"-Master, how long does it take for one to attain enlightenment?
- 15, 20 years.
- And if one is in a hurry?
- 25, 30."
Just read that yesterday in the Four Agreements!!
🤣🌈
Lol
Good one 😂
Lol
I am 74 years old, and I just commented to my son that it takes so long to not have racing, egoic thoughts. This video helped. In eckhart's book, he says when these thoughts arise, just recognize it as the ego and smile. That helps a lot.
Thought does not cease, completely forever. do not identify with them.
72-78 is such a special time, Soothsayer -- especially 75 when you're in your double heart chakra life cycle. So naturally loving and peaceful and it only happens twice in a lifetime -- once at 25 and again at 75. Enjoy!
@@chakraboosters thank you! I used to do reiki and I learned some about the chakras. Where did you learn about the double heart chakra? Best wishes and enjoy this time of life! Peace and love.
Yesterday, after being full of thought, I suddenly kind of gave up and went aware of the present moment. It was a big shift, such a miracle. Then, the following days were full of peace, joy and love to everything I paid attention to. There was no future, no fear. I awake. Unfortunately, today I have been trapped into thought and ego. But I feel different now. Now im somehow more aware than before. I feel something big that wants to come trough me. Eckhart's videos and forum really helps. Sending love to everyone who is in this path.
Thank you for your comment Francesco, it helped me to uplift my spirits a little bit... 🙏
are we aware of what, how we feel in this moment that's here now..?
I can pray to be aware of what, how I'm feeling in this moment, pray for this moment to let go of tense, anxious thoughts..
prayer in the moment can outshine worry..
🙏💜🕯💧🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊
I don’t know if this helps anyone else but I stumbled upon something that brings presence no matter what for a few seconds at a time --which do add up!
Throughout the day as I begin to feel negative emotions arise I focus on “feeling” the sensation of life in my body. There’s a slight tingle that is always there - it’s a matter of noticing it. At least for me but so many meditation practices also elude to it.
I’ve also found it helpful when I am in physical pain and also when feeling panic. It’s subtle but very much life changing.
Amen and Amen. Thank you so much for sharing.
🤩🎯🌄🎄
Thank you for bringing this back into my awareness I to started to practice this but have forgotten about it and yes it does come with meditation practice in order to really feel to heal 💕
Yeah, ET calls it the inner body awareness. It helps me when I can't sleep. Also don't judge your emotions as "negative". Even pain is just a message you have to consider.
That's the inner body
Thanks for sharing! I tried this, and I love it 👍👍
I've been on the path for about 2 years now and thought i was going nowhere but then when i look at others and their daily rush and anxiety in life i realise i have let go a lot.
Never dismiss your efforts as the results are just elusive.
Thank you. Yes. Exactly. Beautiful.
Everything in the world is a lie
@@jmac3482 - Well said , 50 years on the path - I'm 69 , you were an early starter!
Agreed. I find that my “inner critic” loves to create impatience and comparison! She’s Brutal! I’ll send her some love and immediately my thoughts are of peace and contentment. Best wishes to everyone- blessings abound!!
Same
‘Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment, that’s enough’. Thank you 🙏
True
Simple as that
It's amazing how simple yet difficult it is.
I haven't heard the video yet, but I saw this statement. That's enough. Thanks for extracting that!
Faults that's only one small aspect you have to do some true healing of the Mind work which Eckhart totally knows nothing about being in the present moment doesn't do you any good you need mental honesty beyond what he knows about the big problem is all you new agers think you're the avant-garde and you are nothing you're not even beginning to be honest let alone heal your own minds you ignore the people who have already ascended because you think they're going to walk up to you tossing lilies on the ground in bare feet and white robes your ignorance is very evident and while you try to give counsel to other people that you think need to hear your advice you ignore the advice of the ascended humans on this planet completely
I had that shift yesterday!! :D . I was going into a negative thought spin.. but i was aware of it and started to look at my thoughts as the observer, without judgement.
I made a huge shift, because i could let love in again and my negative thoughts were over ! :D
I Absolutely Love Your Comment!! Thank You!!
