What Is the Essence of Every Human? | Eckhart Tolle Explains How We Are All Connected 

I am truly impressed with how effectively Eckhart responds to difficult questions that are asked of him in these forums. Without any foreknowledge of the question in this video, he was able to provide a comforting, meaningful answer to a gentleman who, by virtue of his question, may have lost a child. Truly remarkable.

" suddenly I could feel this deep peace underneath the sadness "

I hope someone will make a documentary for Netflix about Eckhart Tolle and his wise words very soon. This topic is very important, and I hope everyone around the world will learn to understand it! 🙏🏼

"THE MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE CANNOT BE CONTAINED IN WORDS" - HE NAILED IT.

This man is a gift to earth, from another realm of what can only be paradise, I’m 28 years old and his words expand my mind beyond words can explain. Clarity in a world full of confusion, mixed energy everywhere becomes very calm and relative when I listen to the words he speaks I hope where ever you are whoever reads this is doing ok and finding peace within as much as they possibly can Thanks to all in the comments for perspective and questions which continuously expand my own ever growing infinite consciousness 🙏🏽☀️♾️

Coincidently I attended a funeral today where a family I have known all my life buried they're mother. She was a wonderful woman of 70yrs and was adorned by everybody. The mass in her local church was beautiful and afterwards when everybody was in the graveyard saying they're final goodbyes a sunny Autumn rain shower had passed over us all and produced a spectacular rainbow as her coffin was being lowered into the ground. It was so heavenly and enlightened everybody who was there especially her loving family. Yes they were greiving but also celebrating her life at the same time. It was the most loveliest funeral I had ever witnessed and I was uplifted by the whole occasion. May the lovely kind woman rest in peace with her late husband.🕯️🙏🕯️

Thank you Eckhart Tolle, it’s amazing how your talks tend to show up just in the right time! I lost my partner of 30 years about a year ago, and slowly slowly I have come to realize just what you are talking about… The essence of a person will always be there, a very comforting thought. 🙏❤️

I did generally like this video, but I felt like a few things were maybe overlooked, as there is so much to cover with this whole subject. I loved the expression of spirituality around the subject of passing on, and the relation to God in this context, all very consistent with my senses and experience. On a practical level, the question was basically, how do we deal with the passing of loved ones in our lives, as in how do we cope and find peace with it? The spirituality aspect is certainly paramount, but on a practical level, I think it's important to remember that as much as we miss and mourn them, we are also loved by them in kind, on a level and in a way that we can't even conceive. If you want to believe in the spiritual presence projecting that love, or just feel the love that the person had for you in life, it is the same. Within that love is a knowing, an understanding about this life, and even your life in particular, that the value of life (including your own particular life) is truly beyond common understanding. Put simply, if someone who has passed could tell you one thing directly, it would be that life is for living. Within the love that person holds for you, is not only this knowing, but also an intention for all the best of life for you while you are here. The beauty of this existence, even in the small moments, and peace of mind and spirit in this life are what our loved ones want for us, as much as we would want it for them. So, when coping with a loss, do not focus on the tragedy and sadness of it beyond a certain point. Be free to hold the love, and let all the rest of it go, and simply live your best life. Realize that with impermanence we also gain specialness, in this life and in every moment. This moment and this life will pass, and even being indelible to God, our first hand experience of it only has this one chance. The subject of death and impermanence is likely the very most relevant to the core message of Mr. Tolle, that this moment is the grandest thing. The Power of Now is absolutely the first thing our passed loved ones would have us understand, and it is truly very deeply intended by them for us to move on and have peace and happiness beyond the life they lived on Earth. I hope some you who suffer loss can find peace and acceptance in this, and I am working on a book of my own to join the chorus in spreading this message. Please know that the upheaval we are seeing in the world today precedes a human evolution. We are becoming better, and the old ways of humanity are dying away in fits and thrashes. In dark times, I can promise you, the best is yet to come. Believe!

