How Do Childhood Experiences Shape Our Ego and Thoughts?

- Eckhart Tolle delves into the impact of negative thoughts, particularly those picked up in childhood, and how they can persist and affect one's perception and behavior. He explains that belief in negative thoughts leads to a selective perception of reality, confirming these thoughts and attracting negative experiences and people. Eckhart Tolle emphasizes that freedom comes from creating space inside and recognizing thoughts as mere thoughts, rather than identifying with them.

I swear the universe sent me this video. It completely touches the core of what I’ve been dealing/struggling with. And it never ceases to amaze me how Eckhart never fails to wake me up. Thank you so much for this much needed reminder 🙏
I had a breakthrough recently, intense suffering for many days in a row created a separation in my mind between myself and my thoughts. I now see my thoughts as separate from me. Almost as if they are happening to someone else, I'm just the quiet presence observing but not engaging with them. Thank you, Eckhart 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Yea sure you do.
Wow, that's really something! It's hard for me to even imagine what that would be like.
I should add that I still do fall back into mind identification now and then, however I'm able to distance myself from my thoughts so they no longer take me hostage, which is very freeing.
I had the same experience. With a little bit of slitting suffering, not much as the suffering i get when i get identified with the thoughts. since then i’m so at peace, freedom and joyful. Tears of joy followed me often recently. I wish everyone get this experience and i can already imagine what i wonderful world would be. It takes more practice to be the awareness itself constantly as the new normal state. When i lose the touch of the awareness i get identified with thoughts. I continue say to myself “I’m the awareness” that is my essence and everyone else essence. Who know that set himself free, who don’t get stuck in the thoughts. This man a real guide🙏
I don't know which I loved better - what he said, or the lovely way he smiles at the lady at the beginning. So pure - what a gift you are Eckhart!
Cute, child like innocence, most humble person you can ever come across. Watching him speak relieves one of all suffering. Thank you Eckhart❤
A precious book about this subject is Anita Moorjani's "Dying to be me "
Free from ego = stop identity with thoughts
For me the ability to let my thoughts pass without interest, comes and goes. For weeks even months I can have peace with my minds thoughts and then a period of struggling will return. But through experience I am truly grateful to know " this period of struggling too shall pass" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just love this guy ❤!
Absolute Wisdom, PERIOD. ❤
Thanks Eckhart, and thanks good people posting these clips
This man changed my life, the ultimate most simplistic yet massive catalyst ❤
This video couldn't come at a better time. Will watch on repeat.
What an incredibly wise man !
Immensely true. 🙏
WE judge ourselves.
We condemn ourselves.
We take ourselves to jail.
We throw away the keys.
Obviously then we complain and despair over lost freedom and our horrible fate. NO doubt we are strange creatures.😥🥴😁
So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨🌺✨
I do these to myself. Its crazy. I cant stop it.

There is no ego apart from thoughts.
The identification with thoughts is ego. You believe them. You think they are you.
But you pick up the thoughts from the collective. They aren’t your thoughts as such.
Every thought is an energy form. It’s an entity.
It becomes a veil, worse than a blinker.
Therefore identification with thought is the lack of space.
You are not your thought.
You are awareness.

