Stop Chasing Possessions: Go beyond Material Wealth | Eckhart Tolle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2024
- In this video, Eckhart explores the idea that true satisfaction in life goes beyond material possessions. He emphasizes the importance of connecting to a peaceful inner state to fully enjoy life's experiences, regardless of one's surroundings. Eckhart also discusses how true abundance originates from an internal state of Being, rather than external wealth.

This man deserves the whole world 🌎 I love him so dearly for waking me up to the truth ❤️
Eckhart had an extraordinary enlightenment that completely changed his life. His book The Power of Now completely changed my life.
The Power of Now!
Enlightenment is not a "one time only" event; and it's not a "one size fits all" even either. When one experiences the beginning stages of enlightenment, one has to nuture and cultivate it, and continue to expand it. What does an enlightened entity do??? She/he does what one always does.......chops wood and caries water. Obviously it's more complex than that, however, We think you get the point. In essence we become what we already are. Namaste.🙏😊
The more you can live without, the richer you are.
Check this guys net worth and how much is he charging for his TV and stuff.
Ole Eckharts gotta a few bucks in the bank. Fer Sher.
Less is better.
you can say the same thing about having people around
@@alexscotte1383 I agree.
I HAVE OFTEN JUST GONE INTO MY TINY CLOTHES CLOSET FOR PEACE AND ITS VERY SOOTHING.... EVEN FELL ASLEEP,,..LIKE A CAVE GETAWAY ❤
That is truly beautiful🎶♥️🌎🌴💐✨🎊🙏🏽
So true, you can’t find happiness in things. I find the most happiness helping people, especially my children and grandchildren children. Just spending time with them is pure joy.
Since I recognized my negative relationship with money, the anxiety it causes, I become more easygoing, even though It’s a phase in my life when money is lacking. I feel now that it will come to me, especially as I found tremendous inner peace since I’ve detected this negative mental conception within.
We can treat life like viewing a beautiful art gallery. We can appreciate all of the art and the beauty without having to own the peices and take them home. Treat every day like you are on an exclusive tour exploring the most fantastic art gallery that is only on display for this very present moment before it becomes something new that is equally beautiful and abundant next
I treat life like an ever passing landscape of horror, suffering and inescapable torture.
Pure wisdom. God bless you 🙏
Possessions that are used to create or do something like a fishing rod, guitar, camera or a tennis racket are great. But a $10k watch keeps the same time as a $250 watch. Your possessions can own you if you are not careful.
That's so true 🙏❤️
this guy has like 80 million, would he give half of it to help others? no way
Joy arises neither from inside nor from outside but from nowhere. Nowhere is everywhere.
The beauty of NYC, from the subway, 42nd Street & into Central Park, is
taking all the cacophony to create a beautiful symphony, going to no where in particularly.
❤ NYC❤
It is the dream of form...and if you recquinise for what it is then you free!!!! You don't take seriously, do not react , nothing stays for ever...❤❤❤❤ Just Love.
This is amazingly good. The other trap in life, is to feel you have to have things, to not be a loser and belong to group. I have a lovely local park to go to, which is my little garden of Versailles. Ok, I don't own it, on a title, but I'm only temporary anyways so there's no point.
Agreed! Even if we paid money for it, we still don’t own it .
i once read a quote cannot remember it exactly, something like:
we are all temporary workers,
driving our rental cars from our motel rooms to our temp jobs & back again..
I always think that too. If it was tour garden you'd have to trim the hedges and plant the flowers! I live in the countryside where there are no parks unfortunately but I like to pretend I own everything or that it's mine in a way like the cows and hills and houses around me. It makes me feel good to feel like it's my village in a way. And it's also nice to think that I live like a medievil king. When I don't have any money or something I sometimes think oh no...but then I remember I have nettles in the garden and I usually do have enough money to buy an onion and make nettle soup and I think haha look at my fancy cooker and my fancy porcelain plates how I live like a king couldn't even dream in a medievil time! 😂
@@chickadeeacres3864or have to mow the lawn😂
The same feeling with "my beach" near home.
Only 5 minutes walking.