@@Jamie.Graves thanks a lot ^_^ :D
So happy for you well done!!! Cultivate that sister🥰🙏🏻and thank you for your sharing that give so much hope 👍👌🙏🏻
@@lornaprioux7728 thanks so much ^_^ I am glad i can inspire you :D
Congrats that's achievement
I don’t need to watch your videos too much anymore but thank you so much for your voice your words, you’ve guided me. I love you brother
Thank you so much🥰 Anyone who is reading this - have an amazing day!
Awakening is the ultimate “specialness.” A “guru” once advised that the aim is not to obliterate the ego but rather allow the transformation into cosmic ego. Ego is resistance, transformation is surrender/accepting-what-is.
LOVE THIS.
The last few days I've been remembering this image of a resistor wired to a short circuit (I'm an Electronics engineer lol) and a text alongside that says "Resistance is futile". As Eckhart says, resistance to the is-ness of the present moment is of no avail.
Instead of offering resistance to the Now it should be better to be friends with it. It is very difficult to achieve, but there is some progress in me realizing it. The structures of the ego are so hard to dismantle...
"Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment. That's enough! "
This is a question that my ego asks every once in a while too.. it is a judgement and it is a harsh one. But because I obsessively listen to spiritual teachers (ET, Mooji, Byron Katie).. I have heard others ask the same question and seen that others have been on this journey for years and years as well. I absolutely love Eckhart's answer to this woman. And I loveeee that he laughed first!! He always laughs at the ego lolol... i have learned to laugh at mine as well (when im aware of it of course) but I am so thankful for Echkart and these spiritual teachers that we have the privilege to have access to! What a great time to be alive!! Blessings to you all and as Mooji says, THIS LIFE IS FOR FREEDOM!!!😄😁😆🧡🧡💛we are all getting free!! Yesssss😘😘😘
I read in one of ET’s books.....laughter breaks down the ego. 🙂
Beautiful comment dear sister. Thank you for sharing and much love to you!
🙌💯
Hello dear friends! You *are* awake. You couldn't ask that question if you weren't conscious. We're doing an awesome job actually! Look at how far we've come! You're there. It's now. Not something to strive for - we're on the ride. It's a moment by moment thing. Now enjoy the journey.
I dont know how but these videos come to me at perfect time. Universe really knows what I need. Thank you Eckhart, you are a blessing 🙏💟
You got it
Could be the RUclips algorithm?
We're all asking! Universe is answering. 💪🧲❤️♾✨
The mystical algorithm 🙏
When God is replaced by Universe 🤭
"Be patient. Do not let your emotions drive you here and drive you there, for the workings of the heart are beyond the emotions that you feel day to day and moment to moment. They represent the great undercurrent. Like the great undercurrents that move the waters of the oceans of this world, they move the direction of your life. Yet like the great undercurrents of the oceans, they are not seen or recognized from the surface. If you live at the surface of your mind, you will be swayed by this thought and that thought and the thoughts of others. You will be governed by the mental environment in which you live."
A quote from *Living The Way of Knowledge* - Chapter 3: The Pillar of Relationships, by Marshall Vian Summers.
Great Quote..those E-motions..Energy in motion drive everything from our physical hormones to our deep desires and learning how to do Heart-Brain Coherence allows the development of spiritual coherence for when we feel gratitude it's because we've received and the universe gives everything so elevating the heart to high focused gratitude and appreciation allows us to match the frequency of the GIVER..which is the universe and that is where the magic begins...
Thank you, Ivan.
Thank you!
Thank you for this. I can never be reminded enough to be patient with myself and others.
The only question that's matters = "Are you awake this moment " Eckhart you are a spacious Genius!!
The Universe is a mirror and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts.
Much Love from a Law Of Attraction RUclipsr 💜
Is it?
Impatience is surely a formidable opponent towards awakening
And because it’s challenging it can also be a friend who brings you closer to awakening ;)
The illusion of control
Impatience only means your ego still wants to seek, achieve and get something. Drop that desire and you will paradoxically be closer to awakening.
