1. Acknowledge and accept that it is there 2. Be with it 3. What is the level of my thinking to the perpetuation that I feel?Ex. ( are the past negative emotions pulling you back to unconsciousness)? (Are you giving energy to negative thoughts or painful narratives by revisiting them in your mind?) 4. Acknowledge they are the habitual thoughts that go through your mind in relation to the feelings 5. Begin to realize that you need to cut the link between the thinking and what you are feeling 6. Cut the link by being aware of your thinking and realize that thinking is pain and it feeds of the old feelings and narrative 7. Realize those thoughts have NO PURPOSE but to make you unhappy, anxious, miserable etc. 8. Observe the thought and feeling and notice how those thoughts& feeling don’t want to go . They want you to be identified with them, and not be conscious of them. 9. Have enough awareness of the process of how it creates further pain ( you being unconscious of it) 10. Now you can no longer be deceived by it because you are now aware you create your own pain 11. Now the pain is no longer fueled by thinking 12. Finally you realize that you don’t have to let go of anything just become aware and it will dissolve on its own IT WILL LEAVE YOU
I've watched hundreds of hours of Eckhart's clips and everytime learn something new, often the same clip multiple times. This one covers most of his teachings in 11 minutes and worth understanding if you want to free yourself from thoughts in general...actually, as he beautifully puts it... "thoughts" let go of you and not you of them. What a beautiful soul. We are blessed. Thank you Eckhart for shedding your light and wisdom on millions of people around the world.
"Thoughts let go of you" wow like that a lot. Personally I think it's a two way street, we stop taking a repetitive thought seriously and stop paying so much attention to it and giving the thought the interest and attention it needs to survive, then the mind will let go to as it no longer sees the thought as important to our survival. That is just my personal experience of course.
We don’t do a thing . Thoughts come and thoughts go. We can’t hold on to them or let them go. It only appears that way. Everything is just happening without our control. Any idea of control is just another thought appearing . What a wild ride!
@@halcyon2864 what is a real spiritual teacher? What is a real singer? A real actor? Surely if you enjoy listening to Eckhart and you feel Eckhart interpretations and evaluations help you, it's irrelevant to you if others don't feel the same way as you. To each their own in my opinion, if you enjoy Eckhart fantastic and if you don't enjoy Eckhart that's equally fantastic, no one is forcing anyone to go on RUclips and listen to him.
@@halcyon2864 absolutely Hal mate, anything that helps some people and hurts no one has to be a good thing. Some people love brussel sprouts others like myself think, how? why? How could you? 😀😀😀
i used this practice to quit drug abuse. i realized the feeling that “i cannot function without drugs” was never a fact. it was a lie that i was perpetuating to keep me stuck. now clean, i can address the issues that led me to addiction in the first place. it’s amazing how deeply we hold on to the very things that are killing us.
I’m am so happy for you, that is wonderful. Stay strong and have a good life. I’m going to use this lesson to help me overcome my suffering too. We all need to let go of our attachment to negative thoughts, it’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
"You can't start with letting go. You have to start with acknowleding it and accepting that it's there." "To deny or argue with what is creates suffering." Thanks.
Think that should be , the past 'shouldn't' have power over the present but that's like telling a person worring is a waste of time,they already know that
How beautiful!! Two persons with troubled childhood. One became an angry father. Another became a spiritual master. Thank you Eckhart for making us aware of our awareness. 🙏🙏
Suffering brings you closer to God. That's the only truth all "religions" say. Some of us let presence make itself known in us and through us, some of us go deeper into our own pain bodies and become unbearable to others
I’m trapped....😞😞😞😞🙏❤️ knowing fear is not real and it is self generated is the hardest part for me....... I have only had very few moments in my life that I had peace, pure bliss. I’m trying to get back to that place.......🙏🙏🙏🌿
I totally resonate with this as an OCD sufferer for 50 years with ruminating thought's it's a vicious circle of constant painful thought's I watch Eckhart a lot nowadays in the hope of beating my OCD .He is an amazing soul ❤
You are single and you lack company. You are in a relationship and you lack freedom. You work and you don't have time. You have too much free time and would like to work. You are young and you want to grow up to do adult things. You are an adult and would like to do young people's things. You are in your city but would like to live elsewhere. You are in another place but you would like to go back to your city ... Maybe it's time to stop always looking at what we lack and start living in the present, truly appreciating what we have. Enjoy the aroma of your home before opening the door and going out to look for the scents of the world. Because nothing should be taken for granted, and everything is a gift ❤️🚀🌙
This man is a true trainer for the mind. It is so obvious what he tells and it is even not that hard to relate to it. Explore your thoughts and processes. Be the observer of things. "Well, let's see what happens"
“Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.” ― Jalal Ad-Din Rumi ~ Much Love from a Growing RUclipsr💜
What a beautiful lesson Eckhart has taught us today. I wish this lesson was taught in our schools; we would live in a kinder more forgiving world. Children and adults would enjoy more harmonious relationships. There would be love all around us because there would be no judgement, just acceptance. Thank you Eckhart 🙏
I don't understand why this critical issues never be taught in schools and universities ?? All the governments must give reward to enforce people participate such lessons. Are they blind and deaf and dumb like Joe Biden??? Cant see how the lack of such lessons such calming and pinpoint matters have caused many wars .many suicides .many hostilities. Many Islamic extremism??? I suffered 20 years by addiction 😧 because of depression why depression because my parents thought the world is so serious and didn't understand my feelings. How many addicts we have in the planet ? Drug dealing has caused such a horrific death and attacks and casualties! Look at our neighbouring country Afghanistan if the Americans have killed all previous alqaede or talibs and after almost cleansing the region from such extremists. The main part of budget spent on building schools and universities and taught children the pure knowledge and sprituality like the speeches of eckhart and other enlightened scholars now after 20 years from 9/11 Afghanistan now was full of aware and enlightened young generation and a peaceful environment and in the safe environment every country compete each other to go there and excavate the endless number of emerald and gold And lithium mines. The problem of hunger and unemployment soon vanished. Don't say it is impossible ☝️☝️because it is possible. The whole world are thirsty for happiness. Friendship and security. Teach them such sprituality to eliminate terrorism forever. If only I could have heard a little about such realities in teenage years 😭😭 we are in need of eckhart and eckharts to prevent terrorism
You can always attend your local school board meeting. You don't have to have children in the school. If you're a tax payer you're entitled to be there. These people work for us. We should be demanding, not asking what we want taught to our children. In a similar vane why doesn't the news, any network, take a minute each evening and suggest we help and love one another. Things of that nature. This entire society and world is inverted.
@@Asad-kw3ty Yes, I understand. To begin with we can each do our part. What if we all loved each other? Surely, that is our ultimate goal for a peaceful, happier world. Love does conquer all negative behaviours. We are all wounded children inside, raised by parents who neglected our needs because they were unaware and didn’t know any better as they themselves were damaged by their own experience. We need to accept people do bad things because they have been taught this behaviour. The answer is to show someone a loving response whatever their negative behaviour towards you. Don’t face fire with fire, it resolves nothing. Your strength is in not reacting. Respond to all negative behaviours towards you with a loving, kindness response. This will result in making the best of a bad situation. You may charge your aggressors mindset. Our world leaders and governments need to learn this too. So do teachers in our schools. The world needs a complete reset. Teachers need to be kind and remove the fear children feel, to support them, and praise them. I think we are moving in this direction but change is slow. The law which prevents parents smacking their children is evidence. Anti bullying in schools and the workplace is more evidence we are become a kinder society. Sadly there will always be good and evil in this world, but we can each do our part by doing what is kind to others not what our ego tells us is right. Thankfully, due to the Internet more and more people are learning Eckhart’s teachings and other Spiritual leaders and this will grow. Good luck my friend, I’m so happy for you that you got off the drugs. Give yourself the love and self care you deserve and need to heal your broken heart. Meditation protects us all and keeps us strong.
Knowing that the ego doesn't want to let go of its power and momentum to drag me back to that old story, and consequently that negative emotion...that will help me, I think, with some of my 'training my brain' to not focus on that old story. Thanks Eckhart. I have some 'good work' to do.
My favorite visualization to practice lessening of negative thoughts is imagining a column of light from above and below. When the thoughts of past or future enter, you imagine them bouncing back off of the column. I'm so grateful to Eckhart, and the support group surrounding such teachers... You guys r saving lives everyday!!! Much Love to You!!!!
That's beautiful mary:) have you ever tried to accept them without judgement or with out any resistance that's bouncing them back. To treat your thoughts and feelings like a guest in your house. If they want to go , let them go.. if they want to stay.. let them stay.. if they want to come, let them come.. ❤
Your father suffered from Complex/Childhood PTSD like me. The trauma he suffered in childhood causes the left side of the brain to dampen down whilst the right side flares up like a lightbulb whilst being triggered or put in a stressful situation. Like your father I'm having to learn to not overreact to the present situation because I know the anger I feel is from my childhood not the present. Difficult to do though but this video has certainly helped me to figure out how to not react to my emotions :)
This video found me today and I'm so grateful! Not needing to "forgive" is such a relief - realizing that everything that happened is just a part of the issness of things sets both the forgiven and the forgiver free without the mental concept of forgiving 💚 thank you Eckhart, again and again.
Many years now I have severe RLS and inflammations in the hip with constant pain day and night. I always stayed away from chemicals but I got a prescription for opiode. I had it for some time never wanted to take it till one evening I took it and was really scared but I was painfree and I finally could sleep through. Now my dosis of opioids has more than doubled and I can’t live without it I can’t stand any level of pain. I listen every evening before bed to eckhart and slowly I can accept the pain and even more it gets transmuted into energy. I am still taking the opiods but making progress. You never know what life do to you, you better wake up!
One of my students told me that when he discussed his anxieties with someone close to him, like his wife or a close friend, then he found that the moment he started opening up to them, the anxiety decreased-even before he received any advice or support. Togetherness definitely decreases anxiety. There is a saying in the wisdom of Kabbalah that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” i.e. when we share a sensation, we divide it up, and in turn it becomes more manageable. Since it is quite easy to see how sharing our experiences lessens our negative feelings, the question is why do we not use this ability more? Why is it so hard for us to share our fears and anxieties with others? We are indeed afraid of opening our hearts, letting everyone see that we have certain fears and anxieties. That is, in addition to whatever fears and anxieties we hold within, we usually have additional anxieties about sharing them with others, that it might cause others to perceive us as weak. Since society in general values stronger, smarter, wealthier and fitter individuals, opening up our anxieties to such a society makes us vulnerable to exploitation. We thus need to seek a social environment that would not exploit us for opening up, but would rather give us a sense of faith and confidence that it can help us cope with any negative feelings. A social setting that can guarantee faith and confidence in its members is one that actively draws itself to the upper good and benevolent force-the force of love, bestowal and connection. It is this very same force that awakens negative feelings in us, whether they be fears, anxieties or several other painful sensations, in order for us to draw closer to that force, and we do so by drawing closer to each other. If we wish to connect with the upper force and let its perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection fill our lives with a sensation of faith and confidence, then we need to emulate such a quality toward other people-giving them a sense of faith and confidence, and for them to do the same toward us. By wanting to positively connect with others, we then start awakening the positive force dwelling in nature into the connections we create, and we then feel a new sense of faith and confidence wash away any anxieties that we might be holding within.
2:55 Negative feelings operate at one level. They are fed from a higher level of thinking process (mental narrative). You cut off the linkage by recognizing both feelings and thinking, from an even higher level of consciousness. 5:55 You only have to raise yourself to a higher level of consciousness that you prefer. Negative feelings will let you go, you don't have to let go of anything. What's no longer compatible with your level of consciousness will have to let you go. Everyone acts out his level of consciousness. Therefore there is no need to forgive anyone if you already see them from a higher level of consciousness or awareness. Thanks Eckhart. 👍🏆🕊🤓💖🏅🐧🎯
I learned how to be present thanks to you Eckhart !!! Which helped me control and gradually eliminate my anger and anxiety, which was daily for many many years, and which I believe led to my disease eventually! Now I'm trying to heal myself through being present which ofcourse helps me focus on my healing techniques! Whenever something happens which might anger me, I immediately become present! This results in my immediate calming down! The relief I feel by being present is mind blowing! Thankyou Eckhart🌟🌟🌟❤ ❤
Beautiful, thank you. What a turn up for the books; I don't have to give anything up, all i need to do is to observe my thoughts and how they feed my emotions. And without me reacting to the pain, it will give up and move away as there is nothing feeding it, perpetuating it.

