Hello from Japan. All your words make sense. After I lived 45 years completely unaware of my ego's trick, my insides completely collapsed. I came across your book when I was going crazy with unbearable pain. It took me eight years to truly understand your words. Well hope I do now. I am 53 years old and I am feeling deep peace of mind for the first time thanks to you. Since I realized that I am life itself, there is no “my life”, I was convinced that I could accept anything until I leave this body. Thank you so much.
Here's a poem I made inspired by Eckhart Tolle: There is a space inside me, this space cannot be named. Because when I look to find it; I find its gone again. I'm made of thoughts, memories, and cells that re-arrange But the space that lives within me, will forever be unchanged. When I search for something tangible, and claim it to my being. I am merely limiting myself: I am only thinking without seeing. 'Cause all the things that make 'me' may change from day to day, But the space that lies within me can never fly away. My thoughts are rivers, each droplet, moves fast But the undisturbed I is free from future and past. You cannot imagine what you cannot see or touch. That is consciousness. Made of nothing. Yet so much The answer does not come from thought, Somewhere in its absence, the truth is taught, Because paradoxes always arise; it's old news. In this fun game of life, we're always bemused.
You seem to really understand Eckharts teachings. I don't think most people grasp his teachings so deeply. It's encouraging to see people actually getting this stuff. Nice poem too by the way.
I listen to these Omega recordings often, and there is one person's laughter that just brings me even more joy to Eckhart's humor! Every time!!!! Joy is contagious!
I absolutely love the person at the back laughing. It is just delightful! And Eckhart, of course....but again, his laughter is like a tonic or an injection of light.
This man has helped me in a life and death struggle with myself, and I believe honours a sacred duty to carry a message from the universe into this world !
Same. When I heard the Power of Now it was as if all the pieces came together and my life was changed. I am no longer the same person...I have changed. Do what the man says instead of letting your ego mind shut you down and you too will change and find peace.
@Darren Your so caught up in your religion and so fast to deem teachings outside your religion as evil that you can't see what is right in front of you. What a moron
Sounds like an extremely ego driven observation. Ever met a scary scary person that tricked you into some similar observations? I've met a handful of them and the idea of "knowing" (see/feel) is the protection they rely on, when manipulating you. Some things can't be faked, some can. Thats for you to learn. I see a teacher, maybe his teaching masks his disturbing anger? None of my bussiness just like how genuine he acts is none of my concern. Some came here for awnsers and some came here for a solution.
@@lanusik1000 From your 1st comment(i.e.,Really 🤪),I took you to be a non-fan of Tolle disparaging the praise of Tolle by Sam M. My mistake. It was sarcasm.
I am so aware and grateful that I was drawn to Listen to His wisdom again his Laughter is the best as I take myself far to serious thank you Eckhart ☘️💓
if u follow Eckhart's pointers, there is no longer a need to meditate...i have followed his pointers and found this is true for me...i feel peace all the time, no need to 'plan' a 'time' to meditate...really wonderful!
Interesting :) just wanted to say that meditation still has tons of benefits and doing it can only be beneficial as it teaches us kind of a skill set to deal with mind in a harmonious way :) Peace.
Glad to hear this. I see the benefits of meditation, but I sometimes feel I'm not committed enough for it to work for me. I would like to be able to clear my mind without taking on a new skill and schedule concern.
If we try to meditate it doesn't work. The meditation happens, the emptying of the mind is like the vehicle, recognizing the split between the mind and self, and/or body and self, this is like the road. So once learning to quiet the mind we find all new ways and times to meditate. In the same way as a yogi would say all life is yoga, or a jewish mystic saying all life is prayer, all life is meditation. There's no schedule unless the ego creates it. 🙏❤✌🏽
I’m 29. Been on UA-cam since day 1. All those years ago. Even still, I think this is my first proper comment. Just wanted to say how much that guy in the audience makes me laugh at ekharts zen story...brilliant. Pure belly laugh. He understands what I understand and I relate to that, the futility of how we (I) can search for meaning where none may exist... ENTER ZEN FROM THERE .. from where ? Anywhere ! 😊 and I relate to ekharts humour ... he’s a great teacher ... for me a good teacher either a) makes you laugh b) provokes thought c) creates emotional responses ...for me ekhart possesses all three qualities. Everytime I listen to Ekhart I think am I now part of the collective consciousness? Does anyone else think that or is that just me ? Lol ... slowing waking up to spiritually .. humans are complicated 🤣 Do I have a bell 🛎 it dissolved 😂😂 LOVE HIM x
YES, I was listening for him, instead of listening to Eckhart. We don't find so much to really make us laugh about these days, but this guy did it for me
@chchwoman9960 maybe a plant, could we stay present instead of just listening to that guy laugh! I had to keep rewinding as kept missing what ekhart was saying!
