My dog is my guru. All I teach him is how to sit, walk on the side of the road, and not jump up on people. He teaches me how to joyfully be, how to walk with confidence, how to have curiosity for everything, how to have love and empathy for all, how to live in a community/a pack. We are still scratching the surface of what the special dogs can be for humans.
You are very blessed to have such a phenomenal guru in your life and that you are a great student from a great master, as he is a great student from a great master. Divine design you are together
Absolutely and very well said! ❤️
he has orangutan soul
beautiful
beautifully said ❤
My dog for over 10 years died in July. She was truly a blessing in my life. We communicated through our eyes.
We both used to just sit and watch. Sit at the front door, sit at the beach, sit at the park, sit everywhere and just watch.
I always thought she taught me this unexplained stillness, I’ve come to the realisation that we taught each other. She was truly my soul mate for all those years and felt immense pain when she left this world.
Dogs can pull you to who you truly are just by observing them.
A blessing for sure
So sorry for your loss but you have such precious and profound blessings and teachings and memories to treasure forever
@@findingnadinyo369 thank you and she does hold a space in my heart for ever
July for me as well. He would have been 17 last week. He had dementia for the last year. That taught me a lifetime of love in itself. He was also my soul mate. I retired 5 years ago to be with him full time after burying another. He was the 14th captivator of my heart that I have buried in my 57 years. @Herosbuggarden is his channel I made. My heart is severely gutted but there are so many I am here to rescue still.
Dog is in heaven blessing you
I love how babies start out with no ego too. You look into their eyes, and there is just a pure consciousness.
I wonder what babies dream about... 🤔
Yes! Looking into a babies eyes is like diving into an ocean of love! And then The other ripples - mommy and daddy, Ripple - grandma and Papa Ripple - Teacher ripple - preacher Ripple-TV and video game ripples move into ego conditioning mode. You are a ripple, baby! You are this ripple, baby! You are my ripple, baby! Be the best ripple and make me proud! You are cuter than all the other Ripple babies out here! Fight for your rights, my ripple, baby! Fight for your place in the sun, my ripple, baby! Ripple, baby grows up, seeing it’s separateness from the other ripples. Some bad ripples, some good ripples. Some bigger, ripples, smaller, ripples, dumber, ripples, smarter ripples. And, then, the day comes when grown up, struggling, biting, despairing ripple, sees a video like this! Oh, happy day!❤🥲😂😂😂🥲🥲🌊
Yes! Always so clear.
Yes, still connected
My business is dog care. I run a kennel free boarding in my giant farmhouse on 2 acres in Carmel. It’s heaven. I am surrounded by the most loving, present souls. I love life with animals! Love❤
Dogs are present. I found my partner of 28 years, passed away last Monday. It's been so horrible. I'm driving to PA where he grew up and where his family lives, for the funeral. I'm taking my dogs. I know his earth vessel is not his essence, but I miss him terribly. Your words help me remember that.
My dogs changed my life, and without sounding dramatic, saved my life. My husband died right after we got them, oh the irony! He wanted all his life, enjoyed them a month. But they were god’s gift to me, to get me out of bed and keep me going, meeting people at dog park, socializing. They are the most pure joy and love I’ve ever experienced. They are always loving, happy, friendly. I’m grateful to them. Merry Christmas ❤
Merry Christmas! And may you and your doggies have a wonderful and blessed New Year.
Take Care! ❤️💚💜
Amen
You gotta love Eckhart's ability to infuse spiritually & humour 😂
Yes !
True ☺️ 😅
Yeah 😂
My dog chose me, I dreamed of her face for 3 weeks before I got her at 2 months. I lost her at 12 years old, I miss her. I told her that she had better me waiting for me when I get to the other side!
Thank you for another great teaching Eckhart. I find all of your video's to be so uplifting and liberating. I can't express my gratitude enough for all you've done for me. Wishing everybody a nice winter solstice, a merry christmas, and a happy new year filled with love and light.🙏
I once walked a dog fearful of all animals and humans. I laid on the floor and raised my arms and legs in the air to be submissive.