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in his book « le petit Prince » when the little prince meets the fox. The fox tells him : « we can only see well with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.» Thanks mister Tolle 💚🌞🌈🙏

I have listened to Eckhart Tolle for a long time on and off and in the 2000s there was a period I extensively listened to him and his audio books for around 5 years. I'm coming back to his wisdom again and it just gets more profound. He's got this way of expressing deep concepts very simply imo. This exposition and analogy of the sun and sunshine to God and consciousness is just exquisite. He's truly a blessing on earth 🌎 🙏 💖

While I was and am so blessed to pass the best years of my youth with spiritual teachers like Eckhart, I never imagined that death can be so close to me. One day I had a severe panic attack that my breath stared to fall short and my lower Jaw and hands got paralyzed. In the ambulance while they were carrying me to the hospital, there was a very brief moment that I felt my consciousness is getting fade away and I'm turning to a corpse, I only had the sense of life in my chest. at that very brief moment I saw the light of sun was touching the yellow leaves out of the glassy roof of the ambulance. When I saw that scene, the light of sun passing through golden leaves, I sensed a other type of light is passing through my corpse and whispering in my heart : I am who I am. Suddenly I felt the life is coming back in my body and paralysis is going away. I immensely comprehend when Eckhart says God emanates like light in this world. I feel this light in the aliveness of my body

Thank you, God, for this beautiful being that has illuminated the lives of many human beings. Eckhart, May God grant you many years of life. I pray for our souls

Eckhart is describing the same process I went through over 6 years ago when my partner passed away. Waves of grief, which I called ‘honoring’ my feelings, followed by an acceptance of what is. It took a while to work through that process, and I was depressed for at least the first 6 months, but I also knew my grief would not last because everything is impermanent. That knowledge comforted me and today I no longer feel any grief or bad feelings. It’s extremely liberating. If you are grieving a loved one, know that you too can find that peace. Don’t rush the process, let it play out, let your feelings out - recognize them and honor them! But don’t wallow in them either. This is what Eckhart calls making a story out of them. Watch them rise and watch them pass. Eventually they will subside for good, and you’ll be able to remember your loved one with a happy heart, rather than a heavy heart. Peace to you ❤

I held my best friend in my arms as he died. The loss has been the most difficult experience of my life. I Am holding on for surrender. I Am so hoping to feel his essence. I know others have lost too. I feel like i should be wearing a shirt that says "be gentle with me".

The love that I feel when listening to this man is unexplainable. I've been listening to and reading his words for several years now, and I always get the feeling that "everything will be ok". Thank you so much Eckhart!

He does spiritual teacher better than any I have encountered. His words ring true through the years I have followed him. Never heard him express anything that wasn’t genuine, honest, and rational. And his presentation is as solid and comforting as any I have seen.

THEY NEVER LEAVE US.....I ALWAYS FEEL THEIR PRESENCE ❤

It’s wonderful to know that there are others out here who are also searching and finding.

My grandmother and I were the best of friend's. I've never experienced since from another human being the closeness that we shared. So I am greatful so much for that true opportunity. Some said in a past life we were husband and wife. I'm fairly open-minded so I tend to lean into anything I could never understand. She visited me in my dream twice after she passed within the 10 year's it's been. And in the last year in a half she visited me a third time. When I saw her dead, I had the realization that all that was the beauty, and laughter, and strength, of her essence had moved on. She died Nov. Friday the 13th. For 7 day's straight it poured rain day and night. And then after that day her funeral was sunny. Everyone in the family gathered around she was a nurse a WAC in the army. So this man had a bugle, and it wouldn't work. So we all started to walk away, and then he said, "oh come on back, it's workong now.! We all started laughing, and I knew that was her signature sign to me. She looked at life in a fun way even through tough time's. She thought heaven was already here on earth. My love for her will never die only transcend. ❤

Thank you ❤❤ My husband died 7 months ago and this explanation was excellent and answered my questions. I appreciate the effort put out to help the one who suffers ❤

Thankyou Eckhardt for being there each morning 🐴

I am sad to know the meaning of life is not how I thought it was. I think I lost many years taking for granted all the things I could have appreciated. I did so much damage creating suffering for myself and those around me. I defended and fought for things that were illusions. I poisoned my body with negativity and judgment when I could have just enjoyed life... its scary to see all that I think I have is just in my head.. an attempt to build permanency for what I perceive is me. .. am scared...I hope I find the calm in the truth. Cuz it hit me like a bus... ooouuuucccchhhh.