Beliefs are like downloaded software programs that we accepted to be true at some stage in our lives. We unconsciously go on believing even though the circumstances and context of our lives have changed. These habitual thought patterns as Eckhart describes are also known as karma. When we acknowledge our thoughts through awareness and question if they are true we can shine light on whether or not that belief or software program is still applicable in our lives. This is why higher awareness through a consistent meditation practice helps you to let go of old energy patterns (thoughts and beliefs) that no longer serve you. Wishing everyone here a bright and beautiful day!
The greatest video ever, for me :) Especially the sharing about Eckhart´s childhood and his mum not recognizing the trigger of dad´s anger (I know this sooo well)
What he said at the end touched me it’s literally my story am youngest of 6 my mother had job so I didn’t get motherly love early tho she loved me most of life she still apologizes to me about my early childhood my older siblings were all girls I was raised with n oh boy girls can be very mean. My whole life i been clueless what/how my behaviour is just like he said in the end. It perfectly describes me that feel visible and acknowledge 🙏🏽♥️
The miracle of this century is that we have access to these few enlightened people. The written word is dead when it comes to spirituality. Thank you 🙏🙏
I try every day to practice what Eckhart teaches,so correct, but in a modern city its sometimes very difficult. But what a life changing experience to find Eckhart
Allowing and accepting it...then continue to embrace it and delve into it. Where and how does it feel within the body. Delve deeper. Question it. Observe it and look deeply. Understand its roots and origins. Become fully aware of what is happening and why. What are the thoughts, concepts, beliefs, ignorance, misunderstanding, etc. from which it arises? Action and reaction (including negative emotions) arise from our current understanding (or misunderstanding, as the case may be). If the understanding changes, the actions and reactions change.
Thank you, that’s enlightening and useful to know. There is a Chinese proverb; if you want someone to change their behaviour towards you, you have to change your behaviour towards them first.’ Your wise made me realise this also applies to ourselves. Thank you 🙏
Such an amazing way to explain our pain bodies and how to eventually watch something that’s deregulated us our whole lives through the agony we’ve experienced around it, dissolve! To realize we cause the hurt ourselves and can be free of it is a miracle. We just have to accept the pain is there and to start being aware of the thought processes that bring on the emotions. We can stop believing the thoughts gradually. This will start to extinguish the negative feelings that we have been suffering from. Soon enough, if we keep practicing this, the pain body dissolves. How about that? Man, he’s something else! Thank you, Eckhart. ❤
I had the same childhood as Eckhart and have also become conscious and have forgiven or learned that there is nothing to forgive (not until i was 50 years old). But better late than never.
I agree about ihis information needs to be taught somewhere anyway....school yes! Specifically, the difference of Ego identity v Eessence idenity.... it is essential! Or even the importance of monitoring our reactivity and when our reactions are out of proportion to the present moment....and dealing or allowing yourself to feel emotions, rather than avoiding them at all costs. Much love for this man. He saved my life. Prior to reading Tolle, I understood these concepts, but had such difficulty practicing them. His book, A New Earth, brought me to a whole other level of awareness. For me, throughout reading it, another "Ah ha" moment came to me. And learning about identification with the ego, and the thinking mind, the way he presented it made all the sense in the/my world. I am utterly grateful for this. So is my family and my friends...hahaha.
A person can only behave in a manner that is consistent with their level of spiritual consciousness at the time they did whatever they did is a perfect antidote for the almost ubiquitous refusal to forgive we so often encounter in ourselves and others. This knowledge has been a great blessing to me and to those I've shared it with. I am reminded of the words of Jesus when He spoke of the people crucifying Him, looking up He said " Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."
Oh my...i can relate about walking on eggshells and fearing your father, the feeling of hurt bearing witness to your mother's abuse at his rage. Horrible. So devastating for a child,i know. I am glad there was a few moments of laughter while explaining,especially hearing the woman's lovely voice from the audience.Enlightenment is a beautiful state to be in. Thank you,Eckhart.💖🙏🙂
Eckhart Tolle incredibly helped me transforming me into recognizing who I really am. Thank you so much for this. My life now is simply amazing. I'm pulling so much positivity into it. It just comes. I just give and receive and there's just still coming more and more. It's unbelievable. Just trust the process. 🙏 Greetings from your old mother country :)

