- According to Eckhart, for many people, the beginning of spiritual awakening is when we first see the incessant stream of thinking running through our minds.

I've always felt a compelling urge to play a part in humanity's grand endeavors, aiming to harness the levers of influence, secrets to optimal well-being, and safeguarding. The longing for acknowledgment has remained steadfast, not born of vanity or excess, but rooted in a profound sense of self and mission. Inside, there's an insatiable thirst to explore the intricacies of human comprehension, pursuing insights reserved for the chosen few. My goal is to embrace the wisdom that our forebears ardently hoped we'd grasp.
t's natural to feel the way you do; being human means having emotions. If you're on a quest for deeper understanding, joining the Illuminatus can open doors to enlightenment and beyond. Despite its mystical aura, there are real paths you can take to become a member.
Certainly! , are you suggesting that it's realistically achievable to join? I've often thought it's only accessible to those from specific financial backgrounds.
Certainly, that's intentional; it's what they want you to believe.. Delving into the concept of Radiant Reservation will offer a more profound insight into the subject and open doors to exclusive groups.
That's absolutely amazing ! I deeply appreciate your suggestion. I've just researched RR and swiftly reached out.
They aren't a covert organization; instead, they function subtly, embracing those sincerely committed to improving humanity. Should you aspire to propel our species forward, they'll extend a welcoming hand, presenting wealth, influence, considerable impact, hidden knowledge on well-being, and most importantly, age-old wisdom unraveling the intricacies of global matters.
Suffering led me to spiritually awakening. I find it amazing how much suffering it took to get there. Decades of immense suffering...mostly from my own ego mind. Ever since reading the Power of Now about a year ago and applying the techniques that Eckhart taught in his book my mental state has markedly changed for the better. My ego mind tells me it is a tragedy that I discovered it so late in life, after I had already destroyed any future I might have had if I had not been lost in my ego mind suffering. But I also know that what is, simply is, and that acceptance, forgiveness to myself, and living in the now is all that really matters. Why surrender the beauty that is now for the pain that was...
ditto Dan...it's amazing how that pain slides away when you see if for what it is. You explain it so well, thanks.
Very good explanation of none dualism, recently on my stages of looking 😊
It is amazing ! I love how when the thought “you have discovered this too late in your life when there is no future for you anymore” appeared, you spot that and recognized it as the mind trying to trick you again coming from the back door 😄 I relate to this as similar tricky patterns operate in me as well, but are recognized and cannot take control :)
Also remember that there was never any future anyways… there is just now, thats is.
Suffering led me to surrendering which awakened an awareness within. 👑
@@michaeljlumpkinesquire so then we could say that those without suffering like we had will have a harder time to awaken. The more pain we have, the easier it is to awaken to reality. But narcissists are in pain too and they would have a harder time to awaken. Harder to see the forest for the trees for them than us. hmmm...guess i just told myself how to not judge them so much. cool.
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung
Know thy self. (Jesus Christ).
@@karanfield4229 awarness of the unconcious
What did he mean by "outside"? Isn't everything we are aware of inside our minds? (Can we perceive anything if not with our senses and all signals that are interpreted in the brain? Can we in any way have any direct contact with the "outside"?)
Like everyone else, you need a great teacher................falun dafa
This quote by Carl Jung emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and introspection for gaining clarity and understanding. Let's break it down:
1. **"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."**
- This part suggests that true clarity and insight come from introspection, understanding your own desires, values, and emotions.
2. **"Who looks outside, dreams."**
- When you focus solely on external factors or what others are doing, your aspirations might remain as dreams or wishes without a deeper understanding of your own motivations.
3. **"Who looks inside, awakes."**
- In contrast, by turning your attention inward, examining your thoughts, feelings, and motivations, you achieve a higher level of self-awareness and "awaken" to a clearer vision of your life's purpose and direction.
In day-to-day life, this quote encourages individuals to engage in self-discovery, introspection, and mindfulness. It suggests that by understanding your own values and aspirations, you can make more informed decisions, set meaningful goals, and navigate life with greater purpose. It underscores the idea that true clarity comes from within, not just from external influences or societal expectations.
My awakening felt like a pure bliss of joy. My mind was always in the future, and when I turned to present, I finally felt the taste of the food in my plate, the smell of the air, the beautiful forms of leaves of trees in the park, i felt the warmth of the sunshine while seating on a bench... all these life and happiness can only be felt in the present, not future or past.
