no one to work on themselves🤗🙏❤

I'm with ya friend all the way. I say "right here right now" because that song is so awesome. Gratitude, it's so important. Cheers to you.

Nicely put🙏😌

We are all a work in progress, and it's really good to share and celebrate our progress with each other 👍👍👍👍sharing makes everyone's journey that much easier and enjoyable ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing 🙏❤

Some of the most messed up people are now the most awakened. This makes me very optimistic. 😂😊

i can attest to that haha, so much pain and trauma that ive had to experience

@@joemusicman64😂

That’s what happened to Eckhart.

Jung said only suffering leads to a higher consciousness.

…and what a relief it is knowing you are not your mind. You are an immense, love, light being💜

Us hardship hits you. You needing Faith badly!

Awaking is not finite............................Falun Dafa

Who’s the “you” that had this realization?

This is still the dream-self acting and realizing.

I am listenning to the birds in south of Portugal. May we all live in peace.

Margarida-After shoveling hours of snow this winter. I will choose the birds in Portugal drinking a Margarita..

@@stevedamien638 I hope you will enjoy if it will ever happen.

Yes Nature can be a Doorway for Awakening 😲😲🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙏💜🙏 🌹

@@rosisunny9302 stop by 😜

Yes; & "...does not come with signs to be perceived." I love this!

Yes. And more than you may realize. From: LIFE AND TEACHING of the MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST, Baird Spalding, 1927. Revised 1964 This is the story of a three-and-one half year research into the teachings of the Great Masters of the Himalayas in 1894, of which Mr. Spalding was a member Vol 3, chapter V, page 47. Jesus explains that when each declares having Christ within, one must accept the fact that one IS the Christ, and IS God: “That one sees the higher body of himself vibrating at a higher rate than does his limited body, that he also sees. These which appear as two, are only an appearance because he does not believe that he is the Christ. Let him declare himself the Christ, and actually accept it as a fact. Let him declare that the Christ of God stands forth, and at that instant, he IS the Christ of God. He then must go forth, direct to God, the Father, and declare definitely, and know positively without fear, that he IS God.” Gospel of John 10:34 “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’ John 1:14 (NIV) “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (Neville Goddard says this is a mis-translation. Should be, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling within us.”. The creative power of the Universe dwells WITHIN us ) 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you.” Galatians 2:20-“It is Christ who lives in me” “I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; Luke 17:20-21 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."

@@mrgruffy4499 Yes, This!!! I work yo teach people, as I also remind myself, everyday! Thank you

@@mrgruffy4499 Awakening Just Helps You Get Out of Mental Illness It's not a scary mystical ritual but remember Only the right religion can save your soul [If you are a devout Christian You must fill you with the Holy Spirit Study the life of the Lord Jesus] If you are [Buddhist] or [Taoist] followers You will follow advanced wake-up instructions so as not to lose yourself [Religious rituals cannot be mixed] God does not redeem education other than biblical education

Mine comes in waves… I become unconscious and drift back into my mind.. forget who I really am… and thank goodness my spirit brings me back around again, each time I’m more conscious of my true self than I was the time before. So it must be meant to happen. Eventually I’ll be enlightened and the waves wont pull me into unconsciousness, but somewhere else. Everything in it’s time. I’m also those waves, growing myself spiritually at the exact right time and phase.

I used to think that to. But recently things changed and I realised it takes no effort or discipline at all. It doesn't even take meditation. You just need to see from before the "I"

It also requires a great teacher...............Falun Gong.

@@rosemadder5547 What is it you feel like when you "remember who you really are", Rose ? I don't know, because it hasn't happened to me.

I was just thinking that his words reminded me of the power of art, I mean beautiful art, not the dystopian or self- indulgent stuff they try to pass off as art today, but the beauty of art that Roger Scruton spoke about.

Exactly, when I do wood burning art I drown into that work that I dont realize time passes

Baby's first thought is mommy dearest. Quit guessing and get down to what you are truly here for, to seek the divine, falundafa.

For me, it doesn't even have to be my own baby. As a former EMT---I have been present with a patient at the moment of birth. Even though I never knew these people---the moment that baby finally emerged into the world and uttered it's first cry---I would tear up--every single time. There is something sacred about the timing of coming into the world--and the time of leaving the world. The great mystery of life.

A lot of us appreciate the beautiful things in life. But it doesn't mean we're all going to become spiritually inclined and rush home to meditate.

Actually, this is something Eckhart talked about. The mind can be silenced sometimes when you are confronted with IMMENSE beauty, and of course, that can be seeing your own child. :)

Well said ! 😁

@@claudiaarzillo1626 Thank you :D

Yes indeed Well said…

There is no 'you'

@@martingarreis it means that you see yourself as the source of all of your experiences, things don't happen to you, they happen from you.

The greatest teacher on earth is Master Li Hongzhi.

We’re all wonderful students

I have that too, I sometimes have an overwelming, a very deep feeling of faith, totally game changing. They call it cryes of serenity. I'm really aware of comedy playing of manipulative people, feeling lonely seeing this. I still have ego and anxiety coming back but my body is so much in need of me getting to rest and deepening that and I try to please it. I think I know I'm not my thoughts, but I think it's going to be deeper and I can feel my essence. I feel more and more the inside of my body I felt my heart beating for a few days, that was so beautiful^^ I think you had sort of total mindfulness, it happened to me in my home, like a change of dimension. I wanted it to never stop. I can't imagine when you expérience it in nature. How amazing^^

Mee too the grass, trees and the sky felt so inside me and so bright.❤

i experience " excessive self conscious " often - mine is rather strange - i feel a strong awareness of myself as if i'm witnessing another self of me - and then i can't be alone -

Maybe, you have only taken a baby step on a very arduous path, falundafa.