I believe he has some hardship story's cause through pain we learn, I just started watching early yesterday. I am impressed and soo glad he just came up on my phone, I really feel blessed to know of him. 19.99 was nothing compared to his teachings. Thank you my newest mentor.
Love watching eckhart, Personally feel there are more like him that have appeared in the recent past and appearing at this current time and space. Gratefully i think its not 1000 years since the last boddhisattva appearance for example Alan watts spoke of these things with great humour also! Peace

A very pure , simple , meaningful & meditative presence on the Internet. Eckhart is no different from others of his eminence that preceded him in this beautiful field . But the difference in my view is that he makes it so easy to understand & delightful to feel .
His advice& teachings has made the past 6 months of my life so wonderful and present. everyone explains to me how focused I am and much other compliments. I'm so grateful to have unlocked this treasure of life through Tolle's book.
+Brandon Rodriguez The Power of Now and A New Earth are indeed life-changing. But I also found his second book, Stillness Speaks, a wonderful book. And for children, especially who face problems at school such as bullying, Eckhart's full-color, beautifully illustrated Milton's Secret is fabulous.
He's the farther figure I needed. He totally talks sence. I talk to my friends on a similar level and they think I'm mad it's nice to know that there is people on my level xx
if people think you are mad it is likely you are not yet on the level you think you are . if you were on the level you think you are you wouldn't compare his level to yours but rather acknowledge that you wish to some day be on his level. I know I have no tact!
If it helps. Jesus had the same problem, hid hometown thought he talked lot of nonsense. What you might do is talk to a wider audience, start your own channel? That would be good I think. Good luck👍🙂
2007 The Power of Now changed everything for me. I hadn't listened to Tolle or read any of his material (A New Earth is very good too) for quite a few years, but found myself resonating with him all over again lately.
Jennifer May I love the laugh! People are too identified with their minds to appreciate the guy laughing in the background. He is lovely and lighthearted.
spending my mornings sitting, listening to you share these tidbits on life and living, hearing your shy giggle popping out over and over, your unexpected jokes that flit out without effort ---it's just the best. Thank you Eckhart, I wish we could be friends in person. Thank you for this.
He'll never graduate as a Zen Master because of his uncontrollable laughter. Usually it takes two years to graduate but this guy has been around for 10 years.
"When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back & laugh at the sky"~ Buddha The person laughing in background is brilliant demonstration of this!😂🤣😅
The theme I’m beginning to see with Eckhart’s speaking engagements is that he’s actually a comedian disguised as a spiritual teacher! The Power of Now helped me gain clarity on everything and nothing lol. Going to read A New Earth when finished with Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, another life enhancing read. Blessings to all of you curious and compassionate souls!
Thank you for expanding on this extraordinary wave of Peace that passed thru me a few days before my husband passed and the audible voice said "this how you will be after your husband passes". There are many other things being learned in the past 3 months since but these challenges are being met in a different way. I now ask for help and it comes. I ask for understanding and it comes. I understand how Jesus bared the cross, how Daniel dealt with lions in the den, etc - it is because of the Peace given them too. The stages grief that folks go thru has not happened to me because of Peace and knowing and experiencing the Universe of Spirit surrounding me. As some commented below, I am different - yes still challenged here and there but as I ask for help - it comes. What Blessed place to arrive at. I am surrendered in mind, body and soul. Thank you again Eckhart.