I don t have money to travel but i feel so rich there, I cant believe my luck 🌊✨🙂
Unless you purchase things that are correct for you. As this video was playing, I stood up. I noticed a chair I bought three years ago and I love it as much every time I look at it today. Maybe it’s the gratitude for it? And I like to do the Marie Kondo thing where I give gratitude to things that have worn out their usefulness before letting go of them.
Many thanks! I remember years ago you speaking about your need to step away from urban sprawl after you experienced the shift you experienced. I'm finding as I get older, I long to leave the city - I long for nature. Appreciate you!
New pilgrim: go for it. Cities are designed to keep us occupied, to keep us away from nature. Cities will continue to decline, at least in America, so if your desire is to go to the countryside, go for it. Plenty of farm help/gardening help needed.....
Very True money will give you comfort but no happiness!
When I'm comfortable I'm happy too.

Thanks Mr. Tolle for this video!
If you live in a inland town in England in the north , it is horrendous . Traffic non stop ,no nature around at all , no birds singing ,no rivers , just concrete pavements , and rows of terrace houses . If you can afford to escape for 2 days on the coast the difference you feel is amazing .
Nature!
I could listen to him all day
Buddha spoke of this never ending unsatiated desire for possessions. It ruins the soul , I believe was what he said. It becomes a never ending saga.
Some people are so poor all they have is money 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wish I were poor that way ahahha
💕 SO enjoy listening to Eckhart Tolle and appreciate him so much 💕
Best first book ever read 🌟 THE POWER OF NOW 🌟
It is ALWAYS now
The 🎁 of the present
Great book!
You are so kind to us. We appreciate it very much.
Yes! First look for the fullness in life WITHIN, not in things or people outside! Love you, Eckhart!
Love from the inside and share your wealth...your spiritual wealth. It's hard to describe in words...but you want to build abundance for others because we are all one.
Oneness!
Non attachment is the goal ❤
I remembered cleaning a home for a lady and she kept trying to give me things I always declined her gifts 🎁 I completely missed the point her things were so important to her and I now realize that I offended her by not accepting her stuff I admire beautiful things but honestly I'm quite content with the basics 😊
Thats it You accept it for her sake not yours 😊❤
Gifts!
Im grateful for your genuine sharing and guidance.
I am poor and I am happy no matter what because I found Christ Consiousness and God does in fact take care of my every need as long as I do not doubt. I have always believed that money and spirituality do not belong together but it took me years to figure these things out and it was very difficult. I was one of those people who went through constant stress and struggles. It is so easy to say you can stay peaceful without money when you have millions.
Christ C
That adults are enamored by things blows my mind.
Thanks Eckhart! 💜
Gratitude!
I love you Eckhart
Genius explanation, thank you, so clear
So much to think about here. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Eckhart. Peace and love. 🙏
I feel this way when I go through antique stores...I really enjoy looking at all the stuff...and then leaving it there! haha...really, I have no (or very little) need to possess the stuff. I just enjoy looking at it, and it's actually easier to not possess it.
Gratitude
Regards, thank you, spot on
Merci beaucoup pour vos enseignements ils sont précieux M TOLLE 🙏
Money will not give you happiness. Money can give you comfort.
I think a happy man doesn't worry about money...he doesn't worry about not being able to pay bills, and doesn't worry about always wanting more money... it's just not something he has to worry about either way.
Physical comfort, only, not emotional or spiritual.... comfort in those areas depends on eradicating negative personal feelings & repetitive thoughts, after understanding their source.
Great teaching, great lesson, wealth is not so much important as all true scriptures says.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am also awakened to 'The Source' and it is certainly like this for me. This is a much needed understanding about Creating Abundance that has now been beautifully clarified in Truth. Much Love
love this man.
What an incredible person..
But a better business man.

Great video, love and light to you my friend... If anyone happens to read this... remember, your potential knows no bounds. Keep pushing forward with unwavering determination. - ButterflyAwakening 🦋
The man is helping human beings become enlightened to what is the most important thing to have freedom
So present.