Don't forget People like you are treasures to humankind too!

“I’d like to meet him.” Me too! Let’s visualize meeting him at an odd place. Like the men’s restroom of a Planet Fitness.

In its own way it is different… I had an awakening experience and a long time trusted friend who channeled Michael channeled a message that at that particular moment my “aura” went from 3 feet to expanding 3 miles out. Affecting everyone within that area. Michael said that the energy field of Jesus expanding 30 miles. Again, raising the frequency of those in the area by whatever degree was possible for them

@@tammylewis9324 Sorry, who's Michael...?

His teachings are just a start on the arduous road to wisdom.............Falun Dafa

God's Divine Blessing, we should all be seeking the Divine and quit being silly fun seekers.........Falun Dafa

The only reason that we are here is to seek the Divine. Nothing to do at all with purposes, inner or outer, Falun Dafa

It didn't happen to "YOU"... That's is the last illusion you may need to realize because there is no "You"🤗❤🙏

Me too, when I had mine I didn't believe in God, knew nothing about spirituality or what an awakening was. I think about it every day. There was a whole world out.there I knew nothing about and even though I know everything happens for a reason and we're exactly where we're supposed to be I wish it would've happened yrs ago. My only problem is idk one person, personally, who is awake.

@@lizzettorres1111 there is no person🤗🙏

@@ozgursenturk11-11 Yes, here in this illusion we are. It's the only planet where we have the veil of forgetfulness to learn through physical pain and experience food, working... it's the best place for the soul's evolution but in reality you're right we are infinite souls. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely not saying I know but at this stage on my path it's my understanding along with a few more. 💜🔆

@Bamboo You haven't experienced it yet so iyour comment is understandable, believe me I would've felt the same way but you don't hv to be rude to people you don't know it's shows you're fearful.

God works His wonders in mysterious ways................Falun Dafa

Wow so very true, super true what you saying

Awakening is not finite..................falundafa

So what. The real problem is how to become awakened spiritually and first of all we need a great teacher, Falun Dafa.

Don't worry about what others think from this moment on after reading what I just said, worrying about what other things suppresses you and forces you not to do what you came here to do.

Don't run from it embrace it

In happiness and in sadness, know we are all with you in God.

Consciousness balancing existence???????? Consciousness is simply your soul when it is awake, falundafa.

Yes and it gives us a deep feeling and sense of such Love that I want to stay in that moment forever. I want to let go of all material possessions and just have that Love forever💕💜💜💜

How long it take you? Months, years? How long do you meditate (minutes/day) to have reached that point?

@@moondive4ever I've been meditating for 50 years now. I do sitting meditation for about 30 minutes per day (I used to sitting meditation for 2 hours/day for the first decade), & also try to stay in a meditative state while walking, driving, etc. The important thing is breath awareness.

@@SatMatt7 So how many years or months then do you believe for you, you awakened and can access your higher self.

@@moondive4ever It was gradual, although I had profound moments all along the way. I still have moments where I get distracted, but more & more, calm in-the-nowness has become the norm. In-breath, 'so', out- breath, 'hum'.

I feel very blessed to have gotten here through that path. I doubt I would have found Eckhart otherwise. Amazing. ❤

I ordered his video from Blockbuster or Netflix years ago. When it came in I turned it out and was turned off really quickly! Who is this little guy sounding so pompous!! Two weeks or so later I my scalp was burned bleaching my hair. The doc gave me painkillers and antibiotics. The second film of his came in (I had originally ordered 2,) and I put it in doubtful. 3 years later I was running a meditation group in my livingroom that later landed at a meditation center as it grew. That was 2015 and the group is still growing strong. Sometimes we need a nudge from the universe before we can take things in. I’m now hooked on Buddhism and will likely never bleach or dye my hair again 😝

They aren’t clear at first in my opinion but they are making more and more sense and connecting deeper and deeper everytime

AMEN!!May I ask what year? My AWAKENING was completely Christ driven in 17' after something catastrophic.

Was it a partial awakening almost ? Like it was just a glimpse ?

Rotting fish, skunks, a garbage dump? Yang needs yin. falun dafa

​​@@jeffforsythe9514 there's no such a thing as ying and yang, opposites created by thinking

@@Phantom-ez4zv first of all it is yin and yang and a cute answer is yes and know. you are hot and cold, you are right and wrong, you are smart and dumb, you are wrong.

@@jeffforsythe9514 for every is there isn't, this is the play of opposites, as you reach truth theres only one. The play of opposite is just play...

@@Phantom-ez4zv To reach those higher levels is only possible with the help of a great spiritual master..............Falun Dafa, no arguing please, check it out or don't, your choice.

@@happydays3678 Thank you very much for the encouragement.

hahaha i love this had a good laugh too!

I had the experience of something talking to me. Mostly gibberish it went on & on. I just ignored it & didn't take what it said seriously. It's been years & still it occasionally happens. I just consider an unlikely companion. I know it isn't me.

I feel sorry you experienced that. Greetings from Trier and best wishes

🙏

We need more light from the Sun, POWER, GIVE ME MORE POWER.

Uh nope, emptiness is the absence of light, how can you experience peace into darkness? The only way is to die completely, death of your own egotistical ideas and rebirth of a new self. Accept the light of the Sun, accept CO2 instead of oxygen, awaken to Sun's light and you can pass through it's gate into heaven.

Yeah, that's a common difficulty. Just try not to label it in your head as "I'm present now". Be present without naming.

Sweet...lovely to share with others ❤🙏