He let me leash him and walk him. After two years walking him I asked him which way he wanted to go? He took me on a completely different neighborhood walk!! He was such a grand teacher.😊
Great teaching today. 😊
Not just dogs though, all animals including farm animals have the same emotional capacity to experience joy and happiness given the chance, we are all connected as one consciousness. Mores the pity that we treat billions of them so horribly in factory farms and slaughterhouses. Theres a lot of hypocrisy in the spiritual community. There is not much difference between a pig and and a dog, in fact pigs can have the same intelligence as a 7 year old child
I believe our pets are our angels and guides.
Me too!
My dog is my rock. The dog chose Me when it was 8 weeks old and it has been with Me for 9 years now. I have no words that truly can describe our close and unbreakable bond of love. It has only grown stronger year by year. I owe this dog everything. We live together alone and we are together 24-7 and it has always been like that. The dog has taught what love is and it has opened my heart which no person have been able to do. The dog has taught me how to be in the present and not so much in the past or future.
Im 55 and have been lonely almost all my life. The dog has this ability to not make Me feel that Im not completely alone in this world. The dog is My soul friend and I love this dog more than myself and every human being I have ever met. I thank God every day that he created this dog and I have the luxury of borrowing it. But at the moment Im not doing that great because the dog may have cancer and is going to be tested first in 2024. Practically My entire family have been wiped out due to cancer. My little brother and Me are the last ones and we have no children ourselves. I can not se my self without this dog and I dont know what to do. I feel so low and would gladly give My right arm if that could save its life if it would come to this. Will somebody be so kind and pray for My dog. Love from Denmark ❤
May God bless you and your wonderful dog with health and happiness. 💗
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How blessed you are to have such a wonderful companion. I’m so sorry to hear he’s sick - sending love out to you both 💞
Yes dear I shall pray for you and your dog!
❤ sending love
I just lost my Pyrenees…and best friend for 13 years…..I was crushed….❤️🙏🏼
I am learning so much from a divine dog who I’m lucky enough to share time with. His presence, non-judgement and immersion in his passions and affection are breathtaking and honourable. I thank the Universe for these animals for us to learn from
Totally agree I'm forever grateful for these wonderful animals we have the blessing sharing this life together
Great stuff. So profound. It took me decades to realize what he is talking about. But now I know. And I also know that it is possible to realize what Eckart is talking about within seconds. Not decades. Haha.
If it wasn't for the toad, Eckhart wouldn't have made sense at all ! At least that's an individual's experience 🙏
I listen to Eckhart not necessarily to understand him but to resonate with his presence which I cant sense from people around me.
so you understand him very well

A man and his dog were walking by the side of the road and were hit and killed by a car. They found themselves walking an unknown road somewhere together and wondered where they were. They came upon an incredible city of gold with pearl gates and shining gold streets. The man asked an old man at the gate what the place was. The old man replied "This is Heaven" The man asked "can come in? " After looking at his book the old man replied " Yes" The man then looked down at his dog and said "what about my dog ?" The old man said " There are no dogs in heaven" so the man and his dog walked away not knowing what to do.
Further down the road they came upon a great and beautiful garden and entrance to another grand city with a man and woman tending to the plants in front. The man asked "what is this place" The woman smiled and said " This is Heaven" The man inquired" may I come in ? " The woman replied "Yes you may" Then the man asked defensively "and my dog ? " The woman replied " Of course dear " The man was over joyed and said to the couple do you know there is a place down the road that is saying it is heaven as well ? The man tending the flowers replied "Yes that is just a place to test souls that would give away a precious friend for a little gold "
❤ this video has provided one of the most direct and profound, non-elusive, clear teachings to date. Thank you eckhart, thank you!!! ❤
One of my rescued Labradors, Bella, had spent the first 6 years of her life as a breeding female on a puppy farm. (or Puppy mill as they are known in the USA) her pen was so small that she was not able to turn her body around. The vet estimated that she had given birth to over one hundred pups, by the time that she was six years of age. She was physically and psychologically very traumatized. Her rehabilitation took approximately two and a half years. Progress really began after she could connect with nature and go swimming. Also meeting with and being around other confident and balanced dogs. One of her favorite ways to release tension was through rolling on her back and punching the air with all four paws. She was an incredible soul and lived to be almost sixteen. We can learn so much from animals and nature
I love this story of your sweet lab ❤ Labs are awesome!
I am very, very happy that this dog lived happily for 10 years.