Nice to know that, Nika. Namaste 🙏
Thank you
But unless you find a righteous spiritual practice, you will have to come back here and remember it all over again and again............falun dafa
What you're describing is what we all do or experience anyway, at least some of the time. No spirituality required.
@@gribwitch I am not talking about every day life. If one just lives day to day, one eventually will find the body decayed, diseased and then death., followed by reincarnation. we all have been in this maze for thousands of years. Inevitable, but a righteous spiritual practice can break that cycle and show us how to return home to Heaven, not with death. Compared to Heaven, Earth is a sewer...............Falun Dafa ..........
The first sign you are awakening is that you are watching this video
😂
Sorry😢
True 👍🇬🇧
I would love to believe you 🙏
i feel like the grip of my ego is failing,
whereas before it was like being possessed.
& lately it is losing, the volume on it grows weaker as acceptance of what is,
allowing what is
to come and go,
& Tolle has been there for me thru these teachings, he comes back again & again to these themes that are so vital, while other teachers offer shiny new flavors, Tolle is preparing food that nourishes the soul.
After leaving the workforce, giving birth to my son, going thru postpartum, grieving the loss of my brother & leaving the city I lived for over 20 yrs, I encountered someone who ultimately led to my spiritual awakening. This video perfectly depicts what it means to awaken. A beautiful little bird flew right into my chest yesterday and flapped its wings and then flew away. A baby was giggling and smiling at me as if I had angels by me. These little things mean the world to me now. ❤
I am a pisces dreamer, adhd, bipolar 2, ptsd, GAD. 50 yrs human. I studied philosophy and sociology and psychology. I have read important teachings. Tolle has looked into what he speaks professionally and personally. Tolle's books and talks are very dear to me. He makes it all so clear, the life situations versus the actual life in the NOW. I cannot find anything to dislike about his books. Everyone should read and Surrender to the beatiful nature of NOW. After all, Now is all your attention needs, now is all there is. ❤
I am almost convinced that the more messed up you are, the quicker you awaken. The level of suffering escalates to a level that is unbearable. That's when it started for me. Thank God it has progressed to the point that peace came followed my clarity. I am so grateful for having been blessed.
Some of the most messed up people are now the most awakened. This makes me very optimistic. 😂😊
i can attest to that haha, so much pain and trauma that ive had to experience
@@joemusicman64😂
That’s what happened to Eckhart.
Jung said only suffering leads to a higher consciousness.
As a tradesman I often have to work outside and I would often check the weather in advance to see if was going to be too hot during summer, or too wet during winter. I was always stressed if it wasn't ideal. How ridiculous this now seems to me. Now I understand what is meant by surrender to what IS. I am now free from complaining or disappointment. In fact I smile now and adapt as best I can to what IS. I have also lost all my anxiety because I now realise how I used to create this state by living in the future and my mind always filled it with problems. It has changed my life so much and everyday I see things more clearly. Yesterday I was starring at some plants in the park because I was struck by something odd. All the plants were exactly the same but one had burst into blossom with many yellow flowers. As I starred at it I was suddenly aware that this plant among many had awakened. It almost brought me to tears. It felt so personal.
Lovely.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m also a tradesman and I really felt what you said😊
It is not polite to stare. Just kidding. Wisdom is only attained through suffering so I guess that you are stuck but don't worry heaven will not forget you.
Beautiful!
No one is worried lol
Reading the book changed my life. The moment I realized that the mind is a but a tool and thoughts are not who I really am, I could detach myself from anxiety and panic. This is coming from someone who suffered panic attacks for years and almost constant anxiety. I was addicted to negative thoughts and my mind and emotions controlled almost everything I did.
That's why I find making art to be so satisfying. I get so into the moment that time doesn't exist and I'm blissfully happy.
I was just thinking that his words reminded me of the power of art, I mean beautiful art, not the dystopian or self- indulgent stuff they try to pass off as art today, but the beauty of art that Roger Scruton spoke about.
Exactly, when I do wood burning art I drown into that work that I dont realize time passes
Flow
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And of course "The Kingdom of heaven is within you."
Yes; & "...does not come with signs to be perceived." I love this!
💚amen💚
Yes. And more than you may realize.