Wow ! What an eye opening video
🙏 Dear Eckhart, I like your cleverly wise way of explaining 🙏. You are a master of words 💜✨🕊️🙏. I live in a nature 🌱 at the edge of a city. It is Freedom to choose 😊🎶💃🍀🙏. I love the big game of Life 💞🌎✨🙏. With Love and Gratitude, you must be my Soul family 💞💫☀️♥️🙏. Wishing you happy days 🍀🍀🍀🙏
Thank you 😊 Thank you 😊 😘 I love you 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So agree and so grateful for these free videos you provide, because your in-person training and even your online courses are not anywhere close to the average persons budget, I did save and pay over One Thousand dolors for one of your on line courses…seems all the spiritual people are also cashing in on the need for more and more money…I get it we all need to make a living, but wow in one of my classes there was over 1000 people online with me watching you, that to me would be equivalent of many many days of work…
Discount!
My thoughts too sometimes, but then I remember that there's also enough free stuff available, and I can then shift into gratitude 😊. Cheers.
Wow, thank you so much for the wise words, and yes, I think most of us have too much going on about prosperity, which I also think is given to us when we let go of this, and I think it really covers that we just want to be loved, then we are safe and then we don't need this prosperity at all, I think, so I think I just let go and say, dear God, I want to feel your love and I let myself be loved by God
Wealth and health is what I want and aim for nothing else
Moula and health!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you
It came at the right time for me! Such wisdom! thank you
Thank you for watching.
Wisdom!

Fundamentally, abundance is getting in touch with source of life within, and recognise it’s who you are.
Then you enjoy the play of forms.
Experience abundance of experiencing life.
Thanks Eckhart. 21 March 2024. 💡🏃😇🐥😇🐥🚀🔔⛳️
You saved me today. Thank you 😊
Awesome messages and appreciate Eckhart's sense of humor.
Personally I prefer to be present i the now and to be the vibration of joy in the now so that I attract shiny new objects that bring joy, or be the vibration of the peace of nature and guess what, I attracted a great place to live surrounded by The Catskills Wilderness area. Things are just things and are temporary but happiness is an inner state that can be cultivated and then we attract those temporary things that match our state of energy. Very important lesson often lacking in main stream Law of Attraction teachings. Joe Dispenza teaches this too. Namaste
Well said. We are blessed to have Joe and Eckhardt ..
@@SIERRATREES Indeed we are. 2 of my all time favorite teachers. When I read “The Power of Now” in 2000 it changed my life. i healed from lifelong condition doctors said I’d never heal from using Dr. Joe’s principles so as they say, the proof is in the pudding.
I wrote about this mental wealth, I called it, our happiness well. It must be kept full to give us a reason to be happy. But, filling the happiness well brought debt. Because, to be happy things that will best give us days, maybe weeks of happiness feels good. But, it creates its own stress and worry about how to afford the payment for the short-term happiness. So, we end up being depressed or anxious about debt incurred by feeding what turns out to be the feeding of our egos. So, again our we're identifying with form, we're not making ourselves happy only the ego gets happy, while we the authentic us gets the bill for it. I also call this the the circle of life. We're not needing or wanting anything, but our egos do, and we can't see that our unhappiness is due to the ego, which we identify as being self. Ego can play the part of individuals so well that even the individual can't tell that it's ego, not self...
Tough message for a consumerist culture but very necessary
For my dear Eck,
Hi and... thank you so much.
From 2.
The best things in life are not 'things'❤
Wonderful
Aman Always tolle!!. Very greatful Ever. 💯💝🙏😌
When I finally got the home I had been dreaming of for a long time through manifestation, I didn't want anymore more and more. I am happy and grateful every day in my home. It gives me a good feeling and security all the time. Is there something wrong with me? Have I done something wrong? 🤔
Is my happiness about this material wrong?
Nothing wrong with that either, only to give the ego a sense of temporary satisfaction. True gratitude is when appreciate the fullness of life at this present moment. What can you be grateful for right NOW? not the material things you have, im talking about the aliveness that surround you wherever you go. You can start by acknowledging your sense perceptions.
So a homeless person who is hungry gets real happiness by admiring flowers, because he excludes his own ego and the feeling of hunger.
Easy for you to say
Love you Master ❤
Master!
Thank you for watching.