That's beautiful 🎉❤
Thank You for the replies. One of my fondest memories was witnessing her find her own state of happiness, self confidence and doggy joy. Not only did she discover the fun of galloping up steep hillsides, the ones covered in snow became extra special! Suddenly, living life in a Labrador suit actually became a place of fun! She would flip over onto her back and snow slide, head first down those hills, wheeeee!
@@animalauntiebev7596❤
Dogs, cats too, live in the moment. They give and accept love unconditionally. Those are very zen concepts. Watching them take such pleasure in the simplest things in life brings to mind the heart sutra. I’ve learned so much from my dogs and cats.
Dogs and All animals go to heaven🥰they are pure spiputrs like children✨🎁💐🎈❤️ GOD Bless and Protect You All Humankind🌱🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍✨
Dog = Consciousness in the present moment, loyalty, friendship, happiness, joyfulness and most of all love..

I assume from what Eckhart is saying, he hasn't worked in a dog rescue centre. They definitely do have problems with self esteem especially ill treated dogs. There is a UA-cam video where a dog that 'cried' at hearing for the first time that she was a "good girl". They have preferences over different people too.
Dogs in fact, all animals (although some are more evolved than others) have feelings whether humans acknowledge it or not
It's not about having feelings. Of course dogs have feelings. But they have no conceptual thought and no self consciousness. Hence the concept of self esteem doesn't apply. That doesn't mean they can't feel sad, or in pain or can have preferences. None of this needs to reference a self like humans do.
@@meloniestewart2940 all living things have emotions, big tall trees share water with smaller trees and plants, even if they are not of the same same species 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@snakedogman There is a great deal of evidence that animals have self-awareness. However, at the same time there is a lack of consensus on the definition of the term “self-awareness”.
Natalie Evans has recently published Animal Ethics and the Autonomous Animal Self, a book that challenges the notion that only humans are capable of agency, autonomy and self-awareness.
Simply put, people including Eckhart don't know enough to declare that dogs don't have a form of self consciousness or awareness to some degree.
Dogs operate from their Hearts. Not an Ego. When you navigate from that state of Being, you FEEL. Dogs feel emotions.
We could learn so much from these 4 legged angels, I couldn’t live without mine
Thankyou Eckhardt . When I was a child I discovered that if I concentrate only on breathing slowly I could stop my hiccups. If only I knew the greater benefits of this practice, how different the past sixty years would have been!🐴
"There is no time in being." ~ Eckhart Tolle
Dogs do have have an ego my dog thinks she’s better than all my other dogs. Had dogs all my life they also have their own personalities.
But their egos don't seem so destructive or calculating.
@@elizabethpiela7389 they can be
maybe not necessarily like a human but they can be
they are emotional and needy and aggressive at times and codependent
How could you possibly know what your dog thinks?
You are simply projecting human self consciousness and it's related thoughts onto the behaviour of a dog.
Having a personality is totally different from being able to form the thought "I am better than other dogs".
@@snakedogman haven’t you heard about a wolf pack
In order for them to have ego they'd have to have language and self consciousness. They might have a teeny ego fledgling tho...
I've had a dog that asked me to sit. Wherever i decided was the turning point on our walks in nature, i used to sit down on a tree stubb or a stone, smoke a cigarette, give out some goodies and just be for a while. When this very special dog (i wish Eckhardt could have met him) got older and got trouble walking, he asked me to go and sit down wherever he felt he wanted to turn homeward. It was easy to obey him.
From what i just heard, Marley might have been one of those dogs who are a step ahead in developing an ego. He even had an opinion on me. He gave me the greatest compliment i've ever had as he transmitted his sincere judgement that for being a human, i could be rather smart sometimes.
Sitting with the dog & talking in the moment is golden 🐶❤
I met traumatised dogs with problems of self-esteem.
That’s because they experienced egotistical humans who didn’t have hearts - no dog is viscous or insecure humans or the owner creates them that way. Dogs end up like owners
Please pray for my dog. She’s a Pitt Dalmatian. She has lymphoma. I’m hoping for a miracle while understanding the truth that death isn’t the end
Yes pray it recovers
Panacur dog wormer has had good results with cancer.
Maybe homeopathy could help.
