That's not really true. I had the dog of a lifetime. He was so strong and muscular, but extremely gentle ( A gorgeous Boxer). Yes, those are all expressions of his spirit (animals have spirits, that's better than "consciousness") but our spirits are expressed through our bodies.
@@Quintessentguy I agree--although I think both are true. Yes, I loved the spirit of my animal--I could see her soul in her eyes. But I also Miss the good smell and feel of her silky fur, her antics, physically playing with her, feeling her warm body cuddled up next to mine---or just looking at how gorgeous she was. I use "her" as an example--but it's true of all the her/him animals that have blessed my life over the years. They are all beloved, treasured--each and every one.
14:16 wow, this part really just hit home for me. I lost my cat after 20 years together and yes… when I saw his body in my arms… it was crazy how still he was. And it was crazy how he was physically there but wasn’t anymore. And so I understand, that it’s his consciousness that I connected to and loved. Which makes him literally invisible. So deep.
I lost my beloved cat also 6 months ago. She was so sick and in pain we had to euthanize her. I was there with her whole time. But it was really hard to see her actually gone. When doctor said heart stopped it broke mine too. I miss her so much.
I know. My 2 cats had to go to sleep within 4 days of each other, but they were 17 so not unexpected, still, I felt it when burying them both - and how at the same time there is a knowing that the body is not what we really related to. I am thankful now for having had them for so long and what a difference they made to my life which I wouldn't have otherwise experienced.
@@mirela2608 It is this pain which opens up the greater consciousness. We think we know transforms into "we know we think". "That which is cat" is also eternal....
Hi Eckhart. I was introduced to my soul when I was 12 after a horrific event when I realized my thoughts were not me, because I became the observer of my thoughts. So that was always with me, that realization. Life changing. And again I was strongly reminded when I was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and again my soul came to my physical being to bring me peace. I was looking in the mirror at myself with no hair, no eyelashes, no eyebrows, and my skin color was bad, and I had lost a lot of weight, and there was my voice saying, boy you don't look so good, you might not make it, but if you don't, it will be OK. But it was my higher concious being observing my physical being in the mirror like one would look at something of interest to be studied. It was very powerful. Why is it that traumatic events trigger this revelation for some people.. I assume it's not just me.
I've had this experience as well, going through cancer treatment. It was as though I was watching a movie of my life from the outside. I felt curiosity, but not fear. I could see fear bubbling up sometimes, but it felt like a trick of my mind and I didn't believe in it. The fear of death had no real power. I actually felt more at peace than I ever have. All of the worries I'd had about my life just dissolved, they had no hold over me anymore. I could see they weren't real. I also felt the deepest gratitude I've ever felt for the beauty of each moment of being alive on this earth. It was a very profound and sacred thing to experience, while also being the most physically challenging time of my life. It's been interesting to see what happens as I recover and feel healthy again. My mind is trying to pull me back into old patterns of unconsciousness, grasping again to the form of the world and the worries of being in it. I hope I can let go of those outdated, deeply grooved mental tendencies and strengthen the new pathways that don't believe in these illusory fears, and live however long I have left in the current of peace.
My wife who passed identified with form. I don’t. I hope our heart connection keeps us together here and now until we can ascend together through the heavenly realms forever
You could be in for a surprise. If she died before you she served your addictions and she lost her immune system because of it, or she attracted an accident? So if the Soul family and the bloodline family of a human walking on earth come to an agreement to help that soul in hellish condition, they pull the plug on us. They can even make us Suicidal. So getting to know us who we really are only happens after we can recognise our higher self that is asking for everything we are attracting in life.
@@mutualink yes. We Are In Divine Consciousness (Christ Consciousness) Now, when we lift “out of” human consciousness. Heaven is here now, if you can swing it. And my Beloved is forever part of of our Divine Consciousness. Just the thought of her , and my heart chakra explodes with warmth and Love. Heaven on Earth🕊
@@jondavid968 yes,at least two of us agree on this.Let us join in our thoughts and spirit and see this new world heaven on earth arisen in our global consciousness!
So thankful we get to experience him in our lifetime! AND so thankful he's been recorded so that future people may experience his teachings! So rare! Rare, because once enlightened that will be your last time being reincarnated to this world! (Why there aren't many masters) So thankful he lived during our lifetime! Many thanks and many blessings dear Eckhart... ❤
I’ve read several books and watched many videos about reincarnation. This makes the most sense. If you identify with form, you get more form. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is the only topic I feel stil and entirely comfortable since whenever sombedy starts to speak about the so called life after the death I think nothink... /sorry for my poor English/. Thanks to Eckhart he made me free from sufferings.
When it comes to the loss of a loved one, I experience it differently. Pure consciousness is allways there, it's the same in everything, it is not born, it does not die, it can't get lost. This is not what I miss. Because it is still there in everything. I miss the behaviour, the intimate connection, the trust, the love to and from this special and unique body-mind.
Don't you think that we aren't actually individuals at all? That it is an illusion? I think I'm like a probe sent out by a greater ship, and when my battery runs out the main ship still remains and that's where I was being controlled from all along. And the greater ship is eternal. We are not separate, it's all one thing, we are an illusion.
@@forestsunset9617 Yes, that's what I know to be true, too. But there is also this human dimension, thats what "we" are here for, to experience separation, binding and connection and all what comes along with it.
I agree. Having just lost my husband at only 62, it’s his physical being I miss. I miss holding his hand and laughing with him. These are not still there in ‘consciousness’ because I can’t see ‘him’ or touch him 😢
@@forestsunset9617 Yes that's true. But there is also undeniable this illusionary very dense bodyly and emotional dimension. I think ultimately this one consciousness is here to experience itself in all it's possibilities.
'What you love in the other person is the consciousness in them looking back at you' and the mention that we reincarnate as we identify with things, gave me insights. Thank you Eckhart as always.
Life has no beginning nor an end. You cannot escape from this moment, EVER. This everlasting moment, everything that is and ever will be is this moment NOW. Its simple as that. You cannot cease to exist. Thank you Eckhart for The Power of Now, which change my life so much. peace to all
@@direfranchement What makes no sense? that you live in this moment now? Are you familiar with Echarts work? It's common sense really, why you think that you can exist out of this moment? Lets say even if you could, you would still exist in this moment xd
The dog thing made me think about how they are cloning dogs in Korea, and this guy wanted his dog to be cloned, and he got the same dog, that looked the same, but it did not act like the previous dog, it got its own consciousness, soul, or what ever you want to call it.
During my 20s and 30s I was a bundle of emotions, unwilling to accept death of the personal self. Through meditation I was contacted by a formless entity. It was a male and there seemed to be many other entities with him (I oould hear voices in the background). He spoke (this entity) and said expliciitly, "you can not enter the other worlds." I then thought to myself, why? And he answered, "you are not ready to enter the other worlds because you have too many emotional problems." For many years I did not quite grasp his message until reading A New Earth. It all makes sense now. All the voices, dreams, visions and out-of-body experiences was the formless I helping the human me break the cycle of rebirth. I read a lot trying to understand those formless messages. Thank you Tolle! I understand my purpose in this life is to help my loved ones and others break the cycle of pain and sufferring so they may also enter the formless dimension when they leave life on Earth. I think I am ready to tell my story.
Always loved the humour that Eckhart brings to his teachings his wisdom shines through as a knowing. That in itself is a reassurance that we need only listen to that wisdom in order to connect.
That seems more definition, and semantics. The body we have here is considered "living", but existence is obviously not going to stop because this body dies. Now the issue comes to the term "living". Living is subordinate to existing.
@Javad Ghasemi Well , like what I said, "existence" is the overriding concept. Life is defined by biological matter. Do you need to be "living" to exist?