Excellent discussion of grief and loss. Tolle is the best.

🙏 It's absolutely like that. I too felt that way after having had one loss after another. " I know " it's like that. A piece of advice I can give to those who have just lost someone they loved deeply is to tell them that it is the opportunity to find them again more deeply. These are not just words but it is the simple truth. They are HERE . THEY are in the love we felt for them, they are in the love they felt for us. THEY are in the love we feel for them NOW. This love will never fade away even when we ourselves go there. Focusing on this love which is real more than any reality. Give away the things they loved and take care of the ones you keep with you. Let their love live, don't suffocate it in despair. Cry as much as you like without shame you will always find a smile to comfort you. It was like that for me, it will be that for you❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨✨🌺✨💫✨

Wisdom in it's essence ☀️Thanks Eckhart, shining ray of God ☀️ ❤

Change is the only constant.

I love the way Eckhart used the words " to me it seems " when sharing his personal opinions and beliefs. This is Eckhart at his absolute best 🙏🙏🙏🙏

If only everyone could listen to Eckhart daily! He can explain the unexplainable in a meaningful way. This is how I always felt about wisdom, death and my connection with Source. I just needed someone, (Eckhart) to give the words to me. ✨🙏✨❣️

When I first went through my awakening, which included hearing voices. I was begging for someone to help me, I was struggling and no one could ever help me with the actual help I needed. For some reason, I knew my great grand father was with me. He told me to pray, so I prayed and the visions stopped. (The visions were like nightmares). Everytime the visions came he said “pray” so I prayed and everytime they stopped. This was 8 years ago. I’m not religious, I just believe in life itself. Iv never met my great grand father, he died many years ago. In August I went back to where he’s buried and found out he was deeply religious. I always thought in that time of struggle, he was just another voice. But 8 years later, I received the message needed. I connect to spirit now. Not a reader or ghost whisperer or anything, I can feel them. It came with my awakening. I feel there essence. Sometimes those that have passed stay with me for a while, some just briefly. But either way, I wish everyone would know that through the loss, through the pain of losing a loved one is another form of them, just not in the physical form. And the missing stops because they are there anytime you need them. Sometimes they hold you, sometimes they fill you with joy. Sometimes they just come in to say hey😘.

Attachment can be a slippery slope- the more attached you are to a person place or thing, without being conscious of the level of attachment, the more of an impact it will have when that thing is removed. I always think of the song by 38 special-“hold on loosely “

🙏✨ It's absolutely so. I have experienced it first hand in the workplace. I am very sensitive to the energies of others and if I hadn't had these teachings I don't know how it would have ended. 😢😂 As chance would have it (Consciusness would have it), I started listening to Tolle' teachings videos. To tell the truth, I didn't know who E. Tolle was, but I never stopped listening to the first one. Since then a whole series of events, unfortunately also dramatic events anyway not just dramatic events, have brought me to where I am now which is the best thing for myself. In this situation I can work more and better. I didn't do anything, I just followed the trail of events. It's not all roses and flowers, it can't be 😂 but if you are sincere in your soul, help always comes. From where and by whom it doesn't matter. Only universal consciousness exists.❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

nothing is more beautiful than Master Eckhart Tolle

Spot on. I have experienced divine oneness 🥰💙🙏. I can guarantee to everyone here, we do not die folks…we just exit the reality of physicality, back into the eternal realm 😊🙏

Mr Echkhart is a life saver.

Honest words about the unknown. Can’t say it any better……except silence!

