Suffering led me to spiritually awakening. I find it amazing how much suffering it took to get there. Decades of immense suffering...mostly from my own ego mind. Ever since reading the Power of Now about a year ago and applying the techniques that Eckhart taught in his book my mental state has markedly changed for the better. My ego mind tells me it is a tragedy that I discovered it so late in life, after I had already destroyed any future I might have had if I had not been lost in my ego mind suffering. But I also know that what is, simply is, and that acceptance, forgiveness to myself, and living in the now is all that really matters. Why surrender the beauty that is now for the pain that was...
It is amazing ! I love how when the thought “you have discovered this too late in your life when there is no future for you anymore” appeared, you spot that and recognized it as the mind trying to trick you again coming from the back door 😄 I relate to this as similar tricky patterns operate in me as well, but are recognized and cannot take control :) Also remember that there was never any future anyways… there is just now, thats is.
@@michaeljlumpkinesquire so then we could say that those without suffering like we had will have a harder time to awaken. The more pain we have, the easier it is to awaken to reality. But narcissists are in pain too and they would have a harder time to awaken. Harder to see the forest for the trees for them than us. hmmm...guess i just told myself how to not judge them so much. cool.
My awakening felt like a pure bliss of joy. My mind was always in the future, and when I turned to present, I finally felt the taste of the food in my plate, the smell of the air, the beautiful forms of leaves of trees in the park, i felt the warmth of the sunshine while seating on a bench... all these life and happiness can only be felt in the present, not future or past.
@@gribwitch I am not talking about every day life. If one just lives day to day, one eventually will find the body decayed, diseased and then death., followed by reincarnation. we all have been in this maze for thousands of years. Inevitable, but a righteous spiritual practice can break that cycle and show us how to return home to Heaven, not with death. Compared to Heaven, Earth is a sewer...............Falun Dafa ..........
As a tradesman I often have to work outside and I would often check the weather in advance to see if was going to be too hot during summer, or too wet during winter. I was always stressed if it wasn't ideal. How ridiculous this now seems to me. Now I understand what is meant by surrender to what IS. I am now free from complaining or disappointment. In fact I smile now and adapt as best I can to what IS. I have also lost all my anxiety because I now realise how I used to create this state by living in the future and my mind always filled it with problems. It has changed my life so much and everyday I see things more clearly. Yesterday I was starring at some plants in the park because I was struck by something odd. All the plants were exactly the same but one had burst into blossom with many yellow flowers. As I starred at it I was suddenly aware that this plant among many had awakened. It almost brought me to tears. It felt so personal.
It is not polite to stare. Just kidding. Wisdom is only attained through suffering so I guess that you are stuck but don't worry heaven will not forget you.
I am almost convinced that the more messed up you are, the quicker you awaken. The level of suffering escalates to a level that is unbearable. That's when it started for me. Thank God it has progressed to the point that peace came followed my clarity. I am so grateful for having been blessed.
Life is a dream and some of us are in a nightmare. If you’re in a nightmare your main focus is to wake up. That’s the gift of suffering, without it we wouldn’t have any desire to awaken ❤
Reading the book changed my life. The moment I realized that the mind is a but a tool and thoughts are not who I really am, I could detach myself from anxiety and panic. This is coming from someone who suffered panic attacks for years and almost constant anxiety. I was addicted to negative thoughts and my mind and emotions controlled almost everything I did.
Good on you keep it up 🤙🏽 and btw which book is this ? and also any other tips on dealing with anxiety / panic attacks, I struggle with it daily and cant fully function 😔
In my opinion spiritual awakening is not a one time process but requires everyday repetition and discipline cause you know the outside world challenges you everyday. Thank‘s for the eye opener Eckhart 🙏🏻
Mine comes in waves… I become unconscious and drift back into my mind.. forget who I really am… and thank goodness my spirit brings me back around again, each time I’m more conscious of my true self than I was the time before. So it must be meant to happen. Eventually I’ll be enlightened and the waves wont pull me into unconsciousness, but somewhere else. Everything in it’s time. I’m also those waves, growing myself spiritually at the exact right time and phase.
I used to think that to. But recently things changed and I realised it takes no effort or discipline at all. It doesn't even take meditation. You just need to see from before the "I"
There are times when my thinking kicks in and I say to myself, "right now". It pulls me out and I start with appreciation for the simplest things: the ground I'm walking on, a bird that flies by, the simple fact that I am here, and I usually try to end with an appreciation for all these other souls within their biological units sharing this experience. It never fails to put a smile on my face and give the right kind of perspective. One day I hope to never have to put myself in check. It does seem that the more I practice the more I am in the state of being. Cheers 👏 to everyone working on themselves, we got this!
We are all a work in progress, and it's really good to share and celebrate our progress with each other 👍👍👍👍sharing makes everyone's journey that much easier and enjoyable ❤️❤️❤️
I was just thinking that his words reminded me of the power of art, I mean beautiful art, not the dystopian or self- indulgent stuff they try to pass off as art today, but the beauty of art that Roger Scruton spoke about.
I've always felt a compelling urge to play a part in humanity's grand endeavors, aiming to harness the levers of influence, secrets to optimal well-being, and safeguarding. The longing for acknowledgment has remained steadfast, not born of vanity or excess, but rooted in a profound sense of self and mission. Inside, there's an insatiable thirst to explore the intricacies of human comprehension, pursuing insights reserved for the chosen few. My goal is to embrace the wisdom that our forebears ardently hoped we'd grasp.
t's natural to feel the way you do; being human means having emotions. If you're on a quest for deeper understanding, joining the Illuminatus can open doors to enlightenment and beyond. Despite its mystical aura, there are real paths you can take to become a member.
Certainly! , are you suggesting that it's realistically achievable to join? I've often thought it's only accessible to those from specific financial backgrounds.
Certainly, that's intentional; it's what they want you to believe.. Delving into the concept of Radiant Reservation will offer a more profound insight into the subject and open doors to exclusive groups.
They aren't a covert organization; instead, they function subtly, embracing those sincerely committed to improving humanity. Should you aspire to propel our species forward, they'll extend a welcoming hand, presenting wealth, influence, considerable impact, hidden knowledge on well-being, and most importantly, age-old wisdom unraveling the intricacies of global matters.
For me the moment you realise you are not your mind or the thoughts it produces you are awake, and what follows is freedom to realise what is and no longer need to think, know or create a story about what might possibly. Accept what is Trust what will be And be grateful for everything These 3 things for me are the key to freedom and happiness
After leaving the workforce, giving birth to my son, going thru postpartum, grieving the loss of my brother & leaving the city I lived for over 20 yrs, I encountered someone who ultimately led to my spiritual awakening. This video perfectly depicts what it means to awaken. A beautiful little bird flew right into my chest yesterday and flapped its wings and then flew away. A baby was giggling and smiling at me as if I had angels by me. These little things mean the world to me now. ❤
I sometimes cry for no reason when I listen to him. Through those innocent and curious eyes, you have a split moment of peace and spaciousness, only that is enough to make you feel life is worth living for
Awakening is going into a state of pure awareness. Like everything that arises is noted as something that arises from you. You understand you are the source of your experiences and you are also able to observe this source without judgment. Thank you, Eckhart, -Much love from a growing UA-camr
Seeing babies is something, but seeing your own baby for the first time is something else. I'll never forget that moment. I was just awestruck by the miracle of life. All I could experience was "Wow". I guess that's what spiritual enlightment is; a perpetual state of wow, gradually followed by a consistent state of peace.
For me, it doesn't even have to be my own baby. As a former EMT---I have been present with a patient at the moment of birth. Even though I never knew these people---the moment that baby finally emerged into the world and uttered it's first cry---I would tear up--every single time. There is something sacred about the timing of coming into the world--and the time of leaving the world. The great mystery of life.
Actually, this is something Eckhart talked about. The mind can be silenced sometimes when you are confronted with IMMENSE beauty, and of course, that can be seeing your own child. :)
I started reading his first book and watch his conferences some days ago, maybe midd november 2023. I started making the meditations and "staying still" with my mind and its so funny!!! I cannot get to feel what he is teaching but is like feeling the Universe is cheering me up 😂 "You can! You can!" Then I realize is my ego and there I go again feeling this funny sensation. Sorry for my english Im not english speaker). I realize this makes me want to live after years of depression and that is what I feel is awesome!!! Wow!! Those thaughts! I'm almost 60 and I knew I had to stay alive for some reason. I knew it. Thank you Eckhart.
An amazing thing appears, when I watch Eckhart Tolle's videos. When I see him talking his words of wisdom I immediately feel very deep bliss of calmness. My one dream is to meet him some day. Hopefully I will. I want to shake his hand and look to his eyes. People like him are treasures to humankind.
In its own way it is different… I had an awakening experience and a long time trusted friend who channeled Michael channeled a message that at that particular moment my “aura” went from 3 feet to expanding 3 miles out. Affecting everyone within that area. Michael said that the energy field of Jesus expanding 30 miles. Again, raising the frequency of those in the area by whatever degree was possible for them
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And of course "The Kingdom of heaven is within you."
Yes. And more than you may realize. From: LIFE AND TEACHING of the MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST, Baird Spalding, 1927. Revised 1964 This is the story of a three-and-one half year research into the teachings of the Great Masters of the Himalayas in 1894, of which Mr. Spalding was a member Vol 3, chapter V, page 47. Jesus explains that when each declares having Christ within, one must accept the fact that one IS the Christ, and IS God: “That one sees the higher body of himself vibrating at a higher rate than does his limited body, that he also sees. These which appear as two, are only an appearance because he does not believe that he is the Christ. Let him declare himself the Christ, and actually accept it as a fact. Let him declare that the Christ of God stands forth, and at that instant, he IS the Christ of God. He then must go forth, direct to God, the Father, and declare definitely, and know positively without fear, that he IS God.” Gospel of John 10:34 “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’ John 1:14 (NIV) “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (Neville Goddard says this is a mis-translation. Should be, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling within us.”. The creative power of the Universe dwells WITHIN us )
2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you.” Galatians 2:20-“It is Christ who lives in me” “I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; Luke 17:20-21 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."

