My mother is bedridden and dying and I came home from being with her to find three feet of water flooding my basement and all my craft supplies ruined, and remained calm and conscious while State Farm told me my property insurance didn’t cover anything. Progress!💕💕💕💕
Truth.. I had a client recently who spoke of always winding up in an abusive relationship and attributed it to her karma and that she must’ve been a terrible abuser in another lifetime. What I told her is that karma is usually not about retribution but rather patterns of repeating energy and that it’s far more likely that she had been abused in her past life and the life before and she’s carrying those abuse/victim patterns into this lifetime. The trick is to now in this present moment to make different decisions and apply different actions that are empowering and that’s how you break the cycles of karma. It is a great teacher. Albeit it requires a lot of spiritual discipline to change how you react to your world especially if it’s linked in past lifetimes, but you can do it.
I knew going to a family party would be a bad idea so I stayed home. My sister who is reactive to family at times went to the party.and came home just feeling angry at things. She had pulled in everyone elses energies. Told her to take a bath and listen to a meditation. She called me the next day saying i listened to a let go surrender meditation in the bath and when i walked out i felt like id lost 30 lbs of weight.
Nice u watched a video today about stress hormones and that a hot bath increases oxytocin which is supposed to be what bonds families together but often they just trigger all the cortisol and adrenaline instead. Sounds like you gave her the scientificly beat advice out of your intuition! ❤
I’m currently exiting a three week period of relative unconsciousness. I wasn’t able to stay aware and unreactive during certain adversity and watched some of the things I identified with leave my life. It was painful, but a cauterizing blessing and a reminder that it is my spiritual practice to stay present during challenges- especially when it seems most challenging to stay conscious.
When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening. When they said that she was isolating, she was healing. When they said she was acting funny, she was growing. When they said that she had changed, she was evolving. When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within.
@@anshkhilnani2796 The reason why this comment is under every single Eckhart Tolle video is that there are new people visiting Eckhart's Channel on every video. The comment helps some people recognise the journey they have been on. Many people here have had similar experiences before fully awakening. 'They' are the various voices of the egoic mind. 'She' is the soul on the journey, the real self. You can also use the word 'He' if you prefer.
Well, i dunno where Ive been but I've never heard it before. I love it except for the word Evolving....I'd say Growing but that's already been used...Transforming. ..? Getting Stronger?
A person was derogatory to me the other day and I never reacted to it one bit, and that's all down to your wiseful teachings and constant reminders Eckhart. It sure worked out for me with zero karma and I can't thank you enough.
Thank you Eckhart, again! Your words are helping me to just be able to “white knuckle” not reacting to a hideous situation. Everything you’ve said makes sense and I learn a lot from you every single time I hear you speak. Your teachings are the most beautiful gift I’ve ever received or will ever receive. You’re helping to save my life. ❤🙏☮️
Thanks Eckhart for another great video. Just watched Oppenheimer, a movie that strongly connects with spirituality. In one scene, Cillian Murphy explains to Emmy Blunt that everything, including glass, tables, and our bodies, are just specks of waves, and our senses define what is solid and what isn't. The movie also delves into how a group of highly unconscious and ego-driven humans made decisions affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands, which could have been avoided.
Clear your mind and cite one good thing in your life. Something you are grateful for. Something you are proud of. Something that makes you smile. Breathe in as you think of it.
0:02 Karma means action and unconsciousness. When you react, you produce more karma. In any situation, what matters is the state of consciousness you bring to it. The situation itself does not matter. You pay more attention to your response than what you do with regard to the situation. 🦆🦆🦆🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹 5:30 Your inner state is no longer dependent on external conditions. That is detachment.

Many Years from now; when (hopefully) The Human Race has evolved and survived as an Awakened Collective, surely they will look back to Individuals such as Eckhart and recognise and acknowledge how he played a Major role in how the Awakening of the Human Race globally came to fruition. "Thank-You" Eckhart.
This is excellent!!! I have found myself rolling along with what sometimes arises, not getting out of shape. Aytother times be being ever so grateful when spirit directs me finding something. I have also worked on keeping my mind blank. It is quite nice. Thank you!
