- When Eckhart visited the Dalai Lama, one thing that surprised him was how people react when Dalai answers: "I don't know" to some questions. In this video, we're going to learn how not knowing can be powerful. Subscribe to find greater fulfillment in life: bit.ly/EckhartYT

One Eckhart Tolle video a day, keeps the unconsciousness away. 🙏
😂👍🙏
I agree whole heartedly! I love having access to Eckhart’s wisdom on a daily basis. He has transformed my life. 🙏
❤️ what a true and lovely comment ❤️ love it
LOL! This is so good!! 😂👍🏼 Plus, the irony of it: with that kind of humour, you don't need Eckhart's teachings at all... ;)
Hahahahha love it ❤️🙏🏽
I love how waiting for him to speak reminds you to take a breathe, somehow.
Definitely! That's something I always feel as well
I am so grateful to have Eckhart in my life. He has restored my sanity. I listen to his wisdom every day and it restores the balance between Human and Being. Thank you from NZ Eckhart. 🙏

When the teacher called upon me, I stood up and proudly said "I do not know."
-- Mark Twain
When you say "I don't know" thinking stops and you allow inspiration to enter awareness. You are briefly in spirit.
Beautiful analogy😊
I don't know how I will be able to pay my rent on December 3rd. Im trying to keep hope alive and watching eckhart for inspiration. Hope everything works out
It doesn't have to be brief

Not knowing is the most powerful enemy of ego!!!
For your ego, my ego is the fact i identify with what im not.
When we are born we enter this world with no mind made self. We are conscious and unconditionally ourselves just like an animal. As time goes on and our intellectual ability expands, through conditioning of the human collective, we begin to think and develop a mind made self that takes us away from our true essence. As a 19 year old, I am letting go of all the layers the mind has placed on me and just as Eckhart said “developing a balance” between the two. We’ve never lost who we truly are, we just become unaware of it over time. Period.
There is 0 shame in not knowing something and being open about it. It's _much_ better than always feeling the agitation of having to come up with excuses and lies
I absolutely agree with you! For some people it’s so hard to say I don’t know or understand, I do not have that problem and I try to search for the answers.
The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived;
Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears. When you abide as that in which it appears instead of identifying; nothing has a grip on you; if anything comes; it quickly goes; like clouds passing; only if you identify as a cloud then it will appear as if the cloud is here for longer than it is originally supposed to; if you simply rest as the awareness and do not identify; it will quickly dissolve; be unconditional love by being aware of being aware; this is the highest; this is what you are seeking in absolutely everything else; you are seeking yourself; you are seeking unconditional love; but you are looking outside of yourself; instead of being aware that you already are unconditional love. Love love
That's one of the things that bugs me about politicians. They never say "I don't know". Instead they pretend like they know while saying a load of words that completely avoids the question. It's hilarious and very annoying at the same time.
@@sandragustafsson3125 It is... but in essence it is a defense mechanism. It helps me to feel a bit of compassion for them to see it from that angle
@@TheDhammaHub Maybe...but at the same time, they have been trained to do that. I'm a bit involved in politics myself, and there are entire courses dedicated to teach politicians to avoid answering questions. So...I feel no sympathy for our kind.
“I don’t know” is probably the most profound thing I heard. Many, including myself, have a very hard time admitting that.
Yes..but why do we resist so much? Knowing give you the illusion that you have the control??

He is so in the moment, he doesn't mind if he is speaking slow, very cool
I love it every time Eckhart chuckles. Makes me smile!
His chuckle is so sweet
Not knowing is complete freedom with humble acceptance. Opens the desire to know and the possibility of knowing.
Knowing everything is just our own perception through our ego identification.
Everytime "I" watch Eckhart, I just feel so grateful to be able to have this access to his teachings.
Just saying "I don't know" opens up the space for presence. The art of letting go of the incessant mind chatter.
"The tao belongs neither to knowing nor not knowing. Knowing is false understanding; not knowing is blind ignorance. If you really understand the tao beyond doubt, it's like the empty sky. Why drag in right and wrong?" ~Alan Watts
Thanks Eckhart for your wonderful service to the world ❤️
Eckhart likes to explains things in a way that us simple minded folk can undersstand
Eckhart does not mean the "not knowing" of ignorance but rather the "not knowing" of the beginner's mind as it's called in Zen.
@@onreact exactly(:
You are dead wrong, you should read the book of not knowing by Peter Ralston.
Not Knowing is the most significant thing to be misunderstood
@Psycedelic_Actualization "The tao belongs neither to knowing nor not knowing.'
Assuming that to be true; how does he know that?
Knowing of not knowing is real knowing.
The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived;