I don't know if I had already seen this video but it felt like I learnt completely anew. I like how he went precisely into the process of letting emotions go or rather how they let go of you. This is where I'm still somewhat stuck but I get it now that more and more awareness just washes out all that is untrue. So I have hopes that with curiosity I can actually unravel the painful emotions more and more and as Teal Swan posted just yesterday, what we understand we don't fear anymore. Thus I'm sure I'll feel more capable in dealing with very big and difficult feelings. Thank you so much, Eckhart! 😊🙏🏼 I also loved the insight into his personal story and I can relate, just like so many others who have those love-hate dynamics with their parents and others. It makes me hopeful how he said that the process of healing went for him and how he was able to work through it. Thank you so much! 💜😊
For me, I often still feel like my negative thought patterns do have a purpose and that it is that I should learn something from them (like from past mistakes). But probably this point has long been past and I should have let go of the thoughts long ago. But I still get caught in that trap of "if only I play back this clip once more in my mind I can create a better now or a better future with some new knowledge or insight I will gain from re-playing the negative thought". Of course this never really happens but it's still hard to feel ok with letting go of the thoughts.
Wise words all the time, but yes the anger and bad teachings gets traspassed generation by generation so we need to learn again and unlearn. Thanks for your words, namaste waheguru.
I love what you said and I think if we don't hold a judgement there isn't a need to forgive. Your childhood life sounds just like mine. My Mom and Dad fighting all of the time, I had to protect her physically all the time. I didn't have hate for him, it just was what it was. I must have learned that in another life. My sister felt like you did. Thank God for awakenings and you .

This is very clear and brilliant, it's also what is called in psychology "The Thought trinity" (Introduced by Aaron Beck I believe, the father of CBT therapy) and is common to all human beings, it's at the center of our Joy and Suffering, it works like this : Though -> Emotion -> Behaviour -> Thought -> Emotion->Behaviour and so, hence you can control your emotion by controlling your behavior and your thoughts.
@@geoffreyhall2034There are many ways to do this, in fact this then essence of meditation. You can for example direct your attention and be aware of your breathing (this is a very simple behaviour, be persistent) you can also count your breathing, you can watch or witnesses your thoughts this means not engaging with them and just let them go when your are aware of them, you can also sing or say mantras and so on, you can literally use the hundreds of meditation techniques in existence. By doing this you will break the infernal thought trinity. Buddha used to say pain (meaning the first thought) is necessary (suffering the subsequent thoughts) is optional and this what Buddhism and Buddhist meditation is all about a cure for suffering or Dukkha.