Now, i'm finally starting to understand why reality is beyond thought. Whenever i start to think the aliveness gets reduced greatly, suddenly everything starts to become fake and joke. Whenever i stop thinking and pay close attention to whatever happening, suddenly feel a peace and incredible aliveness that can't be described in words, the feelings you experienced when you were baby and toddler.
Chill out... "that laughing dude" just likes to enter Zen through laughter. I'm impressed how gracious Tolle handles it. It may be unmannered but at least he's genuine and that's gold.
@Hairy Chinese Kid No. I was not assuming it would annoy Tolle. I was sure it would annoy some audience members based on the comments I've seen for the videos. It was also a distraction for those people, and if it became significant enough, it would make sense for Tolle to address it, which he did.
I've just experienced this. So the other day I was coming home when I saw that someone had dumped probably two hole pickup truck loads of garbage on my property. My first reaction was not strong, which is unusual since I don't do violations of my space very well. So I got out and looked at it, and still did not have a strong reaction. I got in my truck to enter my driveway, and at that exact moment the sheriff was right behind me. I motioned them over, and we talked. And not only is it difficult to convict someone on a dumping violation, but I wondered what good it would do. I still was amazed that I was in acceptance of the garbage. And instead of like in my past, I remained accepting over the days. I've decided that I'll go clean it up, and pay what will probably be $200 to get rid of it. And now not only am I accepting of it, but I'm imagining I'll even get some kind of enjoyment out of doing it. After all, it is a beautiful place with large trees all around. I have done what Eckhart talks about in this video. I am so glad to have gotten to this space, with the garbage at least. Oh yeah, I wanted to add that the sheriff never drives down my street. It was as if some kind of play was being acted out that he should show up right behind me at that moment. It was so weird. And I now see all of it as a kind of preordained challenge that I have accepted. It feels so good to be at peace. But some things I still cannot handle. Assholes on Harleys making a racket just light me off. I value silence so much. I hate noise pollution. Maybe some day I will have the ability to accept noisemakers.
How about if you needed that $200 for an urgent medical issue for a family member? Or how about if you urgently had to raise cash for a relative's life-saving operation by selling your home and downsizing, but the sale fell through because the buyer saw what happened and became cautious about the area? My point is, a lot of these teachings are all very well for those with options, and the audience is often middle-class people who have resource to deal with such problems. But of all the "spiritual" people I've known, I've not yet found one who deals with a genuinely catastrophic situation any better than someone non-spiritual. (Note: this isn't a pop at you at all, it's just a general feeling I've had for a while).
i believe i’ve seen almost all the content of eckhart ou there! and this is my favorite. it never fails to point my attention to presence. he’s light here is especially strong 💛 thank you for sharing this
"The world is here for you to experience things that are going wrong". This speaks to me. Nothing that goes smoothly and easily, "everything" you have to work out is complicated and very painful, but when for a second i remember that's for why i am here that's a healing moment. The "experience" continues in an unexpected form and manner and the pain still comes back and i struggle with myself again and again.
Just imagine, you are feeling sad, depressed and anxious. And you would sit in a forest, on a smooth warm rock, next to a gurgling little stream, holding hands with Eckhart. He does not need to say anything, just softly chuckle once in a while... 🥰
I thank God for you Eckhart ! You are such an awesome teacher. I love to listen to you. I hope some of your teachings sink into me..... keep being. I am tired of playing the dramas. I have been playing a human for so long. I would like to wake up ! I have begun !
"My uncle's car is bigger than your car!" - I just heard a young teenage kid shout this out at one of his peers and busted out laughing because I remembered Ekhert mentioning this being an example of how the indirect ego is acted out. 😂
He is genuinely a happy man. His laugh is very childlike. He is the most ego-less person I've ever listened to, which is why he is the number 1 spiritual teacher~ He's a blessing.
