This small shift Eckhart is talking about is SO significant. Over-identification with what *is* always gets in the way of what is meant to do. Thanks for posting this!

Mooji has an exercise that remedies identification with thought feelings etc...these guys don't have a prescription or tools they just ramble when they're not self realize themselves
I understand Eckhart. Your ability to explain is outstanding. I witnessed a woman on the bus lose her temper. I watched her be lost in anger over a trivial matter. I felt sad she was not able to find the space to get of it. Thank you for this talk.
I just love Eckhart's humour and little laugh he has at the small examples of insanity of our state of consciousness. ❤ He is so right about the comments section on social media!
To live in the present moment everyday one must empty one's mind of pre-thoughts and fore-thoughts, because otherwise they'll get lost in identification with form again and that is falling back into one's egoic mind. So there should be no identification with the self in the present moment of being. Thank you Eckhart for always speaking divine truth and wisdom.
Time stamp 10 min to 14 min is the key for me at this moment. “How to break the thought loop”. Trusting the universe/God of which our essence is made of is the ultimate goal. How crafty the ego is in its desire to reign supreme!
I wouldnt say our essence is God, rather that if we get to know ourselves(our essence), we get to know God. Our essence and God are very closely intertwined but they are separate things. We are beings in absolute poverty, and our very existence, our greatness, our power is all given by God. God created and maintains our existence. We are not God, but we are essentially in spiritual unity with God.
What are thoughts and thinking about thoughts? Basically it's us having a conversation with ourselves. It's not easy by any means but it is simple, simply don't have unwanted conversations with ourselves or more accurately our minds, once we realise we engaging in an unwanted internal conversation with ourselves (our minds) we can simply choose to stop and change the subject. In reality it's us not our minds who have all the power and get to choose and decide what we do and don't do, there are absolutely no thoughts that need to be thought about for everything to be OK 🙏🙏🙏🙏
8:33 Observe yourself internally for any lingering emotion. Any anxiety or heavy mood? I am angry is identification with emotion. There is anger in me. Thanks Eckhart. 29 March 2024. 🔔🚗🐿⚓️🦆🏃🦜🍕🌸🍕🎅🏻🚀🌺🌺
i had a remarkable experience recently, one of several lately, i was on a meditative walk on the waterfront. I was lost in some emotional irritation i could'nt shake off. Then, at the end of the hour long walk i noticed the ocean looking different somehow. I was extremely present all of a sudden. My emotional strain was still there but seemed unimportant. I spent the rest of the day and night in peace. It was beautiful. Since then, i meditate and find normal peace. Love it all!
The moment that awarenes becomes aware of itself, you can never be completely trapped in thought identification again, as once you develop this skill you can never lose it, even though you may not always choose not to use it.
This video is just a brilliant gift to anyone struggling with identity and trying to live a fruitful life..I am so so grateful to Eckhart what a blessing he is to humankind...
I struggle mentally to listen to and comprehend what he is talking about. I think I spend too much time with animals who mostly live in the now and for the now. Dogs, horses and my parrot. Fabulous company for me and anger and anxiety are not productive feelings around them. Love and kindness and a good mood are the feelings of the moment.
❤ THINKING PRECEDES ACTION & DESIRE precedes THINKING So the root cause of almost constant, thinking, agitation, identification, extroversion and distraction is desire. And as you said, impatience is wanting (desiring ) to be in the next moment while one is here. It all arises from desire which is insatiable and is rarely content with what is and what is happening here and now. That is why in all the great spiritual traditions the absence of desire (through its elimination by practice ) is considered the state of Liberation and Self-Realization. And finally, I clarify that desire is the essential nature of the Ego or egoic Self. Therefore, by dissolving desire we dissolve the Ego. 😮
No. The root cause of thinking is identification with the person. Roughly 95% of our thoughts are about ego: you and the ones close to you. Once you leave the personal perspective and realize you are consciousness, the number of thoughts will drop dramatically.
The cause of thinking is desire, which is the essential mature of the egi. Identification and attachment as well makes us lose ourselves in thinking. Get rid of desiring , identifying and attaching is the essence of spirituality. In fact, identifying is caused by the ego, this is also what Tolle says here 07:30
Regarding the present moment as a means to an end is adultery. To think that the present moment is a bottomless pit of joy! All the time nice things are suggested to me, I don't even have a split second to get bored! Oh, yes, what was that other pleasant thing that I can do right now? All the time! It is infinity. Challenges keep occurring, like you said, but when I get out of them, I realise that they have taught me to enjoy life even more than I already did. There is no end to this. It IS the end.
This reminds me of a saying from the Fourth Way teachings in one of Maurice Nicolls commentaries "You cannot lift the plank you are standing on, just like you cannot change yourself so long as you identify as your personality."
The difficulty of engaging the present moment should be no more difficult than walking and chewing bubble gum at the same time. The diversions we use to avoid engaging the present moment are astounding.
The biggest obstacle to living in the present moment is very very thankfully nothing of any huge dramatic importance is actually taking place in the reality of the present moment 99.9999% of the time, all the drama chaos and excitement is only taking place in our minds via our imagination and memories. Drama chaos and excitement are addictive things for the human mind which why Hollywood does make endless movies full of drama, chaos and excitement but absolutely none about the present moment. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don't give up, all will be good, the mood will change, different thoughts will come, that how it is with all of us, just understand that that's not all, there is so much more ,lots of love to you ❤we are all in this together 🤗
The rising of awareness is spiritual awakening. Observing is allowing the conscious to be present and frees me from thought identification. My opinion is not my identity!
My form and mind are repeatedly challenged by the question... Why does consciousness have the need to create forms, thoughts, emotions, ego, egoic sense of self, sense of identity, unconsciousness, etc., that long to liberate and "awaken" to awareness, spiritual awakening from identification with form, and transcendent self-awareness? 🤷🏻♀️🙃
Perhaps it just needs a project, the same way we humans do. Maybe we need to strive for something, maybe we need goals to achieve. And maybe the consciousness have the same need. Why? Because life would be empty otherwise. Maybe stillness cant exist without movement the same way day can't exist without the night.
Because of love. Also, creation needs to evolve from simple to complex. Plus, emotion is a new variable that spices up the cosmic game. Angels don't feel pain but they miss so much that we humans feel.
From what I understand from Eckhart’s teaching, sometimes the mind still has residual momentum and this can happen for a while, and to just gently continue with your practice and it will eventually fade
You are most welcome Meister Tolle. ✌ I have just read Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching - recommended reading which ever translation you choose. Blessings 🙏
I deeply appreciate all of this...when I started listening to The Power of Now, I was still in an unconscious state...but it made so much sense to me. I've been there in terms of identifying with thought forms, but now I feel so much freedom and bliss.
I used to lose myself in performing advanced cardiac life support and teaching CPR. I would love to hear your comments on that. At those moments I was entirely lost in the present... 🙏
Very clearly explains Thanks a lot Eckhart. This is the big problem to come out when struggling with situations job lost, Financial growth and others. I understand your spiritual teaching but in practical not able to implement.
@@celesteburley4035 Not the point. When tomorrow arrives, it arrives as today. If we think feel and do mostly for tomorrow, we're not living in the present, and we also won't be present in the today of the future, because we're always in "tomorrow." Most of life is missed in this manner.

Looking forward to the final peace that can only come from Resting In Peace.
What a profound statement.
