- Eckhart Tolle explains the difference between ego and healthy self-esteem. He describes healthy self-esteem as being reasonably satisfied with oneself based on personal achievements, abilities, knowledge, and possessions. However, Eckhart Tolle points out that this form of self-esteem remains a form of ego identification with external factors and comparisons.

Brilliant comment.
So well meaning and good spirited
Key point in the video: Derive your sense of who you are from the formless, the spiritual dimension, not the world of things, not from what you have, or what you can do, or what is happening in the world. Detach from what is happening in the world, be 'IN it but not OF it.'
Self esteem (your value and worth) is always ego based, because once you deal with the need of this (Shadow work) you reach a place where you need no value and worth… because who’s rating it? Who’s needing it? Who’s impressed by it?… inside and out you uncover the place you were, are and always will be…. “I am …I exist” ✨ this is enough.
Why even feel the need to be the I am? By you saying "this is enough", it means you need something. And in some way, it's almost as if you are settling. As in, this is enough, I can settle for this. That's still ego, just a low valued ego.
The reality is, there will always be ego and that's part of What Is. That is part of the I am, everything is. So accept that your ego is part of the I am and value yourself as the material property you are and it is. I absolutely love myself, other than my children I think I might be the greatest thing on Earth lol. That doesn't mean I don't love the rest of everything else, I just feel very lucky to be who I am, which as everything is, is part of the greater I Am. That's a healthy ego, acceptance of what is, which includes the ego. Not just all material property but even thoughts, ideas, concepts, anything you could touch or think of, is part of the I am. Love it all ❤
@@TheLuckyShepherd
I’m very happy for you. You sound nearly as content as “I am.”
@@TheLuckyShepherd
Btw… “there’s no need to be the I am” I have not said that, I spoke of uncovering “I am” that is always there. And my observation of that being enough was from a place of love to others struggling… what you speak of is the attachments that will always pass. When they do, you’re left with “I am”. Wishing you peace 🙏🏻
The value and worth is part of I am. I am knows it's worth and value naturally.
@@luciehawaii
“ I am” is before duality so doesn’t see value or undervalued, worth or worthlessness. It’s our divine essence.
... if all you ever do
is love yourself enough
to allow yourself
to be yourself
regardless what others ask
everything you need
will come into your life
for the best way
to serve others
is to love yourself
enough ... 💫
thank you Eckhart 🙏
Wow, this video nails it! Moving beyond ego-driven self-esteem to find true worth in the formless self is a game-changer. Who else is ready to ditch the comparison trap for genuine self-worth? 🌟
I am! But how???
My self-esteem comes from my true Self. I surrender my false self which identifies with the past. The past forms have no power over the present moment. Thank you sir. Gratitude and joy
Thank you for sharing. Ultimately though, all self esteem come from the ego and not from the true Self. In addition, it is incorrect to refer to "my true Self." What is it then that is experiencing "true Self?" In this thinking you have created duality, a Self that is mine to have. No, the only reality is Self. There is no other. Even ego is not another, it is only delisional thinking about Self and is in fact the unreal.
❤Thank you so much Eckhart Tolle. I love this. It keeps me grounded. It helps me not to forget whom I am. ❤
Maybe Eckhart is our "White Guru."
he is very humorous😊 easy to take his teaching to heart❤
thank you🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Master Tolle! Great, as usual! ❤
Eckhart’s humor is so underrated lol
I never find myself feeling good about something in my life because somebody else has less. That's a very insecure form of self esteem. You will be rattled very easily! lol As a musical person, one of my biggest inspirations has been the artist Missy Elliott, and in ways that are all form, she's much more successful than I may ever be, but I'm not bothered by that. She's fulfilling her own journey that no one else can duplicate. I can admire her music and videos without feeling like I'm lesser than. She's a big advocate for people being their true authentic selves.
We need a 'realistic' sense of self... acknowledging our strengths and our challenges, appreciating our values... our worth should come from inner acceptance of our true self❤
Keeping ego in chains is quite a job. I am most impressed by the structures you use.
... our value to others
defines how we see our self,
our value of self
determines how we are seen ...💫
thank you Eckhart 🙏
I am that I am.
It’s like this video is for me directly. My family is always thinking about how I can play piano, competing at golf or something. Accusing me of being that way “playing guitar in the dark” and I’ve been struggling with the temptation to do it. But it’s painful and unsatisfying.
I AM is Oneness. No separate parts/bodies to compare...Oneness ❤
Thanks Eckhart! 💜🌷💜
Bendiciones infinitas. Gracias siempre 🙏 💜 🙇🏼♀️ 🌈
This is and has been very helpful in recovery from addiction(s).....
Those who forget the past........
.... (nope!).....
ARE FREE OF IT
That is such an excellent description. Thank you.
Contentment is a healthy self esteem
Thank you we love you❤❤❤
Just my own opinion of course, but on a scale of 0 to 100 and 50/50 being a perfectly balanced opinion of self, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going up to 60 when we do nice or good things and equally nothing wrong with going down to 40 when we make mistakes and are not at our best, but anything over 60 or under 40 is an inflated or deflated ego that could do with a little working on. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Eckart lowers the blood pressure of any adult.
Thanks!
Thank you 🤍
You made me realise who I am!
Thank you very much 🫶
it was great thank you so much 😍😍
Thanks
People tend to think that the "mind" and the "body" are the whole of themselves, but they don't realize that there is another level of self: the perfect "observer".
When you observe your thoughts, you feel that you are the observer, you know that you have a lot of troubles, thoughts running around in your head, you are the observer, not the voices and troubles in your head, and you feel at peace.
It's like observing cars on the road, you know that you're not the cars, you're just the observer observing the cars, you're at a distance from the cars, you're not affected by them, you're just observing them; In the same way, when you are observing the troubles and thoughts in your head, you know that you are not the troubles and thoughts in your head, you are just the observer observing the troubles and thoughts in your head, and there is a distance between you and the troubles and thoughts in your head, you are not affected by them, you are just observing them.
When you're observing the thoughts, you are the observer, you are observing, knowing, the sounds and the troubles in your head are working, so you the observer, are at a distance from the sounds and the troubles in your head, you're separated from them, you don't seem to be affected by the sounds and the troubles in your head, you just observe them calmly and know that they're working, so you are freed from their bondage, so the pain is reduced, and you are at peace.