Eckhart sure knows how to make learning fun! Between hearing Eckhart laugh and the person in the audience laughing, I'm sure everyone watching this was laughing 😂 Thank you! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You have inspired me to write poetry such as this my dear soul! Transformation.... I’ve been given this space... this moment As I’ve been open to allow The transformation comes within By existing in the now Transcendence becomes the journey From which consciousness is made known Realizing our present moment Is the place from which we’re grown So the process of doing Striving in effort instead of grace We find ourselves depleted From the tiresome rendition of pace If one rests in their precious now Focusing on presence and breath We feel the trials of life leaving Hence, This moment is the ego death Our spirit then arises And Holiness abounds The efforts fall away And it is then, we hear the sound The precious sound of silence The beauty of grace so pure The magnificence of life Evolving beyond this sphere Going inward instead of out Trusting in the process of rest We shall know the answers As calmly as the bird sits in its nest Life is no longer an effort And we now live in the flow Nothing seems to matter Because we are in the know! Amen By Brigid Anne Rohde 1-24-20
My mother died this evening. I was so lucky to find Eckhart just a few weeks before this happened. Now I feel I'll cope, I'm trying. Thank you Eckhart.
A good analogy of consciousness is like the being is a radio station. What is the reception and the transmission of that being. A working station needs a good signal. With out interference. Where the signal comes from is a mystery….god the universe. Just listen inside. The self can not describe but only be aware that. I am nothing but everything. Now that is beginning with no ending. Thank you master Eckhart for your presence and time for humanity.
I started reading the power of now 12 years ago and am only in the past couple of years experiencing how to be in the now. This video makes perfect sense to me at 66. simple peaceful positive content life inspite of many challenges . Still have to work on thinking too much and causing myself stress at times . love Eckhart's quiet sharing wisdom
How re assuring to hear Eckhart speak and he is so right about situations and how they happen and how we should react to them or better yet aloud the moment to be. Thank You very much Eckhart for Your teachings, l enjoyed very much the laughing gentleman also, my guess is that he gets it.
That guy laughing in the audience really gets Eckhart's sense of humour.....pure tonic!
Loud asf 😂.
The guy laughing bugs me. I try to not let it but I'm not enlightened yet
How do you know it’s a man? Sounds like perhaps a woman 😊
Sounds like a woman yeah@@stepheniecopping7165

@William Oarlock oh and we are very lucky to have you here with us on earth also. We all need everybody.
Here's a poem I made inspired by Eckhart Tolle:
There is a space inside me, this space cannot be named.
Because when I look to find it; I find its gone again.
I'm made of thoughts, memories, and cells that re-arrange
But the space that lives within me, will forever be unchanged.
When I search for something tangible, and claim it to my being.
I am merely limiting myself: I am only thinking without seeing.
'Cause all the things that make 'me' may change from day to day,
But the space that lies within me can never fly away.
My thoughts are rivers, each droplet, moves fast
But the undisturbed I is free from future and past.
You cannot imagine what you cannot see or touch.
That is consciousness. Made of nothing. Yet so much
The answer does not come from thought,
Somewhere in its absence, the truth is taught,
Because paradoxes always arise; it's old news.
In this fun game of life, we're always bemused.
Do you write lyrics to songs too? I'm looking for a lyricist. Anyways, I love your poem
beautiful!
What a beautiful poem.
Thankyou

You seem to really understand Eckharts teachings. I don't think most people grasp his teachings so deeply. It's encouraging to see people actually getting this stuff. Nice poem too by the way.

@@letmebereal That's ok. You be angry. I'd rather be happy 😊 😃
The laughing guy distracted me from the message. His laughter felt phony and attention seeking. Appropriate laughter is delightful, this was not.

When is it going to be a female?!
Jackie Krieger Eckhart’s wife is a spiritual teacher as well.
16:38 for most humans all they ever experience is object consciousness
26:25 not resisting the form that arises
28:55 making space for things to happen
30:21 they don’t allow an event to be; they argue with reality
47:50 when you cooperate and allow something to be, it becomes an opening to something
51:16 not my will but thy will be done - thy will is the will of the whole
54:39 it does not matter where you begin to allow “what is” to be
58:19 there’s always far more space than the emotion you just have to find it
1:07:30 how quickly help can come in because you cooperate with life, there’s no resistance to life which is now
1:17:25 you get a stronger sense of self but it’s the illusion of who you are when you can triumph over someone - “more” fill in the blank
1:22:21 no question is vital. If you become still enough, the answer, if you need it will come to you
28:40 surrender to a little thing and you find a little peace
29:15 if something is happening and you make space for it, you become the space. This is the grave that is hidden behind “bad events”
51:45 that which stands in the way is the way
48:50 the true spiritual practice is to work with all the little and big things in one’s life that seem to be obstacles and blockages
51:51 that which stands in the way is the way
27:05 the form of this moment becomes an opening into the formless within you. The more challenging the form is right now, and you accept it, the deeper it takes you into the formless
28:35 surrender to a little challenge in this moment and you will find a little peace
29:21 if something is happening and you make space for it, you become the space. And this is the grace underneath bad events
49:33 don’t try to figure out why this has happened
I love how Eckhart presents truth in such a childlike manner. He laughs at his own jokes. His giggles and delight make heart happy and full. Awesome!