This helped me feel less impatient with myself 😉💗 When he puts it into context of the thousands of years of complete unawareness….Thank you, my dear and kind Eckhart!
The Awakening experience shows you that you've always been awake.
I think awakening when surrounded by egotistical people is a constant process of re establishing oneself in the present moment. I don't fool myself that I will ever be as grounded as Eckhart but he's a rock to come back to for catharsis
Keep practicing and eventually it'll be as automatic as please and thank you.
🎶Back to zero...🎶
💯
I agree I just do the best I can, life isn’t puppies and rainbows.
It's not about being "surrounded by egotistical people". As long as you blame others your ego thrives. It's about overcoming the false self from within. In fact "other people" who are unconscious can even propel you out of your own egoic state because the more obnoxious egoic behavior becomes the easier it is to distance yourself from it in many cases.
@@chuckm9603 boy, you can say that again. 🐶🌈
"We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.” - Terence McKenna 🍄
Reprogramming the mind Terence is hard work I find it anyway
Willpower is just a word. The universe will do what the universe does. Darryl Bailey.
But I believe the world can and will improve if the majority of humans do wake up. Meanwhile, que será será. Lol.
" oh look , I am SO PRESENT , the next thought is not coming!"😂I adore ET!!⭐️
🤣
Thank you for asking that question. It's something that I ask myself all the time. Your question itself gave me as much relief as Eckhart's answer!
We are awakening but for some it's hard but we have got this far and WONT give up now
💪❤🙏
It's just the way it IS
I would advise not to assume it takes a whole lifetime. It takes now. And staying with the energy you sense within. It really is about caring enough where your focus goes and how you experience this moment. The more longer you focus within on the energy, each time a thought arises taking attention back to the energy, it reveals a whole different reality, I would say. It's absolutely astonishing. Heaven on earth.
Indeed, as you and Eckhart said, be present with awareness.
However, there is a process that requires spiritual homework, and that is the essence of know thyself.
For example, some are attached to image, and so reject truth. In such cases, the present moment cannot assist such a one unless and until they participate earnestly in their spiritual homework, or spiritual practice.
many years ago after my awakening started there was the subsequent demise of the ego but the seeking energy would still rear its head which is all a part of the universal intelligence at play. I got in touch with a lady who I knew was fully awake, towards the end of the session she said ' and it may never happen' (meaning self realisation). we ended the session and I was totally devastated then within seconds I felt liberated. I saw the ego was still holding on to the idea that I would get something which of course you don't and in recognising this liberation arose and the seeking energy just fell away . the frustration people experience is that the seeking energy has to collapse, which arises from a genuine surrender you can't make it happen and resignation is just the ego feeling despondent an illusionary letting go. then the inner journey begins where the programming, conditioning and socialising structures start to dismantle either all at once (which is rare) or over time leaving you with the heart you were born with....your true nature.
So true! Thanks for sharing. I just watched Aaron Abke’s video on going through the seeking stage, etc. You’re so right the seeking energy does need to collapse.
Allow the sun of awareness to outshine thoughts
🙏
The biggest thing for me is that awakening is more about perspective. Your awareness becomes accustomed to lying in that space of presence and your awakening accelerates through a genuine desire to go deeper into that awareness itself. Sooner or later, you will make that space a natural place to go to.
-Much love from a growing RUclipsr
👏🏽🙏🏽
Amen and Amen.
🎯🌄
Desire implies lack and wanting something. The more you want to get awakened the less awakened you are as you want what you don't have usually. Drop the desire and appreciate what you already have. Be grateful. Do not think about the future aka "sooner or later" - practice presence now.
You’re amazing. Making it sound like a safe haven, and that’s essentially what it is. I love it.
@@luxyluz2442 Yes! That's it haha, and thank you!
The collective ego is a Zombie
"Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment. That's enough." 🙏🏻💗
So simple... yet so hard
@@jwelsh939 well, it's a process.. for most of us... you are not alone in this, bro. Lot's of love from Poland. ❤ I'm sure you'll succeed.