I absolutely agree from a deeper knowing. But isn’t it fun to see that this is so close to ignorance too?… many live their lives as the observer of pain and strife and somehow stay the observer of this…we are all guilty in some ways… look at the recent strike on a children’s hospital… we’re the observers yet we don’t ever jump up and scream and shout this war / any war needs to stop… (sorry went off topic slightly, but I agree, as the observer (i am) we watch all our personal struggles and stay a healthy distance which reduces / eliminates bad mental health experiences ✨🙏🏻
They are not our thoughts, they are not even really about us, the mind produces thoughts and we observe the thoughts the mind produces, our minds will produce whatever thoughts, feelings, fears and worries our minds chose to produce there is nothing we can do or even need to about our minds thoughts, without our attention and involvement the mind will sort itself out just fine. Leave the mind alone to do it's own thing and the mind will leave you alone to do your own thing. It's extremely simple, but of course simple isn't necessarily always easy and for most people it takes time and practice 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It’s when intuition interrupts our chatter that’s when person gets to die and God speaks through us (not religious btw) source, essence, Universe, I am etc etc that, that wasn’t constructed by “person thought intervention” ✨
@@johngreen4683
I just looked back after posting my last comment just to check in where it came from and I know it came through me not from me… “person” is very quiet these days… intuition is a very beautiful place to observe from… it “does you” you “don’t do it” if this makes sense ✨
@@randomelvis3359 good luck to you, if something makes you happy without making anyone else unhappy then what's not to enjoy. I dislike religion because of its attempts to condition peoples minds into thinking and believing only what the religion tells them to think and believe, but anything that isn't dogmatic and my way or the highway is fine by me. Conversation is wonderful and interesting whilst Conditioning is cruel and dishonest. There are many paths to the top of the mountain, and to each their own, and as long as everyone reaches the summit what does it matter which path they choose 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love your laughin. Tina with love ❤
감사합니다 고맙습니다 사랑합니다 선생님 🩵

Please add English subtitles to the videos so that viewers from other countries, like me, can translate them accurately into their own language. There are no translations in the last videos.

You are so cute Eckhart Ji❤🥰

hi, when was this recorded?
✨
I struggle with the temptation to do it. Because I have spiritual powers in the world of form, which I kind of regret manifesting for myself, because now I feel so much temptation and willpower like I feel pressure to use them? Willpower to use them? Like because I have them I have to go and save the world. But the world turns yellow and my frontal lobe hurts. And when I am alone and not tempted by the world of psychic infidelity, I feel like my true self. The world is indigo. There is no pride in spiritual gifts because it’s a spiritual world and there is no lack of spiritual stuff.
I didn’t expect everyone to be so shocked by spiritual powers. So it’s given me the temptation.
It's all an illusion He's also a great comedian 😅
"To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! As tho' to breathe were life!" (Ulysses: Alfred Lord Tennyson). Self Esteem & Ego are "meaningless" concepts which burden the soul. They do not "exist" but are said to exist, for they are brought into existence through vacuous "forms" , "shapes", and "Ideas." Such existence is porous, lacking in tangible , substantive merit. "Purpose" is what must exist in that it represents the "whole", as a determinate , elastic connection of "binary fragments." A musician has purpose. Such purpose is "innate", as its structure was "pre determined" prior to birth. In order to ascertain a method by which life is conducted, your purpose must be resolute in what transpires through the mind, body, and soul. "Purpose" can only be defined through God.
Eckhart is so cute 🥰😂…from the Wall Street bank to prison, much easier! 😂🙏🏻
🎉🎉
How can I do to watch the entire video ?
Always needed concious love but couldn't find access to it im surrounded by unconscious 😞 ill let you guys know if i ever make it out of this dark place
@EckhartTolIe thanks so much amazing to hear back from you! Recently my energy has improved alot more I've been expanding my career in music gradually and embracing my culture which has helped my confidence alot it's been a gradual process but I know progress is being made and I can't thankyou enough for your incredible wisdom
My Master, master echkart. Please show me the way
@EckhartTolIe okay..I mean no offense. Your teaching is the only one I follow or that makes sense to me. So thank you so much for every.
Funniest Guru ever❤😂
From wallstreet to allstreet or to fallstreet...😅
Not sure, we are social creatures and the people you deal with reflect your worth. If you’re bullied or isolated it’s detrimental for self worth and its not due to your own comparing. You can’t transcend this away.
If you discard your past, your identity, all self definition… self esteem is just meaningless nothing. Ramblings of a mind long gone.
1:01
Healthy self esteem is eventually not enough.
Self esteem means you are satisfied with the forms of the person when compared with others.
Identification with forms.
Depend on forms for your value.
It isn’t satisfying in the long run.
It’s all illusion.