My spiritual awakening started very very slowly, by questioning things over a period of about 20 years. It however didn't become obviously until after the day I found myslef thinking "it would be easier if I just wasn't here any more" and that I should just "unplug" and start again. I started paying a lot more attention to my thoughts after that.
If more people could take a little time to listen to Eckhart Tolle - the world could be a better place. He's message is Cristal clear and has changed my life. For you who want inspiration -Download his audiobooks they are fantastic!
I ordered his video from Blockbuster or Netflix years ago. When it came in I turned it out and was turned off really quickly! Who is this little guy sounding so pompous!! Two weeks or so later I my scalp was burned bleaching my hair. The doc gave me painkillers and antibiotics. The second film of his came in (I had originally ordered 2,) and I put it in doubtful. 3 years later I was running a meditation group in my livingroom that later landed at a meditation center as it grew. That was 2015 and the group is still growing strong. Sometimes we need a nudge from the universe before we can take things in. I’m now hooked on Buddhism and will likely never bleach or dye my hair again 😝
I am a pisces dreamer, adhd, bipolar 2, ptsd, GAD. 50 yrs human. I studied philosophy and sociology and psychology. I have read important teachings. Tolle has looked into what he speaks professionally and personally. Tolle's books and talks are very dear to me. He makes it all so clear, the life situations versus the actual life in the NOW. I cannot find anything to dislike about his books. Everyone should read and Surrender to the beatiful nature of NOW. After all, Now is all your attention needs, now is all there is. ❤
In 1998, when I stopped drinking alcohol after many years of abusing it, I saw a field of flowers. It looked - felt - simply wonderful. Magical. I felt "at one" with it. I get those feelings more now. Waterfalls, butterflies, and animals mainly. And today babies do not instantly cry when they see me!!
A year or so ago I had awakened but did not recognise it as such. There was a sense of calmness that everything was working out great in my life. I saw all the beauty around me and I had a fantastic sense of wholeness and well being. It lasted about six months then disappeared. I am trying to find that feeling again with Ekcart's help.
I had that too!! I have been chasing that ever since and it has been a few years.... just pure bliss. I could feel the things around me slowly starting to pull me into the other state again untill the feeling was gone
Yes me too. I am struggling to get out of that other state and will keep trying and going back to Eckhart Power of Noww. In the meantime chop wood and carry water. All an experience I think to appreciate what others might be going through.
I’m 24, I didn’t realize it until recently, but my awakening began when I was around 5. I was in a certain situation that caused me to face death. Unknowingly at the time, staring into the abyss was the first time I experienced the illusory quality of who I thought I was. Of course I was not able to process any of that at such a young age, so my awakening stayed stagnant for many years. I went though the rest of my life feeling like I was floating, almost constantly dealing with depersonalization and derelization. When I was 18 I was ready to start peering back down into myself, and the process of awakening continued.
I was amazed at how detailed Hidden Astral Projection Techniques on Shirlest are. The insights I gained were mind-blowing, and I finally experienced my first astral projection after diving into it.
Me too, when I had mine I didn't believe in God, knew nothing about spirituality or what an awakening was. I think about it every day. There was a whole world out.there I knew nothing about and even though I know everything happens for a reason and we're exactly where we're supposed to be I wish it would've happened yrs ago. My only problem is idk one person, personally, who is awake.
@@ozgursenturk11-11 Yes, here in this illusion we are. It's the only planet where we have the veil of forgetfulness to learn through physical pain and experience food, working... it's the best place for the soul's evolution but in reality you're right we are infinite souls. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely not saying I know but at this stage on my path it's my understanding along with a few more. 💜🔆
@Bamboo You haven't experienced it yet so iyour comment is understandable, believe me I would've felt the same way but you don't hv to be rude to people you don't know it's shows you're fearful.
Dealing with my mothers dementia and all the constant suffering was enough to kickstart my awakening. Awakening to me is that you realize you have an ego and that you totally identify with the ego and your emotions. I was completely unconscious and was completely identified with them. Ekart made me realize that I was the watcher of my ego and that when I did not watch my ego I would fall back into identifying with my ego and emotions again and suffer. Thanks Ekart for teaching us.
As soon as my thoughts shut down, the bliss & consciousness, that are always there, come to the surface - the most beautiful of experiences! Following my breath always brings me to the present.
Yes and it gives us a deep feeling and sense of such Love that I want to stay in that moment forever. I want to let go of all material possessions and just have that Love forever💕💜💜💜
@@moondive4ever I've been meditating for 50 years now. I do sitting meditation for about 30 minutes per day (I used to sitting meditation for 2 hours/day for the first decade), & also try to stay in a meditative state while walking, driving, etc. The important thing is breath awareness.
@@moondive4ever It was gradual, although I had profound moments all along the way. I still have moments where I get distracted, but more & more, calm in-the-nowness has become the norm. In-breath, 'so', out- breath, 'hum'.
When my awakening happened, i was in on the hills , felt like I was touching the air , feeling clouds , the rays ☀️ of sun touching my hands , excessive self conscious , excessive crying , the ultimate 🥏 realisation that we create our own reality and live in the illusion of others
I have that too, I sometimes have an overwelming, a very deep feeling of faith, totally game changing. They call it cryes of serenity. I'm really aware of comedy playing of manipulative people, feeling lonely seeing this. I still have ego and anxiety coming back but my body is so much in need of me getting to rest and deepening that and I try to please it. I think I know I'm not my thoughts, but I think it's going to be deeper and I can feel my essence. I feel more and more the inside of my body I felt my heart beating for a few days, that was so beautiful^^ I think you had sort of total mindfulness, it happened to me in my home, like a change of dimension. I wanted it to never stop. I can't imagine when you expérience it in nature. How amazing^^
i experience " excessive self conscious " often - mine is rather strange - i feel a strong awareness of myself as if i'm witnessing another self of me - and then i can't be alone -
I think what clicked for me years ago was when you said there was a time that you said to yourself something like I can’t stand to live with myself. Well then that implies that there are two of you. And then you realize that thought is not who you are. It’s just a thought. Who you are, just is. And your thoughts aren’t entirely relevant - how you think of yourself. It’s your story. Your experiences. Your perception. But it’s not the essence of who you are in the stillness between the thoughts. That’s when I learned that the ego is not anything more than Edging God Out!
@@Phantom-ez4zv first of all it is yin and yang and a cute answer is yes and know. you are hot and cold, you are right and wrong, you are smart and dumb, you are wrong.
@@Phantom-ez4zv To reach those higher levels is only possible with the help of a great spiritual master..............Falun Dafa, no arguing please, check it out or don't, your choice.
The level of dread that comes with awakening is too much for some humans. I almost lost one of my sisters. Thankfully we awakened bc of her and now we all speak a language that few understand. We can comfort and support each other 🤍 may you all have the best human experience possible.
I can " hear " my thoughts and not identify with them anymore. A huge relief, however sometimes i fall into identification with thoughts sometimes but that is part of the practice but when i go more " Unconscious" .. i sense that! So the awareness is always there. Thank you Eckhart ❤ this practice that Eckhart is pointing to is NOT a quick fix! (The ego will resist it ) But the treasure when you find it is beyond this world. ♥️
I did experience that moment that you speak of. It was more than the beauty (lavender sky), the air/atmosphere FELT different. I am GUESSING that it lasted a few or five minutes. It was grace. I am no where near conscious, but that moment was unlike anything else. I was not praying or meditating. It just came upon me as I turned away from emptying the trash!
Going into peripheral awareness is the best way we've found to quite the mind and connect to the unconscious mind and higher consciousness. It's such a beautiful place to live and share with others. Thank you for being a trailblazer in awakening humanity. 💛
Spiritual awakening for me is the most meaningful, touching, loving experience of my life. I literally started bawling when it hit me and I discovered my true self! I am so happy. Info being constantly being downloaded. Being freed from all the damage done before now that I have access to all the answers!
Love you Eckhart. It was the best impression of a one-year old ever. Your eyes are so priceless and are an open gateway to your soul. I want to come and hug you.
I have become ‘spiritually awakened’ to Problacism. I have come to realise that what Jesus was telling us: that we live in one conscious, omnipotent and loving universe - is the absolute truth. I know this because I am a 'conduit' for the universe. It continually 'tells' me what it wants me to do and how it wants me to do it, through a continual succession of incredible opportunities and coincidences. I have free will - as we all do - but my main guidance is that I'm not allowed to do anything which might result in my personal gain, recognition or reward, and I must make the most of everything I have and take every opportunity I am given. I must also help anyone if I can - I know the universe has sent them to me and expects me to help them in some way. As you can imagine, this personal relationship is a great joy to me: I totally trust in the universe and I’m totally relentless. I am changing the world for the better in profound ways, but nobody 'sees’ that the universe is doing this through me. So true what you say about babies too - my wife and three adult children have said: 'don't let Dad near a baby - he's so embarrassing!' - they fill me with joy.
Some may say that the recognition of thought is a thought, but I agree with Eckhart. It is, for a very short, clear period of time, awareness or presence. Very solid point!
“Even if you achieve your outer purpose, it will never satisfy you if you haven't found your inner purpose, which is awakening, being present, being in alignment with life.” - *🙏🏽ECKHART TOLLE , ❤️🤍❤️ Your WISDOM UA-camr🌸☀️*
I awakened in 2024 after 22 years of despair grief and depression .the pure joy i feel now is unbelievable in every moment i feel life is to be enjoyed. I visit people and bring a little gift ,spend time with them talking and sharing laughter. Its all part of my healing and leading a better life. I hope everyone will experience joy in their lives soon.❤
i feel like the grip of my ego is failing, whereas before it was like being possessed. & lately it is losing, the volume on it grows weaker as acceptance of what is, allowing what is to come and go, & Tolle has been there for me thru these teachings, he comes back again & again to these themes that are so vital, while other teachers offer shiny new flavors, Tolle is preparing food that nourishes the soul.
Uh nope, emptiness is the absence of light, how can you experience peace into darkness? The only way is to die completely, death of your own egotistical ideas and rebirth of a new self. Accept the light of the Sun, accept CO2 instead of oxygen, awaken to Sun's light and you can pass through it's gate into heaven.
I have worked on getting rid of all my emotional baggage for the last 5 years and I have never felt better about myself and now I am ready to move forward with my life and I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing now. I strive to be that Godly woman I was created to be. That is the desire of my heart. I just found your channel and I find what you are presenting very compelling. I don't have anything planned for my day so I am going to do a marathon of your videos and I pray I come out enlightened more than I was when I started.
"The recognition of thought is not a thought. The recognition of thought comes through awareness or presence." "Spaciousness is a dimension of consciousness in you." Thank you.
When I received Jesus into my heart I received the Light of the Holy Spirit in me. I am forgiven and loved. I've been spiritually awakened ever since. Prayers got answered the scriptures make sense. Once I asked God into my life I've been awakened and blessed.
Ironically I experienced spiritual awakening after I realized that Jesus wasn’t real and escaped Christianity. I came to the awareness that I am my own Savior. I needed nothing outside of me as I’m not lacking anything and everything outside of me is just an illusion, it’s all a story. The only thing that’s real is what’s inside of me. I’m already whole and complete ❤️
Thank you so much Eckahart Tolle for all you have done to help me push for something that alot of people are failing to understand. Because of this sudden realization I seen my indigenous people needing a voice for our hurt. I feel like I have healed to a point where I can be that voice with my experiences to bring awareness to indigenous mental health and how it should be treated differently.
Thank you for existing Eckhart Tolle! Thank you for sharing 'power of now' with the world. I felt the no-mind, being present feeling and it has stayed with me. So so grateful to you for sharing your wisdom, love, experiences with us in such simple terms ❤❤❤
Awakening shows you that you are beyond thoughts feelings perceptions... that all of these appear and disappear in you, YOU AS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS THAT IS ALWAYS. You see-realize that who/what you really are cannot come and go, cannot die. Feelings of great peace, love, joy, and freedom come. You see that life is not what you thought and neither are you! When you are liberated from the lack and limitation of mind, you live from awareness and are comfortable and confident living from the unknown, this present moment. You are free to be whatever is this moment. You are the formless as well as the fluid form. You ARE the unconditioned Love that you deeply desire. Turn inwards using meditation and Self Inquiry with all the sincerity of your heart...and then you are grace prone to have an awakening. Namaste!
You help so many, and we are grateful 🙏 Love is all around us when we can be open to it. Peace and love for you Ekhart 💕 and everyone of us to know a higher truth exists....we are more than our egos for sure.
Your book changed my life.. each and every moment of life feels like a game. I watch over my thoughts. Whatever happens i feel this calmness. Thank you for this amazing gift which was inside me but wasn't able to find without you ❤
For me, I realized exactly like Eckhart said. I was at a low point of my life and on my way back to home when suddenly, I saw a bunch of yellow flowers and a bench on the greenest grass hit by the sun rays. It was a magical experience. Sure the view was beautiful but it was so much more than that! I don't know how much time I spent on the middle of the street looking at that painting-in-real-life. And something shifted that day. I started experiencing this feeling every time I saw a storm, or the sun hitting with a different angle. I never thought something as simple as nature could make me feel this way!