Thank you for this as I saw the closest person in my life pass tragically right in front of me 6 months ago. A big tree hit her and she died instantly. I stayed with her until I met someone on the trail. I realized "later" that what I was looking at alone on that trail that day was her body and that the spirit, energy and very essence of her had passed out of her body. Kathy lived with Adrian in West Vancouver and they were good friends. They lived in house on the water above the marina and she said she had met you when you lived in Adrian's rental. Small world. I know Kathy is in a much better place than us and this gives me peace. I will never understand what I saw on that trail that day but I will walk forward with her in memory and connection.

whatever happens I want to be able to find and be with my loved ones in the afterlife. I want to be able to interact with their souls. I love life! I would love to reincarnate again...I just want it to be in good circumstances. This life even in its hard and sad moments has been BEAUTIFUL! Im so grateful for all 47 years (in this lifetime). Thank you Divine/God.
@Jesus Bermudez You still believe in " the devil"!? In his book "A Course in Miracles" Jesus says," The only devil is the idea that you are separate from God." I guess all Jesus's are not the same.
When my sweet cat passed away. It was extremely devastating. But it's true... when she was gone, she was gone and it was just her body. It was bizarre.
There is a possiblity that your dog will reconnect with you in a future live..possibly as a human. Sentient pets have the possiblity to upgrade to human in future existence.
I really dont want to come back. But the Soul and the personality are two different things. The Soul needs to come back to experience. The personality sees this life as hard. I’m grateful to be on the spiritual path as it can make sense of the senseless. Even though it’s hard it can be exciting too as the thought of awakening and transforming is pretty awesome. Eckhart you are genius 😇😇😇
I cannot recall any specific memories of past lives, but I've known since very young that I've been here many times before. I'm a Pisces and have always had a propensity towards spirituality as opposed to religion. I believe in the luminescent Nazarene, as Einstein, referred to Him, and believe reincarnation is what He meant when He said [lest ye be born again]. I sincerely hope I'm on my last cycle, at 66, and relatively good health, I find myself waiting for an end that always seems too far away.
Hearing Eckhart talk about Cats and dogs as pets ; I've had many cats as pets and l have noticed when their time comes and they die their facial expression changes. I don't mean pain. The expression that the cat [always] had in life is suddenly gone.The body remains (for a time) but the spirit or consciousness has gone. I've experienced this with people also. It's a sad moment but all you can do is hope they have progressed to a better place.
This happened to me. My Dad died in 2004. My 2 children married in 2010 and gave us 3 grandchildren. My daughter give me a necklace with the first letter of each grandchild’s name. Brian, Edward, Nora. I put the necklace on the table and saw that these first letters spelled my Dad’s name : BEN. This was not planned and we were all shocked. But we all remembered that after he died the kitchen doors opened and closed, the light by his bed went and off. My Mom, who believed everyone “ went to sleep til the resurrection” saw him twice.
That's incredible, thanks for sharing! My dad died in 2004 as well. There were thunderstorms all day and it was dark outside. After he was declared dead, his lips gradually turned upwards into a smile. The clouds were suddenly gone and it was full sunshine. The nurses and hospital staff all noticed it. For weeks afterwards, we would hear footsteps in the kitchen when no one was in there and the sound of dishes touching. He loved to cook. For his funeral, I gave a family friend a $20 bill to pick something up last minute. A week later when I was walking up the driveway, a $20 bill tumbles on the wind and lands in front of my shoe. A picture fell off the living room table on it's own and the back of the frame popped off. On the back of the picture was an "I Love You" note that my dad wrote to my mom. Just so many things for it to be just coincidences!
It is quite brave to talk about this topic, even for a master. It's a field of traps. Traps can be build unintentional, traps can be triggered by small misunderstandings. After ending identification with form there will be identification with the observer. After that there will be identification with observing or consciousness. But finally there is nothing to identify with.
My art teacher used to remind us pupils about the importance of the' empty' to be brought out within a work of art. She said:' The empty definisce and gives way to the inner artistic messagge'. If we focus on the 'empty', on the all defining 0 like in maths, or the nothingness in philosophy, there is a fair possibility of experiencing a fresco fullness
Crazy Ass Good Eckhart! Nearing the end of life, thinking about the concept of Death is so mysterious You made it less so because you shined your light on it: --Death is a transition. Either a transition is from form to formless, or a transition from form to another form. Not much else can be said. Gratitude that your form has allowed this truth widespread dissemination
I absolutely love you Eckhart! Whenever my mind is not at peace I’ve only to listen to you and the realisation comes back that all is well. Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. Thank you so much for all your wonderful teachings! You are a true blessing to us all!! 🥰
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. That which is real in him is beyond form. The important thing is that all is well. Nothing real dies. 🦋🦋🦋🐞🐞🐌🐌 Thanks Eckhart. 9 December 2022.🌷🌷🌷🌲🌲🌲🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹
My son passed unexpectedly on the date you posted. He was only 34. He was a loving and compassionate soul, full of life and adventure, with a wonderful sense of humor, and a love of music and nature. We were so close, all it took was a glance to know what the other was thinking which usually brought laughter to a situation. Oh, how much I miss him! I needed to see this message tonight to remind me of the fact nothing is ever lost. He is still with me, here in my heart. ❤🙏😇
@@pixiepinkcrystalsrosetta7027 Your son lives forever. It is One Consciousness. You and your son are forever connected in consciousness. 💖 4 March 2023.
Matter can neither be created or destroyed but it can change in form .The scientific advances in quantum mechanics can possibly explain the concept of our spirit
My husband passed away two years ago. I still feel he’s with me much of the time because on the level of thought, he communicates with me. Many times giving me encouragement and even a couple of times helping find something I needed. So, has his consciousness chosen to be near me?
Spiritual people talk of a light and people come for us at the end, while scientific people say this sensation is the result of a chemical in our brain being released to make dying easier. Let's just for a moment say science is right, then whatever the reason we exist in the first place must have put the chemical there so that right at the end of this wonderful experience we don't suffer, Again if science is right then this would surely mean the reason for there being everything rather than nothing at all, must be both conscious and compassionate beyond our current capabilities of understanding and must love and care about us ALL that they want our passing to be as peaceful as possible for us. Regardless if we accept a spiritual or scientific explanation I personally am very happy, full of trust and so extremely grateful for absolutely everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Science is almost never right. As many doctors will tell you--much of what they learned in medical school has to be thrown out 5-10 years later, as new information comes along. Same with physicists. Look what's happened to all the previous theories. Science is always evolving--it's not black and white, they are still trying to figure things out. Since they get so much wrong about the material world--they have no business speaking on the subjects like metaphysics, or the supernatural. To think they can offer us anything of value on those subjects would be the height of arrogance.
I don't think we die, because we aren't really separate from everything. I think there is a infinite consciousness that everything belongs to and we are an expression of it looking back at itself. Even when we die the consciousness that spawned us is still there. At that is who we are. Fragments of a whole.
I really do appreciate his approach to attempting to explain the inexplicable. He seems very genuine, and this is the first time I've listened to him speak and explain what he BELIEVES to be the essence of the spirit. My only point of contention is where he says we must disconnect from the ego in order to find who we are. The rub for me is that in our incarnate form, we are obligated to deal, on a daily basis, with all things that require us to wrestle with out egos, i.e., jobs, taking care of family needs, mortgages, etc. There is an incumbent amount of ego that goes hand in hand with our spirits being inserted into a this flesh and blood vessel we live in temporarily. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding about his disconnection from ego, but disconnecting to the point that one then neglects the obligations one has to one's family and such, doesn't seem like a viable move, or at the very least, a move that would lead to even more suffering,...suffering that would extend to the very people one has dedicated ones self to. I think that any suppositions about death/life after death are experiences that we learn about from people who had NDE's and returned to tell their story. In essence, you have a person who DID NOT DIE telling stories about the afterlife. Many of the stories have a multitude of common elements; love, light, understanding, etc, but they are still stories being relayed to us by people who DID NOT DIE. Perhaps they are only relaying visions that are common to the human brain during NEAR death experiences. I've yet to hear an account given by someone who actually completed the process of death in totality. Nor has anyone else. Dunno,....please help me understand. Reply
The more I hear this guy the more I love his consciousness - yes, he is pleasant to behold as a living form, and his voice and accent are also attractive but it is his essence that is so alluring. I say this because I always feel glad at having encountered his presence. And my gladness at encountering his presence makes me feel glad at encountering my own presence. It makes me happy and there is no other need in my life than to be happy being me. And when all living beings attain this state of absolute happiness there will never be a cause for conflict ever again. The time will certainly come, but in the meantime we have to work our way through all this the best way we can. Even so, there is not one of us that cannot do this. Be assured of that, no matter how much you may be suffering right now, for nothing is constant - all is changing.