From: LIFE AND TEACHING of the MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST, Baird Spalding, 1927. Revised 1964
This is the story of a three-and-one half year research into the teachings of the Great Masters of the Himalayas in 1894, of which Mr. Spalding was a member
Vol 3, chapter V, page 47. Jesus explains that when each declares having Christ within, one must accept the fact that one IS the Christ, and IS God:
“That one sees the higher body of himself vibrating at a higher rate than does his limited body, that he also sees. These which appear as two, are only an appearance because he does not believe that he is the Christ. Let him declare himself the Christ, and actually accept it as a fact. Let him declare that the Christ of God stands forth, and at that instant, he IS the Christ of God. He then must go forth, direct to God, the Father, and declare definitely, and know positively without fear, that he IS God.”
Gospel of John
10:34 “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’
John 1:14 (NIV) “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
(Neville Goddard says this is a mis-translation. Should be, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling within us.”. The creative power of the Universe dwells WITHIN us )
2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you.”
Galatians 2:20-“It is Christ who lives in me”
“I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me;
Luke 17:20-21
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."

Awakening Just Helps You Get Out of Mental Illness
It's not a scary mystical ritual
but remember
Only the right religion can save your soul
[If you are a devout Christian
You must fill you with the Holy Spirit
Study the life of the Lord Jesus]
If you are [Buddhist]
or [Taoist] followers
You will follow advanced wake-up instructions
so as not to lose yourself
[Religious rituals cannot be mixed]
God does not redeem education other than biblical education
There are times when my thinking kicks in and I say to myself, "right now". It pulls me out and I start with appreciation for the simplest things: the ground I'm walking on, a bird that flies by, the simple fact that I am here, and I usually try to end with an appreciation for all these other souls within their biological units sharing this experience. It never fails to put a smile on my face and give the right kind of perspective. One day I hope to never have to put myself in check. It does seem that the more I practice the more I am in the state of being. Cheers 👏 to everyone working on themselves, we got this!
There is no one to work on themselves🤗🙏❤
I'm with ya friend all the way. I say "right here right now" because that song is so awesome. Gratitude, it's so important. Cheers to you.
Nicely put🙏😌
We are all a work in progress, and it's really good to share and celebrate our progress with each other 👍👍👍👍sharing makes everyone's journey that much easier and enjoyable ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙏❤
In my opinion spiritual awakening is not a one time process but requires everyday repetition and discipline cause you know the outside world challenges you everyday.
Thank‘s for the eye opener Eckhart 🙏🏻
Mine comes in waves… I become unconscious and drift back into my mind.. forget who I really am… and thank goodness my spirit brings me back around again, each time I’m more conscious of my true self than I was the time before. So it must be meant to happen. Eventually I’ll be enlightened and the waves wont pull me into unconsciousness, but somewhere else. Everything in it’s time. I’m also those waves, growing myself spiritually at the exact right time and phase.
I used to think that to. But recently things changed and I realised it takes no effort or discipline at all. It doesn't even take meditation. You just need to see from before the "I"
It also requires a great teacher...............Falun Gong.
@@rosemadder5547 What is it you feel like when you "remember who you really are", Rose ? I don't know, because it hasn't happened to me.
The level of dread that comes with awakening is too much for some humans. I almost lost one of my sisters. Thankfully we awakened bc of her and now we all speak a language that few understand. We can comfort and support each other 🤍 may you all have the best human experience possible.
As Eckhart says noticing natural things does help our spiritual awakening. Today in Canada I am looking out the window at the beauty of snow.
I am listenning to the birds in south of Portugal. May we all live in peace.
Margarida-After shoveling hours of snow this winter.
I will choose the birds in Portugal drinking a Margarita..
@@stevedamien638 I hope you will enjoy if it will ever happen.
Yes Nature can be a Doorway for Awakening 😲😲🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🙏💜🙏 🌹
@@rosisunny9302 stop by 😜
You no longer care about dying cause u know ure eternal.
I just love his little giggles…
You really hold people by their imagination and take them onwards to tranquility,reassurance and hope.
For me the moment you realise you are not your mind or the thoughts it produces you are awake, and what follows is freedom to realise what is and no longer need to think, know or create a story about what might possibly.
Accept what is
Trust what will be
And be grateful for everything
These 3 things for me are the key to freedom and happiness
…and what a relief it is knowing you are not your mind. You are an immense, love, light being💜
Us hardship hits you. You needing Faith badly!