What works for me when feeling down is to remember that God exists, that higher consciousness exists, and my lifework is to become one with it. Or as Einstein puts it - "I want to know the thoughts of God, the rest is just details." Or as Elkhart puts it - "to become spacious." The only drawback is that I cannot share these things with my family, because they will think l am going crazy. I just have this mental picture in my head if my mom or my girlfriend saying - "What do you mean to become spacious?" It always puts a smile on my face, just imagining me coming out about God and consciousness and my whole believe system.
Don't worry about what others think from this moment on after reading what I just said, worrying about what other things suppresses you and forces you not to do what you came here to do.
if i look back at my old self , i say 10 years ago it seems like i was an other person i complain way less and sometimes when i do i can see it and feel what it does to my body thank you Eckhart for the power of the now and for showing the way !
I was "woken" fully on one particular night I felt a feeling that is indescribable ( not one adjective or all are suffice) I have never, in my life felt this. I do feel more aware and I hope, I don't dismiss this.. ever. Although my lifestyle conflicts, I remain hopeful..
Sometimes I stare at the night sky or even the setting sun and just have tears fall down my face in such awe. Learning to be in awe no matter the circumstances is both a healthier lens to view life through, and a good way to feel connected to all. I appreciate the value of all of you who exist out there and envision the path of true happiness and peace for each and every one. Call it blessings, divine truth, or just plain good will, I ask the infinite universe to grant it for everyone and everything. We all deserve love and peace and to find the truth within ourselves.
“Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me Other times, I can barely see” I remember when I realized what the Grateful Dead meant with these lines. Eckhart just stated it so eloquently when describing the moments of spaciousness that some experience.
Once you get rid of clutter or distractions, you can be fully conscious/aware, and you can stay in that realm forever. It is the realm of power. NO IMPOSSIBILITIES IN THAT REALM!!
I have had many times of knowing that there is a deeper meaning to our lives. Finding this video is another step for me to become more aware. Thank you