@@sandiam7809 this👍👍👍👍👍👍
My dogs definitely changed my life. They may look like silly animals that don’t do much, but if you look closely, if you see the world through their eyes, you’ll find love and beauty and peace the way god/our creator/ life force intended it to be ❤ protect nature and animals yall
This is what I need today, being grounded in bed with awful covid.. In Christmas. Sad. But with my dog next to me i will make it🦮No ego in her, pure being. And the eyes❤
What you fear will come after you.
@@Lisa_M_V could you elaborate pls?
And you nailed it right at the beginning dear Eckhart! People are hating on their bodies, their genders, their pasts, and what an awful way to live. disowning our bodies, not liking what we are. ALL EGOIC mind ! and self destructive to not only the body parts, but also to the very soul. Thank you fort his enlightening conversation
I've never seen any video of Eckhart Tolle that isn't a masterpiece. They all have a deep message to all of us. 🎉🎉❤❤❤
I saw comments from vegeterian or vegan people. We love animals yet we still eat them : yes, and this only shows that we don't eat them because of a lack of love but because we need to. It is our biology. We are not cows or some other ruminants. The only difference between us and most of the animals is that our minds have evolved in such a way that we make up stories of guilt and shame and value judgments about it. However we can try and be mindful of how our meat is produced and how animals are treated, even though it can be hard to find trustworthy sources of information. I feel self-righteousness is not the way to go here.
thats the best explanation of the joys of animals Ive ever heard, .. its true..
Thank you and forever thank you. You are such a great soul
That's because DOG ,is GOD spelled backwards! 🙏🙏
Timely...My Beagle is a beauty. He is more stubborn & demanding in his golden years & at times barks a lot. But what I have learnt is that is during these moments of old age that we need to be by their side assuring & loving them more❤ thank you Eckhart for the beautiful share.
Animals have an ego. Without ego they can't struggle for food, pack, etc.
Thank you for teaching us & helping us with our awakening.
OMG How do you know what dogs think??? They capable of being embarrassed or self conscious ; and of course they have an opinion about us!
Dogs can’t think, because thinking is language in your mind.
@@tiffanyjoleenbowserdimeco6294dogs communicate with barking, they also are sometimes barking when they dream. How do we know there is no little barking voice in their head talking?
One syllable utterances are not language. Woofs, growls, etc are like babies crying or cooing… indicating needs or expressing emotions, they are not like “tree”… a concept or label for a thing. Language is a complex communication system spoken and written forms laid over reality so we can function. “Pass me the milk”. It’s not possible for dogs to think because they do not have conceptual language. Life is actually much easier and more peaceful when you aren’t thinking and you can function beautifully without it.
They dont recognize themselves in the mirra. End of debate
@@silvialorenz2189 Actually language developed to describe pictures. Those we see in our heads and dreams, and those we see in the physical world. I think dogs very much think visually and can understand human language too. Not to the extent we do but way more than most other animals due to their proximity to us.
I just love this talk. It was truly amazing. After all the books I have read this little talk has given me what I have been after for years- Thank you Mr Tolle, you are a very wise man
Anyone that says dogs don't have an ego has never owned a poodle.
😂
😂 That is the funniest comment on here. I have two Sheepadoodles.. I get it. Haha!!
In all seriousness though, ego is simply identifying with a narrative in your mind of who you think you are… it’s language in the mind. Dogs don’t have language, so they are simply an aware presence, which is what we are, but most people identify with the movement of thoughts in their mind for their sense of self. It’s not actually there. So dogs live in reality and we mostly live in an illusory existence… hence all of our species difficulties.
Or a Chihuahua...
😂😂😂

Disagree with you hundred times over on this one, Eckhart. Dogs do have opinions of you and people. They're an excellent judge of character. Your dog loves most people, then someone comes around you and they immediately don't like them? They're picking up on their character, their energy, etc... also dogs do have concepts of themselves, seen through self esteem. Tell a dog he's a bad dog all the time, you will have a dog with low self esteem. Tell that same dog he's perfect or hes a good dog all the time, you'll have a dog with high self esteem. It's a self concept, although not egoic. They are Love, at their deepest core of their being, just like us, however they don't have the egos that their human companions are attempting or in the process of transcending.❤
You are confusing learned behaviour and instincts with self consciousness. You can perfectly well have all those things you describe, without having any ability for conceptual thinking or self consciousness.