This reminds me of the feeling I get when I’m driving down a familiar road. Maybe it’s a road I’ve driven hundreds of times and at some point, every time I drive down that road I go somewhere else in my mind and I’m not really there for the journey. I used to drive one particular stretch of road 60 miles long or so, and at the end of every trip I would “awake” from the journey and wonder how I even got there. My level of consciousness was very low and I didn’t even know what I was doing… but I was still functioning.
It would be good if faults with our parents are understood as children. My mother had a hard upbringing and was hard with us. She did the best she could with what she was and knew at the time.💐
Your my best spiritual teacher when I first picked up your book and best spiritual teacher now!!! I've made the mistake for many years that THINKING is awareness when it is not!!! THANK YOU EKHART SO MUCH!!! ALL LOVE TO YOU MY GOOD FRIEND THANK YOU!!! (SERIOUSLY A LITTLE EMOTIONAL ABOUT THIS) YOUR HONESTLY BETTER THAN ALL MONKS WHEN IT CAME TO SPIRITUAL GUIDE.
A beautiful comment about forgiveness. The need to forgive drops away with the awareness that everyone you interact with can only respond and relate from the level of awareness for them at that moment. It's not personal. Taking it personally only densifies an illusary idea of "me".

In order to truly change ones mind & life, is more than simply changing one thoughts, it requires a change of heart, but if we continue to blame others and expect others to change and simply think, that is the last time that this or that is going to happen to me and cause me so much pain or grief, then you will create another scenario to prove that resolve to yourself. Only I can make peace with myself, in order to be able to make peace with others.
I love Eckhart and he’s helped to save my life. I look at his teachings as sacred and the only way. However, I’m having trouble with the part where he is so kind and gives everyone all the benefit of the doubt all the time (for lack of a better term), by saying “no one can act beyond their level of consciousness” or “they couldn’t help it,” etc. It’s the only thing I’ve ever questioned or really wondered about that wonderful Eckhart’s dear presence shared with us. I tend to think that people are most certainly able to act beyond a level of primal consciousness, especially violence, when they choose to do so. That’s why men don’t wait until they’re right in front of law enforcement to start beating their wives, usually. Parents who abuse their children do so, mostly in secret. So, they’re not running amuck on the streets physically and sexually abusing every child they see right in public in front of witnesses. They know how to control themselves when they have to. Abusers and many criminals, like serial killers, keep jobs and act normal in the workplace, social situations , and when they can guess anyone is watching them. So, I do believe that to sink to that level of consciousness is a choice (to hone in on your darkest fears and resentments from childhood by taking it out on someone innocent.) Am I way off on this? Some of those who were abused as a child repeat the cycle and some don’t. It’s a decision. Isn’t it?
What a surprise, I started some technique/therapy to heal from pain. And then, the same day I listened to this message from Eckhart. That was even better than the recently received therapy. It is really, immediately helpfull for me. I now discern between the thought and the feeling. I do not let my thoughts fuel my feelings anymore. And I do not let my feelings being confirmed by old programmed thoughts anymore. No more suffering for what has happened long ago. Thank you very much!!! Like Madonna sings: "The spell has been broken". :)
The human perception of things is limited by time and place, but the universal perception of the big scheme of things is not limited by time or place. Everything that happens here, happens everywhere else at the same time. Every time something new happens here, then it has already happened there too. If you could see all these events from above, then you would realize that they are all related to each other. It's like you can know everything that has happened here and will happen there at the same time. This is the way it really works.
According to my experience it's not just thoughts that are connected with negative emotions, but also subconscious beliefs and convictions, which I have taken on unquestioned at a very early time. What helps me is, after recognizing to question those beliefs, a bit like the work of Byron Katie. That is quite an active mental process, but of cause the basis is to become aware of those unconscious beliefs and then transform and purify them. And in order to do that, I needed, what in Buddhism is called mind-training (lojong). In "A course in miracles" purification or atonement is defined as a transformation of a mind-system based on fear to a mindsystem based on love. I think both processed (awareness and mind-training) go hand in hand, at least for me. In Buddhism there are also 2 kinds of meditation: analytical meditation which goes hand in hand with stillness meditation.
One Eckhart a day keeps the therapist away 🙂 so grateful this guy exists, the best antidepressant ever!
Thich Nhat Hanh helps me too.
That’s a good one, so so true☺️
Agree!
Me too with ECkhart i fell well 🙏🌞💞
Here here
1. Acknowledge and accept that it is there
2. Be with it
3. What is the level of my thinking to the perpetuation that I feel?Ex. ( are the past negative emotions pulling you back to unconsciousness)? (Are you giving energy to negative thoughts or painful narratives by revisiting them in your mind?)
4. Acknowledge they are the habitual thoughts that go through your mind in relation to the feelings
5. Begin to realize that you need to cut the link between the thinking and what you are feeling
6. Cut the link by being aware of your thinking and realize that thinking is pain and it feeds of the old feelings and narrative
7. Realize those thoughts have NO PURPOSE but to make you unhappy, anxious, miserable etc.
8. Observe the thought and feeling and notice how those thoughts& feeling don’t want to go . They want you to be identified with them, and not be conscious of them.
9. Have enough awareness of the process of how it creates further pain ( you being unconscious of it)
10. Now you can no longer be deceived by it because you are now aware you create your own pain
11. Now the pain is no longer fueled by thinking
12. Finally you realize that you don’t have to let go of anything just become aware and it will dissolve on its own IT WILL LEAVE YOU
Thanks so much for this step-by-step process ❤
You summed it up really well❤ thanks
Thank you!!!!🫶🏼
I've watched hundreds of hours of Eckhart's clips and everytime learn something new, often the same clip multiple times. This one covers most of his teachings in 11 minutes and worth understanding if you want to free yourself from thoughts in general...actually, as he beautifully puts it... "thoughts" let go of you and not you of them. What a beautiful soul. We are blessed. Thank you Eckhart for shedding your light and wisdom on millions of people around the world.
"Thoughts let go of you" wow like that a lot.
Personally I think it's a two way street, we stop taking a repetitive thought seriously and stop paying so much attention to it and giving the thought the interest and attention it needs to survive, then the mind will let go to as it no longer sees the thought as important to our survival.
That is just my personal experience of course.
We don’t do a thing . Thoughts come and thoughts go. We can’t hold on to them or let them go. It only appears that way. Everything is just happening without our control. Any idea of control is just another thought appearing . What a wild ride!
Couldn’t agree more. This one clip frees us from suffering 💖
@@halcyon2864 what is a real spiritual teacher? What is a real singer? A real actor?