Awaking is not finite............................Falun Dafa
Who’s the “you” that had this realization?
This is still the dream-self acting and realizing.
One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. Calm is a super power.
Much Love from a Law Of Attraction RUclipsr 💜
To look to see without labeling! How liberating! No need to judge, comment, compare! Ahh!
I started reading his first book and watch his conferences some days ago, maybe midd november 2023. I started making the meditations and "staying still" with my mind and its so funny!!! I cannot get to feel what he is teaching but is like feeling the Universe is cheering me up 😂 "You can! You can!" Then I realize is my ego and there I go again feeling this funny sensation. Sorry for my english Im not english speaker). I realize this makes me want to live after years of depression and that is what I feel is awesome!!! Wow!! Those thaughts! I'm almost 60 and I knew I had to stay alive for some reason. I knew it. Thank you Eckhart.
Awakening is going into a state of pure awareness. Like everything that arises is noted as something that arises from you. You understand you are the source of your experiences and you are also able to observe this source without judgment.
Thank you, Eckhart,
-Much love from a growing RUclipsr
Well said ! 😁
@@claudiaarzillo1626 Thank you :D
Yes indeed Well said…
There is no 'you'
@@martingarreis it means that you see yourself as the source of all of your experiences, things don't happen to you, they happen from you.
An amazing thing appears, when I watch Eckhart Tolle's videos. When I see him talking his words of wisdom I immediately feel very deep bliss of calmness. My one dream is to meet him some day. Hopefully I will. I want to shake his hand and look to his eyes. People like him are treasures to humankind.
Don't forget
People like you are treasures to humankind too!
“I’d like to meet him.” Me too! Let’s visualize meeting him at an odd place. Like the men’s restroom of a Planet Fitness.
In its own way it is different… I had an awakening experience and a long time trusted friend who channeled Michael channeled a message that at that particular moment my “aura” went from 3 feet to expanding 3 miles out. Affecting everyone within that area. Michael said that the energy field of Jesus expanding 30 miles. Again, raising the frequency of those in the area by whatever degree was possible for them
@@tammylewis9324 Sorry, who's Michael...?
His teachings are just a start on the arduous road to wisdom.............Falun Dafa
I so very much love the Eckhart comment section. You are all wonderful teachers.
The greatest teacher on earth is Master Li Hongzhi.
We’re all wonderful students
When you become awakened, life never looks the same ❤ thank you 🙏 spirt guides
“Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life.” - *🙏🏽ECKHART TOLLE , ❤️🤍❤️ Your WISDOM RUclipsr🌸☀️*
God's Divine Blessing, we should all be seeking the Divine and quit being silly fun seekers.........Falun Dafa
The only reason that we are here is to seek the Divine. Nothing to do at all with purposes, inner or outer, Falun Dafa
Seeing babies is something, but seeing your own baby for the first time is something else. I'll never forget that moment. I was just awestruck by the miracle of life. All I could experience was "Wow". I guess that's what spiritual enlightment is; a perpetual state of wow, gradually followed by a consistent state of peace.
Baby's first thought is mommy dearest. Quit guessing and get down to what you are truly here for, to seek the divine, falundafa.
For me, it doesn't even have to be my own baby. As a former EMT---I have been present with a patient at the moment of birth. Even though I never knew these people---the moment that baby finally emerged into the world and uttered it's first cry---I would tear up--every single time. There is something sacred about the timing of coming into the world--and the time of leaving the world. The great mystery of life.
A lot of us appreciate the beautiful things in life. But it doesn't mean we're all going to become spiritually inclined and rush home to meditate.
Actually, this is something Eckhart talked about. The mind can be silenced sometimes when you are confronted with IMMENSE beauty, and of course, that can be seeing your own child. :)
My spiritual awakening started very very slowly, by questioning things over a period of about 20 years. It however didn't become obviously until after the day I found myslef thinking "it would be easier if I just wasn't here any more" and that I should just "unplug" and start again. I started paying a lot more attention to my thoughts after that.
Waking up is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. 🙌 I thank my spirit guides and family of light every day 💕
It didn't happen to "YOU"... That's is the last illusion you may need to realize because there is no "You"🤗❤🙏
Me too, when I had mine I didn't believe in God, knew nothing about spirituality or what an awakening was. I think about it every day. There was a whole world out.there I knew nothing about and even though I know everything happens for a reason and we're exactly where we're supposed to be I wish it would've happened yrs ago. My only problem is idk one person, personally, who is awake.