A learned or instinctual like or dislike reaction is absolutely not the same as an opinion.
@@snakedogman lets look at your statement "a learned... Like or dislike.. is absolutely not the same as an opinion."
Now, lets look at the definition of opinion...
1. A belief or conclusion held with confidence
2. A judgment based on special knowledge
3. A judgment or estimation of the merit of a person or thing.
So, Yes. A learned like or dislike IS ABSOLUTELY THE SAME AS AN OPINION.
And who is forming such judgements? Their self. A dog has a self. A horse has a self. They just lack ego. As we define it.
But perhaps some of them do... You ever see the dog that wants to scrap with every other dog at the dog park, or the tiny ankle biter that thinks it's the bigger than a husky? Is that ego? I don't know, I don't have that answer, but won't even get into that...
Have a blessed day my friend :)
Thank you for sharing with us thanks a lot 🌹🌹
Yesterday I heard a dog trainer explain that dogs judge whether you are a good or bad person according to your behavior towards them. And it seems true with my puppy (english bulldog 5 months old) : its love is not (yet ?) unconditional, mine yes 😅☺️
But it’s also true that dogs always live in the present moment and they really help us to do or be so 😇
I believe animals feel the vibrations off of others which their natural instinct responds to.
They're not always in the present moment. They definitely have thoughts of the past and they often have something in mind for the future.
Dogs tell the time by scent, when you leave the house at 8am your scent is 100% when you get home at 6pm your scent in the house is 70%, over time our dogs learn what time we get home, what time is dinner time and what time is we go for a walk together 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think what the trainer meant by "judge" was more like evaluating if they are safe or something. But a dog doesn't judge you like humans do, they are not judgemental 😊
They sense energy and frequency much better than us🙏
Believe it's no coincidence that DOG is GOD spelled backwards... God is unconditional Love... Dogs are unconditional Love... 💕💕💕
Thankyou Sir
This ego, i think, is the final wall separating me n what lies behind it... Being or God. As Eckhart Sir usually says... shining the light of Consciousness or Awareness on this ego will melt n dismantle it....n unveils our True Self.
🙏
Eckhart, you haven't met a poodle yet, lol
I was observing my dog, they are very alertive when there is stranger coming. Thank you Eckhart! Love all teachings!
I Love him. But I would say differently...ALL of nature, including dogs and lets, are far more advanced than humans. ALL of nature holds awareness of itself as integrated nature. The interwoven state of all that is. They are waiting for us to rise to this awareness.
humans are only beings who have consciousness more developed , ego arises out of that consciousness.
Whole eastern philosophy from India to South east Asia where Hinduism or Buddhism is followed believes this.
Brilliant n spiritual ET 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏻✨🌟💝 thank you dear teacher, so wise!
I'm not so sure dogs don't have opinions about people. I see evidence that they do.
I agree. But they can EASILY OVERLOOK THINGS. I strive to be the person my 🐶 thinks I am. They definitely have no ego
their you go thinking again😂😂❤🙏🖖🏻
This is a good point. I’m wondering if it’s opinion or instinct
Instinct isn't opinion.
They can smell a person who is has darkness about them

Thank you for changing “my life” video by video
I have not known any creature as faithful as my dog.
She was my best teacher to experience unconditional love.
Our communication was clear , loving and beyond language.
Wonderful video. Enjoyable to participate and soo relaxing.
My dog is my teacher of presence. Whenever I get lost in thoughts she picks up some trash from the street.
😂
😅👌
We hear the term self love passed around often and its gets distorted. What I have found is that self love is freedom of expression without judgement. Most people can understand freedom of expression but where most of the problems start is to express without judgement. This means regardless if your expressing yourself by donating to the poor or raising your voice because something is bothering you are both a form of expression and both are to be accepted without any judgement that any form of expression is right or wrong.
This is one of Eckhart’s best and easiest to understand presentations on the subject especially his explanation how dogs are pre-ego vs humans who are post-ego. And then top it all off he brings up the ancient practice of watching the breath as a simple yet powerful tool to extend the experience of being in the power now.