“The past has no power over the present moment.” ~ Eckhart Tolle 🙏😊
Think that should be ,
the past 'shouldn't' have power over the present
but that's like telling a person worring is a waste of time,they already know that
@@frankwhelan1715 But by saying 'shouldn't' you leave room for it to have power. So i think saying it simply has no power is more powerful ☺
A period of time simply can not have power. Unless we give it the power. Even then , the "power" we believe it has is OURS. ☺️
Actually it does... the FUTURE also effects the present and the past... it's funny how life works...
He is such a treasured possession- if only we did Spiritual teaching in school it might stop abuse snd addiction in society today. 😌❤
secondary schools are there for the exact opposite separation is what they teach and ego the kids on my streets are literally insane
@@mickey7356 and what a pity anyone aware can teach a positive spiritual awareness
You say as I rip my vape
So agree Adrian! Way more important to have these life lessons early on 🙏💚
anyone like eckart tolle
How beautiful!! Two persons with troubled childhood. One became an angry father. Another became a spiritual master. Thank you Eckhart for making us aware of our awareness. 🙏🙏
That's a very beautiful, conscious and spot on true summary of these 11 minutes :)
Suffering brings you closer to God. That's the only truth all "religions" say. Some of us let presence make itself known in us and through us, some of us go deeper into our own pain bodies and become unbearable to others
I believe that Eckhart’s dad played a role in the man he is today. Nothing is wasted.
Life begins where fear ends🙏
"What is fear? It is only a thought,if theres anything besides The Self theres reason to fear,who sees the second?"-Ramana Maharshi
I’m trapped....😞😞😞😞🙏❤️ knowing fear is not real and it is self generated is the hardest part for me....... I have only had very few moments in my life that I had peace, pure bliss. I’m trying to get back to that place.......🙏🙏🙏🌿

I totally resonate with this as an OCD sufferer for 50 years with ruminating thought's it's a vicious circle of constant painful thought's I watch Eckhart a lot nowadays in the hope of beating my OCD .He is an amazing soul ❤
What you resist persists 👍🏽
You are single and you lack company.
You are in a relationship and you lack freedom.
You work and you don't have time.
You have too much free time and would like to work.
You are young and you want to grow up to do adult things.
You are an adult and would like to do young people's things.
You are in your city but would like to live elsewhere.
You are in another place but you would like to go back to your city
... Maybe it's time to stop always looking at what we lack and start living in the present, truly appreciating what we have. Enjoy the aroma of your home before opening the door and going out to look for the scents of the world.
Because nothing should be taken for granted, and everything is a gift ❤️🚀🌙
It's about perspective
Great advice 👍
This man is a true trainer for the mind. It is so obvious what he tells and it is even not that hard to relate to it. Explore your thoughts and processes. Be the observer of things. "Well, let's see what happens"
The more we struggle against them and push them away, the stronger we make them
@@juststop022 well, that is true, but resistance is what we experience as "bad" in bad emotions anyway
“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”

You too!
I'm glad that I found Eckhart teachings before age 40.
Resist nothing, let Truth, Wisdom, Peace, Being guide you in the Now.
Best comment. That is deep meditation.
Love this
🙏🙏🙏
Thankyou eckhart ! Much love !! One love !!!!
What a beautiful lesson Eckhart has taught us today. I wish this lesson was taught in our schools; we would live in a kinder more forgiving world. Children and adults would enjoy more harmonious relationships. There would be love all around us because there would be no judgement, just acceptance. Thank you Eckhart 🙏
I don't understand why this critical issues never be taught in schools and universities ?? All the governments must give reward to enforce people participate such lessons. Are they blind and deaf and dumb like Joe Biden??? Cant see how the lack of such lessons such calming and pinpoint matters have caused many wars .many suicides .many hostilities. Many Islamic extremism??? I suffered 20 years by addiction 😧 because of depression why depression because my parents thought the world is so serious and didn't understand my feelings. How many addicts we have in the planet ? Drug dealing has caused such a horrific death and attacks and casualties! Look at our neighbouring country Afghanistan if the Americans have killed all previous alqaede or talibs and after almost cleansing the region from such extremists. The main part of budget spent on building schools and universities and taught children the pure knowledge and sprituality like the speeches of eckhart and other enlightened scholars now after 20 years from 9/11 Afghanistan now was full of aware and enlightened young generation and a peaceful environment and in the safe environment every country compete each other to go there and excavate the endless number of emerald and gold And lithium mines. The problem of hunger and unemployment soon vanished. Don't say it is impossible ☝️☝️because it is possible. The whole world are thirsty for happiness. Friendship and security. Teach them such sprituality to eliminate terrorism forever. If only I could have heard a little about such realities in teenage years 😭😭 we are in need of eckhart and eckharts to prevent terrorism
@@Asad-kw3ty i hear you but you can also teach ekhart dont you? I do it regularly,you can do it too
@@Essa10 What is this mess?
You can always attend your local school board meeting. You don't have to have children in the school. If you're a tax payer you're entitled to be there. These people work for us. We should be demanding, not asking what we want taught to our children. In a similar vane why doesn't the news, any network, take a minute each evening and suggest we help and love one another. Things of that nature. This entire society and world is inverted.
@@Asad-kw3ty Yes, I understand. To begin with we can each do our part. What if we all loved each other? Surely, that is our ultimate goal for a peaceful, happier world. Love does conquer all negative behaviours. We are all wounded children inside, raised by parents who neglected our needs because they were unaware and didn’t know any better as they themselves were damaged by their own experience. We need to accept people do bad things because they have been taught this behaviour. The answer is to show someone a loving response whatever their negative behaviour towards you. Don’t face fire with fire, it resolves nothing. Your strength is in not reacting. Respond to all negative behaviours towards you with a loving, kindness response. This will result in making the best of a bad situation. You may charge your aggressors mindset. Our world leaders and governments need to learn this too. So do teachers in our schools. The world needs a complete reset. Teachers need to be kind and remove the fear children feel, to support them, and praise them. I think we are moving in this direction but change is slow. The law which prevents parents smacking their children is evidence. Anti bullying in schools and the workplace is more evidence we are become a kinder society. Sadly there will always be good and evil in this world, but we can each do our part by doing what is kind to others not what our ego tells us is right. Thankfully, due to the Internet more and more people are learning Eckhart’s teachings and other Spiritual leaders and this will grow. Good luck my friend, I’m so happy for you that you got off the drugs. Give yourself the love and self care you deserve and need to heal your broken heart. Meditation protects us all and keeps us strong.
Knowing that the ego doesn't want to let go of its power and momentum to drag me back to that old story, and consequently that negative emotion...that will help me, I think, with some of my 'training my brain' to not focus on that old story.
Thanks Eckhart. I have some 'good work' to do.
speaking straight from the truth and heart
Thank you ET. God sent
My favorite visualization to practice lessening of negative thoughts is imagining a column of light from above and below. When the thoughts of past or future enter, you imagine them bouncing back off of the column. I'm so grateful to Eckhart, and the support group surrounding such teachers... You guys r saving lives everyday!!! Much Love to You!!!!
good idea, thanks!
That's beautiful mary:) have you ever tried to accept them without judgement or with out any resistance that's bouncing them back. To treat your thoughts and feelings like a guest in your house. If they want to go , let them go.. if they want to stay.. let them stay.. if they want to come, let them come.. ❤
Your father suffered from Complex/Childhood PTSD like me. The trauma he suffered in childhood causes the left side of the brain to dampen down whilst the right side flares up like a lightbulb whilst being triggered or put in a stressful situation. Like your father I'm having to learn to not overreact to the present situation because I know the anger I feel is from my childhood not the present. Difficult to do though but this video has certainly helped me to figure out how to not react to my emotions :)
@Eckhart Tolle▪️ beautiful. I wish you would share that “something big” with all of us…
Well put Ryan. This was my childhood as well. I will break the cycle forever, whatever it takes to accept and forgive 🙏
Left side of Brain does what?
True salvation is freedom from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.