Suffering led me to spiritually awakening. I find it amazing how much suffering it took to get there. Decades of immense suffering...mostly from my own ego mind. Ever since reading the Power of Now about a year ago and applying the techniques that Eckhart taught in his book my mental state has markedly changed for the better. My ego mind tells me it is a tragedy that I discovered it so late in life, after I had already destroyed any future I might have had if I had not been lost in my ego mind suffering. But I also know that what is, simply is, and that acceptance, forgiveness to myself, and living in the now is all that really matters. Why surrender the beauty that is now for the pain that was...
ditto Dan...it's amazing how that pain slides away when you see if for what it is. You explain it so well, thanks.
Very good explanation of none dualism, recently on my stages of looking 😊
It is amazing ! I love how when the thought “you have discovered this too late in your life when there is no future for you anymore” appeared, you spot that and recognized it as the mind trying to trick you again coming from the back door 😄 I relate to this as similar tricky patterns operate in me as well, but are recognized and cannot take control :)
Also remember that there was never any future anyways… there is just now, thats is.
Suffering led me to surrendering which awakened an awareness within. 👑
@@michaeljlumpkinesquire so then we could say that those without suffering like we had will have a harder time to awaken. The more pain we have, the easier it is to awaken to reality. But narcissists are in pain too and they would have a harder time to awaken. Harder to see the forest for the trees for them than us. hmmm...guess i just told myself how to not judge them so much. cool.
My awakening felt like a pure bliss of joy. My mind was always in the future, and when I turned to present, I finally felt the taste of the food in my plate, the smell of the air, the beautiful forms of leaves of trees in the park, i felt the warmth of the sunshine while seating on a bench... all these life and happiness can only be felt in the present, not future or past.
Nice to know that, Nika. Namaste 🙏
Thank you
But unless you find a righteous spiritual practice, you will have to come back here and remember it all over again and again............falun dafa
What you're describing is what we all do or experience anyway, at least some of the time. No spirituality required.
@@gribwitch I am not talking about every day life. If one just lives day to day, one eventually will find the body decayed, diseased and then death., followed by reincarnation. we all have been in this maze for thousands of years. Inevitable, but a righteous spiritual practice can break that cycle and show us how to return home to Heaven, not with death. Compared to Heaven, Earth is a sewer...............Falun Dafa ..........
As a tradesman I often have to work outside and I would often check the weather in advance to see if was going to be too hot during summer, or too wet during winter. I was always stressed if it wasn't ideal. How ridiculous this now seems to me. Now I understand what is meant by surrender to what IS. I am now free from complaining or disappointment. In fact I smile now and adapt as best I can to what IS. I have also lost all my anxiety because I now realise how I used to create this state by living in the future and my mind always filled it with problems. It has changed my life so much and everyday I see things more clearly. Yesterday I was starring at some plants in the park because I was struck by something odd. All the plants were exactly the same but one had burst into blossom with many yellow flowers. As I starred at it I was suddenly aware that this plant among many had awakened. It almost brought me to tears. It felt so personal.
Lovely.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m also a tradesman and I really felt what you said😊
It is not polite to stare. Just kidding. Wisdom is only attained through suffering so I guess that you are stuck but don't worry heaven will not forget you.
Beautiful!
No one is worried lol
I am almost convinced that the more messed up you are, the quicker you awaken. The level of suffering escalates to a level that is unbearable. That's when it started for me. Thank God it has progressed to the point that peace came followed my clarity. I am so grateful for having been blessed.
Some of the most messed up people are now the most awakened. This makes me very optimistic. 😂😊
@@joemusicman64😂
That’s what happened to Eckhart.
Jung said only suffering leads to a higher consciousness.
Life is a dream and some of us are in a nightmare. If you’re in a nightmare your main focus is to wake up. That’s the gift of suffering, without it we wouldn’t have any desire to awaken ❤
Reading the book changed my life. The moment I realized that the mind is a but a tool and thoughts are not who I really am, I could detach myself from anxiety and panic. This is coming from someone who suffered panic attacks for years and almost constant anxiety. I was addicted to negative thoughts and my mind and emotions controlled almost everything I did.
Good on you keep it up 🤙🏽 and btw which book is this ? and also any other tips on dealing with anxiety / panic attacks, I struggle with it daily and cant fully function 😔
In my opinion spiritual awakening is not a one time process but requires everyday repetition and discipline cause you know the outside world challenges you everyday.
Thank‘s for the eye opener Eckhart 🙏🏻
Mine comes in waves… I become unconscious and drift back into my mind.. forget who I really am… and thank goodness my spirit brings me back around again, each time I’m more conscious of my true self than I was the time before. So it must be meant to happen. Eventually I’ll be enlightened and the waves wont pull me into unconsciousness, but somewhere else. Everything in it’s time. I’m also those waves, growing myself spiritually at the exact right time and phase.
I used to think that to. But recently things changed and I realised it takes no effort or discipline at all. It doesn't even take meditation. You just need to see from before the "I"
It also requires a great teacher...............Falun Gong.
@@rosemadder5547 What is it you feel like when you "remember who you really are", Rose ? I don't know, because it hasn't happened to me.
@@macaroon147could you explain more ?
There are times when my thinking kicks in and I say to myself, "right now". It pulls me out and I start with appreciation for the simplest things: the ground I'm walking on, a bird that flies by, the simple fact that I am here, and I usually try to end with an appreciation for all these other souls within their biological units sharing this experience. It never fails to put a smile on my face and give the right kind of perspective. One day I hope to never have to put myself in check. It does seem that the more I practice the more I am in the state of being. Cheers 👏 to everyone working on themselves, we got this!
There is no one to work on themselves🤗🙏❤
I'm with ya friend all the way. I say "right here right now" because that song is so awesome. Gratitude, it's so important. Cheers to you.