A wonderful talk. The quote from last minute or so "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - reminds me what the WEF is attempting to do. This used to be my idea of utopia, but now I see the consequences of such broad and sweeping actions. The loss of creativity, individuality, and freedom. Another book, which I think speaks to this is H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."
Thank you for this message. The dark forces of the mind can only be overcome by the truth that comes from the light in our spirit. Freedom seems to be the only meaningful concept that permits this to take shape in the physical world. The rest indeed creates hell on earth as is there for all of us to see. Any so called leader who cannot live and lead by example in this manner is indeed a dark force so I’m happy to see the emergence of Eckart Tolle and others like him.
There's clearly more to our reality than we (our biologic sensors, "antennae") can see. For some time, "quantum entanglement" has shown that there is some mechanism of existence that exceeds the speed of light. If two particles are entangled, observing one causes the other to behave as if it were observed. But, it happens instantly, not delayed by distance. (That's clearly some mechanism of reality that hasn't been discovered yet. Something that defies the speed of light which is supposed to be limit on anything that can happen.). Now the "delayed slit" experiment builds upon that incongruity. Observing one entangled particle late causes the other to act like it was observed _before_ the observation happened(!). It's like the observation affects the _past(!)_. This quantum stuff has led physicists to theorizing 10-11 dimensions to accomodate such a reality. We can barely comprehend what living one dimension above 3 would be like, it's beyond our ability to imagine 7-8 more above us. (The best way to comprehend this is to imagine being a 2D person living on a flat plane. All you know is forward/back, left/right. If someone tried to explain "round" to you, it would sound crazy. "Up? what?" You could actually even live on a 3D surface and never comprehend it (unless you walked far enough and ended up back at your starting point) simply because your vision can't see that far, to see the horizon drop off. That would be a shortcoming in your visual "antennae." You would exist rationalizing the limits of your experience. I think that's very correct analogy to our 3D existence. We can't see what's beyond. Our "antennae" (sensors) are blind. We perceive more than snails & slugs. But, in the scale of things, not that much more.).
State of attention is being the observer of your experience, thoughts. Not caught up in your experience & thoughts, just aware that it's happening and not fully who you are in the moment, or what the moment is. If you practice a mindfulness meditation (1st one in my playlist, for example) you will notice that there is a difference between "me in the moment" and "me thinking in the moment; explaining, labeling, resenting, expecting, confabulating." It's like watching a movie. You know it's just a bunch of still pictures. They show it to you at 24-30 frames per second, and suddenly you're _enthralled._ "It's real!" Then they add the "do-do! do-do..." dramatic music to *help* you believe the delusion. You can get all wound up about the swimmer being unaware of the shark below. Then, "wait, there's a cameraman there. This isn't real. She's not in danger." You're mind almost never takes that turn. It _IDENTIFIES_ with the obvious confabulation. It wants to. Your mind works like that ALL the time, in ways you don't notice. There's a you who can step back and realize "I'm doing this to myself." That's the "state of attention" (to what's really going on). If you don't have that, then you tend to be in a state of IDENTIFYING with what's going on, reacting to it (the whole movie experience). IMO, these aren't either/or conditions. The observer's always there. It's a matter of being the observer, utilizing its (your) pure awareness (not losing sight of). If you're ATTENDING to yourself that way (some space between you as that observer, and you thoroughly engaged with the story you're telling yourself), the story or seduction will remain. You just know "that's not me. I'm dissatisfied with the unsatisfactoriness of the moment & need to live in the past or future to spice things up a little for my egoic sense of self." Like when you learned there was no Santa Clause. You wanted to still believe. But, when you know, you know. It cant be un-known. The confabulating self remains. But, knowing (all the time, able to "get there" easily; break out of the mesmerized movie-viewer state) is huge.