Love and peace of mind to everyone reading my comment🙏
This video found me today and I'm so grateful! Not needing to "forgive" is such a relief - realizing that everything that happened is just a part of the issness of things sets both the forgiven and the forgiver free without the mental concept of forgiving 💚 thank you Eckhart, again and again.
Simply put…Eckhart Tolle has completely changed my life with his teachings. Unending gratitude for you dear Eckhart. Thank you. Thank you Thank you!
same!
@@KelsterVonShredster same here, too. And I just picked up his book by accident one day...
Many years now I have severe RLS and inflammations in the hip with constant pain day and night. I always stayed away from chemicals but I got a prescription for opiode. I had it for some time never wanted to take it till one evening I took it and was really scared but I was painfree and I finally could sleep through. Now my dosis of opioids has more than doubled and I can’t live without it I can’t stand any level of pain. I listen every evening before bed to eckhart and slowly I can accept the pain and even more it gets transmuted into energy. I am still taking the opiods but making progress. You never know what life do to you, you better wake up!
76 7 I wish you the very best, whether you are taking opioids or not. Your awareness remains unsullied. Blessings 💕
Much love, you are a beautiful being of light. Be it!
One of my students told me that when he discussed his anxieties with someone close to him, like his wife or a close friend, then he found that the moment he started opening up to them, the anxiety decreased-even before he received any advice or support.
Togetherness definitely decreases anxiety. There is a saying in the wisdom of Kabbalah that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” i.e. when we share a sensation, we divide it up, and in turn it becomes more manageable.
Since it is quite easy to see how sharing our experiences lessens our negative feelings, the question is why do we not use this ability more? Why is it so hard for us to share our fears and anxieties with others?
We are indeed afraid of opening our hearts, letting everyone see that we have certain fears and anxieties. That is, in addition to whatever fears and anxieties we hold within, we usually have additional anxieties about sharing them with others, that it might cause others to perceive us as weak. Since society in general values stronger, smarter, wealthier and fitter individuals, opening up our anxieties to such a society makes us vulnerable to exploitation. We thus need to seek a social environment that would not exploit us for opening up, but would rather give us a sense of faith and confidence that it can help us cope with any negative feelings.
A social setting that can guarantee faith and confidence in its members is one that actively draws itself to the upper good and benevolent force-the force of love, bestowal and connection. It is this very same force that awakens negative feelings in us, whether they be fears, anxieties or several other painful sensations, in order for us to draw closer to that force, and we do so by drawing closer to each other.
If we wish to connect with the upper force and let its perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection fill our lives with a sensation of faith and confidence, then we need to emulate such a quality toward other people-giving them a sense of faith and confidence, and for them to do the same toward us. By wanting to positively connect with others, we then start awakening the positive force dwelling in nature into the connections we create, and we then feel a new sense of faith and confidence wash away any anxieties that we might be holding within.

Negative feelings operate at one level. They are fed from a higher level of thinking process (mental narrative). You cut off the linkage by recognizing both feelings and thinking, from an even higher level of consciousness.
5:55
You only have to raise yourself to a higher level of consciousness that you prefer. Negative feelings will let you go, you don't have to let go of anything. What's no longer compatible with your level of consciousness will have to let you go.
Everyone acts out his level of consciousness.
Therefore there is no need to forgive anyone if you already see them from a higher level of consciousness or awareness.
Thanks Eckhart. 👍🏆🕊🤓💖🏅🐧🎯
Thank you for explaining the real concept of “forgive your self” and “letting go”
Thank you Mr. Eckhart for being so clear and thorough with the thought processes. I truly admire you.
I learned how to be present thanks to you Eckhart !!! Which helped me control and gradually eliminate my anger and anxiety, which was daily for many many years, and which I believe led to my disease eventually! Now I'm trying to heal myself through being present which ofcourse helps me focus on my healing techniques! Whenever something happens which might anger me, I immediately become present! This results in my immediate calming down! The relief I feel by being present is mind blowing!
Thankyou Eckhart🌟🌟🌟❤ ❤
Beautiful, thank you. What a turn up for the books; I don't have to give anything up, all i need to do is to observe my thoughts and how they feed my emotions. And without me reacting to the pain, it will give up and move away as there is nothing feeding it, perpetuating it.