@@lizzettorres1111 there is no person🤗🙏
@@ozgursenturk11-11 Yes, here in this illusion we are. It's the only planet where we have the veil of forgetfulness to learn through physical pain and experience food, working... it's the best place for the soul's evolution but in reality you're right we are infinite souls. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely not saying I know but at this stage on my path it's my understanding along with a few more. 💜🔆
@Bamboo You haven't experienced it yet so iyour comment is understandable, believe me I would've felt the same way but you don't hv to be rude to people you don't know it's shows you're fearful.
When I received Jesus into my heart I received the Light of the Holy Spirit in me. I am forgiven and loved. I've been spiritually awakened ever since. Prayers got answered the scriptures make sense. Once I asked God into my life I've been awakened and blessed.
AMEN!!May I ask what year? My AWAKENING was completely Christ driven in 17' after something catastrophic.
I’m 24, I didn’t realize it until recently, but my awakening began when I was around 5. I was in a certain situation that caused me to face death. Unknowingly at the time, staring into the abyss was the first time I experienced the illusory quality of who I thought I was. Of course I was not able to process any of that at such a young age, so my awakening stayed stagnant for many years. I went though the rest of my life feeling like I was floating, almost constantly dealing with depersonalization and derelization. When I was 18 I was ready to start peering back down into myself, and the process of awakening continued.
When your mind is too noisy you are unable to perceive anything in actual form..How Profound... Thank you for this teaching..
I think what clicked for me years ago was when you said there was a time that you said to yourself something like I can’t stand to live with myself. Well then that implies that there are two of you. And then you realize that thought is not who you are. It’s just a thought. Who you are, just is. And your thoughts aren’t entirely relevant - how you think of yourself. It’s your story. Your experiences. Your perception. But it’s not the essence of who you are in the stillness between the thoughts. That’s when I learned that the ego is not anything more than Edging God Out!
“Only by awakening can you know the true meaning of that word.” - *🙏🏽ECKHART TOLLE , 💜 Your WISDOM RUclipsr🌸☀️*
Wow so very true, super true what you saying
Awakening is not finite..................falundafa
So what. The real problem is how to become awakened spiritually and first of all we need a great teacher, Falun Dafa.
Dealing with my mothers dementia and all the constant suffering was enough to kickstart my awakening. Awakening to me is that you realize you have an ego and that you totally identify with the ego and your emotions. I was completely unconscious and was completely identified with them. Ekart made me realize that I was the watcher of my ego and that when I did not watch my ego I would fall back into identifying with my ego and emotions again and suffer. Thanks Ekart for teaching us.
As soon as my thoughts shut down, the bliss & consciousness, that are always there, come to the surface - the most beautiful of experiences! Following my breath always brings me to the present.
Yes and it gives us a deep feeling and sense of such Love that I want to stay in that moment forever. I want to let go of all material possessions and just have that Love forever💕💜💜💜
How long it take you? Months, years? How long do you meditate (minutes/day) to have reached that point?
@@moondive4ever I've been meditating for 50 years now. I do sitting meditation for about 30 minutes per day (I used to sitting meditation for 2 hours/day for the first decade), & also try to stay in a meditative state while walking, driving, etc. The important thing is breath awareness.
@@SatMatt7 So how many years or months then do you believe for you, you awakened and can access your higher self.
@@moondive4ever It was gradual, although I had profound moments all along the way. I still have moments where I get distracted, but more & more, calm in-the-nowness has become the norm. In-breath, 'so', out- breath, 'hum'.
This is so true. Many people look through a veil...
When my awakening happened, i was in on the hills , felt like I was touching the air , feeling clouds , the rays ☀️ of sun touching my hands , excessive self conscious , excessive crying , the ultimate 🥏 realisation that we create our own reality and live in the illusion of others
I have that too, I sometimes have an overwelming, a very deep feeling of faith, totally game changing.
They call it cryes of serenity.
I'm really aware of comedy playing of manipulative people, feeling lonely seeing this.
I still have ego and anxiety coming back but my body is so much in need of me getting to rest and deepening that and I try to please it.
I think I know I'm not my thoughts, but I think it's going to be deeper and I can feel my essence.