@@sandradiazmusic I would say practice that guided meditation I referred to (on the present moment). Once a day, twice a day (once a week. It's not about changing yourself. It's about developing a practice of observance or attendance to your momentary experience, and how much of that experience is self-talk, inner narration. How much is being aware of the moment as it is? Usually it's a lot of the former, and almost none of the latter. And, it's unnecessary chatter in the head, and we don't typically realize we're doing it because we have done it habitually for years/decades). The meditation will direct you to what you should study: how your brain works (often unseen because you don't typically observe it). It's a practice of observing. Not fighting thoughts. Not judging thoughts. Not trying to make anything happen. It's just observation, being present with observation. Knowing the difference between "me in the moment" and "me thinking, explaining, labeling, narrating in the moment." It's something that's directly observable. Developing yourself as the witness of your mind. Over time, what you learn in meditation (what you practice and become familiar with, the "individuation" of your self from your thoughts) will be something you can get to anytime while working, etc. It's not like "I'll meditate, and that should carry me through the day somehow. It will change something in me." It's not that way. You're waking up a part of your mind (the observer) and it will be there all the time (or you can get there easily, without the ideal setting of formal meditation.). I have more to say...
@@sandradiazmusic The thing to be a little careful of is that studying minfulness teachings will lead to mindfulness. It may, but it can also be another "activity" of creating a new identity, learning to be "one of them." I awakened through that video without realizing that "mindfulness" is part of this larger topic of awakening, enlightenment, buddhism, stoicism, etc. I related more to topics of psychology, and that this observance of how the mind works is just in line with psychology. After 5'ish years I saw a reference to Eckhart on a psych channel. I watched one of his videos and felt overwhelmed to hear someone describe what I had learned. It was the first time I felt like "this person knows what I know." But, the sobering part of that experience was my 100% realization that if I'd started with him (or Mooji, or Watts, or Buddhism), I would have gotten hung up on learning everything there is to know about what awakening is, who's wrong, who's right; the different traditions, which translation of the the Tao is best. It would have become a genre I was joining. Wearing the robes and playing the part. I don't think I would have ever realized how simple it is (as Joseph Goldstein says, "if you want to understand how your mind works, sit down and observe it." Everything else is someone's attempt to explain what you'll observe. The more it's explained, the less that's what it is. It's best to observe for yourself. Then you'll see how various teachers' "pointings" resonate with you. "Yeah, I know what he's talking about." Don't try to understand what they're talking about and then seek it. Observe and then relate to what they talk about. Let it happen for yourself.). It's good to listen to these people (I think Sam Harris might have been the one person I could have gotten it from. He's less spiritual, more secular. More observation. Less trappings of traditions.). Pointings are valuable as aides to know what to expect, or to recognize it when you observe it for yourself. But, there's definitely a risk of absorbing too much expectation for what you should experience, trying to experience someone else's experience. Don't identify too much with teachings, or trying to figure out what it is. Just like you shouldn't identify too much with your thoughts. The meditation practice is that middle-way of being (observing, witnessing).
Every time any one dies in the east we say " ina lillah hay wa ina allayhee rajayoon.(Arabic) . to Him we belong and to Him we return .. So the purpose of life is to cleanse ourselves of ego and negative to return to Him in flying colours..
I believe that we human started on earth living in fullest conscious state of being. Gradually taking bodies for births, to act on this earth ,the stage, we souls, the soul has become body conscious, hence fully in awareness. God the ever pure has dependent now encouraging us to become in awareness as the drama has come to an end. All us humans, the souls , have to return in peace and pure State of consciousness, Awareness. And start the cycle of this Drama on earth again. Everyone and every thing begins new and has to get old, renew and start again.🎉
I'm having a hard time not being effected by my husband's actions in my home.he has slowly tore up the house and keeps spending money on his latest idea and literally bringing so much junk cars and tearing them apart and my yard is no exaggeration a junk yard..he doesn't see my problem and he sees nothing wrong.The junk and clutter is hard for me to deal with.