You articulate what I already know somewhere deep down inside. You remind me, but oh the struggle to live in reality minute by minute...and to be patient with my wandering self.
Thanks, Mr. Tolle. I think some people who say that they dont want to incarnate anymore dont want to incarnate on this planet anymore and I understand that.
Dear Eckhart, You were saying, that the memories do not belong to the material mind, that they are part of our consciousness. But why is possible, that the people can lose their memory, especially when they injure their head? They can forget completely their identity. What gives us or refuses to give us the access to this memory field also including the past lifes? I know, You will not probably answer me here in the comments, but there are many people writting the comments, so maybe someone can explain me? With greatest regards Tomas
The brain is the hardware--the mind is the software. All the memories are in the mind/consciousness, (software) and are never lost. However, when the physical BRAIN is damaged--the memories cannot be recalled through the damaged hardware. Once free of the damaged brain (as in death) all the memories are there for accessing.
He said it so well about different incarnations everyday. It's about finding a flatline/base in spirit. Doesn't mean to be boring...just aware in the energy,and know how to maneuver that energy ~~~~~>💓°•○☆💕
I am experiencing right now everyday a strange situation. Everyday I receive an information which says to me that my mission on this planet is over. I have experienced everything which I should experience. And now everyday i open my eyes i feel total emptiness and my life here is total meaningless. And I don't know what to do anymore. It feels like the movie Groundhog Day everyday is the same and nothing great is happening anymore. It's like I can't identify with this life on this planet anymore. And I don't know what to do with these feelings and these thoughts. Has anybody ever experienced the same situation everyday? Sorry for my English i am German.
You don't die if you know yourself!! You as a small thinking person and your whole world is inside your consciousness!! Reincarnation, life and death has no meaning when the consciousness knows itself and remain firmly established in itself!! Know that this is the truth!! Knowing it means liberation!! Knowing it you remain fearless!!
A very rich listening experience on life, death and the essence of that which is real - or what we love in someone who has left their body. In my opinion, Eckhart Tolle’s current life or incarnation is devoted to helping humanity evolve and I am grateful for that. You can draw as much as you like from his deep well of spiritual wisdom. ✨🙏🏽💗
I agree. And Eckhart's difficult early years prepared the platform for his present consciousness/wisdom. Often one needs to lose one's way in order to find or identify it. I believe that most of the global population still lacks the capacity (and therefore the desire) to draw from Tolle's deep well of spiritual wisdom--it simply doesn't resonate with most people.
@@writerforlifeify I know when I first started listening to ET after Oprah introduced him to the world, I was attentive because I felt he was imparting important knowledge. Sometimes I would listen to some things 2 or 3 times to help absorb an idea, but I have realized that my uptake is much swifter now without the need to unravel and repeat. Lucky for us, we ‘get him’ :-)
@@SavoirFlair I feel that we ALL know what Tolle is talking about; it's nothing new...however in most peeps this info is buried so deeply, they can't access it let alone articulate insights such as those he shares. Just try engaging the average person in ET discussions & you see their eyes glaze over, their minds tune out, an inner door shuts....but the one on the precipice of understanding lights up, eager for more, hungry for confirmation (in words) of what already resonates with them intuitively. Everyone's consciousness ripens at a different pace; each of us is at a particular point in our relationship to our (inner) Self. You'd be surprised at how many peeps respond with FEAR when you so much as hint at cultivating a capacity to live your life on your own terms, thinking for yourself, rejecting social scripts for living, aligning with your own Truth. I was 24 years old the first time I encountered a person (a 45-yr old woman enrolled as a mature student) in my university class---who was sooo upset when the prof gave us 'carte blanche' to choose our own essay topics--she wanted to be told exactly what to write about & how. The freedom to choose frightened & angered her! I was shocked as I am accustomed to claiming all manner of liberties in my life....without breaking laws, haha.
According to Upanishads/Sanatana Dharma, it's the fourth purushartha which is what, every being is aspiring . That is Moksha/liberation. The other three are dharma, artha, kama all of which make rebirth possible for the sake of moksha. So yes moksha is the thing to aspire for or rather our original nature is already moksha, the conciouness was /is /will never bound. It's always liberated. Identification with body and mind due to ignorance is the problem.
I can Sense that I've done this Experience Before and sense that this is Enough Experiencing and Experimenting for Consciousness and Although I had a Happy Childhood in the very early year's than began the Suffering that it Will Never be thr Samebagain anyway and I just Done, Content and Grateful, but definitely Done...God Bless All on Your Journey 🙏 Namaste 🙏 Ohm, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Ohm..
I feel that they are in me. One day I came across a piece of jazz music that my mom loved and played at home a lot. In that moment a strange thing happened. I didn't feel close to my mom, I felt like I WAS my mom. Never forgot that.
I am not fearful of death. But I cannot imagine anything more wondrous than the experience of human life on this most beautiful of all planets, the planet Earth. I would choose it all over again even if offered nirvana or heaven. When we grieve over the body of a dead pet or family member, we can perceive that the soul is eternal and does not die, but that death is very real for those of us left behind.
I would never want to repeat this life, but I have to accept that I have a long way to go. I definitely lose myself as awareness. I guess it's a process.
"It's Only After We've Lost Everything That We're Free to Do Anything." Tyler Durden. If we would happen to really understand what this profane quote means, we would realize that mostly everything in life we used to be identified with, or which we deemed to be relevant and substantial, is just an illusory construct, which mainly serves to emphasize our need to let go and to explore our true essence of consciousness, we would start to smile and feel joy in a way which never was experienced in our whole existence as a physical being..
Yes I would want to go through my child hood again. I was a True Self. Always playing , climbing trees digging in the dirt. Swimming. Collecting salamanders and so much more. It was a blast
Reincarnation, if real, would be the absolute worst thing that could happen to you. You forget everything, all of those you loved are now gone as if they never existed in the first place and then have to redo it all. Relearn everything and if you happen to be in an abusive family, well you're stuck in it at least for a while. I don't know why reincarnation is something as seen as normal to some or the ultimate reward after leading a life full of good values in some cultures: "Oh you lived a good life, very nice! Your reward is to start over 👍" It's not a reward it's a freakin hellish loop.
The soul is eternal. It's energy and it doesn't die. In this life, we are in these human meat suits that do expire. But, we move on as a soul. Reincarnation is absolutely true. We have had numerous lives, here on earth and beyond.
Sad that we have to go through and suffer endless reincarnation cycles before awakening. Good that Eckhart teaches us a relatively simple way to achieve enlightenment - NOW. What is the percentage of population is truly enlightened? More rare than lottery winners? Well, there are still hundred of millions of gamblers believing that they will be one of the winners in "FUTURE"! Thank you Eckhart.
What is essential is always invisible; love is invisible; in fact our senses are so limited that most of all that surrounds us we cannot see...The essence of US will always exist; immortal!
I lost my beloved dad last September 💔 it is still difficult to comprehend that he is gone. I wish I can know if he okay now after all his suffering, and does he still retain his memory that he was my dad? Love you papi
Your dad isn’t gone, he’s in a different dimension now and it hard to communicate with us in this low dimension, his consciousness will form a part of the consciousness of the universe but he’ll be watching over you as there’s a special connection to thier loved ones ❤️
ISOLATED/ SEPARATE CONSCIOUSNESS ( or the illusion of such) is what creates the sense of individual self or ego.The impression that you exist somewhere in your body or in your head as opposed to existing in someone else's body or head is what gives us that sense of individuality. We are further defined by our MEMORIES which are unique to us. Unless BOTH of those attributes continue to exist after death then we cant really say we - as an individual ego or personality -survive.