I feel more and more the inside of my body I felt my heart beating for a few days, that was so beautiful^^
I think you had sort of total mindfulness, it happened to me in my home, like a change of dimension. I wanted it to never stop. I can't imagine when you expérience it in nature. How amazing^^
Mee too the grass, trees and the sky felt so inside me and so bright.❤
i experience " excessive self conscious " often - mine is rather strange - i feel a strong awareness of myself as if i'm witnessing another self of me - and then i can't be alone -
Maybe, you have only taken a baby step on a very arduous path, falundafa.
Infinite Peace is within!
Awakening is the glimpse freedom from the stream of thinking...
Eckhart imitating a baby is the cutest thing ever.
Suffering is a wonderful motivator for change.
I have become ‘spiritually awakened’ to Problacism. I have come to realise that what Jesus was telling us: that we live in one conscious, omnipotent and loving universe - is the absolute truth. I know this because I am a 'conduit' for the universe. It continually 'tells' me what it wants me to do and how it wants me to do it, through a continual succession of incredible opportunities and coincidences. I have free will - as we all do - but my main guidance is that I'm not allowed to do anything which might result in my personal gain, recognition or reward, and I must make the most of everything I have and take every opportunity I am given. I must also help anyone if I can - I know the universe has sent them to me and expects me to help them in some way. As you can imagine, this personal relationship is a great joy to me: I totally trust in the universe and I’m totally relentless. I am changing the world for the better in profound ways, but nobody 'sees’ that the universe is doing this through me. So true what you say about babies too - my wife and three adult children have said: 'don't let Dad near a baby - he's so embarrassing!' - they fill me with joy.
Rain on my hair. The smell of the ocean. Autumn leaves falling. Awakening. It truly feels like seeing for the first time.

If more people could take a little time to listen to Eckhart Tolle - the world could be a better place. He's message is Cristal clear and has changed my life. For you who want inspiration -Download his audiobooks they are fantastic!
I ordered his video from Blockbuster or Netflix years ago. When it came in I turned it out and was turned off really quickly! Who is this little guy sounding so pompous!!
Two weeks or so later I my scalp was burned bleaching my hair. The doc gave me painkillers and antibiotics. The second film of his came in (I had originally ordered 2,) and I put it in doubtful. 3 years later I was running a meditation group in my livingroom that later landed at a meditation center as it grew. That was 2015 and the group is still growing strong.
Sometimes we need a nudge from the universe before we can take things in. I’m now hooked on Buddhism and will likely never bleach or dye my hair again 😝
They aren’t clear at first in my opinion but they are making more and more sense and connecting deeper and deeper everytime
ET’s facial expression of a baby is priceless, of course he is right in what he says but so amusing at the same time
That's exactly what happened to me.... The first point anyways. It's realizing there was a constant stream of thoughts that never stopped.
... my spaciousness discovery arose from being alone during the pandemic. I realised I preferred stillness and nature to the clutter 🙏♥️
God works His wonders in mysterious ways................Falun Dafa
For me, I realized exactly like Eckhart said. I was at a low point of my life and on my way back to home when suddenly, I saw a bunch of yellow flowers and a bench on the greenest grass hit by the sun rays. It was a magical experience. Sure the view was beautiful but it was so much more than that! I don't know how much time I spent on the middle of the street looking at that painting-in-real-life. And something shifted that day. I started experiencing this feeling every time I saw a storm, or the sun hitting with a different angle. I never thought something as simple as nature could make me feel this way!

The baby reference was excellent!!
let’s get a show of hands of how many people were led here because they are in recovery from addiction/alcoholism 😌
I feel very blessed to have gotten here through that path. I doubt I would have found Eckhart otherwise. Amazing. ❤
Awakening shows you that you are beyond thoughts feelings perceptions... that all of these appear and disappear in you, YOU AS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS THAT IS ALWAYS. You see-realize that who/what you really are cannot come and go, cannot die. Feelings of great peace, love, joy, and freedom come. You see that life is not what you thought and neither are you! When you are liberated from the lack and limitation of mind, you live from awareness and are comfortable and confident living from the unknown, this present moment. You are free to be whatever is this moment. You are the formless as well as the fluid form. You ARE the unconditioned Love that you deeply desire.
Turn inwards using meditation and Self Inquiry with all the sincerity of your heart...and then you are grace prone to have an awakening.
Namaste!
Echart I love you. Thank you so much I have never felt so free. Much love from Indonesia to everyone in the planet.