As Eckhart says noticing natural things does help our spiritual awakening. Today in Canada I am looking out the window at the beauty of snow.

That's why I find making art to be so satisfying. I get so into the moment that time doesn't exist and I'm blissfully happy.
I was just thinking that his words reminded me of the power of art, I mean beautiful art, not the dystopian or self- indulgent stuff they try to pass off as art today, but the beauty of art that Roger Scruton spoke about.
Exactly, when I do wood burning art I drown into that work that I dont realize time passes
Flow
It's not only art, it's when you are fully invested into something, for exemple in climbing or in other sports you can feel those moments.
Same with playing and instrument or singing.
I've always felt a compelling urge to play a part in humanity's grand endeavors, aiming to harness the levers of influence, secrets to optimal well-being, and safeguarding. The longing for acknowledgment has remained steadfast, not born of vanity or excess, but rooted in a profound sense of self and mission. Inside, there's an insatiable thirst to explore the intricacies of human comprehension, pursuing insights reserved for the chosen few. My goal is to embrace the wisdom that our forebears ardently hoped we'd grasp.
t's natural to feel the way you do; being human means having emotions. If you're on a quest for deeper understanding, joining the Illuminatus can open doors to enlightenment and beyond. Despite its mystical aura, there are real paths you can take to become a member.
Certainly! , are you suggesting that it's realistically achievable to join? I've often thought it's only accessible to those from specific financial backgrounds.
Certainly, that's intentional; it's what they want you to believe.. Delving into the concept of Radiant Reservation will offer a more profound insight into the subject and open doors to exclusive groups.
That's absolutely amazing ! I deeply appreciate your suggestion. I've just researched RR and swiftly reached out.
They aren't a covert organization; instead, they function subtly, embracing those sincerely committed to improving humanity. Should you aspire to propel our species forward, they'll extend a welcoming hand, presenting wealth, influence, considerable impact, hidden knowledge on well-being, and most importantly, age-old wisdom unraveling the intricacies of global matters.
Eckhart imitating a baby is the cutest thing ever.
One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. Calm is a super power.
Much Love from a Law Of Attraction UA-camr 💜
You are full of b.s😂
For me the moment you realise you are not your mind or the thoughts it produces you are awake, and what follows is freedom to realise what is and no longer need to think, know or create a story about what might possibly.
Accept what is
Trust what will be
And be grateful for everything
These 3 things for me are the key to freedom and happiness
…and what a relief it is knowing you are not your mind. You are an immense, love, light being💜

Awaking is not finite............................Falun Dafa
Who’s the “you” that had this realization?
This is still the dream-self acting and realizing.
After leaving the workforce, giving birth to my son, going thru postpartum, grieving the loss of my brother & leaving the city I lived for over 20 yrs, I encountered someone who ultimately led to my spiritual awakening. This video perfectly depicts what it means to awaken. A beautiful little bird flew right into my chest yesterday and flapped its wings and then flew away. A baby was giggling and smiling at me as if I had angels by me. These little things mean the world to me now. ❤
let’s get a show of hands of how many people were led here because they are in recovery from addiction/alcoholism 😌
I feel very blessed to have gotten here through that path. I doubt I would have found Eckhart otherwise. Amazing. ❤
I sometimes cry for no reason when I listen to him.
Through those innocent and curious eyes, you have a split moment of peace and spaciousness, only that is enough to make you feel life is worth living for
When you find your way and no longer need to listen and read to Eckhart and others. You have found your own way. This is the way.
It's always good to hear from other kindred spirits.
@@purge2--u--nite342 🙏🙏❤️
Awakening is going into a state of pure awareness. Like everything that arises is noted as something that arises from you. You understand you are the source of your experiences and you are also able to observe this source without judgment.
Thank you, Eckhart,
-Much love from a growing UA-camr
Well said ! 😁
@@claudiaarzillo1626 Thank you :D
Yes indeed Well said…
There is no 'you'
@@martingarreis it means that you see yourself as the source of all of your experiences, things don't happen to you, they happen from you.
Seeing babies is something, but seeing your own baby for the first time is something else. I'll never forget that moment. I was just awestruck by the miracle of life. All I could experience was "Wow". I guess that's what spiritual enlightment is; a perpetual state of wow, gradually followed by a consistent state of peace.
Baby's first thought is mommy dearest. Quit guessing and get down to what you are truly here for, to seek the divine, falundafa.
For me, it doesn't even have to be my own baby. As a former EMT---I have been present with a patient at the moment of birth. Even though I never knew these people---the moment that baby finally emerged into the world and uttered it's first cry---I would tear up--every single time. There is something sacred about the timing of coming into the world--and the time of leaving the world. The great mystery of life.
A lot of us appreciate the beautiful things in life. But it doesn't mean we're all going to become spiritually inclined and rush home to meditate.
Actually, this is something Eckhart talked about. The mind can be silenced sometimes when you are confronted with IMMENSE beauty, and of course, that can be seeing your own child. :)
I started reading his first book and watch his conferences some days ago, maybe midd november 2023. I started making the meditations and "staying still" with my mind and its so funny!!! I cannot get to feel what he is teaching but is like feeling the Universe is cheering me up 😂 "You can! You can!" Then I realize is my ego and there I go again feeling this funny sensation. Sorry for my english Im not english speaker). I realize this makes me want to live after years of depression and that is what I feel is awesome!!! Wow!! Those thaughts! I'm almost 60 and I knew I had to stay alive for some reason. I knew it. Thank you Eckhart.
An amazing thing appears, when I watch Eckhart Tolle's videos. When I see him talking his words of wisdom I immediately feel very deep bliss of calmness. My one dream is to meet him some day. Hopefully I will. I want to shake his hand and look to his eyes. People like him are treasures to humankind.
Don't forget
People like you are treasures to humankind too!
“I’d like to meet him.” Me too! Let’s visualize meeting him at an odd place. Like the men’s restroom of a Planet Fitness.
In its own way it is different… I had an awakening experience and a long time trusted friend who channeled Michael channeled a message that at that particular moment my “aura” went from 3 feet to expanding 3 miles out. Affecting everyone within that area. Michael said that the energy field of Jesus expanding 30 miles. Again, raising the frequency of those in the area by whatever degree was possible for them
@@tammylewis9324 Sorry, who's Michael...?
His teachings are just a start on the arduous road to wisdom.............Falun Dafa
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And of course "The Kingdom of heaven is within you."