I was once told by Lady Padina Cole of the Erasmus Foundation that I was an "Ancient" and that rather surprised me because in those days I was pretty much a party boy
I was the sky and I was the sea, I was the wind and I was the tree, this is why I know that I was, that I am and that through the atoms of my body, I will always be. Michel Di Sclafani
Expansion has my curiosity peaked. There's so much more than meets the eye or even 'I' as it were. Death holds little angst for me, since it seems an ongoing process. Understanding the vastness of life, my senses are engaged, therefore, at least in this present moment, I'm in wonder and awe of the now and the unknown. In this state of awareness and appreciation I'd like to continue. Perhaps I'm what some may call a young soul or maybe I'm just awakening to the joys form experience has in store. Remembering my plea as a child that there has to be more to life than this, perhaps I'm finally beginning to know myself outside of the conditioning and programming of how my life has been and now I'm feeling/sensing there's more.
What you are already is at home and never left home. It is a shift of perspective you are already very familiar with: awakening from a dream. While dreaming you identify with a body/mind but once awake you realize that perspective was wrong. You were not a body/mind but the whole dream, all of it as in any dream. Now try to apply that very same change of perspective in the dream called life. Watch and investigate the resistance of your dream-self to my suggestion because, hey! Life is real! Is it? Or is it just a belief as in any dream? Investigate and discover. The truth will set you free.
Leonardo da Vinci said " the greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions " Plato shared with us the wisdom he learnt from Egypt, wisdom that was a death sentence in Greece, Rome (Christianity)...Pythagoras, Socrates and later Hypatia of Alexandria. Plato in his dialogue "The Republic " tells the parable of " The Cave" in this parable Plato starts by telling us of prisoners being held in a underground den, let us examine this den via the geometry of Bernhard Riemann and Felix Klein...Klein bottle...3rd and 4th dimensions. Plato tells us that the prisoners are bound up unable to move their heads, let us examine this bondage via the psychology of Erich Fromm...socialisation of consciousness...aware-unaware. Plato tells us that the prisoners mistake shadows for substance, let us examine this mistake via the philosophy of Thales, Hume and Kant...synthetic a priori judgement...not thing in itself. Plato tells us that one of the prisoners is released, let us examine this release via the wisdom of T Lobsang Rampa...stilling the mind and consciousness astral travel...leaving the cave. Believe nothing that you cannot prove by personal experience. And you will escape from this world of babble.
9:01 You reincarnate with complete identification to thought and emotions, you are reincarnating into form, meaning losing awareness of awareness. You reincarnate multiple times a day everytime you lose your awareness.
Humble prostrations Eckhart Sir. Presently iam going thru great crisis. I want to experience God... the Consciousness behind me. i want to go more deep in practising presence... free from mind. But iam in big threat from my own elder brother... Black magic...Alcohol addict. He is trying his best to lock me in jail. i dont have support from friends, parents or relatives... am helpless. Seeking your Grace and blessings. I ve heard that.. " a Person who has realised God is God Himself " . like Sree Ramana Maharshi or Jesus Christ can You kindly save me from this danger... this obstacle... so that i can continue my spiritual practice...? Om
Pray. Pray to GOD in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m not saying this as a religious person but as a spiritual person. Prayer really does work. It’s this prayer on RUclips by this bald dark skinned African guy. It’s called Prayer to cancel the evil plan of the enemy. It works. GOD is real and Jesus is real. I don’t know everything but I know prayer works when u pray to Jesus and GOD. Wishing u well
One day I was shaving and getting ready for work. I looked into the mirror and said with insight and realization "I am not this body." My oldest son was shocked when I told him it would be okay if I died. This was during the pandemic. Now I am not as ready to die because my wife of 65 years has cognitive issues because of covid, and I need to be here to help her through this. Do I wish to reincarnate? No, but I would agree to if it meant helping someone else to achieve enlightenment. I'm not saying I am enlightened, but that's what it might take for me to have that option as a choice. 🤔
That was a great overview on the topic. Tldw: everyday you have the choice to be reincarnated with the figures of form. Are you identifying with your life situation and surroundings and urges? If you find you still are, that it's okay but you will still be identified with form
Unfortunately the sensory realm in this life for myself has been very lacking or unsatisfactory. To compensate, I have attempted to improve the life experiences of others. That has been quite satisfying.
Hoping that Eckhart answers this. I have always believed that since our hearts and brains have electricity present, and energy cannot be destroyed, that energy or matter etc has to transcend to some place. It seems like a miracle for that energy to find itself at a hospital as a child is born. Or if the soul enters at the point of actual conception, I've wondered these things for quite some time
I can't pretend to know, but it seems to me that energy blends into energy as a constant supply to be used by the conscious for continuous use. I don't see anything about our authentic self entering into a false reality but our attention falling into a dream state.
I don’t think I would want to do life all over again. It’s too hard and stressful. I’d like to just be at peace and rest well.
But then you wouldn't be able to touch me with your comment on RUclips. That warms me to continue . You see i'm like you but more so.
I hope for oblivion. The same place I am under anesthesia.
I can relate to that 100%
Never give up...whatever the things come and go , observe it and let it go..none of it affect you when you control your mind..mind is key factor.
@@Ragesh.Szr86 Yeah, it's nice. But have you seen conor mcgregor spar a middleweight?
"Everytime you idenitify with a thought or emotion, you reincarnate into that." WOW!!!!! Losing awareness of yourself as awareness itself. WOW!!!
" You love the consciousness in the dog. That's what you love in the dog."

That's not really true. I had the dog of a lifetime. He was so strong and muscular, but extremely gentle ( A gorgeous Boxer). Yes, those are all expressions of his spirit (animals have spirits, that's better than "consciousness") but our spirits are expressed through our bodies.
@@Quintessentguy I agree--although I think both are true. Yes, I loved the spirit of my animal--I could see her soul in her eyes. But I also Miss the good smell and feel of her silky fur, her antics, physically playing with her, feeling her warm body cuddled up next to mine---or just looking at how gorgeous she was. I use "her" as an example--but it's true of all the her/him animals that have blessed my life over the years. They are all beloved, treasured--each and every one.

14:16 wow, this part really just hit home for me. I lost my cat after 20 years together and yes… when I saw his body in my arms… it was crazy how still he was. And it was crazy how he was physically there but wasn’t anymore.
And so I understand, that it’s his consciousness that I connected to and loved. Which makes him literally invisible. So deep.
I just lost 2 of my cats. So painful. I listened and listened again to understand. Now i feel less painful. Thank you.
I lost my beloved cat also 6 months ago. She was so sick and in pain we had to euthanize her. I was there with her whole time. But it was really hard to see her actually gone. When doctor said heart stopped it broke mine too. I miss her so much.
I know. My 2 cats had to go to sleep within 4 days of each other, but they were 17 so not unexpected, still, I felt it when burying them both - and how at the same time there is a knowing that the body is not what we really related to. I am thankful now for having had them for so long and what a difference they made to my life which I wouldn't have otherwise experienced.
@@mirela2608 It is this pain which opens up the greater consciousness. We think we know transforms into "we know we think".
"That which is cat" is also eternal....
@@bigfletch8 thank you so much for your beautiful reply and reminder of eternal.❤️
Hi Eckhart. I was introduced to my soul when I was 12 after a horrific event when I realized my thoughts were not me, because I became the observer of my thoughts. So that was always with me, that realization. Life changing. And again I was strongly reminded when I was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and again my soul came to my physical being to bring me peace. I was looking in the mirror at myself with no hair, no eyelashes, no eyebrows, and my skin color was bad, and I had lost a lot of weight, and there was my voice saying, boy you don't look so good, you might not make it, but if you don't, it will be OK. But it was my higher concious being observing my physical being in the mirror like one would look at something of interest to be studied. It was very powerful. Why is it that traumatic events trigger this revelation for some people.. I assume it's not just me.
