mido zaki I thought I realized it was unnecessary by now but obviously it is unconscious because My life is a mess. I have tried everything. I guess we should blame ourselves for all the pain in life because after listening to all these teachers most of my life. I am back to where I started.
@@julietteSoul If you think of your life as a mess, then it will be a mess. Be grateful for your life and even it's challenges and you will see it shine. When does your life happen besides in the current moment? Is every moment you experience a mess, or is it just those few moments when you have to deal with those circumstances? I personally thought that every moment of my life was a mess. Until I realized how much we make problems out of things that happen. Things happen and deal with them at face value for what it actually is, without adding anything extra through thoughts, expectations and emotions. As we add to what is happening the greater we can create a problem out of it. If there are some serious interpersonal drama, abuse, fighting etc... the only person you can rely on to change it is you.
@@julietteSoul Keep your head up! Everything is always working out for you especially when you don't feel that way! Make a list of atleast 20 things you can be grateful for despite what you're going through, that act will shift your thought process/energy and you'll be able to receive the solutions from God. You can't find the solution if you're too fucused on the present, day dream about the solutions. Negative experiences can be of great value because they help clearly define what it is that we really desire. Meditate, say affirmations, watch inspirational videos of people who were once in your circumstance who are now thriving. You're blessed! This will pass.
@@mohailasibeko Well said! I was thinking the other day, that our life will never be fully, intact. Put together I guess in the way we imagine it to be. We are always going to be challenged by people, circumstances will arise, good and bad things happens happen to everyone. We can't expect or control everything that comes in and out of our life. I personally see my life and my experiences separately. My life, is my physical body in motion and its current state of health. My life is with me every moment 100% of the time, everything else is just an experience that is just temporary in the moment then drifts away when the next one comes and unless it directly physically harms me, it has no effect on my life. Really, I think is the only way to go about our negative and challenging experiences stress free.
This great man was the beggist reason that My life changed in 2010 180 degrees. Before that i was lost, Thinking a lot of commeting suicide . And then suddenley Allah send Eckhart Tolle to show me the right Path.
Thank you Eckhart..I believed I was my thoughts. A psychic once told me " your pain has taken on a spirit of its own" that was the first time i realised what you call the"pain body"existed and took possession of me especially during times of anger and triggering of past traumas. Bless you for speaking even with your throat giving you trouble. I listened to you,and started your book the power of now and literally had to take notes to understand..and then everything clicked. Wow being the observing presence has helped me so much and learning to live in presence. Letting go of the past and the future anxieties has healed so much pain i was carrying with me and replaying things in the mind. Learning my amazing spiritual worth is priceless. I was so inspired..i wanted everyone to feel as I do but It's hard to get others to dedicate themselves to freeing themselves from.. well..themselves, the ego self. Thank you for your work✨💫💜
Not quite. I refer you to Sadhguru. The contrast in ideas. Tolle is letting go of the toxic crap we hold onto keeping us from progressing and Sadhguru speaks of traditional values integrated with today's issues. And Tolle is so patient whereas Sadhguru explains in a way that can make you feel ignorant. I'd like another view on Presence and Awareness.
I just want to give a shout out to Eckhart here... I spent years (decades actually) coming into an understanding of what is being said here. This is pure gold, as far as our human framework is concerned, this teaching is the doorway into truth. (drop the mic)
I agree with you ! This simple information that is giving us the real foundation for spiritual peace ! With out this practicing method , no one will ever get there ! Ty Mr. Eckhart! I truly love you !!👏🏼👏🏼💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am extremely grateful for all the free content provided on RUclips. I have read The Power of Now and enjoyed the book. I have to say though/ there is something extremely powerful in watching and listening to Eckhart Tolle. His peaceful presence and wisdom has helped me and continues to provide comfort through a difficult time in my life. I have been in situations during extreme chaos and I find myself hearing his voice - I instantly go into the present moment and feel the grace of God and peace in the present moment. I am so humbled by the kindness, humility and compassion displayed. Much love to you!
a year later, couldn't agree with u more, he has been doing seminars/retreats for years, & though a seminar/retreat costs $ to attend (i hear there are scholarships) so many are recorded & made available for free to us here on YT. im guessing that this is no accident, that he knows that what he discovered about his own mind can be applied by others to help them relieve some of their own sufferings, & so this has been his mission.