From: LIFE AND TEACHING of the MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST, Baird Spalding, 1927. Revised 1964
This is the story of a three-and-one half year research into the teachings of the Great Masters of the Himalayas in 1894, of which Mr. Spalding was a member
Vol 3, chapter V, page 47. Jesus explains that when each declares having Christ within, one must accept the fact that one IS the Christ, and IS God:
“That one sees the higher body of himself vibrating at a higher rate than does his limited body, that he also sees. These which appear as two, are only an appearance because he does not believe that he is the Christ. Let him declare himself the Christ, and actually accept it as a fact. Let him declare that the Christ of God stands forth, and at that instant, he IS the Christ of God. He then must go forth, direct to God, the Father, and declare definitely, and know positively without fear, that he IS God.”
Gospel of John
10:34 “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’
John 1:14 (NIV) “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
(Neville Goddard says this is a mis-translation. Should be, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling within us.”. The creative power of the Universe dwells WITHIN us )
2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you.”
Galatians 2:20-“It is Christ who lives in me”
“I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me;
Luke 17:20-21
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."

Awakening Just Helps You Get Out of Mental Illness
It's not a scary mystical ritual
but remember
Only the right religion can save your soul
[If you are a devout Christian
You must fill you with the Holy Spirit
Study the life of the Lord Jesus]
If you are [Buddhist]
or [Taoist] followers
You will follow advanced wake-up instructions
so as not to lose yourself
[Religious rituals cannot be mixed]
God does not redeem education other than biblical education
My spiritual awakening started very very slowly, by questioning things over a period of about 20 years. It however didn't become obviously until after the day I found myslef thinking "it would be easier if I just wasn't here any more" and that I should just "unplug" and start again. I started paying a lot more attention to my thoughts after that.
If more people could take a little time to listen to Eckhart Tolle - the world could be a better place. He's message is Cristal clear and has changed my life. For you who want inspiration -Download his audiobooks they are fantastic!
I ordered his video from Blockbuster or Netflix years ago. When it came in I turned it out and was turned off really quickly! Who is this little guy sounding so pompous!!
Two weeks or so later I my scalp was burned bleaching my hair. The doc gave me painkillers and antibiotics. The second film of his came in (I had originally ordered 2,) and I put it in doubtful. 3 years later I was running a meditation group in my livingroom that later landed at a meditation center as it grew. That was 2015 and the group is still growing strong.
Sometimes we need a nudge from the universe before we can take things in. I’m now hooked on Buddhism and will likely never bleach or dye my hair again 😝
They aren’t clear at first in my opinion but they are making more and more sense and connecting deeper and deeper everytime
Only when your time has reached to know the truth only then you will see and get attracted to what he is teaching.
My sister can’t even consider listening to him. Full of ego.
My sister is full of ego identities.
I so very much love the Eckhart comment section. You are all wonderful teachers.
The greatest teacher on earth is Master Li Hongzhi.
We’re all wonderful students
I am a pisces dreamer, adhd, bipolar 2, ptsd, GAD. 50 yrs human. I studied philosophy and sociology and psychology. I have read important teachings. Tolle has looked into what he speaks professionally and personally. Tolle's books and talks are very dear to me. He makes it all so clear, the life situations versus the actual life in the NOW. I cannot find anything to dislike about his books. Everyone should read and Surrender to the beatiful nature of NOW. After all, Now is all your attention needs, now is all there is. ❤
What is gad
Don't label yourself and disidentify with everything you think you are. What's left is the real you!
Get rid of all those labels friend. You are perfecto made ❤
@@petermcglone7172 Agreed. Tolle mentions ACIM, that seems to resonate in a profound way.
In 1998, when I stopped drinking alcohol after many years of abusing it, I saw a field of flowers. It looked - felt - simply wonderful. Magical. I felt "at one" with it. I get those feelings more now. Waterfalls, butterflies, and animals mainly. And today babies do not instantly cry when they see me!!
A year or so ago I had awakened but did not recognise it as such. There was a sense of calmness that everything was working out great in my life. I saw all the beauty around me and I had a fantastic sense of wholeness and well being. It lasted about six months then disappeared. I am trying to find that feeling again with Ekcart's help.
Was it a partial awakening almost ? Like it was just a glimpse ?
I had that too!! I have been chasing that ever since and it has been a few years.... just pure bliss. I could feel the things around me slowly starting to pull me into the other state again untill the feeling was gone
Yes me too. I am struggling to get out of that other state and will keep trying and going back to Eckhart Power of Noww. In the meantime chop wood and carry water. All an experience I think to appreciate what others might be going through.
I’m 24, I didn’t realize it until recently, but my awakening began when I was around 5. I was in a certain situation that caused me to face death. Unknowingly at the time, staring into the abyss was the first time I experienced the illusory quality of who I thought I was. Of course I was not able to process any of that at such a young age, so my awakening stayed stagnant for many years. I went though the rest of my life feeling like I was floating, almost constantly dealing with depersonalization and derelization. When I was 18 I was ready to start peering back down into myself, and the process of awakening continued.
I was amazed at how detailed Hidden Astral Projection Techniques on Shirlest are. The insights I gained were mind-blowing, and I finally experienced my first astral projection after diving into it.
thanks so much
very good book

Waking up is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. 🙌 I thank my spirit guides and family of light every day 💕
It didn't happen to "YOU"... That's is the last illusion you may need to realize because there is no "You"🤗❤🙏
Me too, when I had mine I didn't believe in God, knew nothing about spirituality or what an awakening was. I think about it every day. There was a whole world out.there I knew nothing about and even though I know everything happens for a reason and we're exactly where we're supposed to be I wish it would've happened yrs ago. My only problem is idk one person, personally, who is awake.