Thank you Echart. Love your work
At about 12:40, Yes, thank you! I get it -- that gap or stillness feels like grace to me. It's being present or alert especially during meditation but there is a feeling that I can only describe as grace, so much more than 'everything is all right,' a deeper, quieter heartbeat or 2 oe 3 of existing in grace. Thank you Eckhart for reminding me. Namaste, p
However, I also teach my dogs to “have a brain”, so that they will stop for a moment and think before barking at the fence etc. I train my inner world to stop for a moment and think before getting involved in being anxious about the future. In both cases the result is greater calm, and peacefulness.
Dogs and cats 🥰🥰🥰
We're truly fortunate to have incredible spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle. His teachings are beyond words, filled with love and a profound sense of presence. It's amazing how his words can touch our hearts and remind us of the indescribable beauty of life and what we really are.
"You know that you ARE." E. Tolle.
So immense, so moving, so TRUE.
So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
23:54 i literally remember those experiences i had as a kid. I have failed to invite these moments even more and today im living inside the my mind. Please let me go back to those deeper sense of presence!
i relate to this too. i would just do it because it made me experience a different feeling like some type of high. i find it alot harder to reach now that im older
He says dogs don’t have a problem with self esteem, makes sense, but i still see many dogs exhibit social anxiety, fear of endless kinds.
That's when the best dog will meditate...🐕

I don't know if cats are any different. While they are usually quite content, we adopted two calico cats... One pretty, and the other with not so pretty markings. The less pretty one has an eating disorder, and I wonder if she's trying to eat the love that always gets given to her sister.
The teaching of Jeshua.
Dogs take on the consciousness of the human. If the human is weak, fearful and insecure the dog will take on that negative energy. If the human is strong and compassionate the dog will radiate and blossom in that energy.
ego
Not true. Dogs can be nervous and insecure regardless of how strong the human is. Same if the person is nervous and weak, the dog can still be confident and social.
@@jamescadzow9545 🤣 sure. Magical energetic influence 🪄
@@PeglesssTrue! They are trapped in our energy field when they live with us (especially in a 1 person household) but that doesn't necessarily mean that their behaviour mimics ours.
Yeah not so sure you got this one right, and I don't think my dog is abnormal but he is judgemental for sure!
Does he judge your for your weight, age, job performance, success in life, etc?
I TRUST YOU LORD. Please give me strength to get through this Christmas. I’m holding on and keeping faith. I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to provide for my kids and I constantly struggle to buy groceries. My husband is with you God. At times I feel so alone especially as a single mom. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Both of my sons are autistic. I’m now homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. Thankfully I have you Lord Jesus. Please continue to give me strength. 😢

dogs very well do have egos: this is why they attack and bite and growl and they are self-willed and they need attention etc
I believe this is to protect those they love and an animal instinct not necessarily ego
Instinct and learned behaviour. Not ego.
Dogs certainly do have egos.They get jealous etc.
Perhaps it’s protectiveness and not ego

" It is something to be pondered over. Why should a dog not have a buddha-nature? If every living being has buddha-nature, why should dogs be such exceptional beings? Just because in your minds the very word ‘dog’ is condemned, you cannot think that a dog can have a buddha-nature - “My God, then what is the point of having a buddha-nature? Even a dog can have it. It is not worth bothering! Years of meditation, long pilgrimages, and finally what you attain is just a dog’s nature.” Naturally those who don’t understand have immediately said no - and Ta Hui agrees with those people who say no.
But in fact a dog is just a god spelt wrongly. I for one am absolutely ready to say yes, a dog has as much potential to be a buddha as Gautam Buddha himself. There is no question why poor dogs should be left out, when all beings - donkeys and monkeys and even Yankees - all are included. The dog is a poor animal, innocent. There is nothing wrong in the dog. Perhaps he has to travel a long way to become a buddha, but it is only a question of time. Some day a dog is also going to become enlightened. In some birth, somewhere in the future…"
"Imperfection is a fundamental law of life. Man is the only animal who is imperfect.
Dogs are not imperfect, each and every dog is a perfect dog. Cats are not imperfect, trees are not imperfect, rocks are not imperfect. In this whole vast existence man is the only animal who is imperfect. And that is where his glory is - because in imperfection there is growth, in imperfection there is opening, there is evolution. When you are perfect there is nowhere to go. Perfection will be suicide for humanity.