True!! So effective. He has changed my life.
A very pure , simple , meaningful & meditative presence on the Internet. Eckhart is no different from others of his eminence that preceded him in this beautiful field . But the difference in my view is that he makes it so easy to understand & delightful to feel .

Theres one guy with a loud belly laugh and laughs above all the others and a lot. its great.

There's one in the left hand corner that doesn't laugh. He got none of the jokes. i don't think he'll graduate.

I hear ya Steven! its hard not to get excited about Tolle's pointings, and sad when friends can't relate.
👍🙏🏼🕊🔥❤️
if people think you are mad it is likely you are not yet on the level you think you are . if you were on the level you think you are you wouldn't compare his level to yours but rather acknowledge that you wish to some day be on his level. I know I have no tact!
If it helps. Jesus had the same problem, hid hometown thought he talked lot of nonsense. What you might do is talk to a wider audience, start your own channel? That would be good I think. Good luck👍🙂
@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131, dear you 😊 The only one who needs to "get" you is you 👍 this time, right now, is perfect, to "get" you.
This actually works, Had an enlightenment experience in december and I feel more at peace everyday. Everything seems so easy, life is good
True
It sure is. Heaven like? Yes
Hope you stay on the path to righteousness brother god bless
Good job buddy
2007 The Power of Now changed everything for me. I hadn't listened to Tolle or read any of his material (A New Earth is very good too) for quite a few years, but found myself resonating with him all over again lately.
Dear Eckart, if you only knew how many nights you've gotten me through ❤❤❤❤❤
I listen to Eckhart every night for the past year and a half 🙏
Oh Lord how much I love this guy =)
How much he is changing your life For being in This moment since?
sergio jara de la barra me too!!
Lord Maitreya ? What lord do you mean ?
sergio jara de la barra I swear I thought you were Serj Tankian by the moment I looked at your picture 🤣
I don't understand why so many people dislike the laughter , I just find in hilarious lol
Jennifer May I love the laugh! People are too identified with their minds to appreciate the guy laughing in the background. He is lovely and lighthearted.
Claudia Barroso I agree. I was thinking the same thing.
Laughter is fine. Hilarity and gafawing, especially at inappropriate times by the same man causes a person to surrender, to accept. Say yes.
It’s tough lol just screaming 😂 could only imagine the people that were next to him haha
It’s refreshing to me too 😂
"What stands in the way **becomes** the way" -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, book 5, 20. Moment51:41
spending my mornings sitting, listening to you share these tidbits on life and living, hearing your shy giggle popping out over and over, your unexpected jokes that flit out without effort ---it's just the best. Thank you Eckhart, I wish we could be friends in person. Thank you for this.
Titbits😂shy giggle🤣
Eckhart's laugh, a tune,
Melodic rhythm of joy,
Sings truth's melody.
Not just wisdom,but great humour too👏
Often goes with the two combined with each other. Zen masters are so humorous for example.
truth is truly fun.
Oh God the guy laughing in the background is so insanely funny
Dominic F. Pretty sure it was the lady with the rotting corpse
Eckhart's own laugh or giggles rather crack me up and melt my heart at the same time.
He'll never graduate as a Zen Master because of his uncontrollable laughter. Usually it takes two years to graduate but this guy has been around for 10 years.
"When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back & laugh at the sky"~ Buddha
The person laughing in background is brilliant demonstration of this!😂🤣😅
The theme I’m beginning to see with Eckhart’s speaking engagements is that he’s actually a comedian disguised as a spiritual teacher!