@finn123sk8 but it's not he has a room in the house and the garage. It's a constant struggle to keep it out of the living quarters..he on top of this tore up our bathrooms 10 years ago and tore off the decks of our house. Put a temporary 6 x 6 platform up so we could step out the room it's off of. He is always telling me it's in my head I need to get over it..I don't have company come over anymore there is truly a. 4 ft path sometimes less than that to my front door. ITS mentally draing aproching my home..I'm trying to find ways to deal with it.But it's becoming very hard.
@@christinamadvig1468 I feel you. I was in very similar shoes, became very reactive and finally bowed out of the marriage. You can't nor won't change him. It isn't your job. Meditate, pray and say/think positive affirmations. You deserve a peaceful life. Not chaos and uncertainty. Blessings.
Yesterday I got in between an arguing couple and my life was threatened, it helped to awaken me but I experienced first hand that maye you should not interfere with the matters of others like that
It's hard to navigate domestic disputes. There can be _years_ of toxic dysfunction (practiced unconsciousness). It could be second-nature to them, and they get something from it, triggering each other for reactions, pushing the limits of what is or isn't violence to each other. If they get something from it that way, then an outsider is "breaking them up." You challenging the husband could be like assaulting the average wife (in their heads) when nothing's happening between them. I always remember an old "COPS" episode where they're called to the stereotypical trailer park. Wife has obvious signs of being roughed up. She's telling the police what happened. She's really mad at the husband. It happens all the time. When they arrest the husband, put him in the car, take him away. She's "No! No! Don't put him in jail! Don't worry baby, I'll make you're bail!" (probably a reference to "working the streets" that night to make the money, which would only further inflame him that his wife's going to be with other men). You just never know how out of their mind(s) people can be in a relationship. Best thing is to to observe. Call the police. Laying down your life for another can be a very conscious act. There is a buddhist teaching about a monk who allowed a tiger to eat him, otherwise her cubs would starve to death. One life for 8 lives? (The 60s anti-war immolations used that as justification.). Just because your life is threatened doing the right thing isn't necessarily antithetical to being conscious & doing the right thing. But, domestic disputes are hard to know what's the right thing. There can be a lot of mutual "egging on" of each other.
@@markfuller thank you for the reply, yeah it seems like something similar. I didn't realize to after but the encounter was in front of a funeral home. Could have been a family issue, who knows. But thank you for helping with the learning part of live and learn
The Buddha was sitting by the side of the road when a man walked up to him and said " your fat" the Buddha said nothing and the man walked away. The next day the man returned and said to the Buddha " your fat and your ugly" once again the Buddha said nothing. On the third day the man walked up to the Buddha once again and said " your fat, ugly and you smell" still the Buddha said nothing. The man then said to the Buddha " that's 3 days running I've insulted you and 3 days running you've said nothing, why?" the Buddha replied by asking the man " if you were to offer me a gift and I refuse your gift, then who would the gift belong too? " the man said "well me I suppose", the Buddha then asked " if I refuse to accept the abuse you offer me, then who does the abuse belong too?". The man walked away and never returned again.

Karma means action and unconsciousness.
When you react, you produce more karma.
In any situation, what matters is the state of consciousness you bring to it. The situation itself does not matter.
You pay more attention to your response than what you do with regard to the situation.

Just a week ago i completed reading book by sadhguru "Karma" (the book) - There is a striking resemblance in what these masters are speaking.
He's a WEF shill.

Sadhgurus book "Karma" is extremely profound and explains everything there is about Karma.
A wonderful talk. The quote from last minute or so "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - reminds me what the WEF is attempting to do.

Then, "wait, there's a cameraman there. This isn't real. She's not in danger." You're mind almost never takes that turn. It _IDENTIFIES_ with the obvious confabulation. It wants to.
Your mind works like that ALL the time, in ways you don't notice. There's a you who can step back and realize "I'm doing this to myself." That's the "state of attention" (to what's really going on). If you don't have that, then you tend to be in a state of IDENTIFYING with what's going on, reacting to it (the whole movie experience).