God bless mate.
Hope you are well now
@@Artemushka1 Yes, thanks. I am doing GREAT!!! When they say every day is a gift, that's for real. :)
@@jwilkens5710 yes, no doubt, be well!
I've had this experience as well, going through cancer treatment. It was as though I was watching a movie of my life from the outside. I felt curiosity, but not fear. I could see fear bubbling up sometimes, but it felt like a trick of my mind and I didn't believe in it. The fear of death had no real power. I actually felt more at peace than I ever have. All of the worries I'd had about my life just dissolved, they had no hold over me anymore. I could see they weren't real. I also felt the deepest gratitude I've ever felt for the beauty of each moment of being alive on this earth. It was a very profound and sacred thing to experience, while also being the most physically challenging time of my life. It's been interesting to see what happens as I recover and feel healthy again. My mind is trying to pull me back into old patterns of unconsciousness, grasping again to the form of the world and the worries of being in it. I hope I can let go of those outdated, deeply grooved mental tendencies and strengthen the new pathways that don't believe in these illusory fears, and live however long I have left in the current of peace.
"Live in a realm we can not even conceive of." This hits home.
My wife who passed identified with form. I don’t. I hope our heart connection keeps us together here and now until we can ascend together through the heavenly realms forever
We are spirit.We take on forms to experience life on earth.We go back to where we come from with enriched experience.
You could be in for a surprise. If she died before you she served your addictions and she lost her immune system because of it, or she attracted an accident? So if the Soul family and the bloodline family of a human walking on earth come to an agreement to help that soul in hellish condition, they pull the plug on us. They can even make us Suicidal. So getting to know us who we really are only happens after we can recognise our higher self that is asking for everything we are attracting in life.
@@mutualink yes. We Are In Divine Consciousness (Christ Consciousness) Now, when we lift “out of” human consciousness. Heaven is here now, if you can swing it. And my Beloved is forever part of of our Divine Consciousness. Just the thought of her , and my heart chakra explodes with warmth and Love.
Heaven on Earth🕊
@@jondavid968 yes,at least two of us agree on this.Let us join in our thoughts and spirit and see this new world heaven on earth arisen in our global consciousness!
Sounds like you believe in form
So thankful we get to experience him in our lifetime! AND so thankful he's been recorded so that future people may experience his teachings!
So rare! Rare, because once enlightened that will be your last time being reincarnated to this world! (Why there aren't many masters) So thankful he lived during our lifetime!
Many thanks and many blessings dear Eckhart... ❤
I’ve read several books and watched many videos about reincarnation. This makes the most sense. If you identify with form, you get more form. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is the only topic I feel stil and entirely comfortable since whenever sombedy starts to speak about the so called life after the death I think nothink... /sorry for my poor English/. Thanks to Eckhart he made me free from sufferings.
I love the calmness and peace in his voice! xo Thank you Eckhart Tolle for sharing your knowledge with the world.
I love the way he is so absolutely sure of what he says
When it comes to the loss of a loved one, I experience it differently.
Pure consciousness is allways there, it's the same in everything, it is not born, it does not die, it can't get lost.
This is not what I miss. Because it is still there in everything.
I miss the behaviour, the intimate connection, the trust, the love to and from this special and unique body-mind.
Don't you think that we aren't actually individuals at all? That it is an illusion? I think I'm like a probe sent out by a greater ship, and when my battery runs out the main ship still remains and that's where I was being controlled from all along. And the greater ship is eternal. We are not separate, it's all one thing, we are an illusion.
@@forestsunset9617 Yes, that's what I know to be true, too.
But there is also this human dimension, thats what "we" are here for, to experience separation, binding and connection and all what comes along with it.
truth @@forestsunset9617
I agree. Having just lost my husband at only 62, it’s his physical being I miss. I miss holding his hand and laughing with him. These are not still there in ‘consciousness’ because I can’t see ‘him’ or touch him 😢
@@forestsunset9617
Yes that's true.
But there is also undeniable this illusionary very dense bodyly and emotional dimension.
I think ultimately this one consciousness is here to experience itself in all it's possibilities.
'What you love in the other person is the consciousness in them looking back at you' and the mention that we reincarnate as we identify with things, gave me insights. Thank you Eckhart as always.
Life has no beginning nor an end. You cannot escape from this moment, EVER. This everlasting moment, everything that is and ever will be is this moment NOW. Its simple as that. You cannot cease to exist. Thank you Eckhart for The Power of Now, which change my life so much. peace to all
That makes no sense whatsoever.
@@direfranchement What makes no sense? that you live in this moment now? Are you familiar with Echarts work? It's common sense really, why you think that you can exist out of this moment? Lets say even if you could, you would still exist in this moment xd

@@CAdams6398 Yes, but sadly the majority of people don't know this. We need to wake up!

The dog thing made me think about how they are cloning dogs in Korea, and this guy wanted his dog to be cloned, and he got the same dog, that looked the same, but it did not act like the previous dog, it got its own consciousness, soul, or what ever you want to call it.
During my 20s and 30s I was a bundle of emotions, unwilling to accept death of the personal self. Through meditation I was contacted by a formless entity. It was a male and there seemed to be many other entities with him (I oould hear voices in the background). He spoke (this entity) and said expliciitly, "you can not enter the other worlds." I then thought to myself, why? And he answered, "you are not ready to enter the other worlds because you have too many emotional problems." For many years I did not quite grasp his message until reading A New Earth. It all makes sense now. All the voices, dreams, visions and out-of-body experiences was the formless I helping the human me break the cycle of rebirth. I read a lot trying to understand those formless messages. Thank you Tolle! I understand my purpose in this life is to help my loved ones and others break the cycle of pain and sufferring so they may also enter the formless dimension when they leave life on Earth. I think I am ready to tell my story.
Love Father with all your heart in order to enter his realm. Love Father with all your heart and stay in Fathers realm.
Always loved the humour that Eckhart brings to his teachings his wisdom shines through as a knowing. That in itself is a reassurance that we need only listen to that wisdom in order to connect.
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive and awake before death🙏
remember to forget, forget to remember
That seems more definition, and semantics. The body we have here is considered "living", but existence is obviously not going to stop because this body dies. Now the issue comes to the term "living". Living is subordinate to existing.
@Javad Ghasemi Well , like what I said, "existence" is the overriding concept. Life is defined by biological matter. Do you need to be "living" to exist?
Actually yes. But there is life after death. Just check the massive amounf of nde testimonies online.
very good point ja
Thank you for this as I saw the closest person in my life pass tragically right in front of me 6 months ago. A big tree hit her and she died instantly. I stayed with her until I met someone on the trail. I realized "later" that what I was looking at alone on that trail that day was her body and that the spirit, energy and very essence of her had passed out of her body.
Kathy lived with Adrian in West Vancouver and they were good friends. They lived in house on the water above the marina and she said she had met you when you lived in Adrian's rental. Small world. I know Kathy is in a much better place than us and this gives me peace. I will never understand what I saw on that trail that day but I will walk forward with her in memory and connection.

whatever happens I want to be able to find and be with my loved ones in the afterlife. I want to be able to interact with their souls. I love life! I would love to reincarnate again...I just want it to be in good circumstances. This life even in its hard and sad moments has been BEAUTIFUL! Im so grateful for all 47 years (in this lifetime). Thank you Divine/God.
You are God's gift to us all in 21st century Eckhart! Thank you! B
One of so many of God's gifts!
@Jesus Bermudez You still believe in " the devil"!? In his book "A Course in Miracles" Jesus says," The only devil is the idea that you are separate from God." I guess all Jesus's are not the same.
