    I remember almost drowning as a youngin. After all my struggle to get above water I just couldn't. At some point I gave up and started excepting the fact that I was going to die. In that realization as I desended, I was completely aware of my self. Things seemed like they were in slow motion but wonderful. It was the most beautiful peaceful moment I had experienced. Suddenly a really tall swimmer white dude came out of no where and pulled me up. As I gasped for air I heard him say "I gotcha buddy". I knew it was him saying it, but inside I interpreted those words as the universe speaking to me. Saying I gotcha, no matter what you experience.

    One of the happiest aspects of Eckhart's personality, is his unassuming nature.
    There are musicians like that. They don't gyrate all over the stage, they just play, or sing.
    They "just" are. The music is in them, and they are in the music. That is awareness.

      Satipattana sutta is in core of buddhas teachings (which is tradition Tolle is dumbing down) and is translated as continuation of mindfullness, sati. This reguires cultivation of wisdom, investigation, brahma viharas and persistance. Mindfullness isnt something done by me, neither is attatchment, they are functions of the mind, conditionally arising. So condition your mind to continuously have conditions for mindfullness arise. You cant get the while picture without it. Its like watching a movie but 90% of the movie you been watching your phone. You wont know whats been happening, missing the chain of causes and effects.

      Sigmund Freud defined the ego as "that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world" and the id is the "primal instinctive part of us which wants to achieve pleasure at any costs". Saying goodbye to the ego may allow the id to run riot leading to constant instant gratification. Any new age guru telling you to lose your ego is a danger to himself and society which is the chief requisite of a mental health section under the Mental Health Act in the UK.

      This is great. That is my practice right now. When I remember, I ask myself, ”are you mindful?” Then I say, ”I don’t know let me check” and I try to experience three things with my senses. It could be the warmth of the sun against my skin, or a tingling in my right knee or the sound of a bird. I have bought myself a clicker (counter) which I carry around and then I give myself three clicks.
      I try to be honest to myself and be truly aware, not to conceptualize what I experience with my senses; not to give the bird a name say blackbird - just experience it.
      It is a fun game and rewarding to see at the end of the day how many clicks I got that day!

    Use your five senses as awareness rather than as the interpreting mind. This would be enough as spiritual practice.
    This requires alertness, otherwise thinking take over.

    Relaxed alertness.

    You can just feel that what Eckhart says is true. I can feel his presence and just listening to him speak gives me comfort. Imagine if the majority of humans had this awareness and positive aura/spirit/consciousness (whatever you want to call it). I hope he's correct that humankind is being prepared for a large spiritual awakening in the future. I may not still be around, but I want that for posterity.

    This morning I was walking my bicycle to a tunnel that passes underneath a busy super highway in downtown Grand Rapids (pop. 300,000). On my journey walking the bike to the tunnel, I met a large white tail deer (a doe). I talked to the deer, and she did not flee. We were 100 yards from danger, the highway which calls to the deer to cross during rush hour. I told her to stay safe. I never met wild animals until I began to bicycle, which heightened my alertness by a factor of immeasurable multipliers. I have a lot of white noise in my brain when I bike in traffic, and this man Tolle has helped me to block the verbal self babble and begin to replace it with the mountain stream.

    Alertness is the key to everyday. Every day we look and listen and we see what is going on, because we are spirit and all beautiful things are available to us all. Awareness in every minute. Intuition is our best friend. Love it and listen to it. Spirit loves us in all ways. Sometimes we are interfering with information, but try it and see if you can get the message to help and love you on your path. Many blessings to all who hear this! I love you more than you could fathom. We all are working each day and shouldn’t be without gods divine messages. Thank god for all the people who try and succeed with sharing love. Love is all there is and all else is irrelevant. Stay the desire to commune with spirit and eventually all will be revealed.

Stop thinking and just live. The birds singing help us do this. Wind whispering. The feeling of the water. Notice 5 sounds. Then notice 5 things you can feel. Now taste. This helps being us from an anxious state to a state of peace.

    I've always have done everything from my Heart, think, feel etc.... Ever since I was a very young child (5 to 6yrs old)
    A year or two ago I also don't have a sense of time anymore either. I didn't even know that I had an Ego before my Spontaneous Spiritual Awakening a few years ago.? Then I learned & discovered that I had one but it's a Spiritual Ego instead of having a "Normal Ego"
    But I've always have been Present & Aware of everything around me without realizing that it was/is called Be Present or called Awareness, I was just Always Naturally in that State. I Feel & Believe that I was Born that way to prepare me for this Awakening.?

    Whenever you feel that you are over there, ask yourself, "Where are you?"
    The right answer is " I am here."
    And "What time is it?"
    It's Now.
    Whenever or wherever you are, ask yourself "I am present?" When you're driven by thoughts, the question replaces you to the present.
    If you're alert, or present and not away, you don't need to ask yourself any question, just you are!
    With time practice, you will observe that time becomes shorter more and more between these questions.

    His speaches are always interesting, and often with some humour ! But, here I have to say that not all fully enlightened or aware humans are here just because it's enjoyable! On the contrary! Often, these beings are here to show the path to enlightenment to others seeking, and often those light beings have a very tough time on this plane. Because of their good nature and kindness. When not protected by a community or so, then they are very vulnerable. And the lower vibrational people seek to harm them to the core. This needs to be known. Because those few of the fully conscious beings need to be protected in order to help, whilst in a safe environment. 🙏