We are all born unconscious, and as we grow and perceive the world around us we have no choice but to start identifying with our family members, our culture, and the society which we find ourselves in, though most of it is ego based, and we're conditioned from the offset to be egoic beings who must abide by and fit in with all of society's laws, rules, and beliefs. Thus, most of us grow up thinking it's normal and yet deep down inside us we know its not normal and therefore we become depressed. We have been lied to most of our lives about who we really are, what we should believe in, and how we should live on Earth. So I believe awakening spiritually is the only way forward and is paramount if we are to break the cycle and free ourselves of this artificial manmade matrix with its false calendar and its artificial timing frequency, which keeps us out of sync with the natural cycles of nature. For it has us all enslaved on an egoic path of consumption which is destroying the natural biosphere and causing global warming, and it will inevitably lead to planetary destruction. Albeit our main objective as spiritual souls is to preserve the natural world and create a more harmonized way of life for the next generations to come.
The funny thing is we created the matrix ourselves and all of the people in it are figments of our imagination. “Waking up” is what will eventually happen to everyone in their own little holographic bubble. Nothing is real it’s all an illusion.
Actually, in agreement with your comment except that we are all born conscious and stay that way until about age 5. That small of a child only knows how to live in the present moment. It’s the family of origin and the rest of the world that bring us into unconsciousness.
@@sarahjmount9221Yes, I agree with you, we are pure essence when we are born, and then we are conditioned by the world after a certain age. But don't forget Sarah, we are also born with an emotional pain body which plays out in us from an even earlier age, and the Ego thrives on the pain body.
@@sarahjmount9221 I agree with Sarah, children play together and occasionally fall out, but soon make friends again completely letting go of and forgetting about whatever it was they fell out over. It's only educated and conditioned adults who bare grudges 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@stephenflood3463 agree with you reply to Sarah, Stephen, any thoughts, beliefs and opinions we have because of other people convincing us of them, is conditioning 🙏🙏🙏🙏
2:00 Thoughts take on energy forms . Stuck with hostile entities constantly attacking entities.
Every thought is energy form.
I try not to care too much about what I think and feel... I just think and feel and know that I could think and feel something different at another moment in time.. Whatever I have experienced in life, has. And always will be the only possible experience.
Thank you ☘️🌸
Thought is soda. Ego is flavor ..
I prefer just plain soda.
The world is literally a guilt trip. Guilt is always the reason we suffer. Guilt gives mobility to fear! We are not guilty - innocence is our only reality. Forgiveness is the 🗝️
Wow. That's a very powerful statement 'we are not guilty- innocence is our only reality '. Please expand on what you mean with some examples.
@@aidandraper4096
This is the core belief in vedanta religion( an important school of thought in hinduism)..
Individual souls are part of the supreme soul and therefore pure , innocent and immortal..
The seperation with the supreme soul is recognized as an illusion during enlightenment..and the dew drop merges back with the ocean..
Same thing is said in a different way in many forms of buddhism..buddha-nature in everyone is wholesome and pure..
@@aidandraper4096 Innocence is our inheritance, can never be changed. Guilt is the device of the ego. So it means nothing, is but a belief. It is the judgement you have sinned. Guilt is intolerable so it is always a projection to get rid of it. Yet as long as it is believed, judgement stands, upon yourself as it is upon another for you and he are one and the same. But it is easily undone through forgiveness, not for what your brother has done but you have perceived him to have done. It is seeing him as he truly is. He can be mistaken which is easily corrected but he cannot sin, for were it possible, his reality would change, as if to somehow violate reality!

No more ego

Why would consciousness chose to experience life as a human with a mind and ego, only to engage in spiritual practices which goal is to let go of the ego? It's like as if consciousness regrets it's own creation and want to brake free of it in order to return to it's native state. I am confused - or my mind is...

Consciousness, in this sense as it’s being used, does not desire.
Desire is just another expression.
Why does a flower push through the dirt. It seems difficult. Yet it does it anyway.
The judgements are just another expression.
@@t-IKnowidontKnow
The schizophrenic spaciousness asks.
It’s understandable to be confused. It is confusing. I have just come to realize that everything is happening as necessary. Necessary for what?
That’s the expression of judgement asking that question. Judgement must be necessary since it’s happening.
Why wake up in the morning and answer the alarm clock. The mind still finds it necessary. When it’s no longer necessary it will stop. It may appear that some other action takes its place. That’s fine.
Why raise our kids and be involved with the family. It seems to be necessary. There is no need to say “I” want this or that. It’s just necessary. If a feeling of taking it personal is enjoyable then that’s fine and when it’s not enjoyable, just the same we can remind ourselves that it’s not personal. “I” am not choosing, although it appears a choice is being made. Admitting the truth and recognizing a feeling is reality.
Life is happening. Every moment stands on its own. The past and the future, although practical, are not actually real. Most ppl can admit that. So every moment stands on its own.
Every moment is expressed as its own singular expression so there is no place to put a “why”. Why would need a cause and effect.
How long is a moment? What’s the unit measure of a moment?
Could be useful questions to meditate on.
Hopefully that makes sense. It’s an important question that u asked and an entry point to recognizing reality.
Good question...
The purpose of life is to be alive - Alan Watts.
The human experience is amazing in general, its not consciousness's fault that our egos have run amok over millenias.
I believe in order to fully appreciate what we have and who we really are we should practice being present otherwise we'll likely find happiness elusive. Albeit still live.

