This cute little Buddha sipping wine and talking about things that F up your life......I feel so blessed and overjoyed listening to him!
I swear Eckhart looks like a 400 year old sage sloth. He is so calm, so slow but he never wastes a single word to get the message across
Beautiful, Eckhart. Trying to be perfect in everything all the time is a clear state of suffering. Allowing minor imperfections is such a relief !! 🙏🙏
So true 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What if I'm a completely failure then?
@@Emiliah1996 , you have the golden opportunity to transmute the external failure to internal peace.
@@Emiliah1996 Hi Jessie in who's opinion? The mind is a by nature negative and produces lots of negative thoughts and feelings of which 99.9% are completely false 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Emiliah1996 Leí que no debemos juzgar a nadie, ni a nosotros mismos por ser "fracasados", ya que hay que conocer las 7 vidas anteriores para entender por qué la persona está viviendo una determinada situación. A mí me gusta mucho sentir que esto es un sueño, así que pase lo que pase en el sueño, al alma no le afecta. El fracaso es solo una experiencia más que vivimos en este sueño.
I really enjoy Ekhart’s sense of humor😊. That’s lovely and human, so far away from an image of “impecable guru”.
You can make use of the past and plan for the future without losing the presence.
You don't engage in useless and fearful thinking.
You can trust the universe with the results. You are rooted in being.
You welcome a good outcome but you don't rely on the results for your completeness.
When you are connected, you are already complete. You are both wave and ocean.
Thanks Eckhart. 22 April 2023.🐧🍁🍍🍺🔥⛵☯️🤩🕎
Nicely put! 🙏
Thank you for your sum up 🙏😅😢I appreciate you ❤️
"Trusting the Universe" is placing one's trust outside of Self! Each one is the Universe. Trust your Self! 🙏👍😊🌈💖
Roger Lin, 🙏🏻❤️ Grateful to read your comment. Helps 🌹 Thankyou.
@@maelmitchell7207 We are not separate from "The Universe". So trusting the The Universe, is simply letting go into and living as the Movement, as the Flow of Existence.
When feeling separate from the Ocean and battling the currents of life tossing us around, perhaps grab a floaty noodle or device. That equates to letting go. Surrender, and be one with the movement of the ocean. Be the flow. My two bobs worth. 🌻
Nice summation above .👍
Being able to admit our imperfections without that heavy judgement is so important.
Absolutely, I have started looking at people after I made a mistake and have apologized with a "yep, I effed up, what NOW?"
Even if it's a crime?
Stay blessed all
"U can enjoy things.
Allow yrself to have yr imperfections as long as they don't create suffering for others or yrself.
Be comfortable with things where u r not perfect.
As consciousness awakens in u more, the awareness arises, it does tend to dissolve those patterns that really f up yr life.🤪"
Holy Cow!!! The perspective that I needed today (12/31/2023) as I was wondering how to stay present and yet plan, at least minimally (I am NOT a planner by nature) for the future ... my first year of retirement/super-semi-retirement :)
At any rate, this was so helpful to me.
I'm Filipino and it's very true about being late, but then it's just normal for us 😂. But I've learned to adjust when I'm with my Western friends 😂
Same here 😂
I have a ticket to see Eckhart on the 2nd October, Royal Hall. I chose a ticket right near the front. It was very expensive, but I just paid. Eckhart Tolle is worth it.. I love his place is untidy at the moment ,
so is mine . Eckhart has inspired me to, get up and tidy up my room😊🎉📚🎈🌼🌹
How much was the ticket?
@@nedtempleton4873 £200. From the Royal Albert Hall box office
@Maggie Tattersfield gosh I must ask Eckhart for a donation lol.
@@maggietattersfield2859 Omg. Thanks for replying.
I have tickets for that day too. £73 each. The online box office was selling them but people were still buying them at 10 times the price on sell-on websites
Very nice to have a calm and decent person to listen to when you're feeling a bit churned up inside.
A longtime source of frustration for me has been “What do I do with my life?” I graduated high school 19 years ago this June, and ever since then, I’ve basically drifted aimlessly, while trying to live a somewhat normal life with anxiety and depression.
Eckhart’s teachings have been a source of comfort, but I was confused for the longest time about how I realistically approach life while being present. Eckhart seemed to emphasize being connected with the present moment so much, and didn’t seem to talk about the utility of past and future (or memory and planning, as he refers to them in this talk). I imagine Eckhart probably has talked about this many times, it’s just that sometimes it takes a long time for a concept to click with me. Sometimes I need just the right phrasing, while other times, I need to hear something phrased in several different ways before I finally get it. I guess that’s why Eckhart’s still talking to people about this stuff, even after writing multiple books about it.