*_I think it is important to realize that nobody can tell you your path, only you know the right choice for yourself. Enlightenment takes place in many different forms and it isn't always leading to enlightenment in one life. So don't worry if it's taking too long! Let's all work together to help other people find their paths!_*
I have been falling for this little trap lately. Asking how long its going to take is like an itch trying to scratch itself. The question itself is the ego trying to perpetuate itself.
Thank you, Eckhart. It's really so simple when we take responsibility and we stop waiting for"something" to happen and make us realised or enlightened.
Great video, I'm struggling big time and this has helped somewhat to refocus or at least attempt to refocus when I cannot turn off the thoughts and anxiety..
Thanks 👍🏴
You do not turn off anxious thoughts, acknowledge them. But do not identify with them.,
I don't think you can force an awakening, usually it's spontaneous and happens during chaos, but now people can bring it on with meditation. When it happened to me it was in the middle of a breakdown, I didn't even know what an awakening was and I didn't believe in God. Being awake doesn't mean you change automatically, I was in the "bliss" stage for 4 or 5 months but I fell back into depression, the only difference now is I know the truth about God, the universe... and I am on the path out of depression because I do know what that blissfulness feels like, I know about nonattatchment, mindfulness... and that we are one but knowing and feeling that oneness are 2 different things especially after a lifetime of being conditioned to believe the societal construct.
Societal construct, another concept to let go of.
Have you listened to any Jed McKenna teachings?
No need for depression ever again. It's your choice now that you know.
@@EnlightenedCarnivore No, I haven't, thank you fir the suggestion. You're right and I am working on it, I'm not even a quarter as bad as I used to be
@@lizzettorres1111 It'll just get better and better now that you know that "it" exists. 🙂Have you heard of Adyashanti? Or Gangaji? So many good teachers! :)
@@EnlightenedCarnivore It's amazing how much I've changed since I found the truth. Now I know I didn't believe it existed because we all hold the knowledge inside us and I knew instincually that the Christian version of God was wrong. My awakening happened a little over 2 yrs ago and spirituality fell in my lap right afterwards, I remember thinking there was a whole world out there I never knew about and I searched for God for for yrs. Everything absolutely happens exactly the way its suppose to, I do watch Adyashanti but I haven't heard of Gangaji, but the more the merrier, I/we learn something from everyone we encounter and more from spiritual teachers. I watch Mooji a lot, he's so peaceful. Thanks again, keep shining. 😎🙏✌💜🔆
Don't let thoughts gobble up your consciousness.
Don't let your consciousness incarnate into thought forms.
Redirect your attention to your breathing, to inside your body.
Thanks Eckhart
🎷😂🗼🥅🌄🎯⛩🍻🏄♂️🎪🎪🍮😜🏡🚴♀️🍒
Thank you. This part really stood out to me. I've never heard him put it quite this way before.
Also "listening for years" does nothing really to awake you. You have to practice presence and meditate yourself. That's like saying "I have watched TV for years, why does it take so long to get rich and famous?". Just by witnessing someone else talking about it online you won't speed up the awakening process. "The awakening will not be televised. It will be live."
You can’t force it , personally I have had stages , little glimpses now and then over the years , now I feel it’s more constant, if that makes sense
It’s very helpful that he said the awareness of my anxiousness means I have the ability to feel it and move it out of my body and mind. It’s not anxiety unless you are unaware.
Awakening is really being free from thoughts and it's pain
Everyone can awken in an instant. It's easy.
1. Step one: Acept that you are one with God and therefore one with all other beings.
2. Step 2. Proclaim your devinity to all who would listen.
3. Step 3: Demionstrate what it means to be God on earth. What would you think, say and do, if you were God.
That's it, easy peasy, lemon squeesy💞
thats not it though haha. dont mistake thinking for awakening
@@monster-tc1nz Thinking is not awkening. Actually awkening is NOT THINKING. If we could all just STOP, STOP THINKING, even for a short while, we would awaken to the devine being that we all are. Because when you stop thinking, you give the spirit within you a chance to BE, to express and to releave itself to you, through thought. Your super conscious thoughts. ❤
I love this video so much! Thank you!