Beautifully summarized. Thanks !
It is not easy to control the thoughts but it is something obligatory. we can no longer remain emotional children.
Beliefs are like downloaded software programs that we accepted to be true at some stage in our lives. We unconsciously go on believing even though the circumstances and context of our lives have changed. These habitual thought patterns as Eckhart describes are also known as karma. When we acknowledge our thoughts through awareness and question if they are true we can shine light on whether or not that belief or software program is still applicable in our lives. This is why higher awareness through a consistent meditation practice helps you to let go of old energy patterns (thoughts and beliefs) that no longer serve you. Wishing everyone here a bright and beautiful day!

i have so much compassion for you eckhart, i know everything youre doing is for the benfit of the individual and world at whole.
The greatest video ever, for me :) Especially the sharing about Eckhart´s childhood and his mum not recognizing the trigger of dad´s anger (I know this sooo well)
Me too!
So much power and truth in this video ❤
What he said at the end touched me it’s literally my story am youngest of 6 my mother had job so I didn’t get motherly love early tho she loved me most of life she still apologizes to me about my early childhood my older siblings were all girls I was raised with n oh boy girls can be very mean. My whole life i been clueless what/how my behaviour is just like he said in the end. It perfectly describes me that feel visible and acknowledge 🙏🏽♥️
The miracle of this century is that we have access to these few enlightened people. The written word is dead when it comes to spirituality. Thank you 🙏🙏
I try every day to practice what Eckhart teaches,so correct, but in a modern city its sometimes very difficult. But what a life changing experience to find Eckhart
Allowing and accepting it...then continue to embrace it and delve into it. Where and how does it feel within the body. Delve deeper. Question it. Observe it and look deeply. Understand its roots and origins. Become fully aware of what is happening and why. What are the thoughts, concepts, beliefs, ignorance, misunderstanding, etc. from which it arises? Action and reaction (including negative emotions) arise from our current understanding (or misunderstanding, as the case may be). If the understanding changes, the actions and reactions change.
Thank you, that’s enlightening and useful to know. There is a Chinese proverb; if you want someone to change their behaviour towards you, you have to change your behaviour towards them first.’ Your wise made me realise this also applies to ourselves. Thank you 🙏
This message was needed now. I'm relieved to leave that behind.
Thank you.
Such an amazing way to explain our pain bodies and how to eventually watch something that’s deregulated us our whole lives through the agony we’ve experienced around it, dissolve! To realize we cause the hurt ourselves and can be free of it is a miracle. We just have to accept the pain is there and to start being aware of the thought processes that bring on the emotions. We can stop believing the thoughts gradually. This will start to extinguish the negative feelings that we have been suffering from. Soon enough, if we keep practicing this, the pain body dissolves. How about that? Man, he’s something else! Thank you, Eckhart. ❤
I had the same childhood as Eckhart and have also become conscious and have forgiven or learned that there is nothing to forgive (not until i was 50 years old). But better late than never.
Be still and know I AM🧘♂️
Oh, Great AHA moment "You create your own pain!". Thanks!
I agree about ihis information needs to be taught somewhere anyway....school yes! Specifically, the difference of Ego identity v Eessence idenity.... it is essential! Or even the importance of monitoring our reactivity and when our reactions are out of proportion to the present moment....and dealing or allowing yourself to feel emotions, rather than avoiding them at all costs. Much love for this man. He saved my life. Prior to reading Tolle, I understood these concepts, but had such difficulty practicing them. His book, A New Earth, brought me to a whole other level of awareness. For me, throughout reading it, another "Ah ha" moment came to me. And learning about identification with the ego, and the thinking mind, the way he presented it made all the sense in the/my world. I am utterly grateful for this. So is my family and my friends...hahaha.
Your profound wisdom is amazing. I love you.
How is it that I am blown away after only 20 seconds!
A person can only behave in a manner that is consistent with their level of spiritual consciousness at the time they did whatever they did is a perfect antidote for the almost ubiquitous refusal to forgive we so often encounter in ourselves and others. This knowledge has been a great blessing to me and to those I've shared it with. I am reminded of the words of Jesus when He spoke of the people crucifying Him, looking up He said " Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."
Excellent video with the best explanation of how forgiveness can’t be forced but happens naturally in the light of awareness..
Oh my...i can relate about walking on eggshells and fearing your father, the feeling of hurt bearing witness to your mother's abuse at his rage. Horrible. So devastating for a child,i know. I am glad there was a few moments of laughter while explaining,especially hearing the woman's lovely voice from the audience.Enlightenment is a beautiful state to be in. Thank you,Eckhart.💖🙏🙂
Eckhart Tolle incredibly helped me transforming me into recognizing who I really am. Thank you so much for this.
My life now is simply amazing. I'm pulling so much positivity into it. It just comes. I just give and receive and there's just still coming more and more. It's unbelievable. Just trust the process. 🙏

Just imagine a world where everyone thought like this, what A beautiful planet it could be
Thank you so much 🇲🇦
I don't know if I had already seen this video but it felt like I learnt completely anew. I like how he went precisely into the process of letting emotions go or rather how they let go of you. This is where I'm still somewhat stuck but I get it now that more and more awareness just washes out all that is untrue. So I have hopes that with curiosity I can actually unravel the painful emotions more and more and as Teal Swan posted just yesterday, what we understand we don't fear anymore. Thus I'm sure I'll feel more capable in dealing with very big and difficult feelings. Thank you so much, Eckhart! 😊🙏🏼 I also loved the insight into his personal story and I can relate, just like so many others who have those love-hate dynamics with their parents and others. It makes me hopeful how he said that the process of healing went for him and how he was able to work through it. Thank you so much! 💜😊
For me, I often still feel like my negative thought patterns do have a purpose and that it is that I should learn something from them (like from past mistakes). But probably this point has long been past and I should have let go of the thoughts long ago. But I still get caught in that trap of "if only I play back this clip once more in my mind I can create a better now or a better future with some new knowledge or insight I will gain from re-playing the negative thought". Of course this never really happens but it's still hard to feel ok with letting go of the thoughts.
Omg I thought this was just me....
Wise words all the time, but yes the anger and bad teachings gets traspassed generation by generation so we need to learn again and unlearn. Thanks for your words, namaste waheguru.
So grateful that I found Eckhart Tolle.
I love what you said and I think if we don't hold a judgement there isn't a need to forgive. Your childhood life sounds just like mine. My Mom and Dad fighting all of the time, I had to protect her physically all the time. I didn't have hate for him, it just was what it was. I must have learned that in another life. My sister felt like you did. Thank God for awakenings and you .
Thank you❤ i was able to shift a deep old wound that had been activated. I will be keeping this handy. Blessings to all🙏Namaste