You situation is universal all humans experience this.
It's kind of funny how older people awaken & regret all the time they lost living an unauthentic life, chasing an illusion of "being someone." Then younger people awaken and dread how to get through life without an ego (drive to be someone, usually someone else, somewhere else, doing something else). Older people can't accept what they have. They ruminate what could have been. Younger people can't accept what they have. They ruminate what could be, having to pick one.
You can recognize that you have time to do something with. You could sit under a tree and be 100% present, not distracted with "what do I do next?" (That sounds sarcastic, but maybe that's really what you should do. Live as a guru, teach others.). Or, you might be more "practical" and work as a cashier at a grocery store. Rapid-fire interactions with people who visit the store because they have to (for food). Lots of opportunities to share a moment with people, share your consciousness with a huge variety of people. (Sitting under a tree always seems self-indulgent & unrealistic to me. Something like the grocery store would be more engaged with others, for a more deliberate purpose of positively impacting their day.). Or, enter a professional trade? Go back to school? That takes more planning, more thinking, imagining. There's a difference between thinking about what's necessary to achieve a goal (graduate). But, it doesn't have to consume you. It still boils down to "I'm working at a grocery store, before going to class tomorrow morning." "I'm riding my bike to school right now. (Later I'll be working at the store.)." Whatever "is" at the moment. The problem is when "I have to do this, then this, and then... and I should have gone to a different school. If I'd gone back to school 10 years ago, I'd already have my degree and be doing what I want to be doing...." Whatever you're doing, don't lose sight of the moment. You can be that way doing anything.
You mentioned anxiety & depression. Those emotions are usually related to living (thinking) in the future & past, respectively. Depression is cold anger; anger turned inward. Something that helped me is an image you can find online called "the wheel of emotion." I always thought "I'm not angry. Anger is a vulgar, shameful emotion. To me avoided at all costs. I'd know that if I felt it. No, no, no. I'm invalidated, offended, frustrated, critical... all for reasons I can endlessly explain to myself." I was _always_ angry without realizing it. I thought I was experiencing something valid, caused by my present environment, something I could explain to myself as cognitively understood. But, remove the story: anger. That "wheel" enlightened me a lot about how we dress feelings up in explanations (and don't think of them as feelings as a result.).
I use to ask myself this question before I became aware Im the now.😊❤
You're not alone. Sometimes I have a difficult time wrapping my head around things he teaches. I figure if and when I'm ready to get it I will. 🌷
I experience i need to both understand mentally, intellectually, and experience it embodied. Usually my body contains a memory of presence that serves as an anchor. But I also experience reminders are important to me. I may have understood and/or experienced something once, but I need to recall this en route in life. Once I understand is not giving a fixed new state of things.
Being late is self centred.
I did that, I asked myself how I wanted my upcoming year to be and set an intention. Then I broke it down to small decisions that took me to that place everyday.
Have you ever seen an overgrown plant with its branches growing wild?
the reason you begin with just one habit is to fortify your center first. Thicken your trunk to build the strongest foundation possible.
After solidifying one habit, you do not suddenly branch out in dozens. No. You choose only one more to add. Nourish it. Be patient, no matter how long it takes.
You are choosing the direction of how you will grow. You are sculpting the limbs of your tree. And it is beautiful.
Well put!
What a lovely analogy! I haven't heard of that before
Sounds nice. 😄 But what if... (and here an odd thing is happening, or, occasionally comes up)... I Awakened in mid 2019...then over a year or so settled into "enlightenment" ... present moment existence ... but once in awhile ... because existence has become Very simple (retired with more than enough money) ... I think, "life was much more interesting when I was filled with anxiety and was neurotic and impulsive and reckless, an alcoholic, etc (lol).
But, they say it can take upwards of ten years or so to settle into enlightenment ... So ..., 'Thy Will Be Done', right? 🤔 🙂 / 💖🙏💖

One of the best bumper stickrs I've ever seen read, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." ✌ ~The Blue Rocker
i love echart! i wish i could meet him one day
It is such a pleasure to listen to this man talk.
He is interested to took, because get a lot of money from gullible people!! My dear, no new earth! Take a look on carnage in Ukraine! Take a look at Corporal fantasy”, Martin Butler to understand these enlightenment’ s charlatans!!!