Just think, what will you do when you are perfect? In the first place it cannot happen. In the second place, IF it happens, what will you do then? The perfectionist will be at a loss, utterly at a loss - because he knows only one way of life, and that is to go on improving. Now there is no more to improve he will commit suicide.
Man's glory is that he is the only animal who grows. Out of his imperfection man has become a tremendous power. The child of man is the most helpless child, and out of that helplessness great things have happened. Man is born with very weak instincts. That's why he becomes intelligent - he has to become intelligent, he has to substitute his weaker instincts with a stronger intel-ligence.
A dog need not do anything, a dog is perfect; he lives through his instincts he never allows his in-telligence to grow. What is the point? The instincts are doing far better, more perfectly, than intelligence will ever be able to do.
Intelligence is there because you are weak in your instincts. Man has developed all kinds of technologies, science, because man is very weak. Just watch: he cannot run like a wolf or a dog, he is not strong like a lion or a tiger, he is not swift like a deer. Out of these imperfections he has done great things. He has developed weapons because he is weak physically; he could not have survived without weapons. He is delicate, he is not strong. Because he is not speedy he has developed speedy vehicles. Because he is prone to illness and disease he has developed medicine.
Out of imperfection man blooms. Because he does not know, he has developed philosophies and religions. No dog has developed a philosophy or a religion. There is no need; the dog knows already, knows instinctively. The dog is not ignorant, so there is no need to know. Man is ignorant, it hurts.
He tries to know, he becomes curious, he explores, he becomes adventurous.
All animals are satisfied; only man is continuously in discontent. That's his beauty. Out of his discontent he grows, he finds new ways of growth. Only man is anxious, anxiety-ridden. Hence he develops meditation techniques. Just watch: whatsoever you have - in culture, in art, in philosophy - is out of your imperfections.
Don't be bothered about perfection. Replace the word 'perfection' with 'totality'. Don't think in terms of having to be perfect, think in terms of having to be total. Totality will give you a different dimension."
😂 dogs and cat are happy...😂
Oh, in the present moment....
CIA is good?😮
I think Dogs have egos, If nothing else dogs are shown to have guilt and shame. like all those videos of the dogs getting in the trash and feeling really bad about it when their owner finds out.
Having emotions is not the same as having an ego. You need self consciousness for an ego and dogs simply don't have that. But of course they have emotions.
What you describe as "guilt" and "shame" is actually appeasement behavior because they are afraid of getting punished.
I am owned by my Dog. And her selfless and pure love makes me wonder! Wouldn't the world have been a better place if there were no Humans ❤️❤️?
Beautiful, thank you . The most of the time I get tears in my eyes
My first pet was dog and now my two cute cats......
These days it is hard for me to tell if I am predicting or praying. Healing is an amazing gift, better than total safety in my opinion.
I wish Eckhart Tolle one day would meet James French. He is the one who works with animals 100% peacefully by delivering the "present moment". He calls it "Trust Technique". Through practicing the Trust Technique I was able to establish a wonderful relationship with my blind horse based on trust and mutual understanding. Connection is stronger than control. It works with every sentient being. Not only horses or dogs. It is life changing not only for the animal but for it's human as well because the human gets used to being in the present moment. The main purpose of the Trust Technique ist to help animals to relax and in this purpose to help them when they release stuck emotions like anxiety or aggression.
Thank you. Nice to see all the sweet comments about our beloved animals. ♥️ Eckhart
My dog changed my life, also, and has helped save it physically, mentally (even though that was all due to my thoughts, I didn’t know it at the time), and spiritually. If it wasn’t for my dog I don’t know if I would have let myself be open to Eckhart’s teachings when I found them. Thank goodness because Eckhart’s lessons are the most important thing I can be learning and practicing. I feel so fortunate and grateful to be bonded with my pet with such a pure soul (as they all have) to have influenced me so much into changing into presence/awareness and understanding that it is my life’s purpose. 🙏
I love myself means there are two of me, the self that I love and the one that loves my self
My dogs are my children...and like a true mother,there is love,nagging,sibling rivalry,naughtiness to make me angry...and when i am very upset because of other issues they maintain their calmness n discipline...in illness except one everyone is sad,but the real problem is i am turning into their pack leader...the mother dog..