I did experience that moment that you speak of. It was more than the beauty (lavender sky), the air/atmosphere FELT different. I am GUESSING that it lasted a few or five minutes. It was grace. I am no where near conscious, but that moment was unlike anything else. I was not praying or meditating. It just came upon me as I turned away from emptying the trash!
Oírlo me aquieta mi espíritu. También su voz me consuela . GRACIAS Gracias Gracias
"The recognition of thought is not a thought. The recognition of thought comes through awareness or presence."
"Spaciousness is a dimension of consciousness in you."
Thank you.

When I was around 16 it happened to me for the first time. Back then I did not know what it was though. I realized that "my thoughts" weren't mine at all and appeared involuntary.
Why? As a Pole living in Germany I was subject to a lot of prejudice. Polish jokes were very popular on German television and revolved around Poles being thieves usually. I didn't even watch those comedians who spread such thoughts but many people were repeating them.
One day I saw a Pole on the street and thought: "Ah, a Pole - I hope he does not steal my car". Then it occurred to me that I'm a Pole myself and that I don't even have a driver's license let alone a car.
Nowadays I know that "my thoughts" are not mine at all and that I just witness them. That was 30 years ago though and I'm still learning to be conscious.
Bless you...labelling people causes so many problems. You're doing so well. Best wishes ❤
@@happydays3678 Thank you very much for the encouragement.
hahaha i love this had a good laugh too!
I had the experience of something talking to me. Mostly gibberish it went on & on. I just ignored it & didn't take what it said seriously. It's been years & still it occasionally happens. I just consider an unlikely companion. I know it isn't me.
I feel sorry you experienced that. Greetings from Trier and best wishes
I love Eckhart in the now,right now now
I've been listening all my life to those voices.....ask questions and have been sent over the world to save lives
May Humans succeed perceiving the challenges of having a mind, may consciousness finds its ways to balance existence.
Consciousness balancing existence???????? Consciousness is simply your soul when it is awake, falundafa.
Why surrender the beauty that is now for the pain that was...Living in the now & making the best of such a gift is all that really matters!
🙏
We need more light from the Sun, POWER, GIVE ME MORE POWER.
Some may say that the recognition of thought is a thought, but I agree with Eckhart. It is, for a very short, clear period of time, awareness or presence.
Very solid point!
When you find your way and no longer need to listen and read to Eckhart and others. You have found your own way. This is the way.
It's always good to hear from other kindred spirits.

A year or so ago I had awakened but did not recognise it as such. There was a sense of calmness that everything was working out great in my life. I saw all the beauty around me and I had a fantastic sense of wholeness and well being. It lasted about six months then disappeared. I am trying to find that feeling again with Ekcart's help.
Was it a partial awakening almost ? Like it was just a glimpse ?
Spiritual awakening for me is the most meaningful, touching, loving experience of my life. I literally started bawling when it hit me and I discovered my true self! I am so happy. Info being constantly being downloaded. Being freed from all the damage done before now that I have access to all the answers!
Love you Eckhart. It was the best impression of a one-year old ever. Your eyes are so priceless and are an open gateway to your soul. I want to come and hug you.
I have worked on getting rid of all my emotional baggage for the last 5 years and I have never felt better about myself and now I am ready to move forward with my life and I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing now.
I strive to be that Godly woman I was created to be. That is the desire of my heart.
I just found your channel and I find what you are presenting very compelling.
I don't have anything planned for my day so I am going to do a marathon of your videos and I pray I come out enlightened more than I was when I started.
What a spiritual teacher ! We are so glad he is sharing all this wiseness with us.
So Nice that you say about the baby Mr Tolle 🍃💜🍃
Thank you for existing Eckhart Tolle! Thank you for sharing 'power of now' with the world. I felt the no-mind, being present feeling and it has stayed with me. So so grateful to you for sharing your wisdom, love, experiences with us in such simple terms ❤❤❤
Eckhart always brings me back, somehow.
Just that I know what you are saying is my first step to awakening., but still my whole life changed .
It's nice to know that people still care about what is important.
7:59 I was born with this already . ❤❤❤ words are keys
I love you Eckhart. You changed my life when I was given the Power of Now in 2005.