The Power of Now helped me gain clarity on everything and nothing lol. Going to read A New Earth when finished with Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, another life enhancing read.
Blessings to all of you curious and compassionate souls!
One of the True Prophets of our time. God bless you Eckhart.🎶
He's SO in the now! I love it. He laughs at jokes and continues the laughter because he's still in the moment
Thoroughly amused with himself 😅❤
I was so ready for someone like him in my life
Yes 🙂
Is it just me laughing at Eckart laughter? He's funny 😂.
Thank you for this beautiful talk! It is a vehicle for healing.
Just the best amazing method to fall asleep with this video every night. Eckhart, the man laughing, its very peacefull
I enjoyed the talk & also the intermittent boisterous laughter of a gentleman in the audience :)
+Firdaus Bilimoria Then you will enjoy Eckhart's talk in this same series, Laughter Breaks Through the Ego!
@@NamastePublishing I'm watching that one next.
Sounds like a woman to me. Love love love the laughing.
No words to explain Eckhart... beyond words, a treasure indeed... grateful i found his teaching...i was guided to his book...grateful
This is helping me through a breakup. Thank you Eckhart.
use it to wake up and the break-up will become your blessing. "keep your head up and remain in the heart instead of the mind".
@@JesseReza-g4l
He's so mellow, trips me out!
That laughter in the background, it’s brilliant! ❤️🙏
This guy blows my mind. Talk about getting it.
I Did not get it because there was no object to grab I'm just playing with words
I began watching this video, then I paused and really started to notice how beautiful the patterns of my carpet are. Thank you!
I recogize this from listening to his audible book" a journey into yourself". I listen to it almost every day
I´m so thankful for Eckhart´s Teachings. It has changed my life completely! I cannot describe how thankful I am for these words!
Yes
Oh man on the second and third look around for the bell you know he’s lining up that joke. Brilliant. I love this man and all of you
Thanks man that's sweet😄
Thank you for expanding on this extraordinary wave of Peace that passed thru me a few days before my husband passed and the audible voice said "this how you will be after your husband passes". There are many other things being learned in the past 3 months since but these challenges are being met in a different way. I now ask for help and it comes. I ask for understanding and it comes. I understand how Jesus bared the cross, how Daniel dealt with lions in the den, etc - it is because of the Peace given them too. The stages grief that folks go thru has not happened to me because of Peace and knowing and experiencing the Universe of Spirit surrounding me. As some commented below, I am different - yes still challenged here and there but as I ask for help - it comes. What Blessed place to arrive at. I am surrendered in mind, body and soul. Thank you again Eckhart.
One of the best talks ever! Thank you Eckhart!❤️🙏
Now, i'm finally starting to understand why reality is beyond thought. Whenever i start to think the aliveness gets reduced greatly, suddenly everything starts to become fake and joke. Whenever i stop thinking and pay close attention to whatever happening, suddenly feel a peace and incredible aliveness that can't be described in words, the feelings you experienced when you were baby and toddler.
That
That is great way to explain the feeling, thanks for sharing!
Chill out... "that laughing dude" just likes to enter Zen through laughter. I'm impressed how gracious Tolle handles it. It may be unmannered but at least he's genuine and that's gold.
Tolle responded rather than reacted. Present moment versus past conditioning.
Hairy Chinese Kid don’t think that was satori 😂
Hairy Chinese Kid ha ha , (satori laughter) as you are trying to prove you are right 🤣
Hairy Chinese Kid you too
@Hairy Chinese Kid No. I was not assuming it would annoy Tolle. I was sure it would annoy some audience members based on the comments I've seen for the videos. It was also a distraction for those people, and if it became significant enough, it would make sense for Tolle to address it, which he did.
I love Eckhart and his teaching he is teaching me so much and transforming my life. Thank you so much Eckhart.
Thank you Eckhard , your message comes to me always in the right moment!
