It's so nice to settle down on the sofa after dinner, pick up my phone, and find a new ET meditation. Just right on a cold winter night, cozy and grateful in my home.
Thank you.

My perfect retreat ❤
I love that you call him “ET”! But fully agree.
Blessings to all❤
Eckhart is one of the greatest teachers of our era. So grateful for all these years of clarity and wisdom ❤️🙏❤️
Watch out you will feed his ego. Your language is egoistic, try and overcome this.
Thank you dear sweet Eckhart ❤ 🎶 ❤ It's all an illusion and As long as we live in our minds/egos it's freaking unbearable! Trapped in the illusion of consent thoughts ... Trying to understand reality from our minds/ego will be a dead end, so I try to separate myself from thoughts by simply saying, "That's a thought .. Look at all those thoughts etc" Not believing every thought. To try to simply be the observer of each thought.
I try to meditate 5 min each morning and just focus on my breathing and quickly thoughts will start, so I'll gently bring it back to my breathing. The MOMENT I realize I'm back to thoughts I'm the observer! There's the real "me", the observer, my soul and separate me, the crazy, upset, unhappy ego!
But unfortunately The suffering is necessary to motivate us to go through this process.
Even though this 5 min is a quick easy way to get out of the unhappy ego/mind and to find some freaking peace in this crazy world, it's still the hardest thing I've ever done! You've got to want it bad and realize the ego is a frighten child that doesn't want to let go ... To let go and let this shift in consciousness happen ... But it's exciting that so many are watching this video to ask and learn of a deeper meaning and it's even more exciting because it's happening all over the world! Thank you Eckhart, A true living spiritual master 🎶
Thankyou for your comment ❤
That’s exactly what I’m going thru now - only being with myself.
Not connecting with anyone - just remember My Truth.
Hard, because I realized that thru years I took so much from people around me. Their behaviors, their beliefs, their energies 😳- we forget who we are without those - stay with yourself always. No matter what people around you do or think - authentic truth is yours and only yours
❤❤❤
✨Amen✨
❤🙏🖖🏻💯
“You only know yourself as an object in consciousness “
Beautiful quote Eckhart (:
Read “being and time”by Martin Heidegger, he has.
The “emptiness” or “spaciousness” Eckhart refers to is what I’ve experienced as a state of shear “openness,” where there is no more doing, only BEING present within that powerful oneness of divinity, GOD💜
This concept of emptiness of mind and spaciousness of mind, can also be understood as freedom of mind. A mind free from thoughts, a mind free from emotions, memories, imaginations, fears, worries, desires, etc. A free mind. Free your mind. Freedom is everything.
I enjoy listening to Mr. Tolle. I always learn/remember something. I am grateful that this is available.
Brilliant reminder to always keep the divine spaciousness within us free of conceptual thoughtforms and not to let them deter us from our true essence. Thanks Eckhart.☮️
trust in life is trust in yourself :)
Wise words 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing Eckhart! Great reminder to stay in touch with one's true essence beyond the conditioned mind. 💜
this makes sense, for example if I want to learn about woodworking, you could be a wood scientist, but have never picked up a hand tool in your life or made anything and still think you are an expert.
A beautiful way of describing the severity of delusions of separation and perceived enemies in the mid-east, in europe, in america, in the far east, among churches, among corporations, workplaces, among militaries, between political parties, among groups, within communities, among our very own families. Well done dear Eckhart!🙏🙏🙏
This needs to go viral🌞
Thanks, Eckhart. A real gift for humanity and for those of us on a spiritual path, igniting the journey ultimately for everyone ❤❤❤
Eckhart is one of the greatest teachers of our era. So grateful for all these years of clarity and wisdom ❤🙏❤
Thank you, Eckhart, for sharing today, this spiritually struggling newborn has received your message today.
If we want to be truly happy and at peace with ourselves and everyone else then surely knowing and truly accepting what we don't and cannot possibly know at this moment in time is the key to that true happiness and peace. The ego cannot handle uncertainty as it needs to know all the answers to all the questions and where there is no certainty or true knowledge the ego is happy to invent it for itself. But we our true selves have no such problem with uncertainty because we are very happy to simply Accept what is, Trust what will be and be Grateful for everything without needing to know all the answers to all the questions in oder to do so 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I do this all the time I stay outside of the box, observe/hear, leave, return, observe/hear, leave, return, speak/text, leave, return, edit/articulate what new comes to mind, and on it goes lol
13:54 “you can actually think better when you’re able to step out of thinking. And then when you think don’t lose yourself completely in the thinking. Then you can see more clearly.”