He iis NOT. Well, not the God of Moses or any of the Apostles. He is a tool being used by the devil to deceive you and many others smh
When my sweet cat passed away. It was extremely devastating. But it's true... when she was gone, she was gone and it was just her body. It was bizarre.
Thank you, Eckhart. I recently said goodbye to my dog, and this really helped. I cannot thank you enough. Love, and peace!
Check the thousands of nde testimonies online and if that ia not enough fhe research . You will see your dog again. Bless you.
There is a possiblity that your dog will reconnect with you in a future live..possibly as a human. Sentient pets have the possiblity to upgrade to human in future existence.
@@simpernchong is it really an upgrade??? 🙂
I really dont want to come back. But the Soul and the personality are two different things. The Soul needs to come back to experience. The personality sees this life as hard. I’m grateful to be on the spiritual path as it can make sense of the senseless. Even though it’s hard it can be exciting too as the thought of awakening and transforming is pretty awesome. Eckhart you are genius 😇😇😇
I cannot recall any specific memories of past lives, but I've known since very young that I've been here many times before. I'm a Pisces and have always had a propensity towards spirituality as opposed to religion. I believe in the luminescent Nazarene, as Einstein, referred to Him, and believe reincarnation is what He meant when He said [lest ye be born again]. I sincerely hope I'm on my last cycle, at 66, and relatively good health, I find myself waiting for an end that always seems too far away.
Do you want to dive back into the abyss?
You've no memories of past lives, yet you 'know' you've been here before. That is contradictory, and nonsense.
😢Did He not mean by ‘born again’ that we should be awakened spiritually?
@@hryall4569 that's a rude comment
i just can't stop listening to you talking... thank you for sharing the truth...
After studying and practicing for a long time now I finally am ready to truly understand this.
We often think of spiritual masters as long ago and far away. This teacher is here, and now in our lifetime.
Hearing Eckhart talk about Cats and dogs as pets ; I've had many cats as pets and l have noticed when their time comes and they die their facial expression changes. I don't mean pain. The expression that the cat [always] had in life is suddenly gone.The body remains (for a time) but the spirit or consciousness has gone. I've experienced this with people also. It's a sad moment but all you can do is hope they have progressed to a better place.
This happened to me. My Dad died in 2004. My 2 children married in 2010 and gave us 3 grandchildren. My daughter give me a necklace with the first letter of each grandchild’s name. Brian, Edward, Nora. I put the necklace on the table and saw that these first letters spelled my Dad’s name : BEN. This was not planned and we were all shocked. But we all remembered that after he died the kitchen doors opened and closed, the light by his bed went and off. My Mom, who believed everyone “ went to sleep til the resurrection” saw him twice.
That's incredible, thanks for sharing! My dad died in 2004 as well. There were thunderstorms all day and it was dark outside. After he was declared dead, his lips gradually turned upwards into a smile. The clouds were suddenly gone and it was full sunshine. The nurses and hospital staff all noticed it. For weeks afterwards, we would hear footsteps in the kitchen when no one was in there and the sound of dishes touching. He loved to cook. For his funeral, I gave a family friend a $20 bill to pick something up last minute. A week later when I was walking up the driveway, a $20 bill tumbles on the wind and lands in front of my shoe. A picture fell off the living room table on it's own and the back of the frame popped off. On the back of the picture was an "I Love You" note that my dad wrote to my mom. Just so many things for it to be just coincidences!

Thankyou Dear Eckhart 💗🙏💗
It is quite brave to talk about this topic, even for a master. It's a field of traps. Traps can be build unintentional, traps can be triggered by small misunderstandings. After ending identification with form there will be identification with the observer. After that there will be identification with observing or consciousness. But finally there is nothing to identify with.
My art teacher used to remind us pupils about the importance of the' empty' to be brought out within a work of art. She said:' The empty definisce and gives way to the inner artistic messagge'. If we focus on the 'empty', on the all defining 0 like in maths, or the nothingness in philosophy, there is a fair possibility of experiencing a fresco fullness
I simply live my life to the fullest and whatever happens after that does not concern me.
How much energy ! To tell and teach what you can to help people is beyond words ! So beautiful ❤ .
Thank You ❤
Crazy Ass Good Eckhart!
Nearing the end of life, thinking about the concept of Death is so mysterious
You made it less so because you shined your light on it: --Death is a transition. Either a transition is from form to formless, or a transition from form to another form.
Not much else can be said.
Gratitude that your form has allowed this truth widespread dissemination
I absolutely love you Eckhart! Whenever my mind is not at peace I’ve only to listen to you and the realisation comes back that all is well. Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. Thank you so much for all your wonderful teachings! You are a true blessing to us all!! 🥰
I agree with everything you articulate so very well, Ekhart. Thank you.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
That which is real in him is beyond form.
The important thing is that all is well.
Nothing real dies.

My son passed unexpectedly on the date you posted. He was only 34. He was a loving and compassionate soul, full of life and adventure, with a wonderful sense of humor, and a love of music and nature. We were so close, all it took was a glance to know what the other was thinking which usually brought laughter to a situation. Oh, how much I miss him! I needed to see this message tonight to remind me of the fact nothing is ever lost. He is still with me, here in my heart. ❤🙏😇

Matter can neither be created or destroyed but it can change in form .The scientific advances in quantum mechanics can possibly explain the concept of our spirit
WE NEED MORE OF YOU IN THIS EARTH ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My husband passed away two years ago. I still feel he’s with me much of the time because on the level of thought, he communicates with me. Many times giving me encouragement and even a couple of times helping find something I needed. So, has his consciousness chosen to be near me?
He comes to you when you call him
Spiritual people talk of a light and people come for us at the end, while scientific people say this sensation is the result of a chemical in our brain being released to make dying easier. Let's just for a moment say science is right, then whatever the reason we exist in the first place must have put the chemical there so that right at the end of this wonderful experience we don't suffer, Again if science is right then this would surely mean the reason for there being everything rather than nothing at all, must be both conscious and compassionate beyond our current capabilities of understanding and must love and care about us ALL that they want our passing to be as peaceful as possible for us. Regardless if we accept a spiritual or scientific explanation I personally am very happy, full of trust and so extremely grateful for absolutely everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Science is almost never right. As many doctors will tell you--much of what they learned in medical school has to be thrown out 5-10 years later, as new information comes along.
Same with physicists. Look what's happened to all the previous theories. Science is always evolving--it's not black and white, they are still trying to figure things out. Since they get so much wrong about the material world--they have no business speaking on the subjects like metaphysics, or the supernatural. To think they can offer us anything of value on those subjects would be the height of arrogance.
@@dragonfly9209 you cant really believe this?
But what about the people that experience Hell during an NDE??
I don't think we die, because we aren't really separate from everything. I think there is a infinite consciousness that everything belongs to and we are an expression of it looking back at itself. Even when we die the consciousness that spawned us is still there. At that is who we are. Fragments of a whole.
I really do appreciate his approach to attempting to explain the inexplicable. He seems very genuine, and this is the first time I've listened to him speak and explain what he BELIEVES to be the essence of the spirit. My only point of contention is where he says we must disconnect from the ego in order to find who we are. The rub for me is that in our incarnate form, we are obligated to deal, on a daily basis, with all things that require us to wrestle with out egos, i.e., jobs, taking care of family needs, mortgages, etc. There is an incumbent amount of ego that goes hand in hand with our spirits being inserted into a this flesh and blood vessel we live in temporarily. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding about his disconnection from ego, but disconnecting to the point that one then neglects the obligations one has to one's family and such, doesn't seem like a viable move, or at the very least, a move that would lead to even more suffering,...suffering that would extend to the very people one has dedicated ones self to. I think that any suppositions about death/life after death are experiences that we learn about from people who had NDE's and returned to tell their story. In essence, you have a person who DID NOT DIE telling stories about the afterlife. Many of the stories have a multitude of common elements; love, light, understanding, etc, but they are still stories being relayed to us by people who DID NOT DIE. Perhaps they are only relaying visions that are common to the human brain during NEAR death experiences. I've yet to hear an account given by someone who actually completed the process of death in totality. Nor has anyone else. Dunno,....please help me understand.