Thank you thank you thank you sir
i mean.. wouldnt it be great if you were so rich that you have all the time in the world to meditate, eat delicious food, read all the books about spirituality and sleep whenever you want to? im not in it for the material things.. but some things in life cant be pursued if your mind is pre occupied with work, financial instability, lack of time etc
That’s rubbish. If you have all the money in your life very few people will realise their true potential. You grow and evolve only when you are challenged and not in being comfortable. Even in chaos or running around of daily life find 30-40 minutes for yourself and connect to your inner self, meditate, do yoga and breathing exercises and then see the difference. You can’t say that when everything is perfect only then I will start my spiritual journey. Your mind is in constant thinking pattern you just have to get hold of it.
@@Rsinha702 having all the money in the world doesnt mean there is no more challenge. See the great ones neville, allan watts, eckhart they say material things arent important and yet all of them are filthy rich
Man is cursed by his desire to want want and want.
We dont only want what we have but what others have.
Speaking for me i was conditioned to want living in a material world, just look at Christmas as a child.
Im now 70, im glad i have a home, its a basic need, but money doesnt satisfy me, it doesnt bring me peace.
I thought i knew so much, now realise I dont.
More!
@CJRelationshipConsulting well it's not only physical possessions but sometimes even a 4elationship can be seen as physical possession.
The notion that if you have limitless money will mean you will be permanently happy is foolishness
There are four myths about happiness
Humans ought to be happy all the time
If your not happy, then you're defective
You should not have negative thoughts
We can control how we think and feel.
This is from a book entitled The Happiness Trap by Doctor Russ Harris.
So getting back to my original statement we love happiness but happiness is always transient, it comes and goes and often by chance.
So we buy a fix, a car etc, a guitar we envy etc.
When I hit puberty I realise how much some of my school mistresses made me feel, one day I rubbed the bottle that held the genie and the genie popped out.
As I got older I thought happiness could be permanently procured through marriage to a woman, in someways this is true but of course ,arrange is hard work, I know I have been married 44 years nor.
However it is still to easy to have the desire to consume, perhaps If I got a later model with more go I can restore happiness.
A man who has never had a fantasy over a another woman doesn't exist.
However I have never cheated on her physically and never would ut the male desire was always there.
If consumerism brought happiness then the rich and famous would be permanently happy.
We all believe the lies of fairytale and Hollywood.
And so The princess married the princess and they all lived happily ever after.
Well Charles married the beautiful fairy Tale princess Diana but of course he really love the dominatrix Mistress Camilla.
Diana died, Charles married his mistress and now has Cancer.
So much for fairytale.
Fullness of life thanks to
Growing up whenever someone came to my house and said they liked something, my mom would give it to them. lol! I think us kids on the surface just thought she was silly or crazy. But on some level, it gave me a deep peace that listening to this also gives me. 🙏🏼

Almost 80 and looking allways the same guy🎉
IDK, I have a 2 year old son and we rent in an economy where rent is virtually unaffordable so I am pretty keen to build some financial wealth so I can buy a material house for my family. Would be great not to have these fears and needs.
I believe that the reason many people are in this situation is because the system of global governance is so designed against us working class people. I believe that the chaos we're seeing in the world is the end of an era of legal slavery if I can call it that. I really believe that we're growing up as a collective, and we're going to be more caring and compassionate towards each other going forward, and we're going to get rid of the system of governments that have been enslaving us for the benefit of a few . Do the best you can, create the best you can . This too shall pass. Cheers.
Easier said, than done. Try to live normally, happy life if there is a shortage of bread and butter on your table, or if You get bailiffs on your back all the time. It's absolutely true in today's world. We don't live in an Amish community, so face the reality. In today's world money is a medicine, and Yes, it does bring happiness.
💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿🙏🙏🙏
( I love you Eckhart)
Interesting to note although, money pays the bills etc, it fails to bring us lasting joy. It does however, highlight the need to look within where all true happiness lies 🙏🏼
Look in!
Dear Eckhart, you are not only a great teacher, but also an excellent actor. ❤😊🙏👍
yes, his subtle inflections & story telling is perfect, & makes it look effortless..☻️
I love it when he giggles!