I would like to know weather spiritual awakening and depression is same? Why docters differ from the same connection.
Feeling depressed?… this is a natural alarm to get “Deep-rest” so while you do this simple self enquiry will lead you home (you have to silence the victim chatter though, it will try to stop your awakening ✨)
Dr’s read old books and serve from ego mostly
Iam creating no more problems for myself
that's a problem.
I am creating zero problems for this comment thread..
I agree with you, and I also am aware of the fact that there will always be that one person who will disagree with your comment rather than being silent in their judgment and just going right on by your comment regardless of whether they agree with it or not.
I see this happening on social media all the time and I’ve lost total interest in social media because of this reason.
I see it for what it is. I see that people actually may use social media as a means to project out judgments, complaints, anger, criticism, and the like, and for whatever reason, I’m having difficulty accepting it at this time,
I just don’t have any tolerance anymore for those type of comments.
They are in and of themselves a projection and a projection is ego.
I accept everything that you said, and I would’ve never said that had another comment been made towards you that actually upset me ….
Perhaps I need to look inside myself to understand why I was even bothered by it, but it was not just the one statement.
This is becoming very consistent across-the-board where it involves social media.
There’s always that one person who utilizes something positive and turns it into a negative.
Then 99.9% of the problems you use to suffer from will no longer arise. If you are successful in this, please teach me how 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@johngreen4683 that is a very good question because I thought the same thing and my personal answer is there is no such thing as no problems ever arising I think what Eckhart has mentioned about this is it’s how you respond and react to those particular problems is what is key. on RUclips you’ll find some videos where he actually discusses this if you want to check it out…🙂🙂

Eckhart.. when I am in silence and I am hugging a cat, then the cat start seeing things and I can't relax with a cat because he stands up and start trying to catch what he is seeing... what is exactly what the cats are seeing? You said something that I am bringing the unmanifested to this dimension.. can you please explain more about this in a video.. why am I able to see some lights and the transparent particles that appear on air.. can you explain me a bit more or can I have a call with You? ThankYou✨✖️✨

This begs a fundamental inquiry Professor Eckhart. Is the ability to control, absorb, and extrapolate empirical data a derivative of "A Priori" consciousness? That which is "innate" is conscious to itself in that it "exists" , and is said to "exist" , as a variable sub molecular form of sentience. " A Posteriori " must be the vestibule which transcends that which is known. The scope of childhood experiences are detrimental to the mental soundness of an adult. Empirical data must be manually indoctrinated by encompassing a qualitative form in which "substance" is governed by "value." This will hone intellectual depth in addition to spiritual substance. "Power Without Perception Is Spiritually Void And Therefore Useless." (Fist Of The North Star:1986:Japanese Anime Movie)