Such a good guy.. his end is coming, as with all of us.Thank you ET for all you have done for us. Enjoy your bliss.
What are you talking about? Whose end is coming?
The more I hear this guy the more I love his consciousness - yes, he is pleasant to behold as a living form, and his voice and accent are also attractive but it is his essence that is so alluring. I say this because I always feel glad at having encountered his presence. And my gladness at encountering his presence makes me feel glad at encountering my own presence. It makes me happy and there is no other need in my life than to be happy being me. And when all living beings attain this state of absolute happiness there will never be a cause for conflict ever again. The time will certainly come, but in the meantime we have to work our way through all this the best way we can. Even so, there is not one of us that cannot do this. Be assured of that, no matter how much you may be suffering right now, for nothing is constant - all is changing.
Thank you. This is exactly what the Bahai Faith teaches regarding life after death and reincarnation 🕊
You articulate what I already know somewhere deep down inside. You remind me,
but oh the struggle to live in reality minute by minute...and to be patient with my wandering self.
I got a lot out of this video. Very profound. Thank you!
beautiful, he is the best. ist so simple, and we need not worry either way we want to go.
Thanks, Mr. Tolle. I think some people who say that they dont want to incarnate anymore dont want to incarnate on this planet anymore and I understand that.
The rebirth dynamics is quite subtle and complex. Unfortunately, not many have a clear view of the process.
Dear Eckhart, You were saying, that the memories do not belong to the material mind, that they are part of our consciousness. But why is possible, that the people can lose their memory, especially when they injure their head? They can forget completely their identity. What gives us or refuses to give us the access to this memory field also including the past lifes? I know, You will not probably answer me here in the comments, but there are many people writting the comments, so maybe someone can explain me? With greatest regards Tomas
The brain is the hardware--the mind is the software. All the memories are in the mind/consciousness, (software) and are never lost. However, when the physical BRAIN is damaged--the memories cannot be recalled through the damaged hardware. Once free of the damaged brain (as in death) all the memories are there for accessing.
He said it so well about different incarnations everyday. It's about finding a flatline/base in spirit. Doesn't mean to be boring...just aware in the energy,and know how to maneuver that energy ~~~~~>💓°•○☆💕
I am experiencing right now everyday a strange situation. Everyday I receive an information which says to me that my mission on this planet is over. I have experienced everything which I should experience. And now everyday i open my eyes i feel total emptiness and my life here is total meaningless. And I don't know what to do anymore. It feels like the movie Groundhog Day everyday is the same and nothing great is happening anymore. It's like I can't identify with this life on this planet anymore. And I don't know what to do with these feelings and these thoughts. Has anybody ever experienced the same situation everyday? Sorry for my English i am German.

You don't die if you know yourself!! You as a small thinking person and your whole world is inside your consciousness!! Reincarnation, life and death has no meaning when the consciousness knows itself and remain firmly established in itself!! Know that this is the truth!! Knowing it means liberation!! Knowing it you remain fearless!!
A very rich listening experience on life, death and the essence of that which is real - or what we love in someone who has left their body. In my opinion, Eckhart Tolle’s current life or incarnation is devoted to helping humanity evolve and I am grateful for that. You can draw as much as you like from his deep well of spiritual wisdom. ✨🙏🏽💗
I agree. And Eckhart's difficult early years prepared the platform for his present consciousness/wisdom. Often one needs to lose one's way in order to find or identify it. I believe that most of the global population still lacks the capacity (and therefore the desire) to draw from Tolle's deep well of spiritual wisdom--it simply doesn't resonate with most people.
@@writerforlifeify I know when I first started listening to ET after Oprah introduced him to the world, I was attentive because I felt he was imparting important knowledge. Sometimes I would listen to some things 2 or 3 times to help absorb an idea, but I have realized that my uptake is much swifter now without the need to unravel and repeat. Lucky for us, we ‘get him’ :-)
@@SavoirFlair I feel that we ALL know what Tolle is talking about; it's nothing new...however in most peeps this info is buried so deeply, they can't access it let alone articulate insights such as those he shares. Just try engaging the average person in ET discussions & you see their eyes glaze over, their minds tune out, an inner door shuts....but the one on the precipice of understanding lights up, eager for more, hungry for confirmation (in words) of what already resonates with them intuitively. Everyone's consciousness ripens at a different pace; each of us is at a particular point in our relationship to our (inner) Self.
You'd be surprised at how many peeps respond with FEAR when you so much as hint at cultivating a capacity to live your life on your own terms, thinking for yourself, rejecting social scripts for living, aligning with your own Truth. I was 24 years old the first time I encountered a person (a 45-yr old woman enrolled as a mature student) in my university class---who was sooo upset when the prof gave us 'carte blanche' to choose our own essay topics--she wanted to be told exactly what to write about & how. The freedom to choose frightened & angered her! I was shocked as I am accustomed to claiming all manner of liberties in my life....without breaking laws, haha.
Infinite gratitude beloved Teacher 🙏💖✨
According to Upanishads/Sanatana Dharma, it's the fourth purushartha which is what, every being is aspiring . That is Moksha/liberation. The other three are dharma, artha, kama all of which make rebirth possible for the sake of moksha. So yes moksha is the thing to aspire for or rather our original nature is already moksha, the conciouness was /is /will never bound. It's always liberated. Identification with body and mind due to ignorance is the problem.
I can Sense that I've done this Experience Before and sense that this is Enough Experiencing and Experimenting for Consciousness and Although I had a Happy Childhood in the very early year's than began the Suffering that it Will Never be thr Samebagain anyway and I just Done, Content and Grateful, but definitely Done...God Bless All on Your Journey 🙏 Namaste 🙏 Ohm, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Ohm..
Do you think we can find the conciousness of people/animals we love that have passed
Of course 💙
Absolutely. Alot of the time, you are in groups. Meaning, your loved ones and pets keep reincarnating with you, but likely in different roles.
I feel that they are in me. One day I came across a piece of jazz music that my mom loved and played at home a lot. In that moment a strange thing happened. I didn't feel close to my mom, I felt like I WAS my mom. Never forgot that.
@@quorrakai I agree. 💯😇❣
@@TerriblePerfection What a beautiful experience... such a gift. 🥰❣😇
I am not fearful of death. But I cannot imagine anything more wondrous than the experience of human life on this most beautiful of all planets, the planet Earth. I would choose it all over again even if offered nirvana or heaven.
When we grieve over the body of a dead pet or family member, we can perceive that the soul is eternal and does not die, but that death is very real for those of us left behind.
I would never want to repeat this life, but I have to accept that I have a long way to go. I definitely lose myself as awareness. I guess it's a process.
I definitely don’t want to come back in “form”. It’s why I’m at this site and practicing stillness
My motto is “ don’t mind the mind”
"It's Only After We've Lost Everything That We're Free to Do Anything." Tyler Durden. If we would happen to really understand what this profane quote means, we would realize that mostly everything in life we used to be identified with, or which we deemed to be relevant and substantial, is just an illusory construct, which mainly serves to emphasize our need to let go and to explore our true essence of consciousness, we would start to smile and feel joy in a way which never was experienced in our whole existence as a physical being..
Yes I would want to go through my child hood again. I was a True Self. Always playing , climbing trees digging in the dirt. Swimming. Collecting salamanders and so much more. It was a blast
Next one might not be a blast, could be horrific 🫤🫣
I wondered about that too. Some of us had happy childhoods, filled with love. 🤔
Reincarnation, if real, would be the absolute worst thing that could happen to you. You forget everything, all of those you loved are now gone as if they never existed in the first place and then have to redo it all. Relearn everything and if you happen to be in an abusive family, well you're stuck in it at least for a while.