I hope Eckhart reads the comments although I doubt he does. I would like him to know that we are grateful for his guidance. I am a beginner, but I find these talks helpful. I am attempting to separate from anxiety.
I think he sometimes surfs commentary, but I'm guessing random, with travel & talks & meetings I bet he really likes down time to not think of anything just listen to birds wind in trees..
I could see him content in a cabin by a stream but he wants the message to reach as many open people as he's able to before he "retires" from the stage, he makes excellent use of
computer & youtube for us
& when I sometimes look up read things in his books, I can hear his voice in the words.
🙏💜🕯💧🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊
one who seeks to be awakened will never be awake.....paradox
"...take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment..." That's it, that's all
To “wake up” means your 3rd eye gets activated and the veil is gone. You learn all about your soul’s evolution in this dimension and in other dimensions. You are able to communicate with your spirit guides and Angels. To wake up you have to go through a kundalini activation and you have to heal all your trauma and pain. Good luck ✨ get to work 👏
I agree with you
THE SIMPLEST THINGS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL
“Thought gobbles up your consciousness.”
Brilliant! That really hit me!
I am a huge fan of Tolle. He has changed my life. But he is not a trauma therapist. And often people with this question need therapy for trauma. Things get lodged in your nervous system, and all the books and talks in the world are not going to work that out.
@Gaia Barone Trauma-informed therapists require specific training. As someone who has read 5 of his books and listened to countless hours of his talks, I stand by my point. However you are not completely wrong…his inner-body work is definitely effective, depending on the severity of the trauma. However, there are tools and methods and processes that are clinically proven to process & heal trauma that simple awareness & body scanning and such just does not get at. It’s no insult to Eckhart, it’s just the nature of the game. Eckhart is an expert, but not in the area of PTSD. That’s all I’m sayin. Even HE recommends that people see therapists in his talks! I think he even mentions it in The Power Of Now, and/or A New Earth.
If only trauma therapists were open to hearing what he is saying, thered be no more need for therapy😁💫🌻
There is so much more to this life and experience than any of us can possibly know or comprehend, we should try our best not to fill in the gaps with our own or other people's imaginary stories and simply
Accept what is
Trust what will be
And be so very grateful for everything.
"Don't ask useless questions" LOL! Fully agreed, waking up and growing in consciousness is truly a miracle and I am grateful for it.
'That's enough' at the end of the video made me laugh. I know he meant that being present is all you need - he just sounded like a fed up parent hahaha x
imo watching videos or reading books will help you to have context of spirituality, but that is it, you have to meditate at least 20 minutes per day, imo without meditating every day you will get almost nothing, you wont clear the clouds to access to consciousness by watching videos or reading books about spirituality, you have to meditate, cheers
I believe your desire is in direct correlation with the rate at which you awaken. The one who spends much time in active or passive meditation because of desire for peace/joy/life is going to grow more in awareness than the one who forgets and stays lost in form, not desiring or remembering to be aware. When you are fed up with vanity and suffering you will turn from it unto Spirit, and to that degree the process will accelerate. It is usually does not happen spontaneously and unintentionally as it did for Tolle. As Jesus said, "Above all, seek first the Kingdom of God" and "In your patience, possess your own soul (thoughts, emotions and passions)" Watch silently thoughts and emotions and the world, to bring quiet to the mind and stillness to the heart.
Appreciating the wisdom of Eckhart's students. Thank you . We are in a good time tn our lifetime
Trying to process all that arises in me,
as I watch this video...
I've fallen in love with a man.
And it's destroying me.
Breaking me.
The pain is too much.
Unbearable.
Leaves me breathless. Because...
I don't know what his feelings are for me?
But he clearly doesn't love me: like I love him...
And that leaves me full of shame...
I'm 42 and have never been in a relationship...
I have no friends.
No career.
No money.
No love.
No nothing.
And I'm old now.
I'm a complete utter total failure.
And I die in the shame and the grief
and the rage of it all...