Thankyou Eckhart for not only your teachings but you yourself. Those cheeky little moments of laughter and humour are saving me on a day when I'm full of suicidal thoughts and self hatred x
It's fascinating to me that how precisely you are aware of the games of mind. "The true renunciation is thought.. That is the TRUE SHIFT, without that you can play around for many lifetimes."
Very true: the collective ego. I worked for a very prominent high tech company and I noticed what eckhart is talking about the group ego. At 1st I felt overwhelmed about the cookie cutter of behavior, looks, demeaner, way of posing and speaking but then after a while I got used to it. It was as if a formed a new persona. Very complicated be part of something and remain your own.
interacting with religious people who keep saying our way is the right way we know what you are going through is like basically talking to an unconcious people. Everything makes sense thanks Eckart 🙏
I realized my "Other" today. As I was mindlessly doing the laundry, with my mind on negative thoughts, my "Other" used my new found love of yoga to suddenly pull my head, neck, and shoulders from the cowardly, slumped position of defeat, to a very tall stance of the Child of a King..... effectively popping and straightening, not only my spine, but saying, "Hello! I'm listening. What were you saying? I can hear your thoughts you know?"
This guy is amazing.! We have a truely enlightened person/being right in our midst.! Possibly a once in a thousand year probability. He just turned all my scattered spiritual readings into a laser beam like focus.!
I can never think myself into becoming aware. My ego belittles the mediocrity of my day. My ego demands more of everything.... it even demands more presence so I can then feel more human than my fellow human beings. When presence does come it's so precious. I enjoy it without judgment. Be well.
👍🏻 Always Mr. Tolle, as someone who was using healing techniques for years to recover from traumas THIS was what was missing in all of it. This is the key 🔑 to a wonderful life. 💗
And Lol I must step into thought to comment on these..it’s just a wonderful journey now, since I realize that all that thinking all these years was unnecessary!! 😊
❤ I appreciate Eckhart, his simplistic way of teaching (not going about in riddles) and this channel for posting these videos for literally anyone to see. Much has been said about Eckhart, but whenever I see him, I just want to hug him and thank him for the wonderful gift he has made us see in ourselves. Many Many appreciation for all of you. Thank you.
Were you describing my religious affiliation? “The true renunciation is Thought. That is the true shift. Without that, you can play around for lifetimes.”
This talk is one of the most real discussions about collective identity I have ever come across. I will need to hear it another 99 times to grasp it, but that’s ok. Thank you 🙏
my awareness of the collective ego of my buddhist group -- and why I had to leave -- has become clear. It was clear, but now I feel less alone in the awareness. nice people, but still trapped in ego. The collective ego is so difficult for people to see and break free of -- it made me sad to feel the hold over my fellow Buddhists that was so un buddha. The buddha wasn't practicing Buddhism -- he was exploring the truth and freedom from self-identification.
💖Thank you for this mentoring Eckhart. With your guidance over many years I have understanding and growth that has been and is very important for my journey from chaos to serenity (and the serenity can still disappear but I can at least recognize all this now!) so I am so very grateful for all of the guidance and insights you share. 💞
"Relinquish that which I have to seed future thoughts, which beckons thine heart into fear and loathing." -mE This was written by myself many years ago...or perhaps a phrase borne of pure consciousness? I thought this seems relevant at this time. Thankyou so much Eckhart Tolle for showing me the stillness ♥️
Presence is key when I am truly present when singing I feel like this pure empty space and I feel like the voice that sings can't be me it is a voice beyond words a higher being singing right through me
Am so grateful to you Mr Eckhart Tolle for teaching me to be without unnecessary thoughts , and be ONE with every living things , and the Universe , living in the Now and being conscious that am part of vast where everything happen in his unique way , has bring peace into my life and i enjoy every minuete of It ! Thank you and lots blessings to you always 😍❤️🙇♂️xx
Ha! And you thought all I could do was criticize! Not this time, Herr Tolle. You've done an excellent job with this video. It accurately tells a great deal of valuable information. Now the idea is to be able to use it.
So, I just woke up or I'm still going thru it, I think. And I just feel really lonely, I don't know anyone else who is awake that I can talk to. I feel isolated. All this knowledge and no one to talk to about it. Do I just start asking family/friends if they are awake too? Can someone please tell me- what did you do?