@@YaTut169 thank you 🌹
@@YaTut169 While your comment is true in general it's not always helpful to copy and paste it below very different comments as if it was a direct response.
As Tolle says, the world does not need more conceptual knowledge, what it needs is wisdom.
If you say you don’t know something, you open a door to learn and find out what you don’t know.. People who act like they know everything, only because their ego over expanded
Before you listen to this; I wanted to tell you, that you are beautiful and exceptional. Also your a phenomenal human being; I love you and I hope more positive experiences will start happening in your life, if they haven't already. Keep moving forward my friend; start adopting positive and beneficial habits & behaviors. Eat healthy and treat yourself with kindness, in addition to others also. Fair well my friend; God Bless you 💖
Unio Brainwave, Thank you for taking the time to share love.
Same to you. Be blessed and stay awesome. Namasté 🙏

GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I also realize this when working with my patients: whenever I give the very honest answer that I do not know an answer or a solution to their problem / symptoms usually something fruitful comes from that. At least those patients who do not see a doctor as a miracle / external fix for their problems they start a process of co laborating with me and finding a way towards their own, individual healing
Not knowing and being ok with not knowing helps you find peace
I like how hes taking his time to speak any sentence ...
There you are again, being all the wonderful things you are. Being. Being you. Here I am again, smiling at you Eckhart and my heart is so thankful to be constantly blessed despite all the chaos of the world, and that you are here. You. Who comforts, reminds, teaches. You ,who says so much with or without words. Thank you so much dear, gentle guide ♥️E♥️, for endless light in presence.
So very kind and helpful. Love, respect and gratitude🙏
I feel it. So grateful for this human Being.... he has been such a wonderful force to help the world awaken. SO Grateful this morning and every day for Eckhart!

Wow. I was just thinking to myself that "it's okay man. You don't need to know. All you need to know is everything will be okay." And this video was recommended.
The pauses gives me a peace and i learn patience. I thank you for that
You are so elegant in your teachings as well as having that perfect bit of comedy/laughter.
Beautiful. Such an endearing smile can convey nothing but the truth.
His laughing @7:21 is soo lovely! I just love hearing Eckhart laugh :)

@ThatOneGirl If it were up to the world to make us happy, we would be waiting a long time 🤣🤣
Knowing knows not what it knows apart from itself. The sky would not discriminate between the clouds.
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! We are all about healthy aging to prevent and reverse disease. The key is to retain a strong body, a calm mind, and a positive outlook. Getting older at any age does not have to mean getting sicker. We're doing research on sites like this to make our new Health-Aging Advice channel a success. We hope to inspire others and pass along a bit of wisdom. Learned a lot here. Thank you.
I am grateful to you Eckhart, for being my teacher.
How inspiring, thsnk you and god bless you and all 1❤ 1🌎
@@joeyondakeys Thank you so much for your kind words. We agree with you that attachment to the past or to anything else can result in disappointment and stress. Embracing change is fun and enlightening. Learning new things and meeting new people keeps us young and vibrant.
I have rediscovered the happiness I've had as a child, largely through Eckhardt's teachings. However when the ego pops through, it tells me I should strive for 'ultimate pleasure' - my essence tells me this goal is a delusion.
Awakening is the end of the need to know!🌏❤️
Wise words Ariana ❤️🙏
For myself once I became awoken I just wanted more and more. My spiritual teacher told me to slow down and just live in the moment .