I feel so desperate, trying so long to be where Eckhart is...how else to be happy on this crazy world then to have had the experience he has had when he saw the diamond. Can others relate?
Excellent answer!
Take responsibility for the Now! That's enough....
Typical Middle Ages complaint among cathedrals :
"Are we there yet? Why is this taking so long?"
Advice for antsy cathedrals:
Almost there, patience! Cathedrals aren't made in a day..
Absolutely beautiful as usual and I know when I’m in this state and more n more I’m bringing it into situations in my day not even talking about it just allowing the awareness to seep over me... bliss and bless you for making it so simple n clear ❤️🙏
My awakening comes and goes. Drinking makes it 10times worse and almost forget the whole thing happened. Dont drink! Re - awaken and never let it go
This “pandemic “ has brought a lot of people to this channel , so that’s a positive
Your longing for it is exactly what’s holding you back.
Much love from a spiritual RUclipsr 🤍
Its funny how its a new trend to advertise your so called 'spiritual youtube' channel on the channels of more popular teachers. If you are meant to be a spiritual teacher you dont have to advertise or MAKE it happen, the universe will make it happen for you.
@@isaaccardin what are you on about? Who said anything about being a teacher 😄. There’s a big difference between being a teacher and sharing your journey. And of course, marketing is marketing. To deny its existence is just plain dumb.
Could that be wrong beings using wrong concepts wrong consciousness and wrong proceedings... all together made it taking so toooooooooo long?
Just my thought. Be open minded. Namaste ❤
Thank you , Eckhart for all your teachings.❤️🙏❤️Love and Light to all ❤️🙏❤️
Listening to Eckhart is great for learning to reduce suffering. But also listen to others that have instructions on a more direct path to Awakening using Inquiry, pointers, and glimpses.
Can you share who some of these others would be? I’ve been searching. Thank you
Mooji and Byron Katie have been absolutely necessary for me, along with ET. Each of them are different but ultimately saying the same thing. I couldn't do it without these 3 teachers. Be blessed guys!
Loved the gobbled up by thought actions !!....I love Eckhart my start of the day has changed ...man hugs ET :)
“Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment. That’s enough.” Got it!!
Thankful n grateful for Eckhart for sharing his knowledge
Direct your attention and take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present. That's enough.
Thanks Eckhart.
😂🎯🎪💡🏝🍭🍰🍒
The mind is very tricky by avoiding the present moment, it is well trained in the western world. We all need Sympathie with our disturbing mind :D the best thing is also addressing our emotions and talking to someone, if you your instabile, it s hard to just jump into enlightenment, we need connection to others, we are humans.
thanks Eckhart, your Message is very important 🧡
Nope. Sorry. You've got to go it alone. Become nobody. Nothing. The good news though is you become everything and everyone. Lol.
Thank you! Everything you described is exactly how it happens!🤗 I can step out of thought now and see the thought-form and it does allow freedom!😁🌺 Thank you Eckhart! Robin 🙋🏻♀️🌺
We can only be ready and open to receive but we cannot initiate it. We are so used to being in control with a noisy mind and ego, that making this shift may not come easy. It can all take time. Tks for the videos and teaching! We need them.
Eckhart is one of the few people on this earth that I rate
Oh I needed to see and hear this!! Thank you!!!!
The master said something like: "He’s been a monk for five years, so he understands 5% of what I teach." A junior monk said in response to the latter. "So I must have 1% since I’ve been here one year." "No," the masted replied. "The first four years you have zero percent, then the fifth year, you have 5%."
Stop fighting to stay in contròl
Perfect
What I don't understand at this time is if we all came from consciousness and oneness, and we end up back there after physical death, what is the actual purpose of experiencing such a limiting existence? Is the all that is really this bored or just stuck on repeat?
I'm experiencing a low today 😑🤔
This too shall pass, felt a low earlier too, it's just now passed.💜
@@firstnamelastnam3 thank you 🤗🙏
Simply Beautiful !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well said and explained in response to such a challenging question! One love! 💚
Convince your Ego of the Truth, Wisdom, Peace of the Feeling of Being.