@Suki Hyun May I suggest, first take one conscious breath. Then re-read your question. If you refer rather to awareness in opposed to "knowledge" your angst will likely shift. Another conscious breath right about now would be a good idea. The experience of awakening is an awakening to that which is described as space. The ego has no sure footing in that space. It needs some 'thing' to assure itself that all is well. To borrow from the example Eckhart used about quitting coffee it, the ego, would probably seek out other people/friends who are also trying to quit. An attempt to fill the space so the loneliness/isolation would go away. It cannot exist simultaneously with Being which has now become to some degree the new host. I personally have had musings of starting or joining a "Thoughtaholics Annonimus group for just that reason. Can you imagine asking other people if they would like to stop thinking? Time now for me to take a conscious breath. Join me if you'd like. Feelings of any sort are energy. The ego will use all means to hold onto that energy in order to validate its pseudo importance. Once exposed to awareness, to the light of your Being, to your True Self, it is then assimilated and becomes useful for the purpose of greater awareness. If it turns out you are in fact the only one who is awake anywhere in the Universe, and might I suggest you save yourself the frustration of asking everyone else in the Universe, ha-ha, that is still all that is necessary.
@@suki9317 It was a good question! I clicked your name tag and it appears you have a web page. Is that the case? Oh and I thank you for the surprise. 19 min. is almost chatting in my world:)
The Self is another thought among thoughts. When there is no thought, there is a sense of Spaciousness.....a space that rests in itself that isn't a self at all.
It's a freeing feeling...the tricky part is remembering the beginning of Eckhart's teachings/guidance after The Power of Now. If you slip into the Ego you'll feel the change in you. Anger, complaining about EVERYTHING and so I have been taking notes - now 7 mo.s later i have 3 drawers of notebooks!
Jennifer Carrillo thanks for reply. I have listened to the power of now on audible at least 5 times. It is my favorite book so far. Good idea to take notes, I will give it a try.
@@nicknackninja6111 The place of no thought is what prayer is supposed to mean. By abiding in him you are remaining in this state. Your body is a temple capable of channeling the love of God. Do not defile your own temple. We are all fundamentally infinite immortal energy beings. We are the soul. All connected as one being on a higher level.
I hope you get better soon. Also, noticing that nobody has acknowledged your question, so I will try to start the conversation here. How do we move out of thought and become fully present in the moment? I do one of three things: focus on sound, focus on feelings happening within my body, or I focus on a statement of spiritual truth (this last one is powerfully effective for me, putting me in a state of complete spiritual ecstasy, not the method I'd choose use while driving a car or while speaking with people lol) I struggle to accept my thoughts and at the same time remain aware, and it is a continuous battle, some days I do better at keeping the thoughts from the forefront then others.
But with him they are not awkward, they are full of meaning and calm building of potential of his thoughts. I love his long pauses, they are just so much different than from other people.
Thank you Eckhart..for your videos.Nothing like enjoying my morningCoffee and listening to you for 2-3 Hours...just joined for a year on your website and will take online courses😊 and in will see you live when you're back in the Toronto Area.😁Much Love from Northern Ontario Canada 😊❤
Why is baby yoda so commercialized as a shelf statue? I’d say they need to mass produce an Eckhart Tolle sitting in the chair, in stillness. Ok. I might 3D model and print it for myself. It will be a 3 dimensional gong sound for the present moment whenever I look at it. And thank you, Eckhart Tolle, for sharing your teachings for us all on RUclips. Every 100 years there should be a new you for the people.
It's true, also spirituality can become an addiction. I've experienced some ecstatic states in meditation and I cause myself great suffering by reaching greater ecstasy or the ultimate ecstasy, instead of just accepting what is. The true salvation consists in being at peace in the now, without wanting to change it.
Paul Butler thank you brother for all the information that you give to us my heart is so happy right now I send you love and light and in appreciation with love always Julie Garza from Denver Colorado
Eckhart! Bro! I love every word you say BUT your voice is obviously saying, Hey, let's sit together in stillness until your voice comes back. Bro! hahaha Joy to All :)
5:40. ([It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp.") Quran- qaf- Ayah 22
Oh, I love how you lead spiritual (collective as well as individual) egos to their "slaughter" so lovingly/gently - even though it would be nice to have subtitles since your throat issues make it sometimes hard to understand you there. Thank you so much - and I love the (unintentional?) reference to "the Egg" (see animated shortstory on the @Kurzgesagt - Channel)... Loving inter-human connections to you (you know - not the excluding type of "love" [see "Fish Love" and the ruminations of a Rabbi about it if you look for it on here], but the including kind of Love, that encompasses all of existence - perceived and not perceived and also expresses itself in compassion for other human beings all the time)
@@MrOAKIL246 ..as a matter of fact I have a RUclips folder for Sadhguru's videos. I like when he asks, "Hello?" like- answer me. Who else would you recommend in the same line as Eckhart?