Don't get me wrong I'm definitely not saying I know but at this stage on my path it's my understanding along with a few more. 💜🔆
@Bamboo You haven't experienced it yet so iyour comment is understandable, believe me I would've felt the same way but you don't hv to be rude to people you don't know it's shows you're fearful.
Dealing with my mothers dementia and all the constant suffering was enough to kickstart my awakening. Awakening to me is that you realize you have an ego and that you totally identify with the ego and your emotions. I was completely unconscious and was completely identified with them. Ekart made me realize that I was the watcher of my ego and that when I did not watch my ego I would fall back into identifying with my ego and emotions again and suffer. Thanks Ekart for teaching us.
As soon as my thoughts shut down, the bliss & consciousness, that are always there, come to the surface - the most beautiful of experiences! Following my breath always brings me to the present.
Yes and it gives us a deep feeling and sense of such Love that I want to stay in that moment forever. I want to let go of all material possessions and just have that Love forever💕💜💜💜
How long it take you? Months, years? How long do you meditate (minutes/day) to have reached that point?
@@moondive4ever I've been meditating for 50 years now. I do sitting meditation for about 30 minutes per day (I used to sitting meditation for 2 hours/day for the first decade), & also try to stay in a meditative state while walking, driving, etc. The important thing is breath awareness.
@@SatMatt7 So how many years or months then do you believe for you, you awakened and can access your higher self.
@@moondive4ever It was gradual, although I had profound moments all along the way. I still have moments where I get distracted, but more & more, calm in-the-nowness has become the norm. In-breath, 'so', out- breath, 'hum'.
When my awakening happened, i was in on the hills , felt like I was touching the air , feeling clouds , the rays ☀️ of sun touching my hands , excessive self conscious , excessive crying , the ultimate 🥏 realisation that we create our own reality and live in the illusion of others
I have that too, I sometimes have an overwelming, a very deep feeling of faith, totally game changing.
They call it cryes of serenity.
I'm really aware of comedy playing of manipulative people, feeling lonely seeing this.
I still have ego and anxiety coming back but my body is so much in need of me getting to rest and deepening that and I try to please it.
I think I know I'm not my thoughts, but I think it's going to be deeper and I can feel my essence.
I feel more and more the inside of my body I felt my heart beating for a few days, that was so beautiful^^
I think you had sort of total mindfulness, it happened to me in my home, like a change of dimension. I wanted it to never stop. I can't imagine when you expérience it in nature. How amazing^^
Mee too the grass, trees and the sky felt so inside me and so bright.❤
i experience " excessive self conscious " often - mine is rather strange - i feel a strong awareness of myself as if i'm witnessing another self of me - and then i can't be alone -
Maybe, you have only taken a baby step on a very arduous path, falundafa.
I think what clicked for me years ago was when you said there was a time that you said to yourself something like I can’t stand to live with myself. Well then that implies that there are two of you. And then you realize that thought is not who you are. It’s just a thought. Who you are, just is. And your thoughts aren’t entirely relevant - how you think of yourself. It’s your story. Your experiences. Your perception. But it’s not the essence of who you are in the stillness between the thoughts. That’s when I learned that the ego is not anything more than Edging God Out!
When you become awakened, life never looks the same ❤ thank you 🙏 spirt guides

To look to see without labeling! How liberating! No need to judge, comment, compare! Ahh!
The level of dread that comes with awakening is too much for some humans. I almost lost one of my sisters. Thankfully we awakened bc of her and now we all speak a language that few understand. We can comfort and support each other 🤍 may you all have the best human experience possible.
Echart I love you. Thank you so much I have never felt so free. Much love from Indonesia to everyone in the planet.
8:30 Yes, it is an amazing feeling looking into a baby's eyes. And the little smile that accompanies it, is pure bliss.
Just that I know what you are saying is my first step to awakening., but still my whole life changed .
I can " hear " my thoughts and not identify with them anymore. A huge relief, however sometimes i fall into identification with thoughts sometimes but that is part of the practice but when i go more " Unconscious" .. i sense that! So the awareness is always there. Thank you Eckhart ❤ this practice that Eckhart is pointing to is NOT a quick fix! (The ego will resist it ) But the treasure when you find it is beyond this world. ♥️
I did experience that moment that you speak of. It was more than the beauty (lavender sky), the air/atmosphere FELT different. I am GUESSING that it lasted a few or five minutes. It was grace. I am no where near conscious, but that moment was unlike anything else. I was not praying or meditating. It just came upon me as I turned away from emptying the trash!
This is so true. Many people look through a veil...
When your mind is too noisy you are unable to perceive anything in actual form..How Profound... Thank you for this teaching..
Awakening is the glimpse freedom from the stream of thinking...
What a spiritual teacher ! We are so glad he is sharing all this wiseness with us.
I just love his little giggles…
Gratitude, love and prayers❤🙏
Going into peripheral awareness is the best way we've found to quite the mind and connect to the unconscious mind and higher consciousness. It's such a beautiful place to live and share with others. Thank you for being a trailblazer in awakening humanity. 💛
Spiritual awakening for me is the most meaningful, touching, loving experience of my life. I literally started bawling when it hit me and I discovered my true self! I am so happy. Info being constantly being downloaded. Being freed from all the damage done before now that I have access to all the answers!
Love you Eckhart. It was the best impression of a one-year old ever. Your eyes are so priceless and are an open gateway to your soul. I want to come and hug you.
I have become ‘spiritually awakened’ to Problacism. I have come to realise that what Jesus was telling us: that we live in one conscious, omnipotent and loving universe - is the absolute truth. I know this because I am a 'conduit' for the universe. It continually 'tells' me what it wants me to do and how it wants me to do it, through a continual succession of incredible opportunities and coincidences. I have free will - as we all do - but my main guidance is that I'm not allowed to do anything which might result in my personal gain, recognition or reward, and I must make the most of everything I have and take every opportunity I am given. I must also help anyone if I can - I know the universe has sent them to me and expects me to help them in some way. As you can imagine, this personal relationship is a great joy to me: I totally trust in the universe and I’m totally relentless. I am changing the world for the better in profound ways, but nobody 'sees’ that the universe is doing this through me. So true what you say about babies too - my wife and three adult children have said: 'don't let Dad near a baby - he's so embarrassing!' - they fill me with joy.
Some may say that the recognition of thought is a thought, but I agree with Eckhart. It is, for a very short, clear period of time, awareness or presence.
Very solid point!

& Tolle has been there for me thru these teachings, he comes back again & again to these themes that are so vital, while other teachers offer shiny new flavors, Tolle is preparing food that nourishes the soul.
'Emptiness' 'Space' 'Gratitude' 'Love' means nothing to me but 'Peace & Harmony' immediately clears the self & smothers me in oneness.
Uh nope, emptiness is the absence of light, how can you experience peace into darkness? The only way is to die completely, death of your own egotistical ideas and rebirth of a new self. Accept the light of the Sun, accept CO2 instead of oxygen, awaken to Sun's light and you can pass through it's gate into heaven.
ET’s facial expression of a baby is priceless, of course he is right in what he says but so amusing at the same time
I have worked on getting rid of all my emotional baggage for the last 5 years and I have never felt better about myself and now I am ready to move forward with my life and I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing now.
I strive to be that Godly woman I was created to be. That is the desire of my heart.
I just found your channel and I find what you are presenting very compelling.
I don't have anything planned for my day so I am going to do a marathon of your videos and I pray I come out enlightened more than I was when I started.
Oírlo me aquieta mi espíritu. También su voz me consuela . GRACIAS Gracias Gracias
Why surrender the beauty that is now for the pain that was...Living in the now & making the best of such a gift is all that really matters!
🙏
We need more light from the Sun, POWER, GIVE ME MORE POWER.
I've been listening all my life to those voices.....ask questions and have been sent over the world to save lives
"The recognition of thought is not a thought. The recognition of thought comes through awareness or presence."
"Spaciousness is a dimension of consciousness in you."
Thank you.