We are so blessed to be alive in the era of Eckhart Tolle 🙌🏻
I've just experienced this. So the other day I was coming home when I saw that someone had dumped probably two hole pickup truck loads of garbage on my property. My first reaction was not strong, which is unusual since I don't do violations of my space very well. So I got out and looked at it, and still did not have a strong reaction. I got in my truck to enter my driveway, and at that exact moment the sheriff was right behind me. I motioned them over, and we talked. And not only is it difficult to convict someone on a dumping violation, but I wondered what good it would do. I still was amazed that I was in acceptance of the garbage. And instead of like in my past, I remained accepting over the days. I've decided that I'll go clean it up, and pay what will probably be $200 to get rid of it. And now not only am I accepting of it, but I'm imagining I'll even get some kind of enjoyment out of doing it. After all, it is a beautiful place with large trees all around. I have done what Eckhart talks about in this video. I am so glad to have gotten to this space, with the garbage at least. Oh yeah, I wanted to add that the sheriff never drives down my street. It was as if some kind of play was being acted out that he should show up right behind me at that moment. It was so weird. And I now see all of it as a kind of preordained challenge that I have accepted. It feels so good to be at peace. But some things I still cannot handle. Assholes on Harleys making a racket just light me off. I value silence so much. I hate noise pollution. Maybe some day I will have the ability to accept noisemakers.
😂
Not sure why but this was very enjoyable to read.
One giant step for mankind, over the garbage
How about if you needed that $200 for an urgent medical issue for a family member? Or how about if you urgently had to raise cash for a relative's life-saving operation by selling your home and downsizing, but the sale fell through because the buyer saw what happened and became cautious about the area? My point is, a lot of these teachings are all very well for those with options, and the audience is often middle-class people who have resource to deal with such problems. But of all the "spiritual" people I've known, I've not yet found one who deals with a genuinely catastrophic situation any better than someone non-spiritual. (Note: this isn't a pop at you at all, it's just a general feeling I've had for a while).
Wow!
i believe i’ve seen almost all the content of eckhart ou there! and this is my favorite. it never fails to point my attention to presence. he’s light here is especially strong 💛 thank you for sharing this
" A NEW EARTH"......The MUST READ BOOK By EKHART TOLLE.....
"The world is here for you to experience things that are going wrong". This speaks to me. Nothing that goes smoothly and easily, "everything" you have to work out is complicated and very painful, but when for a second i remember that's for why i am here that's a healing moment. The "experience" continues in an unexpected form and manner and the pain still comes back and i struggle with myself again and again.
Just imagine, you are feeling sad, depressed and anxious. And you would sit in a forest, on a smooth warm rock, next to a gurgling little stream, holding hands with Eckhart. He does not need to say anything, just softly chuckle once in a while... 🥰
Yes!
But....is it present to grab at romance when in pain?
Jeez these comments are saturated with the exact opposite of the teaching
Excellent talk! Many thanks to Mister Tolle & this YT channel. Kindest regards from Cancún, México.
Love Eckhart, he is do calming and true. I'm learning so much from his teachings. I wish everyone could appreciate his insight and knowledge.
Absolutely
Yes 🙂
I thank God for you Eckhart ! You are such an awesome teacher. I love to listen to you. I hope some of your teachings sink into me..... keep being. I am tired of playing the dramas. I have been playing a human for so long. I would like to wake up ! I have begun !
Love the laughing voice in the background 😂
"My uncle's car is bigger than your car!" - I just heard a young teenage kid shout this out at one of his peers and busted out laughing because I remembered Ekhert mentioning this being an example of how the indirect ego is acted out. 😂
Thank you for this upload without ads 😌🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
A huge hug and thank you to the very fun very alive person sharing his heart through laughter it really adds to the atmosphere xo
I love how Mr Eckhard talk about Jesus. I most say I love too jesus🙂❤️👌
Listening to you really helps me to connect to my inner being❤
This person is just cracking up like he’s here to see a comedian. 😂
the laughing buddha...🤣
He is genuinely a happy man. His laugh is very childlike. He is the most ego-less person I've ever listened to, which is why he is the number 1 spiritual teacher~ He's a blessing.