IMO, these aren't either/or conditions. The observer's always there. It's a matter of being the observer, utilizing its (your) pure awareness (not losing sight of). If you're ATTENDING to yourself that way (some space between you as that observer, and you thoroughly engaged with the story you're telling yourself), the story or seduction will remain. You just know "that's not me. I'm dissatisfied with the unsatisfactoriness of the moment & need to live in the past or future to spice things up a little for my egoic sense of self." Like when you learned there was no Santa Clause. You wanted to still believe. But, when you know, you know. It cant be un-known. The confabulating self remains. But, knowing (all the time, able to "get there" easily; break out of the mesmerized movie-viewer state) is huge.
@@markfuller Thank you for explaining Mark, I think I need to study more.
@@sandradiazmusic I would say practice that guided meditation I referred to (on the present moment). Once a day, twice a day (once a week. It's not about changing yourself. It's about developing a practice of observance or attendance to your momentary experience, and how much of that experience is self-talk, inner narration. How much is being aware of the moment as it is? Usually it's a lot of the former, and almost none of the latter. And, it's unnecessary chatter in the head, and we don't typically realize we're doing it because we have done it habitually for years/decades). The meditation will direct you to what you should study: how your brain works (often unseen because you don't typically observe it). It's a practice of observing. Not fighting thoughts. Not judging thoughts. Not trying to make anything happen. It's just observation, being present with observation. Knowing the difference between "me in the moment" and "me thinking, explaining, labeling, narrating in the moment." It's something that's directly observable. Developing yourself as the witness of your mind.
Over time, what you learn in meditation (what you practice and become familiar with, the "individuation" of your self from your thoughts) will be something you can get to anytime while working, etc. It's not like "I'll meditate, and that should carry me through the day somehow. It will change something in me." It's not that way. You're waking up a part of your mind (the observer) and it will be there all the time (or you can get there easily, without the ideal setting of formal meditation.).
I have more to say...
@@sandradiazmusic The thing to be a little careful of is that studying minfulness teachings will lead to mindfulness. It may, but it can also be another "activity" of creating a new identity, learning to be "one of them." I awakened through that video without realizing that "mindfulness" is part of this larger topic of awakening, enlightenment, buddhism, stoicism, etc. I related more to topics of psychology, and that this observance of how the mind works is just in line with psychology. After 5'ish years I saw a reference to Eckhart on a psych channel. I watched one of his videos and felt overwhelmed to hear someone describe what I had learned. It was the first time I felt like "this person knows what I know."
But, the sobering part of that experience was my 100% realization that if I'd started with him (or Mooji, or Watts, or Buddhism), I would have gotten hung up on learning everything there is to know about what awakening is, who's wrong, who's right; the different traditions, which translation of the the Tao is best. It would have become a genre I was joining. Wearing the robes and playing the part. I don't think I would have ever realized how simple it is (as Joseph Goldstein says, "if you want to understand how your mind works, sit down and observe it." Everything else is someone's attempt to explain what you'll observe. The more it's explained, the less that's what it is. It's best to observe for yourself. Then you'll see how various teachers' "pointings" resonate with you. "Yeah, I know what he's talking about." Don't try to understand what they're talking about and then seek it. Observe and then relate to what they talk about. Let it happen for yourself.).
It's good to listen to these people (I think Sam Harris might have been the one person I could have gotten it from. He's less spiritual, more secular. More observation. Less trappings of traditions.). Pointings are valuable as aides to know what to expect, or to recognize it when you observe it for yourself. But, there's definitely a risk of absorbing too much expectation for what you should experience, trying to experience someone else's experience. Don't identify too much with teachings, or trying to figure out what it is. Just like you shouldn't identify too much with your thoughts. The meditation practice is that middle-way of being (observing, witnessing).
Every time any one dies in the east we say " ina lillah hay wa ina allayhee rajayoon.(Arabic) . to Him we belong and to Him we return ..
So the purpose of life is to cleanse ourselves of ego and negative to return to Him in flying colours..
Religion is opposite to spirituality. Spirituality cannot exist in a religious mind.