... my spaciousness discovery arose from being alone during the pandemic. I realised I preferred stillness and nature to the clutter 🙏♥️

When I received Jesus into my heart I received the Light of the Holy Spirit in me. I am forgiven and loved. I've been spiritually awakened ever since. Prayers got answered the scriptures make sense. Once I asked God into my life I've been awakened and blessed.
AMEN!!May I ask what year? My AWAKENING was completely Christ driven in 17' after something catastrophic.
Ironically I experienced spiritual awakening after I realized that Jesus wasn’t real and escaped Christianity. I came to the awareness that I am my own Savior. I needed nothing outside of me as I’m not lacking anything and everything outside of me is just an illusion, it’s all a story. The only thing that’s real is what’s inside of me. I’m already whole and complete ❤️
I love you Eckhart. You changed my life when I was given the Power of Now in 2005.
Thank you so much Eckahart Tolle for all you have done to help me push for something that alot of people are failing to understand. Because of this sudden realization I seen my indigenous people needing a voice for our hurt. I feel like I have healed to a point where I can be that voice with my experiences to bring awareness to indigenous mental health and how it should be treated differently.
Thank you for existing Eckhart Tolle! Thank you for sharing 'power of now' with the world. I felt the no-mind, being present feeling and it has stayed with me. So so grateful to you for sharing your wisdom, love, experiences with us in such simple terms ❤❤❤
Awakening shows you that you are beyond thoughts feelings perceptions... that all of these appear and disappear in you, YOU AS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS THAT IS ALWAYS. You see-realize that who/what you really are cannot come and go, cannot die. Feelings of great peace, love, joy, and freedom come. You see that life is not what you thought and neither are you! When you are liberated from the lack and limitation of mind, you live from awareness and are comfortable and confident living from the unknown, this present moment. You are free to be whatever is this moment. You are the formless as well as the fluid form. You ARE the unconditioned Love that you deeply desire.
Turn inwards using meditation and Self Inquiry with all the sincerity of your heart...and then you are grace prone to have an awakening.
Namaste!
I have many impluses to burst into tears while i watched this.
You help so many, and we are grateful 🙏 Love is all around us when we can be open to it. Peace and love for you Ekhart 💕 and everyone of us to know a higher truth exists....we are more than our egos for sure.
Your book changed my life.. each and every moment of life feels like a game. I watch over my thoughts. Whatever happens i feel this calmness. Thank you for this amazing gift which was inside me but wasn't able to find without you ❤
One can see the purity in his eyes. Such a wonderful being. Thank you for your time & helping us in the process of awakening. Love & Light ✨
It's nice to know that people still care about what is important.
I appreciate that you have related the translation "emptiness" with spaciousness, this helps my understanding.
For me, I realized exactly like Eckhart said. I was at a low point of my life and on my way back to home when suddenly, I saw a bunch of yellow flowers and a bench on the greenest grass hit by the sun rays. It was a magical experience. Sure the view was beautiful but it was so much more than that! I don't know how much time I spent on the middle of the street looking at that painting-in-real-life. And something shifted that day. I started experiencing this feeling every time I saw a storm, or the sun hitting with a different angle. I never thought something as simple as nature could make me feel this way!

That's exactly what happened to me.... The first point anyways. It's realizing there was a constant stream of thoughts that never stopped.
I love Eckhart in the now,right now now
What works for me when feeling down is to remember that God exists, that higher consciousness exists, and my lifework is to become one with it. Or as Einstein puts it - "I want to know the thoughts of God, the rest is just details." Or as Elkhart puts it - "to become spacious." The only drawback is that I cannot share these things with my family, because they will think l am going crazy. I just have this mental picture in my head if my mom or my girlfriend saying - "What do you mean to become spacious?" It always puts a smile on my face, just imagining me coming out about God and consciousness and my whole believe system.
Don't worry about what others think from this moment on after reading what I just said, worrying about what other things suppresses you and forces you not to do what you came here to do.
Don't run from it embrace it
In happiness and in sadness, know we are all with you in God.
I feel that Aaahhhhh and cooky smile every time i see a new Eckhart video in my UA-cam que !!! it’s like , “oh, there’s my good friend. “
I share your knowledge with all that I can. You will always be a hero of mine, and for that I thank you.♥️✨
forgiveness to myself, and living in the now is all that really matters. because surrender has the beauty.
if i look back at my old self , i say 10 years ago it seems like i was an other person i complain way less and sometimes when i do i can see it and feel what it does to my body thank you Eckhart for the power of the now and for showing the way !
Proud to be in the process of an awakening. Best of all, doint alongside my best friend who is in the same process.
I was "woken" fully on one particular night I felt a feeling that is indescribable ( not one adjective or all are suffice) I have never, in my life felt this.
I do feel more aware and I hope, I don't dismiss this.. ever.
Although my lifestyle conflicts, I remain hopeful..
Sometimes I stare at the night sky or even the setting sun and just have tears fall down my face in such awe. Learning to be in awe no matter the circumstances is both a healthier lens to view life through, and a good way to feel connected to all.
I appreciate the value of all of you who exist out there and envision the path of true happiness and peace for each and every one. Call it blessings, divine truth, or just plain good will, I ask the infinite universe to grant it for everyone and everything. We all deserve love and peace and to find the truth within ourselves.
“Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times, I can barely see”
I remember when I realized what the Grateful Dead meant with these lines. Eckhart just stated it so eloquently when describing the moments of spaciousness that some experience.
:)
Tolle is a master who can teach how to live in the now, very wise.
Once you get rid of clutter or distractions, you can be fully conscious/aware, and you can stay in that realm forever. It is the realm of power. NO IMPOSSIBILITIES IN THAT REALM!!
I have had many times of knowing that there is a deeper meaning to our lives. Finding this video is another step for me to become more aware. Thank you
True relief is whenever I realize that the problem IS the solution.
Very deep, in never heard this before
@@mightjaazuz4348 nah....it's just what Eckhart teaches....when u accept What is and realizes it's your best guru....
Aren't we all worthy of the truth? We are all gurus and we know each other very well.
I love Eckhart Tolle, what a beautiful soul. Thank you!
You don't need signs if you're awake .
And you don't need any one to tell you that you are awake
All the videos I've watched over the past two years and i finally got what consciousness is in 1min 12sec of this video. He explained it so easily
So Nice that you say about the baby Mr Tolle 🍃💜🍃
This guy really has some wisdom. I’m into Zen and that works for me but I can see why lots of people find his approach helpful.