'Spiritual teachers' are the most ridiculous comedians. Trying to 'awaken' people pretending to be 'unawakened'. What can you do but laugh?
hahahah as soon as i read this i heard that guys laugh hahaah
I love when Conciousness is comedy . Unconscious is seriously funny
Eckhart sure knows how to make learning fun! Between hearing Eckhart laugh and the person in the audience laughing, I'm sure everyone watching this was laughing 😂
Thank you! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is life changing stuff. He's cracked it. best description of the unmanifested i've heard
+FutureSoundStation He's cracked it is right! He has put it ALL in words we can comprehend. Just wonderful and so needed in this suffering world!
Yes its true for me too. He's nailed it.
Yes 🙂
For me this is the best of all the ET videos on here but they are all so special.
I think this is the best ET talk Ive heard and they are all so wonderful ofcourse but he shares so much truth in this particular one.💕
It was the worst with that annoying laugh in the background
Always feel like he laughs at the seriousness of life... yeh he does that and I'm starting to do that too! Wonderful Eckhart!
You have inspired me to write poetry such as this my dear soul!
Transformation....
I’ve been given this space... this moment
As I’ve been open to allow
The transformation comes within
By existing in the now
Transcendence becomes the journey
From which consciousness is made known
Realizing our present moment
Is the place from which we’re grown
So the process of doing
Striving in effort instead of grace
We find ourselves depleted
From the tiresome rendition of pace
If one rests in their precious now
Focusing on presence and breath
We feel the trials of life leaving
Hence, This moment is the ego death
Our spirit then arises
And Holiness abounds
The efforts fall away
And it is then, we hear the sound
The precious sound of silence
The beauty of grace so pure
The magnificence of life
Evolving beyond this sphere
Going inward instead of out
Trusting in the process of rest
We shall know the answers
As calmly as the bird sits in its nest
Life is no longer an effort
And we now live in the flow
Nothing seems to matter
Because we are in the know!
Amen

Brigid Rohde this is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. I wrote it in my journal. ❤️🙏🏼 many blessings and peace to you
I love you Eckhart . You are a bright light on the earth. Your teaching has changed my life and the life of a lot of people.
My mother died this evening. I was so lucky to find Eckhart just a few weeks before this happened. Now I feel I'll cope, I'm trying. Thank you Eckhart.
These teachings are wonderful. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to explain these principles Eckhart. A wonderful talk!!! 💖
I love the man laughing in the background. can you imagine him at an actual comedy gig, he'd explode.
Linda Furley He'd be put in an insane asylum
I was thinking Tolle might have picked that guy up from an insane asylum and put him in the audience just to fk with us! 😂✌🏼
Now you know where the big Bang came from
Explosions of energy laughter
He is my favorite teacher by far, I agree with all the praise below, plus I think he is adorable and with a lovely sense of humor.
I love the innocence of eckhart and the laugh of that person that laughs at everything especially at 18:50
My ego wants to slap the guy who is laughing in the background. But then, I entered Zen from there.
Jonathan Buckwalter and there you have it.
I think I've entered zen before there because the guy didn't bother me at all. I found him funny actually.
😂😂😂
my thoughts wondered if the guy laughing in the background was paid to overreact with an embarrassing drunken laugh; I entered zen from there.
Laughter breaks though the ego...
A good analogy of consciousness is like the being is a radio station. What is the reception and the transmission of that being. A working station needs a good signal. With out interference. Where the signal comes from is a mystery….god the universe. Just listen inside. The self can not describe but only be aware that. I am nothing but everything. Now that is beginning with no ending. Thank you master Eckhart for your presence and time for humanity.
Soo hard for me not to continuously laugh with this guy in the background awkwardly not knowing if he wants to laugh or not lol
Just relax my friend
I started reading the power of now 12 years ago and am only in the past couple of years experiencing how to be in the now. This video makes perfect sense to me at 66. simple peaceful positive content life inspite of many challenges . Still have to work on thinking too much and causing myself stress at times . love Eckhart's quiet sharing wisdom
We can all learn a lot from the laughter in the background.
How re assuring to hear Eckhart speak and he is so right about situations and how they happen and how we should react to them or better yet aloud the moment to be. Thank You very much Eckhart for Your teachings, l enjoyed very much the laughing gentleman also, my guess is that he gets it.
I love his child like humor. So refreshing. I see him as a wise tortoise 🐢.
I love his humor, I love his little chuckles, I love his timing - he is my guru.