A new Eckhart Tolle video, and it's my birthday. Coincidence? I think not.
Despite being 35 old and having issues for decades this guy seems like he’s arrived at the right time I found in his talks “golden nuggets” that clarified things and made me feel not alone…
I’ve yet to learn from this man. I have seen just a little stuff and it already made a huge impact on my life like anything ever!! Made me see a lot of things differently and for that I thank you so much. I will never stop learning and getting closer to my true self.
Thankful and grateful for Eckhart
Thank you for this message Eckhart! Every time I don't know the answer to life's challenges I get frustrated so knowing that I can be a "valley" and just flow with it is transformative.
What’s a life challenge ur going through right now?
I used to always have to know what was going to happen. It made me feel in control. But after listening to the talks of people like Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle I have learned that is impossible. Life is like a wave. A surfer does not try to control the wave, he merely tries his best to ride it.
Boom! What hv u tried to let go in ur life so far?
And we are always jumping timelines, just try to keep your focus on what you really want and you will create it. For myself keeping myself focused can be a great difficulty.
@@cindyfitzgerald4500 what’s YOUR biggest challenge right now?
@@MindNow i feel that I’m stuck in a rut. I know so much but still don’t remember a lot except parts of a past life. I have great difficulty meditating and keeping my thoughts on positive thoughts. Thank You for asking, any advice you can give would be appreciated greatly!
@@cindyfitzgerald4500 meditation isn’t about ALWAYS having positive thoughts Cindy. First of all, u need to know what kind of meditation u want to do and for which purpose? After that I can assist u further (at least I try my best since I’m NOT a guru)
We love to label ourselves. We attach to these labels because it gives us an identity and a sense of security. When in reality we're afraid of living in uncertainty. Labels create a fake sense of security.
People think he is a mountain, but actually he is a valley!
The space between the words is what that matters. Valley is the space
I want to live in a perpetual state of not knowing. I would be content to be a witness.
I love you, Eckhart.
"You" is an illusion and can not love someone else because there is no one else except you🙏❤🙏
I am learning a lot about this aspect lately. I have found that the less I know the better I am and the less issues I place on others…as knowing makes me think too much. I am trying to find a happy balance between knowing and not knowing. Thank you again Eckhart 🙏💜🙏
Encounter every experience as though you created it within the self, not knowing the outcome..
When you wait for the end of problems, you create new problems. Problems are conceptual.

There is a spirit ego in everyone. The illusionary self is the intellectual human brain which include the body, mind , emotions and consciousness. But when we go beyond these aspects, we will encounter the spirit ego which operates the world of matter via the intuition.
Through deep intuition, we develop conviction. Conviction is what feeds the human spirit. This is not an illusion. It is incumbent on every human soul to use this platform to develop themselves.
Thank you so much, Eckhart Tolle! I am still learning a lot of things here in my journey in THE EARTH SCHOOL as how Gary Zukav describes earth. I am still on the verge of learning how to be CONSCIOUS and be PRESENT all the time. Thank you so much for helping me to spend my day beautifully with so many unconscious people.
One thing I do know, Eckhart: you are wise, you are amazing and you're funny!
Thank you so much for sharing this experience!
Best to you always!
You are such a piece of enlightenment, ur “power of now” book shifted me to a whole another dimension and I tasted happiness again by you enlightenment tutorial. Definitely if I’ll have a son he will be named as u.

Awareness, Observation and Presence silence what a pleasure
Thank you!🕊If you finally admit that you don't know,knowledge becomes your good friend and a good friend always helps at any time and moment if you need his help.🙂
The silence between sentences when Eckert speaks :))))
I know what I should know when I should know it by divine guidance - that which I do not need is not known to me.
Many years of our life has been passed to know that "we really don't know anything"❤️
Then journey starts 🌟
For me, what is REAL is what carved a canyon through my Soul.

“I don't know”. The realm of conceptual thinking isn't important any more.
The point of departure is that you don't need to know conceptually.
The mind takes up the position of opinion and judgement.

Thank you Eckhart for sharing this message! This is true power, - to know that you don't know and be okay with it.
You once quoted J.K. “ I don’t mind what happens” love that as well.
Seeing Eckhart once a day, makes my day 🙂
Knowing Can Be A Lot Of Responsibility For Many People.
Thank you Eckhart Tolle 🙏
beginner's mind: becoming aware of, already invisibly existing, universal and creative well-being possibilities.
The process of ripening into beginner's mind and because of it becoming more aware of universal, CONSCIOUS and creative well-being energy presence, that is encoded with already invisibly existing well-being possibilities and that is also simultaneously able to allow those well-being possibilities to come forth into visibility.
He certainly knows what he’s talking about.
He does not know. He only explains what the universal consciousness shows him. That's a difference. Knowing is a function of mind. After enlightenment the mind is mostly useless.
😂
Onreact Woooosh again
Lol the guy thinks his mind is useless. Lol good one mind, good one. I love you. You never cease to amaze me. 😘😍
@@aurelienyonrac The guy has a name and he is here. You don't have to be rude just because you disagree. Just listen to Eckhart a little longer and you will find out that his mind activity has dropped by 80 - 90% after enlightenment because he does not dwell on useless negative thoughts.
Thank you.
Amazing. Timeless wisdom🙏🏼
Adorable Wice Master Eckhart , lovesss from İstanbul Turkey
When you know what you know and what you don't know you become aware of yourself
That does not suffice. Only when you let go knowing completely you can attain enlightenment.
I'm sure the Daili Lama enjoyed you so much. I am a follower of you, and you keep it real.
Thank you, as I have read your book and listened to you I have become more at peace. I had a big ego, and people expected me to know the answer now I don't feel like I have to have the answer since I retired and listened to you. Thank you and namaste`