@@jennifercarrillo9547 Yeah he is something else. Ram Dass is another, him and Eckhart actually have a video together and it's a good watch. I believe this is the video where Eckhart talks about smoking weed in Amsterdam.
Mr. Tolle, if you are in Los Angeles for a little while please look up Jesse Lee Peterson. He is a strong meditation teacher and has a show called The Fallen State and it would be amazing to see you two in conversation. Ive watched you on Dave Rubins show and thank you for doing that, it was great.

So cool , you are still on the field , all action.

Time now for me to take a conscious breath. Join me if you'd like. Feelings of any sort are energy. The ego will use all means to hold onto that energy in order to validate its pseudo importance. Once exposed to awareness, to the light of your Being, to your True Self, it is then assimilated and becomes useful for the purpose of greater awareness. If it turns out you are in fact the only one who is awake anywhere in the Universe, and might I suggest you save yourself the frustration of asking everyone else in the Universe, ha-ha, that is still all that is necessary.
@@@dr.macgyvenstein4288 Thank you for this.
@@suki9317 It was a good question! I clicked your name tag and it appears you have a web page. Is that the case? Oh and I thank you for the surprise. 19 min. is almost chatting in my world:)
The Self is another thought among thoughts. When there is no thought, there is a sense of Spaciousness.....a space that rests in itself that isn't a self at all.
Your words bring such peace to all of us here at Powerful U. Thank you Eckhart
Thanks for your teachings, I am reinventing myself and I love what I am becoming but not in an egotistical way 👍
It's a freeing feeling...the tricky part is remembering the beginning of Eckhart's teachings/guidance after The Power of Now. If you slip into the Ego you'll feel the change in you. Anger, complaining about EVERYTHING and so I have been taking notes - now 7 mo.s later i have 3 drawers of notebooks!
Jennifer Carrillo thanks for reply. I have listened to the power of now on audible at least 5 times. It is my favorite book so far. Good idea to take notes, I will give it a try.
Love you Eckhart..Thank you for pointing us back to who we really are..🙏❤️☮️
Thanks for being❤️ send u love!
Thanks Eckhart, always profound , uplifting and told with such warmth and humour
*The only thing that matters is FREEDOM*
Freedom of mind - Freedom of body - Freedom of soul
yet thats a construct/illusion in itself.
Moose Matters
Gods Love brings freedom when we abide in Him
Dude's everywhere.
@@nicknackninja6111 The place of no thought is what prayer is supposed to mean. By abiding in him you are remaining in this state. Your body is a temple capable of channeling the love of God. Do not defile your own temple. We are all fundamentally infinite immortal energy beings. We are the soul. All connected as one being on a higher level.
I hope you get better soon. Also, noticing that nobody has acknowledged your question, so I will try to start the conversation here. How do we move out of thought and become fully present in the moment? I do one of three things: focus on sound, focus on feelings happening within my body, or I focus on a statement of spiritual truth (this last one is powerfully effective for me, putting me in a state of complete spiritual ecstasy, not the method I'd choose use while driving a car or while speaking with people lol) I struggle to accept my thoughts and at the same time remain aware, and it is a continuous battle, some days I do better at keeping the thoughts from the forefront then others.
Please go on the Joe Rogan podcast 👑 you'd help a fuckton of people
HandsomeSexGod That’s a great idea! Eckart would leave Rogan speechless.
y’all wanna be in a group chat together? since our common interests include joe and eckhart? 😳
I'd sell my essence to see that hehe
Tolle can make a lot more paper spending an hour giving a talk than going on JRE. This guys a businessman, a hustler
Joe Rogan is not worted Eckhart time!
His voice! Love to hear ET!!
OMG!!! That was very interesting! Thank You so much. I needed to hear this.
I love when he does the super “awkward” pauses!