Don't you just love listening to Ekhart ....❤
Moltes gràcies! ❤ Thanks so much! You're wonderful
Part of awakeness is saying YES to life and part of saying YES to life is being friendly with ourselves
i love how chill Eckhart is😂
I am still in the process of reading your book the power of now. Wondering what is he doing about past and future last night. And thought I need to tell YOU it is part of the present...and here I find your video. If you need a top secretary... I will organize your place in no time in the present, so you have space for the future ...
A stranger in an airport started talking to me telling me about her son dying and although the airline called my name over and over and I missed my flight I don’t feel I was late or didn’t show up rather I feel I was right where I was meant to be - when I explained this to the airline they thanked me for taking the time to help by being present through her pain and they put me on the next flight - when I landed the family thought my actions crazy and selfish to keep them waiting and miss my scheduled flight to this day they still think I’m an odd ball and treat me that way but it’s me they all rely on when things go wrong with their health or anxiety sets in they want me to be present with them yet they judge my lack of selfishness but that’s ok I’m the way God made me - thank you for being a kindred spirit Eckhart ☘️💁🏻🧜🏻♀️💕
Remember that you are never alone and that there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow. Allow yourself to be filled with love and positivity, and release any negative energy that may be weighing you down. Trust that the universe has a plan for you and that everything will fall into place in due time. Have faith and continue to hold onto your inner strength. May your Sunday be filled with blessings and abundant joy.🦋💜 Thankyou Eckhart
Understood clearly what it means to be present when I focus on the past and future. I can become more focused and fully concentrated on now.
I thought I was ignorant but then I realized I'm blessed by living in a moment
Thank you, Eckhart! Your laughter is contagious. 💞
Thank you for this nice talk.
In Switzerland it is said : before time, it's not time, after time, it's not time anymore.
Thank you 🙏🙏
I love your humor! Thanks, Eckhart!😂💜
I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak so openly about himself. I really enjoyed this one. 😅
The present moment is perfection.
Trying to be perfect is connected to pain. It means having an expectation/ a different image of the sensation i am observing. Nothing is imperfect. It is different to the present moment.
I am always perfect as i am.
If the sensation does not complete my expectations it is stil perfect as it is.
The present moment is perfection.
❤
Well done if you can keep that up ! No way do I feel perfect.. I am glad you can feel that way. I tried but it didn't last long. Only God is perfect...& I am glad at least thats possible. Its a hard definition when an artwork is completed..at its most perfect..I know cos when I don't stop then ...it looks worse not better. Perfectionists torment themselves - so I settle for excellence as a goal. That works ! Perfect seems static somehow. I wish I could feel happy with it like you do. Let me know when it doesn't feel that way anymore. I'd be interested to know what happened !
Honestly, it takes years of practice to figure out how to be as present as possible and still be a responsible person in the world. Learning how to use the intellect properly and keeping it in the proper perspective. Engaging in heart intelligence and having your mind follow the heart instead of letting the head lead. Also, yes, trusting the Universe. All of these things work together. As I said, it takes time to learn.
If you forget everything you learnt you are the present moment. Nothing to learn, nothing to become, nothing to heal, nothing to regret, nothing to change. I like it.
You just have to fall in love with this man ! ❤😄
Agree of progress not perfection!😊
Thanks for answering a question that I had yestarday... Since I am more present, I enjoy more eating white chocolate while I am present... It's like presence & white chocolate feels better... I was not sure how to interpret that 😋
I became habitually late after a bad childhood experience where a band teacher made an example out of me for coming in as the bell was ringing and expelled me permanently - we were very poor and my mom had scrounged to get my instrument and I had practiced all weekend and was so excited to learn. That fucger crushed my spirit and so I said F IT forever with being on time. And I have tried to correct it desperately as an adult but seriously something snapped In me that day and I could care fucking less what people think, at my core, even though I do try to follow the social norms, I also know they are built on shaky foundations and people can just crucify others with their power regardless of rhyme or reason and so yes. Sometimes its complicated.