What works for me when feeling down is to remember that God exists, that higher consciousness exists, and my lifework is to become one with it. Or as Einstein puts it - "I want to know the thoughts of God, the rest is just details." Or as Elkhart puts it - "to become spacious." The only drawback is that I cannot share these things with my family, because they will think l am going crazy. I just have this mental picture in my head if my mom or my girlfriend saying - "What do you mean to become spacious?" It always puts a smile on my face, just imagining me coming out about God and consciousness and my whole believe system.
Don't worry about what others think from this moment on after reading what I just said, worrying about what other things suppresses you and forces you not to do what you came here to do.
Don't run from it embrace it
In happiness and in sadness, know we are all with you in God.
True relief is whenever I realize that the problem IS the solution.
Very deep, in never heard this before
@@mightjaazuz4348 nah....it's just what Eckhart teaches....when u accept What is and realizes it's your best guru....
Aren't we all worthy of the truth? We are all gurus and we know each other very well.
"Immediately it's labeled." Awesome ending to a great video.
It wasn’t really until yesterday and today I understand how this all is practice. It was like I was just randomly choosing to change my life around without knowing about all of these spiritual things. I was fasting , working out getting another degree… doing great things naturally for myself in a way while I was still in autopilot and someone showed me the spiritual aspect of life even though they were/was learning yet as well and it’s been a few months now of even learning about this all. I felt pushed into this and it keeps pushing me forward even though I insist almost on staying back for some reason. It’s like I’ve been reading comments and I can tell who’s awakened and who hasn’t and it seems almost as if they think they are higher / superior in a way. And they talk to each other as if there’s a deep discussion of what’s best for the world going on in the background while people that can’t connect the dots breeze over the comments like nothing and don’t realize what’s being said even. It seems like a lot of teachings are spoken or written in a confusing way like it could be even more simplified for a very beginning person, or to get new people to awaken are scared off with how it’s all worded or described.
I appreciate that you have related the translation "emptiness" with spaciousness, this helps my understanding.
Once you get rid of clutter or distractions, you can be fully conscious/aware, and you can stay in that realm forever. It is the realm of power. NO IMPOSSIBILITIES IN THAT REALM!!
I was very fortunate bc it just snowed where I live and it's very rare that it snows. Looking at the snow on a bush, I was able to "empty my cup" and detach from my compulsive thoughts 🕉
'Emptiness' 'Space' 'Gratitude' 'Love' means nothing to me but 'Peace & Harmony' immediately clears the self & smothers me in oneness.
Uh nope, emptiness is the absence of light, how can you experience peace into darkness? The only way is to die completely, death of your own egotistical ideas and rebirth of a new self. Accept the light of the Sun, accept CO2 instead of oxygen, awaken to Sun's light and you can pass through it's gate into heaven.
One can see the purity in his eyes. Such a wonderful being. Thank you for your time & helping us in the process of awakening. Love & Light ✨
ARthur Schopenhauer was talking about this subject becoming one with object when we contemplate art and we are free from our desires and pain/boredom for a moment. In spirituality it is also known as Samadhi. Also it is when you are in state of flow. This is one of countless reasons why beauty and ART is important.
Yes!!!🙌
“Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times, I can barely see”
I remember when I realized what the Grateful Dead meant with these lines. Eckhart just stated it so eloquently when describing the moments of spaciousness that some experience.
:)
I now can see if a parent looks at their baby, and they have a wonderous enlightening moment, and then when they go about their future lives relatively unenlightened, they remember that moment as the "greatest moment of their lives" as so many people have stated.
You help so many, and we are grateful 🙏 Love is all around us when we can be open to it. Peace and love for you Ekhart 💕 and everyone of us to know a higher truth exists....we are more than our egos for sure.
I have many impluses to burst into tears while i watched this.
For all of you who don't understand what awakening is I believe it is energy which you are awakening to higher and higher aliveness
Let makes it simple as it is not complicated at all.
Thank you so much Eckahart Tolle for all you have done to help me push for something that alot of people are failing to understand. Because of this sudden realization I seen my indigenous people needing a voice for our hurt. I feel like I have healed to a point where I can be that voice with my experiences to bring awareness to indigenous mental health and how it should be treated differently.
I feel that Aaahhhhh and cooky smile every time i see a new Eckhart video in my RUclips que !!! it’s like , “oh, there’s my good friend. “
Beautifully explained. Words of wisdom!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I share your knowledge with all that I can. You will always be a hero of mine, and for that I thank you.♥️✨
