    When we recognize the source of power in a spiritual teacher we also recognize the same source of power in ourselves, and those who awaken before others will always help others awaken to they're own spiritual power. Thank you Eckhart for the wonderful part you play in the furthering of mankinds spiritual evolution.

    Wise people don’t only follow one guru. They follow many so they can listen to the wisdom provided by many and then make their own personal conclusions. Some people may continue to listen to gurus even after enlightenment because it’s difficult to find a circle of friends who has transcended. Coming back to listen to more teachings can be comforting to know the experience they are having has an explanation. So thank you Eckhart for your presence.

    The teacher is not just the man or woman speaking, but the soul who is that person now. This soul has been giving you spiritual energy over many lifetimes. It’s not about words or concepts, it’s about spiritual energy. Stop being so stuck in the mind and body, people! Experience the teacher within the person.

    I usually watch videos on this channel. I was reading Steve Taylor's book "The Clear Light" and this thought occured to me: When I read such books and I watch videos from Eckhart, I feel that I'm whole, I don't need ANYTHING else for feeling JOY. And I came here to face these words of Eckhart about not attaching to the teacher. Interestingly enough, seems that I needed to hear these words: I shouldn't attach to ANYTHING or ANYONE for feeling the JOY OF PRESENCE
    Thank you🙏🏻🌹

    Honestly, I don't think I'm a teacher of God. I can't perceive myself as a teacher.
    I don't really see myself as a teacher.
    However, I confess that I can no longer live without the feeling of being Present.
    It's all I feel I have even in the moments when I lose it and despite chaos being my daily companion.
    Without fear I just say that these teachings brought me THERE or rather HERE.
    I may no longer hear these teachings but the PRESENCE would still be anchored in my heart. To me it is a pleasure to listen to these teachings, it is not an addiction it is just an immense pleasure and this is the extraordinary beauty of these teachings. ✨✨💫
    Eternal gratitude💓🙏✨✨✨🌺

      I think you comment is extremely well put, teachers merely pass on information that someone else gave to them. You like everyone else are a sharer of your personal feelings, opinions and experiences. None of us can possibly be a teacher of God because none of us have any definitive knowledge of God. We all have our own, feelings, opinions and beliefs about God which some of us share with each other but when it comes to definitive truth absolutely none of us know anything more than anyone else. I very much have my own personal feelings and beliefs but I am very much aware that I am no more capable of knowing the unknowable than anyone else is. Religious and spiritual people offer personal and collective opinions and not factual knowledge because in truth they like us all are only sharing their personal beliefs and feelings 🙏🙏🙏🙏

      @@veraintuizione6497 your very welcome, without a story to explain the unknowable there is only what truly is. My personal motto is
      Accept what is
      Trust what will be
      And be very Grateful for everything.
      Accepting what is without thought is surely wise because non acceptance of what is, is surely misery, Trusting beats over thinking and worrying hands down because whether we spend a minute or an hour over thinking or worrying, what more do we really know at the end of that minute or hour than we really knew at the start of that minute or hour. Being very Grateful for everything is surely the only natural way to feel because given the absolutely astronomical odds against (404 Trillion to 1 against) any of us ever existing in the first place, each any everyone of us are officially a miracle, and if we cant be Grateful for our own and those we love miraculous existence then we surely need to reevaluate our sense of perspective.

There’s still room for the teachers who know life will teach unconditionally and that noticing the background silence is the reward

      Every path looks entirely unique. There is no one way to spiritual awakening, whatever that means. For you, apparently that means not having a guru but that will be tied into the personal story and you’re already not that. For many others they had a guru. Some had gurus that weren’t even in human form like Ramana Maharshi who’s guru was Mt. Arunachala. My guru is absolutely the totality of everything. What is is always teaching me it’s always already This. 😆

    Ich sehe einen momentanen Zustand der Materie in Form eines Erscheinungsbildes als eine Erscheinungsform welche viele Erscheinungsformen und somit Erscheinungsbilder beinhaltet. Jede stoffliche Hülle wird stets für andere stoffliche Hüllen wiederverwendet. Der oberflächliche Anschein ist nicht das wahre Bild der Materie sondern ein Zustand der Materie als Form in der Materie welche sich aus den chaotischen Zuständen in der Materie ergibt welche zwischen Ursachen und Wirkungen als unbeschreibliche Kausale Bewegungen ablaufen. Im Dunkeln ist nicht nur gut Munkeln sondern dort befindet sich auch der unbegreifliche oder unbekannte Weg, während wir im Licht der Sonnen welches auch in diese chaotischen Zustände hinein wirkt nur den Schein oder die Oberfläche von allen Dingen betrachten können.

    Let me break this down as I see it.
    No Guru nor Teacher has a clue how to explain to their followers how that physical source within derived. History has proven this about Guru's/Teacher because they are still at it with no end result.
    Because if they did know, there would be no need to teach anything because ones imprinted knowledge is all knowing.
    So, all teachings are false teachings due to the fact the physical source deriving is not explained and can never be explained by a Guru/Teacher because they to have self manifested into false beliefs and therefore can never attain the imprinted knowledge within because they don't know what they have to self surrender too.
    Proof of confusion teachings is right there in the video. Here we have a self proclaimed Teacher trying to explain something and rambling through with comparisons and cutting short on sentence and words.
    As for egotism, which means one is being excessively absorbed in oneself. Well!, Self Absorption in oneself is the forte taught by a Teacher/Guru and their followers adopt that. Hello! Egotism is what Gur's/Teachers excel in. Any one who requires a stage and praise are egotistical from the get go.

    Quite obvious this understanding of guru is full of ignorance. Christianity is an example of what happens when we think we can sidestep guru
    Can you do, be and see like Christ? Typical ego trap; I'm as good.or i don't need this or that. I can do it myself. If that's so why is the world, societies cultures fighting one another? the teacher or teachers, namely world religions and self appointed gurus educational systems have the same defect there conclusions are the same. Misdirection.
    What do we really know? Materially or spiritually! What's real knowledge. The first step to spiritual knowledge is understanding I'm not this body. With this distinction we gather intelligence and knowledge accordingly.
    How do we overcome the real problems in life? Birth death disease and old age aflick all of us. In acquiring knowledge about such things when would guru be discarded? What does guru truly represent?