7:13
True power and worthiness come from realisation of formless dimension.
It’s not comparative.
You see it in everyone.
9:36
Suffering may get you to no-self transcendence easier than coming from superficial happiness.
Thanks Eckhart. 12 July 2024. ☘️🍹🍇🍪🍇🤡🤲🤡🐿🍒🤣🤣🌈
I’ve, thought about the relationship of ego and self esteem for quite a while. My opinion differs from Eckhart somewhat in that I’ve believed that ego… also known as false pride in some circles,is that state of mind that we all have as adults. It’s fed by how we want people to see us, to be revered , envied, admired, accomplished,smart, strong,intelligent,got it together….and any other positive character attribute. But seal esteem….ah that’s how WE know ourselves deep down inside…with all the warts, insecurities faults and that the roles we play and masks we wear …are but lies ,facades to gain admirations. Knowing that our egos present an imposter…our true self esteem suffers. We say IF THEY ONLY KNEW THE REAL ME THEY WOULD. OT ACCEPT OR LIKE ME.thus there’s an inverse relationship between.ego and self esteem. My goal in what life I have left, is to have an equal balance of both. Both reflecting my true self. Already I sense contentment and joy. But more work to be done.
@@johnfloyd6566
Know thyself.
You are God. So is everyone else. How much more can you esteem yourself or others?
Gos doesn’t get satisfaction from comparison. He is all of them! He plays all roles.
I like my ego because it’s a wonderful toolkit for me to operate in spacetime while my body lasts, provided I use this toolkit properly.
Car is a wonderful tool in providing convenience and freedom provided we drive it properly.
Have fun in your earthly journey.

I was talking to my family about Spirituality and they thought I was Crazy or something
I think it's the level of spirituality you speak of that determines how most people respond to your words. If you start telling people there is no I and trying to convince them to believe this then naturally people will struggle to take you seriously. Sometimes when we find something that is so good for us personally it's natural to want to share it with others but we have to remember that our personal beliefs and opinions are not universal facts that everyone everywhere will be interested in and want to listen to 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nothing wrong with the self. The Vedas say the problem is in the FALSE identification, NOT in the self or identity or individuality. It's true there are roughly speaking two schools; one wich says that the self and the Self (the Ultimate Reality - Brahman) are one and the other which says we are simultaneously same AND different and can develop a relationship which in reality we all are actually looking for.
I agree with much of what you say here, there is nothing wrong with self, but mistaking ourselves for our minds sense of self is where the problems begin, and in truth end. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
There is no any self in fact, so self esteem is always false
Who wrote this? 😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
dººb!
The problems are two: unchained capitalism and populism. Less and less artists and politicians could be longer authentic. Algorhitms managed to maximalise views, without rules are killing everything. It leads to burnouts, anxiety and depression. Only system where authentic self-realisation is available can lead to utilitarism.
from Wallstreet to prison ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it’s the same as being “high value” which makes me laugh bc it’s so absurd
Lord Jesus please give me strength. Lord I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.💕
Let me break this down as I see it, logically.
That is the point, A true so called teacher or guru should have one explanation answer that should suffice the need for any questions asked by their subjects congregation, but dont, so what does that tell you, teachers and gurus' dont have a clue and therefore send you in the same revolving door of confusion they are in.
How can the teacher use and say, quote: " as a human BEING evolves" when that does not fit with the teachers consciousness being the be all end all of things. ie his teachings have nothing to do with the physical aspect of a human being biology evolving and now he wants to use it.
Ok, here we have ESTEEM being given to the teacher by the confused congregation, " well they must be confused otherwise they wouldn't need to be there seeking". After receiving ESTEEM, the teacher now has SELF-ESTEEM or to make it correct by the teacher, it's healthy SELF-ESTEEM which manifested into healthy no HYPHEN selfesteem which is now manifested as ASSERTIVENESS upon others. This is true and to justify it by saying one is satisfied who they are, such is the case, then to confirm ones own satisfaction beliefs, one requires the ESTEEM ADMIRATION from others, such is the case. This is the only BASIS of for any teacher and guru. This is true, quote;" as one gets older" and proof is right there when comparing early an older videos. Superficially speaking of course.
