      But why laugh out loud? When it is obvious that he is talking about real felt struggle.. This video was meant for people who needs to hear this, Yes? & people who needs to hear this, doesnt have the capacity to laugh about it or even close to laughing about it. I feel like crying about it, because we are talking about real struggle, rigth? Is this just a hobby for people to feel superior? because that is how it feels, when we reach out, in search of an answer, for our struggles. So I am obviously bieng the opposit of superior here & maybe demeaning, when I ask for descreteness, while having the knowledge, that struggle is not something to be laughed at, because its the reason for evil, anger & fury in our lifes

      @@elastiv I can understand where you are coming from. If I had watched Mr. Eckhart a few years earlier, I would have likely felt the same as your comment. However, Mr. Eckhart is not coming from a place of looking down upon those who struggle, or minimizing the struggles of others. He is not expecting you to laugh either. His light jokes are coming from a place of love and understanding. If you are struggling, it is important to let yourself feel the ‘bad’ emotions. You are allowed to feel negatively. But it is also important, after some time of sitting with your feelings, to begin healing so that you don’t become stuck (in the past, in a situation, etc). And the way you do that is by allowing yourself to let go and allow happiness into your life. Of course, I don’t know your situation, and depending on it, it could be more or less difficult to let go of your feelings after a while. But, the important thing is that you try. Going back to Eckhart’s weight lifting analogy. Trying to let go is like curling some 10 pound weights. It will feel very difficult at first, and you probably won’t make it very far. Eventually though, you will have enough strength. Then you start to feel more peace, and you’re curling 15 pound weights. You get what I’m trying to say. No one is more superior. A college student is not ‘inferior’ to their professors. They simply have more things to learn, and that’s not a bad thing. Another thing to remember is that with awakening your mind, it is an uphill battle, and no one begins at the top of the hill. Even Mr. Eckhart himself started at the bottom of the hill. Sorry for the long reply; I hope this made you feel a little better or get some clarity. Love and light to you

    I am 83 and going through a long period of physical challenges to wit I do not believe this time I will recover. We all know that something will take us out sooner or later and this time I’ve met my match. My husband does not fully accept my conclusion but that’s ok. Thank goodness I “found” Eckhart these last two years;better late than never. And I was always a late bloomer according to my beloved Mother. Thank you Eckhart for being with me on the latter days of my journey…you were truly God sent or my version of a Higher Being. I am taking my ego-mind with me to the end, but at least he knows that he is no longer in the driver’s seat, but an old companion/passenger in the back seat who no longer holds the road map to my life’s adventures.

      Facing your troubles head-on without denial is an important step, and you've taken it. Good for you.
      Life and health are amalgamations of many factors. I've done many things right consistently, but I was missing sanctity, prayer and worship. Eckhart Tolle gave me the proper way to pray: being present and fully bringing yourself forth. And through Paul Chek I found my saint or deity, Quan Yin. She is a very powerful boddhisattva of compassion. I will pray for your suffering to alleviate tomorrow, because I believe in you. Much Love,

    "If you don´t escape, if you allow the suffering to be there, if you are ready to face it, if you are not trying somehow to forget it, then you are different. Suffering is there but just around you; it is not in the center, it is on the periphery. It is impossible for suffering to be in the center; it is not in the nature of things. It is always on the periphery and you are the center.
    So when you allow it to happen, you don´t escape, you don´t run, you are not in a panic, suddenly you become aware that suffering is there on the periphery as if happening to someone else, not to you, and you are looking at it. A subtle joy spreads all over your being because you have realized one of the basic truths of life, that you are bliss and not suffering."

      But many people believe they can sit at home and never socialize in the real world and read or watch RUclips about life and culture and they think they can achieve all the things in your list.
      They wonder why they have no friends and act oddly in public now. Zero self awareness. Zero social awareness.
      And they refuse to do the work. They want the same things others have handed to them without any work. They will latch onto and try to ride someone else's backs to get partners and friends etc. And it fails.
      I can't seem to get it into their heads that maybe having a shower, buying new clothes, being somewhat presentable, and having manners in public matters. And those things are NOT simple.
      And then they get defensive. They don't want to do the work. They want it to be handed to them.
      And they want to make everything about their rights....as in, they want the right to dress horribly and dirty, scream in restaurants, be overbearing towards others, and unhygienic, and so on.
      They want the right to not participate in a society that suppresses them?
      Having manners is not a form of suppression put upon them. They just don't get it.
      One individual told me it didn't matter if they looked attractive, showered, hygienic, and had no manners ....it only matters if the people they meet or want to date are "perfect".
      They got so used to doing everything alone they forget how to live and then defend that right.
      I don't get it.
      I've moved on from those folks that eventually disappeared into their basements and computers.
      And these are folks "without" mental health issues.
      They just lost their way.