I trust that's not "acting"
@@zovalentine7305 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
He is also an amazing hypocrite. According to Celebrity Net Worth, in 2023, Tolle posted a net worth of $70 millions. He was charging $20 a month on Hulu, which is a lot, and then puts some of that to his foundation for image. Then there is the fact that a lot of what he says is deprived of reason. People falling for him without paying attention to what he says and to how he lives compared to what he preaches.

Eckhart Tolle's Net Worth....... $70-80 Million. He must be doing something right.😳
I believe he is born from god like any of us
I don’t get either one of your points. Eckhart was homeless and sat on a park bench for two years. Odd jobs, etc. He was compelled to write The Power of Now. The book is the best selling spiritual book…etc. Trust me. He’s the real deal. Pay attention, get present and watch your life change and abundance comes…

You need to connect with the source
Not depend of the environment to feel peaceful
Source!
Also,,THE WAY UP TO MORE $$ IS ALWAYS A JOB AND THEN KEEP YOUR ATTITUDE GREAT AND WATCH WHAT THE UNIVERSE PRESENTS YOU SO YOU CAN MAKE MORE $$$...ITS A FUN PROCESS....i barely had tortillas and tuna to eat but over many years i basically promoted myself through dedication and great work ethic❤❤❤ MOST Anyone can do it,,but i noticed thay many just dont stay focused on WHAT IS AND GET DISSATISFIED and QUIT...
NEVER EVER STOP MOVING

How about the maslow pyramid? The top is creativity, expression, morality. Freedom from needs freedom with as osho would say, to recognize your free is not enough, to participate in the play means being creative and being creative entails sharing and making of stuff; yet the sauce can be lost again and the making of stuff could be just a fever pitch repeated. One can easily read text or a video message, but to really allow is different. My parents are rich and when i went living on myself i destroyed all my possessions even my bed. My only possession was a mattress. I felt free from then because society before always pushed me to be a compulsive ego and a compulsive status possession chaser. But society came after me and money poured in, and again things went from nothing to a house full stuff. I ended up with interior design and art instead of destroying everything. When i destroyed everything people claimed i needed to ‘recognize the social standard of stuff that needs to be owned to be recognized as normal’ xp what a world
Addicted to live hasnt been a cliche for very long i suppose❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When different cultures cover their bodies, one can feel that in life all are equal.❤
The only possessions I’m after are tools of creation and those don’t really wear off!
Exactly, Banksy the artist would call it ‘exiting through the giftshop’. the source is the gift that keeps on giving and it happens even if you do nothing, beyond your physical-psychological processes yadda yadda, so creativity is the form of superrationallity thats offgrid and puts consciousness to good use. For example its not a good use of consciousness to be in control because the very nature of consciousness is not in control nor is it reproduction or top of the hill. Its more like the Enlightenment/conversion of st Paul in a painting by Caravaggio. Paul just received insight an inner vision, realization. He fell on the ground is just helpless. Yet he obviously forgets his all modes of selves. This image always comes to mind. Still its better coming back acting as a beinghuman than claiming to be the holy spirit, people are going to sense the happiness and if you form it into a political gesture to revolt, people are going to even more try to chase ‘it’ down. They want then what you have/are but if it requires some magic they rather take out the source than to have to discover it themselves. People chase the guru down, not because he is guru, but because they want what he has. Its pointless. I think thats the danger of realization making claims about it in the social realm its all right its all wrong. Anonymously in nature making pointless stuff comes close to freedom. Who cares anyway, especially in central europe, the society apparatus keeps going on like a big grey machine. Nobody has time for fluffy stuff like realization. All the more space for me to be happy and nobody knows it
Creation tools!
Its been here now for a long time et ❤god bless
In my later years of existence I took pleasure in bying clothes (new or mostly second hand) to match from shoes to pants to shirt to coat or jacket to accessories. It makes me feel a bit more like my real persona. It is what i am. I like to dress .
I´m glad that Eckhart finally got decent clothes on in this speech that complement in colors and style . 🙂 I´m not joking. Its beautiful in itself. Nothing much else is needed in the material world. Its a small sacrifice to make. And its not material as such
Stylish clothes!