Mystery of the universe can not be expressed in words ….. how beautiful ❤

I wonder if life would be as precious if it wasn't so fleeting I feel the worst pain comes from the times that we weren't present when someone we loved was still around

“God sleeps in stone, breathes in plants, dreams in animals, and awakens in man” - Vedic proverb

This was a very comforting message. Thank you, Eckhart.

Lord Jesus hear my prayers. Prayers are all I need. I’m losing hope but God restores my faith. These past three years have been difficult. At times I feel so alone especially as a single mom. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Both of my sons are autistic. I’m now homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. BUT I TRUST YOU LORD! I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to provide for my kids and I constantly struggle to buy groceries. I receive hate for sharing my testimony. My testimony is one of faith. No matter what we are facing God will give us strength to over come. Thankfully I have you Lord! I know I’m not alone. Faith over fear!

Whatever I experience is part of being human, billions of people have suffered loss, billions of people have felt it to be personal, we must embrace the personal as we would a child, see the thoughts , feel the pain, it is just our turn, it will pass as all things do, we will remember, that pain will quiet but be ever present, in my heart with the love of our joining.

One of Eckhart best speeches and videos. Thank you so much.

Gee, I just love you Eckhart 💞 you're amazing 👏 😘🙏💜🕊🌏💫🦘🇦🇺

I Love You Eckhart. ♥️🙏☮️

you summarized all religions with wonderful depth you just talk a pure true essence

When an insurance agent was trying to sell one of his products to me, he said, "When there is an eventuality, your family will get the benefits". It took a while for me to understand that he was referring to my 'death' as 'eventual'. How true !! Thank you, Eckhart, for those timeless pointers. 🙏

I always knew but... It's very very clear here he has truly attained and he is shining his light brightly. Thank you!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

This brought me peace.

Such a perfect explanation of reality and in less than 20 minutes. Amazing. ❤

As always there is so much to learn from you Eckhart!

Thanks Eckhart! As someone who has experienced a great amount of loss, surrender, acceptance, and a good support system has been helpful. After my mother passed away on this date 13 years ago, I came across Eckhart's teachings and it changed my life profoundly. So grateful for that! 💜🙏💜

This is absolutely and completely correct..... an absolutely brilliant man...

“Why is the ocean greater than all the streams, lakes, and river? It is greater for it lies lower than them.” This is important to understand before progress can be move forward.

Wow, beautiful wise and deep explanation to a tough question. Thank you Mr. Tolle.

I'd love to hear more about consciousness being the emanation of god 🙏🏻

Thank you Eckhart, a Most helpful talk. 🙏🏽

You're awesome and very wise in knowledge of the Truth about the True essence of God and how he manifest in us and everything in nature and animals throughout the universe as One. I Love how you illustrated it so well with the Sun rays, same as with our consciousness of God. I say a huge Amen to that 🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨

wonderful teaching, wonderful soul 🙏 ❤

Dreams seem real when you are in them... Proof that you are not the body.. If the body replaces each cell every 7 years ...( including the bones) So, how can we be the body? Because the body lives 8 times that long.... You are the Awareness of the body... You are the Eternal, unchanging Pure Awareness...

Thank you for this message Eckhart

THANK YOU ECKHART!

I knew the Buddha story slightly differently. The woman came to Buddha asking him to resurrect his son. The Buddha said no problem, he just needed a grain of rice from a family where no one had died.

Thank you master Ji

realization expressing itself

Multumesc !!!

Thank you for answering a long wondered question xx

Not comforting as such but give us the truth of our realty. Which I need to hear it over and over to help accept 🙏🏾

Была полна сметений, слушаю Толле и негатив растворился. Бдагодарю❤

The way you get over a loss is by grieving, not by stuffing it down, or muting it with drugs or even by meditating...you dive in. One day you'll wake up and realize you haven't thought about that person. You let go. That's what healthy people do.

❤ Eckhart's genius manifest's through his heart, mind, and body. To me, him and his wife Kim are very aware of how special life really is. And his wisdom bring's me back to what is truly important. In a world of consuming, yet there is for all of us moment's some more than other's (that are also aware) that we just feel how beautiful life is.