    I wanted to thank you! A while ago, I was really confused because I kept getting advice from everyone that felt entirely wrong, and I couldn't figure out where the discrepancy came from between what I knew and felt and what they tried to convince me of - some had selfish reasons, but some clearly did mean well. In that situation, one of your videos recommended "A course in miracles", as not being for everyone, but being helpful for some. It was a revelation, thank you!! Sometimes what people perceive on the outside is not even close to what is really going on. And you can trust yourself and the other - but sometimes it can be immensely helpful to get an explanation mirrored back to you that fits your experience! Thank you!!

    Whether willingly or painfully, suffering always opens a path for you.
    You can choose to see a Light in it or you can choose to remain in the darkness, in the inability to realize your mistakes or rather your unawareness.
    Maybe you can't choose it happens by itself. Honestly, I don't know.
    ✨However, whoever sees that Light can at least choose not to close their eyes.

The result was a challenge that ended up being a spectacular opportunity for amazing growth. I would not have volunteered for that, but am so grateful for it.

      I think other spiritual teachers are bad for humanity because they talk in circles. Echhart says, we all have this power, it is right in our faces. We can't get rid of it and all we have to do is clear the clouds away and be in it. Simple, uncomplicated and worth the effort. I have been meditating for a year now and it is getting more and more peaceful in my life. From the start of meditation i felt peaceful feelings. Now the bad emotion are in check too;

    Being intoxicated makes you feel happy momentarily and that is why so many people drink alcohol and do other drugs. Then, people associate happiness with the feeling of euphoria that drugs can provide. I have learned that contentment is really all I want and once I quit drinking alcohol, I can say that I am quite content with life, and actually happy most of the time.

    Mr.Tolle most often makes the assumption that we pity ourselves over our miseries. In my opinion, the most severe cases of suffering mentally and spiritually are rooted in guilt and self-hatred: they're not saying:'poor me, why are the world so cruel to me', but: 'serves you right, you've only yourself to blame for your failure.'

      @pascal4182 5 месяцев назад

      @AlexD-os8hw Oh yes it does. It is all about the mind. Suffering is a process that has it roots in the processing of experience (e.g. pain). Two people doing hard labour could be either happy with that (thought process of it being healthy) or sad / angry (thought process of it being really hard / not fair). Difference is how they process the existing epxerience which is the labour. No one is going to reject that every person enduring experiences which you describe may therefore end up suffering. Probably almost everyone would. Still, it is not a necessity - they mind is creating the suffering as an automated response to experience - being aware of it can truly free you.

    Life happens to those who are aware of it. Happiness is within all people and those people who become conscious will also find suffering as part of life. life does not exist without consciousness. When you find yourself being unhappy consider it to be a blessing and except it as it is your mind telling you so and that is all it is. Now you are aware of why you feel the way you do. You know how to stop the mind stuff if you have done your home work and read Eckharts books. A new Earth can take you there, you may still feel the suffering but with a feel good understanding of why and there in lies the healing process.

I felt the life force of a bonsai plant in front of me emanating as loud as a siren. I felt deep peace and relaxation and issues I was going thru shifted as pleasant means of changes and so much more. Also, I coincidently had to have a difficult conversation and I navigated it with such graceful precision- I was truly blown away. It later wore off that evening. A couple months later I had dental surgery and was given strong narcotics for the first time and the experience i had was similar to when I had finished your book. Interesting ehh? :)

      @@RhetoricalMuse Actually, you're probably just confusing PHYSICAL PAIN with suffering. Physical pain is physical pain, that doesn't mean you NEED to create mental/emotional/psychological suffering FROM the physical pain. And yet, that's exactly what the ego will do, because it needs a story to survive. In this case, a story of physical suffering.
      Is physical pain joyful? NO
      Is physical pain fun? NO
      Is physical pain happiness? NO
      And yet, it is still your conscious choice to ACCEPT (and treat) the physical pain rather than create a suffering story about it, which unconsciously the ego will do.

      @RhetoricalMuse 5 месяцев назад

      That's not what being an 'empath' means. It requires a real-life exchange with another living being. Hence 'empathy'.
      Otherwise what one is experiences is empathy with the self, not with the other.
      For example - crying during a film. One isn't empathising with a character, but rather with elements of themselves/own lives that are seen in the character.