I believe that we human started on earth living in fullest conscious state of being. Gradually taking bodies for births, to act on this earth ,the stage, we souls, the soul has become body conscious, hence fully in awareness. God the ever pure has dependent now encouraging us to become in awareness as the drama has come to an end. All us humans, the souls , have to return in peace and pure State of consciousness, Awareness. And start the cycle of this Drama on earth again. Everyone and every thing begins new and has to get old, renew and start again.🎉
I like it❤❤❤❤

Good
I'm having a hard time not being effected by my husband's actions in my home.he has slowly tore up the house and keeps spending money on his latest idea and literally bringing so much junk cars and tearing them apart and my yard is no exaggeration a junk yard..he doesn't see my problem and he sees nothing wrong.The junk and clutter is hard for me to deal with.
Not ideal, As long as the junk stays external I wouldn't worry too much about it all
I am so sorry you’re going through this.
@@Fintan33no. That is so difficult to deal with. She is responsible for her husband be he is not responsible for her.
@finn123sk8 but it's not he has a room in the house and the garage. It's a constant struggle to keep it out of the living quarters..he on top of this tore up our bathrooms 10 years ago and tore off the decks of our house. Put a temporary 6 x 6 platform up so we could step out the room it's off of. He is always telling me it's in my head I need to get over it..I don't have company come over anymore there is truly a. 4 ft path sometimes less than that to my front door. ITS mentally draing aproching my home..I'm trying to find ways to deal with it.But it's becoming very hard.

I feel you. I was in very similar shoes, became very reactive and finally bowed out of the marriage.
You can't nor won't change him. It isn't your job.
Meditate, pray and say/think positive affirmations.
You deserve a peaceful life. Not chaos and uncertainty.
Blessings.

Yesterday I got in between an arguing couple and my life was threatened, it helped to awaken me but I experienced first hand that maye you should not interfere with the matters of others like that
It's hard to navigate domestic disputes. There can be _years_ of toxic dysfunction (practiced unconsciousness). It could be second-nature to them, and they get something from it, triggering each other for reactions, pushing the limits of what is or isn't violence to each other. If they get something from it that way, then an outsider is "breaking them up." You challenging the husband could be like assaulting the average wife (in their heads) when nothing's happening between them.
I always remember an old "COPS" episode where they're called to the stereotypical trailer park. Wife has obvious signs of being roughed up. She's telling the police what happened. She's really mad at the husband. It happens all the time. When they arrest the husband, put him in the car, take him away. She's "No! No! Don't put him in jail! Don't worry baby, I'll make you're bail!" (probably a reference to "working the streets" that night to make the money, which would only further inflame him that his wife's going to be with other men). You just never know how out of their mind(s) people can be in a relationship.
Best thing is to to observe. Call the police. Laying down your life for another can be a very conscious act. There is a buddhist teaching about a monk who allowed a tiger to eat him, otherwise her cubs would starve to death. One life for 8 lives? (The 60s anti-war immolations used that as justification.). Just because your life is threatened doing the right thing isn't necessarily antithetical to being conscious & doing the right thing. But, domestic disputes are hard to know what's the right thing. There can be a lot of mutual "egging on" of each other.
@@markfuller thank you for the reply, yeah it seems like something similar. I didn't realize to after but the encounter was in front of a funeral home. Could have been a family issue, who knows. But thank you for helping with the learning part of live and learn
How i laughed 🤣🤣😭😭😭…it all starts with good intentions

What if you can’t control your state in stressful situations?
The Buddha was sitting by the side of the road when a man walked up to him and said " your fat" the Buddha said nothing and the man walked away. The next day the man returned and said to the Buddha " your fat and your ugly" once again the Buddha said nothing. On the third day the man walked up to the Buddha once again and said " your fat, ugly and you smell" still the Buddha said nothing.
The man then said to the Buddha " that's 3 days running I've insulted you and 3 days running you've said nothing, why?" the Buddha replied by asking the man " if you were to offer me a gift and I refuse your gift, then who would the gift belong too? " the man said "well me I suppose", the Buddha then asked " if I refuse to accept the abuse you offer me, then who does the abuse belong too?". The man walked away and never returned again.