**Key Insights of "How Do Childhood Experiences Shape Our Ego and Thoughts?" by Eckhart Tolle:**
1. **Ego and Thought Identification**: Tolle argues that the ego is not a separate entity but a construct formed by our identification with thoughts. The ego emerges from our belief in the thoughts that pass through our minds, making us perceive them as personal and defining our sense of self.
2. **Collective Influence on Thoughts**: The thoughts we identify with are not entirely our own but are influenced by the collective mind of the culture and society we live in. This collective conditioning affects our thinking patterns from an early age, embedding certain beliefs and perceptions.
3. **Origins of Negative Thought Patterns**: Negative thoughts, often originating in childhood, can become entrenched in our minds. These thoughts can stem from external sources, such as stressful environments or critical caregivers, and persist as recurring patterns or "entities" in our thinking.
4. **Impact of Hostile Thought Entities**: Individuals may carry "hostile entities" or negative thought patterns that are continuously critical or self-attacking. These thought forms can shape one's self-perception and behavior, leading to a self-reinforcing cycle of negativity and self-doubt.
5. **Projection and Reality Perception**: People project their own thought patterns and judgments onto their perception of reality. This means they see the world not as it is but filtered through their conditioned thoughts and judgments, often resulting in a distorted view of reality.
6. **Selective Perception and Attraction**: Thoughts like "bad things always happen to me" influence selective perception, where individuals become more attuned to negative events, reinforcing their beliefs. Moreover, such thought patterns can attract similar experiences, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
7. **Freedom through Awareness**: Tolle emphasizes that freedom begins with recognizing and creating space between oneself and one's thoughts. By observing thoughts as mere thoughts and not identifying with them, one can break free from the grip of the ego and conditioned thinking.
8. **Reinterpretation of Failure**: Thoughts related to failure or success are constructs of the ego. Tolle suggests reframing these thoughts-seeing failure as a learning experience rather than a personal flaw can lead to a healthier self-image and reduce the fear of failure.
9. **Self-Generated Problems**: Many individuals' problems are mind-generated rather than world-generated. Recognizing this can motivate a person to seek liberation from their own negative thought patterns and find peace beyond the conditioned mind.
**Conclusion**:
Eckhart Tolle posits that our ego and sense of self are deeply influenced by the thoughts we identify with, many of which are shaped by early childhood experiences and collective societal influences. Negative thought patterns can become ingrained, affecting our perception of reality and behavior. However, by cultivating awareness and creating a space between ourselves and our thoughts, we can overcome these conditioned patterns and experience true freedom from the ego's grip. This shift allows us to see thoughts as mere mental constructs rather than defining truths, leading to a more conscious and liberated way of living.
Thank you for this summary! 🙏
Very good summary

The ego is correct sometimes
The ego by its very nature, can't be correct. A thought can be correct however.
If I ever put on a t-shirt, then a button front collared shirt, under a cable knit sweater, someone, please, in the name of humanity, remind me that I have no business pretending that I know myself.
By your grace, if only to be self-aware.
Signed,
nothing
The cause is really irrelevant and only pulls you into the past. You move beyond all of these things in the same way: by being present and mindful.

I stop bothering my mind with stinking thoughts/thinking with usefull idiotic information. Freedom/peace @ last, this mindset is also good for the 🌎
They are not your thoughts, they are not even really about you. In truth most people are actually other people, because what they call their thoughts, opinions and beliefs are nothing but the thoughts, opinions and beliefs that other people gave them think about, defend and belief in. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What if you aren’t aware of or can’t identify what you’re thinking?
What if you can? Perhaps imagine stepping outside of yourself and looking from there? ET is good at providing tips. I love his essential meditations-I got on audible
That’s why meditation is recommended. It teaches you to notice the thoughts.
@@chickadeeacres3864 Good idea! ❤️
@@karenFlowers-p8q Is that the 7 hour book on Audible?
(I'm not an expert, but I've watched and read enough Eckhart to answer in his voice).
You can become aware of whatever is happening in this present moment. EVEN IF you can't really identify what you're thinking. Can you just sense a chaotic haze of words and feelings? Notice that, don't change it but stay aware of that. Don't try to force anything
Notice there are never student posts! (only audience) Only teachers out there?? How curious indeed!
Is this Ai made from a recording or something? I'm watchingt the video on a TV screen and it all looks extremely bizarre, specially the "people" in the audience.
It doesn't matter if it's AI, it's the content that matters.
We are here to experience life as the chaos of thoughts, we are now becoming too intelligent so we have worked out we are not our thoughts… this as a society becomes worse than ego confusion, it becomes catatonic and pointless…. Eckhart and alike are heroes now, but pandoras box is opening for the world, what will it mean for us? Is it the good news as Jesus said but all of us with zero identity!?!…. There maybe trouble ahead?…. The end is nigh…. Enjoy the Now 😉✨ 🥴🤣

Are you making cosmic egs some comedy ?Shame !!!!!
Thoughts originate from the subconscious mind. Eckhart said most come from the collective. I do not agree, but think he makes that up actually. There is no collective at the deepest and true level. There is only the One consciousness and its activities. Thus, the impulse for thought originates from the one Consciousness or God, and though unaware temporarily of subconscious mentation, you are That.
BORING WITH THE DELIVERY OF A PLANK YAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWN
7:00
Freedom comes from a little space, presence.
Become free from identification with thoughts. That’s freedom from the ego.
When you realise you are caught up in a thought, it’s ok. Return to the presence and awareness
Some people live with very hostile mind.
Their problem is mind generated, not world generated.