But with him they are not awkward, they are full of meaning and calm building of potential of his thoughts. I love his long pauses, they are just so much different than from other people.
Your words are mediTation, thankyou for sharing your knowledge and wisdom
Loved his little joke about Mao at the start of the talk! The humour adds to the allure of his talks.
*throwing herbal sweets and cups of tea at my screen* relief at 7:00, he drings a sip of tea god bless xD
I can't take it! Aah! But I need to hear what he says! aaaah!
Nhameki lol
Get well soon Eckhart!
9 years ago lol. Let go of the past and live in the now haha..
@@mojoejojo6675 Great to hear. Where did you find the date this was recorded?
Blessings and gratitude ...
Thank you, Eckhart
Thank you Eckhart..for your videos.Nothing like enjoying my morningCoffee and listening to you for 2-3 Hours...just joined for a year on your website and will take online courses😊 and in will see you live when you're back in the Toronto Area.😁Much Love from Northern Ontario Canada 😊❤
Thank you about teaching relinquishing thought which is ego! Very helpful!
Why is baby yoda so commercialized as a shelf statue? I’d say they need to mass produce an Eckhart Tolle sitting in the chair, in stillness. Ok. I might 3D model and print it for myself. It will be a 3 dimensional gong sound for the present moment whenever I look at it. And thank you, Eckhart Tolle, for sharing your teachings for us all on RUclips. Every 100 years there should be a new you for the people.
Very grateful. Thank you Eckhart.
KENDRICK BROUGHT ME HERE
I wish I had a friend like you in real life.
Collective EGO is more dangerous than Personal Ego. - @ 12:34
No matter when.....To each....his own.....
Thank you! Eckhart Tolle 💕
It's true, also spirituality can become an addiction. I've experienced some ecstatic states in meditation and I cause myself great suffering by reaching greater ecstasy or the ultimate ecstasy, instead of just accepting what is. The true salvation consists in being at peace in the now, without wanting to change it.
Paul Butler thank you brother for all the information that you give to us my heart is so happy right now I send you love and light and in appreciation with love always Julie Garza from Denver Colorado
Relinquishing throat and death of the voice
I might have been half-paying attention in the past, but I don’t think I’ve seen him write or speak about collective ego before. Very interesting.
Eckhart! Bro! I love every word you say BUT your voice is obviously saying, Hey, let's sit together in stillness until your voice comes back. Bro! hahaha Joy to All :)
Sending love, light and healing. ❤
Wonderful! Thank you.
Why you don't tell us about the wild party of the night before ?
Dankeschön Eckhart 😍
5:40. ([It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp.") Quran- qaf- Ayah 22
I lost my way. Now im trying to go back home.
I believe Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood wrote a song about that.
I know i dont need it..but it would be lovely to meet you in person one day.. bless you Eckhart
Oh, I love how you lead spiritual (collective as well as individual) egos to their "slaughter" so lovingly/gently - even though it would be nice to have subtitles since your throat issues make it sometimes hard to understand you there.
Thank you so much - and I love the (unintentional?) reference to "the Egg" (see animated shortstory on the @Kurzgesagt - Channel)...
Loving inter-human connections to you (you know - not the excluding type of "love" [see "Fish Love" and the ruminations of a Rabbi about it if you look for it on here], but the including kind of Love, that encompasses all of existence - perceived and not perceived and also expresses itself in compassion for other human beings all the time)
Eckhart said "orgy". I love him.
Eckhart cracked a joke to open. It was funny & out of character. I can't wait to see how this one goes.
Jennifer Carrillo he is generally a low key comedian
He is quite funny, if you want more laughs check out Sadhguru
@@MrOAKIL246 ..as a matter of fact I have a RUclips folder for Sadhguru's videos. I like when he asks, "Hello?" like- answer me. Who else would you recommend in the same line as Eckhart?
@@resemblelife A comedian? Seriously? Where? That's got to be a laid back town.
@@jennifercarrillo9547 Yeah he is something else. Ram Dass is another, him and Eckhart actually have a video together and it's a good watch. I believe this is the video where Eckhart talks about smoking weed in Amsterdam.
Mr. Tolle, if you are in Los Angeles for a little while please look up Jesse Lee Peterson. He is a strong meditation teacher and has a show called The Fallen State and it would be amazing to see you two in conversation. Ive watched you on Dave Rubins show and thank you for doing that, it was great.