How about Core Transform NLP? It can process these emotions and integrate them back in :)
Thank you for everything dear Eckhart. Thank you for guiding us so gently and with so much compassion. Namaste
Wonderful 💛
Hahah i've never heard Eckhart say 'F-up your life' ahahh that was great
Agree
❤ Thank you for this timely reminder Eckhart. It is more than welcome right now. Was needed🙏🏻
Before dismissing an insight of awareness, analyze it to see if it can be useful for you don’t just ignore it
" This is not tidy, how do you live?!"😥🥺
It sounds very familiar to me...😂🤣
So grateful...💓🙏✨
Thank you so much Elkhart Tolle❤You are the best😊
Thank you so much, Mr. Tolle!!!! 🎉🎉🎉😄😄😄🥰🥰🥰
This video has perfect timing thank you Eckhart 😊
I AM so Grateful for this! Thank you 🙏
oooh, Eckhart (almost) said the "F" word 😆😂🤣....what a great and fun talk this was 😃
Adjudication is a lie for knowing to much becomes a moral conundrum because the saving.
This philanthropy leads to this situation
I love this man! Soo lovely and soo profound at the same time.
ET offers hope at these times which can make one feel agitated, selfish and angry
Thank you Eckhart ❤
to listen you is always bringing me light and joy ❤thank you 🙏
This one was great. I love your humour, it makes your messages even more interesting and helpful
Always a pleasure to listen to you Echart 😊
Love Eckhart's sense of humor!!
thank you eckhart tolle .😘😘😘😘
Awesome, as usual. We love you Eckart, Thank you for being here with us.
“If my state of consciousness were so fragile that a glass of wine would upset it….”😂❤😂❤😂
Eckhart is an amazing teacher ☕
I've been listening Eckhart Tolle spiritual teachings for many many years and it's always so joyful and delightful 😍 deeply appreciated 🙏🏼 Infinite Love 💜 🌅
I think I understand you . Thank you !
I think that humor and relatevating can help us on our way in this live on earth ... 😊
Thank you and All the best.
Thank you master, Eckhart.
Thank you Eckhart! This was one of my favorite segments! I am a planner, and I have been more focused on staying present, while I plan my next adventure or project or job. 😊
Thank you🙏
Thankyou💚💚
One cannot plan his/her "future". The future only describes possibilities and potential. One can only plan the "NOW"! 🙏👍🤔😊🌈
Marvelous talk thank you. Delightful insights into the life of a master. Priceless humour and wording. Thanks for going there.
Well said :)
Thank you Eckhart❤
Reminds me of theologian Paul Tillich’s Eternal Now. Powerful.
As far as punctuality goes, I always strive to be on time out of respect
for whom I'm meeting. To be chronically late is narcissistic behavior.
I could be wrong but that is what it feels like. Thanks again Eckhart!
Thank you. That's confirmation. 💛
I sort of like focusing myself however I planning to do something great👍 idk with them but myself would be great try to think something amazing.
Helpful! How to use psychological time without doing unnecessary thinking. When it is useful and when it is not. Something which I need to practice. But it requires a sufficient presence to watch upon our thoughts when we are becoming astray. 👍❤️
Thanks Eckhart great teaching, I am 53 year old Chinese lady, who currently live in Vancouver Canada, looking for a partner who can be my company to the full enlightenment, I am already awakened, on my way, so I like to get someone who can understand me, so I think this is good place to look😊.
I just appreciate you because of your way of being and your way of thinking,
I have never seen the future like this before 🤯 you have blown up my mind 😅.
I hope it does make sense 😢😂🎉
I've seen a few Eckhart videos, and this was a fun one!
Thank you.
The future is a thought, a thought that you never thought.
Eckhart, please tell us the meaning of conscience and the difference between consciousness and conscience..
Thank You
Thank you!
Love you eckhart 🤩🌱🙏🏻
Your videos always pop up at the right time somehow
Very helpful talk
Thank you
Really good on so many levels. Thank you
Muchísimas gracias!!!❤🙏😊
I love this! Love Eckhart's humor. also like the idea of adding "it's in my genes" when I am late:)) I really enjoyed his focus on the imperfections.
ET the most amazing man….
Thank you so much. ❤
Its true as a Filipino were always late but not all the time 😅
I love you Eckhart ...your example of your Filipino friend who's always late… you stated it could be in the gene ,however, it could be cultural. We all slaves of culture especially when we're not living in the "Now"However, I understand your point .
Maybe people who question "why do you need coffee since you are so awake" need and long for spirituality that deeply affects every day life - not just as a concept in the head. And also may be concerned with number of 'fake gurus' and look for signs to confirm that the teacher actually embodies what he teaches.
Great message
Thank you ❤
This is very helpful. Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you for your support.