This particular teaching can really help with anxiety fear fueled panic attacks.🙏
This is very clear and brilliant, it's also what is called in psychology "The Thought trinity" (Introduced by Aaron Beck I believe, the father of CBT therapy) and is common to all human beings, it's at the center of our Joy and Suffering, it works like this : Though -> Emotion -> Behaviour -> Thought -> Emotion->Behaviour and so, hence you can control your emotion by controlling your behavior and your thoughts.
But how is that done ? How do you control your thoughts ? With more thoughts?
@@geoffreyhall2034There are many ways to do this, in fact this then essence of meditation. You can for example direct your attention and be aware of your breathing (this is a very simple behaviour, be persistent) you can also count your breathing, you can watch or witnesses your thoughts this means not engaging with them and just let them go when your are aware of them, you can also sing or say mantras and so on, you can literally use the hundreds of meditation techniques in existence. By doing this you will break the infernal thought trinity. Buddha used to say pain (meaning the first thought) is necessary (suffering the subsequent thoughts) is optional and this what Buddhism and Buddhist meditation is all about a cure for suffering or Dukkha.
Mindboggling

Thank you once again. I cannot repeat it often enough.
I love this man. Eckhart is helping me on my spirtual growth journey alot. Very wise sweet lovely man.
This video for me is the key to all his teachings. Transcendence. Will watch everyday.
This reminds me of the feeling I get when I’m driving down a familiar road. Maybe it’s a road I’ve driven hundreds of times and at some point, every time I drive down that road I go somewhere else in my mind and I’m not really there for the journey. I used to drive one particular stretch of road 60 miles long or so, and at the end of every trip I would “awake” from the journey and wonder how I even got there. My level of consciousness was very low and I didn’t even know what I was doing… but I was still functioning.
It would be good if faults with our parents are understood as children. My mother had a hard upbringing and was hard with us. She did the best she could with what she was and knew at the time.💐
Thank you and grateful for your words of wisdom 🙏🏻✨
Your my best spiritual teacher when I first picked up your book and best spiritual teacher now!!! I've made the mistake for many years that THINKING is awareness when it is not!!! THANK YOU EKHART SO MUCH!!! ALL LOVE TO YOU MY GOOD FRIEND THANK YOU!!! (SERIOUSLY A LITTLE EMOTIONAL ABOUT THIS) YOUR HONESTLY BETTER THAN ALL MONKS WHEN IT CAME TO SPIRITUAL GUIDE.
A beautiful comment about forgiveness. The need to forgive drops away with the awareness that everyone you interact with can only respond and relate from the level of awareness for them at that moment. It's not personal. Taking it personally only densifies an illusary idea of "me".
I wish he would talk in the context of the present situation that the world is in
I read "Stillness speaks" 6 times , thank you so much. Your's book help me much. I think and action, better and better. Once again , thank you.

Wow I love this man 😊
Thank you Eckhart Tolle!
Suddenly and certainly I am peace now. Thank you 🙏💐
In order to truly change ones mind & life, is more than simply changing one thoughts, it requires a change of heart, but if we continue to blame others and expect others to change and simply think, that is the last time that this or that is going to happen to me and cause me so much pain or grief, then you will create another scenario to prove that resolve to yourself. Only I can make peace with myself, in order to be able to make peace with others.
I had a sudden realisation about some things while watching, thanks for the content.
Finally a proper video. Lately they haven’t made a great selection of topics
I love you Eckhart! Thank you❤️
I love Eckhart and he’s helped to save my life. I look at his teachings as sacred and the only way. However, I’m having trouble with the part where he is so kind and gives everyone all the benefit of the doubt all the time (for lack of a better term), by saying “no one can act beyond their level of consciousness” or “they couldn’t help it,” etc. It’s the only thing I’ve ever questioned or really wondered about that wonderful Eckhart’s dear presence shared with us. I tend to think that people are most certainly able to act beyond a level of primal consciousness, especially violence, when they choose to do so. That’s why men don’t wait until they’re right in front of law enforcement to start beating their wives, usually. Parents who abuse their children do so, mostly in secret. So, they’re not running amuck on the streets physically and sexually abusing every child they see right in public in front of witnesses. They know how to control themselves when they have to. Abusers and many criminals, like serial killers, keep jobs and act normal in the workplace, social situations , and when they can guess anyone is watching them. So, I do believe that to sink to that level of consciousness is a choice (to hone in on your darkest fears and resentments from childhood by taking it out on someone innocent.) Am I way off on this? Some of those who were abused as a child repeat the cycle and some don’t. It’s a decision. Isn’t it?
What a surprise, I started some technique/therapy to heal from pain. And then, the same day I listened to this message from Eckhart. That was even better than the recently received therapy. It is really, immediately helpfull for me. I now discern between the thought and the feeling. I do not let my thoughts fuel my feelings anymore. And I do not let my feelings being confirmed by old programmed thoughts anymore. No more suffering for what has happened long ago. Thank you very much!!! Like Madonna sings: "The spell has been broken". :)
The human perception of things is limited by time and place, but the universal perception of the big scheme of things is not limited by time or place. Everything that happens here, happens everywhere else at the same time. Every time something new happens here, then it has already happened there too. If you could see all these events from above, then you would realize that they are all related to each other. It's like you can know everything that has happened here and will happen there at the same time. This is the way it really works.
Thank you Eckart Tolle ❤🙏
Thankyou
According to my experience it's not just thoughts that are connected with negative emotions, but also subconscious beliefs and convictions, which I have taken on unquestioned at a very early time. What helps me is, after recognizing to question those beliefs, a bit like the work of Byron Katie.
That is quite an active mental process, but of cause the basis is to become aware of those unconscious beliefs and then transform and purify them.
And in order to do that, I needed, what in Buddhism is called mind-training (lojong). In "A course in miracles" purification or atonement is defined as a transformation of a mind-system based on fear to a mindsystem based on love.
I think both processed (awareness and mind-training) go hand in hand, at least for me.
In Buddhism there are also 2 kinds of meditation: analytical meditation which goes hand in hand with stillness meditation.