I don't know why reincarnation is something as seen as normal to some or the ultimate reward after leading a life full of good values in some cultures: "Oh you lived a good life, very nice! Your reward is to start over 👍"
It's not a reward it's a freakin hellish loop.
Since something can't come from nothing, something can never become nothing.
The soul is eternal. It's energy and it doesn't die. In this life, we are in these human meat suits that do expire. But, we move on as a soul. Reincarnation is absolutely true. We have had numerous lives, here on earth and beyond.
Is it possible for me not to come back to earth after death? I don't dread death, im scared I might have to come back here again...
So you want to attain moksh@@stephanegli3160
CRAZY HOW ACCURATE HE IS LIKE HOW?❤❤ I REALLY LOVE YOUUUUU I AM COMPLETELY AMAZE OF HOW YOU TALK AND EXPLAIN IT ON POINT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sad that we have to go through and suffer endless reincarnation cycles before awakening.
Good that Eckhart teaches us a relatively simple way to achieve enlightenment - NOW.
What is the percentage of population is truly enlightened? More rare than lottery winners? Well, there are still hundred of millions of gamblers believing that they will be one of the winners in "FUTURE"!
Thank you Eckhart.
This is divine, i can see many spiritual traditioms on his knowledge east and Western
Am more than ready to not come into form again
I fully agree 👍 Consciousness is everything and it is our duty to go beyond (the matrix)
You are truly remarkable, I'm so happy to have found you, your teachings have overwhelmed and overtaken me. Thanku
Try read this article for know something.. Death and Day of Judgment Learn Islam
What is essential is always invisible; love is invisible; in fact our senses are so limited that most of all that surrounds us we cannot see...The essence of US will always exist; immortal!
I lost my beloved dad last September 💔 it is still difficult to comprehend that he is gone. I wish I can know if he okay now after all his suffering, and does he still retain his memory that he was my dad? Love you papi
Your dad isn’t gone, he’s in a different dimension now and it hard to communicate with us in this low dimension, his consciousness will form a part of the consciousness of the universe but he’ll be watching over you as there’s a special connection to thier loved ones ❤️
@@dierdrebolton6806 Thank you Dierdre for the comforting words
The audio volume is low. The first very short clip is fine, then the volume drops. 🌱 Wonderful. Volume fine @ 5:59.
ISOLATED/ SEPARATE CONSCIOUSNESS ( or the illusion of such) is what creates the sense of individual self or ego.The impression that you exist somewhere in your body or in your head as opposed to existing in someone else's body or head is what gives us that sense of individuality. We are further defined by our MEMORIES which are unique to us. Unless BOTH of those attributes continue to exist after death then we cant really say we - as an individual ego or personality -survive.
I was once told by Lady Padina Cole of the Erasmus Foundation that I was an "Ancient" and that rather surprised me because in those days I was pretty much a party boy
I was the sky and I was the sea, I was the wind and I was the tree, this is why I know that I was, that I am and that through the atoms of my body, I will always be. Michel Di Sclafani

Expansion has my curiosity peaked. There's so much more than meets the eye or even 'I' as it were. Death holds little angst for me, since it seems an ongoing process. Understanding the vastness of life, my senses are engaged, therefore, at least in this present moment, I'm in wonder and awe of the now and the unknown. In this state of awareness and appreciation I'd like to continue. Perhaps I'm what some may call a young soul or maybe I'm just awakening to the joys form experience has in store. Remembering my plea as a child that there has to be more to life than this, perhaps I'm finally beginning to know myself outside of the conditioning and programming of how my life has been and now I'm feeling/sensing there's more.
"All is well" thanks🌸
Thank you, Divine timing ✨ i feel a sense deep down in me also but for some reason can't get past the feeling of going nuts
What you are already is at home and never left home.
It is a shift of perspective you are already very familiar with: awakening from a dream.
While dreaming you identify with a body/mind but once awake you realize that perspective was wrong. You were not a body/mind but the whole dream, all of it as in any dream.
Now try to apply that very same change of perspective in the dream called life.
Watch and investigate the resistance of your dream-self to my suggestion because, hey! Life is real!
Is it?
Or is it just a belief as in any dream?
Investigate and discover.
The truth will set you free.
Check nde's. Indeed it's going home.
Leonardo da Vinci said " the greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions " Plato shared with us the wisdom he learnt from Egypt, wisdom that was a death sentence in Greece, Rome (Christianity)...Pythagoras, Socrates and later Hypatia of Alexandria. Plato in his dialogue "The Republic " tells the parable of " The Cave" in this parable Plato starts by telling us of prisoners being held in a underground den, let us examine this den via the geometry of Bernhard Riemann and Felix Klein...Klein bottle...3rd and 4th dimensions. Plato tells us that the prisoners are bound up unable to move their heads, let us examine this bondage via the psychology of Erich Fromm...socialisation of consciousness...aware-unaware. Plato tells us that the prisoners mistake shadows for substance, let us examine this mistake via the philosophy of Thales, Hume and Kant...synthetic a priori judgement...not thing in itself. Plato tells us that one of the prisoners is released, let us examine this release via the wisdom of T Lobsang Rampa...stilling the mind and consciousness astral travel...leaving the cave. Believe nothing that you cannot prove by personal experience. And you will escape from this world of babble.
9:01 You reincarnate with complete identification to thought and emotions, you are reincarnating into form, meaning losing awareness of awareness. You reincarnate multiple times a day everytime you lose your awareness.
Humble prostrations Eckhart Sir.
Presently iam going thru great crisis. I want to experience God... the Consciousness behind me. i want to go more deep in practising presence... free from mind.
But iam in big threat from my own elder brother... Black magic...Alcohol addict. He is trying his best to lock me in jail. i dont have support from friends, parents or relatives... am helpless.
Seeking your Grace and blessings. I ve heard that.. " a Person who has realised God is God Himself " . like Sree Ramana Maharshi or Jesus Christ can You kindly save me from this danger... this obstacle... so that i can continue my spiritual practice...?
Om
Pray. Pray to GOD in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m not saying this as a religious person but as a spiritual person. Prayer really does work. It’s this prayer on RUclips by this bald dark skinned African guy. It’s called Prayer to cancel the evil plan of the enemy. It works. GOD is real and Jesus is real. I don’t know everything but I know prayer works when u pray to Jesus and GOD. Wishing u well
Your never helpless. When there is a will there is a way.

Thankyou brother
One day I was shaving and getting ready for work. I looked into the mirror and said with insight and realization "I am not this body." My oldest son was shocked when I told him it would be okay if I died. This was during the pandemic. Now I am not as ready to die because my wife of 65 years has cognitive issues because of covid, and I need to be here to help her through this. Do I wish to reincarnate? No, but I would agree to if it meant helping someone else to achieve enlightenment. I'm not saying I am enlightened, but that's what it might take for me to have that option as a choice. 🤔
The quote (the first sentence) from A Course In Miracles comes, no doubt, from the Bhagavad Gita
@JP Where exactly?
@@Chandrika-22 Probably 2.16
What I hope will happen to me when I die, is to experience “the peace that passes all understanding in this life, but I think was spoken of by Jesus”.
That was a great overview on the topic. Tldw: everyday you have the choice to be reincarnated with the figures of form. Are you identifying with your life situation and surroundings and urges? If you find you still are, that it's okay but you will still be identified with form
Unfortunately the sensory realm in this life for myself has been very lacking or unsatisfactory. To compensate, I have attempted to improve the life experiences of others. That has been quite satisfying.
Hoping that Eckhart answers this. I have always believed that since our hearts and brains have electricity present, and energy cannot be destroyed, that energy or matter etc has to transcend to some place. It seems like a miracle for that energy to find itself at a hospital as a child is born. Or if the soul enters at the point of actual conception, I've wondered these things for quite some time
I can't pretend to know, but it seems to me that energy blends into energy as a constant supply to be used by the conscious for continuous use. I don't see anything about our authentic self entering into a false reality but our attention falling into a dream state.