Yea, sometimes, while i am trying to be present, the thought came and start describing what i am doing, and that i am present... and every time i try to go back to the present the thought tries to come again to interrupt and describe what i am doing, i hope there is a solution for that!
He just speaks my mind. Thanks for your help.
Expectations limit our connection to What IS. imo Just be here now and let the ideas of "awakening" go.
My Awakening has been so different. I think it's an awakening. I am psychic and only realized this 9 months ago and have been doing healing readings for people as I can connect with their energy and see what they need in order to heal their unconscious thought patterns that are creating difficult circumstances that they are trapped in or just struggling with currently. I have become aware in this time of my past lives, spirit guides and higher self - that part of me that is aware of my past and inbetween lives in the physical dimension. I feel that my purpose was to heal my own past traumas and so on and help others to do the same and in this way to become more conscious and raise the consciousness of others. I am wondering how this ties in with Eckhart Tolle's very different experience of awakening? I have been listening to E. Tolle for years. I was 25 and had just tried to end my life when I first read The Power Of Now - that was 16 years ago but my awakening and spiritual awareness is vastly different.
That’s what happens to me- I wobble bc I wonder/doubt/fear if I can sustain my presence and that pulls me out.
I am grateful to be reminded of the context in Eckhart's answer. It will feel like a miracle to have reached that goal in this lifetime, but I think, with vigilance, it will be like accruing money in the bank.
Chris, once you are in a relaxed state, and are aware, then aware that you are aware; let go. Become that which is Aware. No seeking, grasping, or reaching. Also, occasionally ask, “who am I?"
Awakening is not a goal. Making something into a goal is postponing it. Awake now not later, one day, or "by 2050". It's a shift of perspective, nothing you can accomplish.
The most sweet kindest compassionate... awaken.. Eckhart 🌷🌷🌷🌷...thank you so much
Brilliantly phrased & so true- when we create that inner peaceful - restful space of ‘ Sensorial consciousness , the thoughts = the ego noises vanish into a gentle ‘ mist ‘ and with practice it becomes silent-.the way it works for me is indeed as going back to the sensation of the body like breathing& movement + massive immersion into nature -
I love you Eckhart
I love his laugh! 🖤
I have this reincarnating thought problem; I am aware enough to see it and that is better than before.
🌈love that too, yeah I say the same smtms, and I feel I might begin not saying I have "problems" I will say , wow arent I groovy for noticing where I Am Now, and let that be my trampoline😆🌻
How many people are awake or on the path to awakening out of 7.8 billion? May be a million, which is on the higher side, do you ever wonder why? Majority of us mistake religious beliefs and/or rituals for spiritual awakening and pursue a wrong path. Eckhart is right our ego plays a very big role as a barrier and it comes up with different faces and disguises to trick a spiritual aspirant. This path seems easy but is most difficult thing that is why only a few are self realized on the planet earth. Consider yourself lucky that you are even thinking about it, how many people you know who are on this path or understand spirituality or awakening?
Twist he’s the ego driven mad man
Convincing unfair people to become fair people is taking so long too.
Fair? Is that just a thought ...I feel freedom has no need to enforce anyone's perception of fair. Harmony rings true literally, it feels open. We're all little unique music temples of light🤣🌈 talking of harmony I oughta stop arguing with people😆🧡🌻
This is a PERFECT explanation and is exactly what I teach as well, especially the concept of collective ego and how we easily get pulled into that collective trap. We're not separate, we are individual manifestation of the collective whole and the really cool thing is if you get deeper into your presence practice it helps everyone develop greater presence as it adds to the collective. As you learn how to consciously manifest your reality through presence, entering the Quantum and creating your reality from the field of energy that created everything it helps everyone find their way to true conscious manifestation
*Put your hand out in front of you and study it. Is your hand AWARE of You ??? Or even know it exists ??? Of course it doesn't, as NOT a single component of the human anatomy, is AWARE of anything !*
*ONLY AWARENESS, is AWARE of anything, this is WHY, it is called AWARENESS !* 😁