How beautiful are these words of Truth....❤
About what we are about what it means to have Faith, about the Art of any discipline....✨
We are tied by this silver☄️ thread to the Source.❤
it's a miracle🌟
So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨
Gracias ECKHART por éste video y que lo puedo disfrutar en Español. !! Y gracias también por recordarnos de manera simple, entendible que hay que practicar una y otra vez limpiar nuestra mente de pensamientos inútiles, y escuchar el silencio que habla cómo usted lo menciona, saludos y bendiciones. !! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you Eckhart, needed this immensely ❤
This is a world of endless discoveries that most importantly includes our soul.❤️🙏
Anytime I watch one of these videos, mysteriously I feel better after watching it. I think Eckhart's presence reaches me and that "feels" good. So I like to watch as many of these videos as I can. Otherwise I forget who really "I am". 😊
Thank you so much Eckhart 🙏 you talked to my heart, reached my soul ❣️❤️🕊️🙏
And read the labeling on honey because a lot of it has corn syrup added
😂
LOL makes funny garble face and says “people become mortal enemies because your stream of thought does not agree with my stream of thought” brilliant so true it’s ridiculous
I agree that it's more proper to call it "spaciousness" than "emptiness." "Spaciousness" sounds happy 😊 but "emptiness" sounds unhappy 😟
Yes. Emptiness sounds lonely. Spaciousness sounds friendly and like freedom to enjoy being. Playtime.
@@lynnhall9957 Thank you for your comment 🙂
Die Nacht leuchtet
Mir ist es angenehm anrührend in stiller Unaufgeregtheit
jener zwanglosen Gelassenheit das Bild den Ton und Klang
einer mit sich und der Welt vereinten Stimme zu lauschen
Dankbarkeit
Thank you for bringing this beautiful message.
Sooo good. This is so helpful specialy in todays 🌎 We love you Tolle😊 Thanks Everyone who works with and publish this video too🎉🎉🎉 God Bless
Grateful for this amazing man! Bless you, Ekhardt!❤
God is an energy and he’s an energy of love, and he’s everything and omnipresent he sent within and without
Before anything existed in the material world, a single energy (if named; God) desired; I know of everything but yet I can't experience what I know. I know of love ... but I want to "experience" love, touch, etc. So this energy split itself apart to have something to relate to ... and at that moment, relativity and all of us were born!
But Even with others to "relate" to, we had the same desire; to "experience" what we knew. So we all made an agreement to come here, to live in flesh ... but we realized to fullfill our experience, opposites must also exist. To know of good, we must know and experience bad. Both must exist for experience. To know of love, fear must exist, dark and light and Tall and short etc. To that ends, we must not know who we are, of our true nature (our connected spirits) and we must believe that we're all separate but we can never not be who we are, so we did the next best thing, we forgot who we are! Therefore, we don't teach, we simply "remind" each other, to "remember" to "re enter" the membership ... Remember.
So reality is everyone's dream brought to life through our consciousness. Example; the double slit experiment proved, if you observe wave forms they jump to particles (solid form) and vise versa! So everything is not solid but a wave form without the observer! So reality only exist through the observer. When this study broke, it was the first real measurable study of reality!
But The real question is, why do we exist? It's simply to quiet the mind and the ego until we can realize our true nature, our consciousness, which is our souls. And once we find that space of stillness and make that connection to our egos ... with our souls ... which is where we came from and will return once again! Until we make this connection during a lifetime, we'll keep coming back to play this game over and over again. See you soon! 🎶 Namaste 🎶
The best Eckhart video I've seen for ages, I've seen some good ones in the past that have been repeated many times on this channel but this is the first time I've seen this one, thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great insight into the mysteries of our existence. ❤
Thank you Eckhart, thank you, thank you ❤
Sometimes, religious people, including Christians, say, "God is in you." But the explanation of what this means should also follow. The real explanation came to me long ago when I (as a Christian) realised the following. On the one hand, according to Apophatic theology, the essence of God is unexpressible through logical concepts; God is not anything you can express through logical concepts: God is not A, not B, not C, etc., speaking schematically. So, God is Nothing. (As we guess, this Nothing is not a completely logical concept. It's partly intuitive.) On the other hand, when you say to yourself, "I as a spirit am neither the body nor the emotions and thoughts" - you perceive Nothing in you. This is how God is in you. Isn't it amazing?..
Werd & same
What a wonderful realization you’ve shared🌟So illusive yet also omnipresent 🌟Only GOD🌟
In God-Consciousness it may look or seem like God is in you, a cute way of thinking about it, but God is not in or inside anything, rather, and more correctly, God is with you, and He is your Father.
What resides inside or in you or as you or your True Essence is the soul, which is real and exists. It's utterly great, second only to God, Who is the Most Great.
@@Aed-Adlan Yes, of course.
How do you know what you claim to know please? Sharing opinions and beliefs is perfectly fine as long as we cleary state them as our opinions and beliefs, if we wish to claim fact and truth then we must surely provide undisputed proof to back up our claims of fact and truth, be those who make the claims Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu or any other beliefs or non belief system. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Knowing and truly accepting what you can't possibly know at this time is probably the greatest truth and wisdom there is available to any of us 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is Elkhart the spirit of Winnie the Pooh? When he says honey, 🍯 it clicks. 😂
😂❤❤
😅😅❤❤
😂😂😂❤
14:09 eckhart had a bliss moment, sort of self immersion, am blessed to see that 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
12/20/23 xlant..always good to listen to him while i eat..watching the news can upset your meal..Gos is love..simple and elgant..on a bumper sticker is deep knowledge..straght is the path..and so very narrow the gate....
Thank you very much, for this interesting teaching.✨🙏✨
Two words… thank you… 🙏🙏🙏
Very deep Realisation, wonddrful❤
No person can know the Love felt within a NDE without having one. For me it intoxicated me to seek a path back to Father. I travel the narrow path.
I've not had a NDE, but after taking psilocybin on the shore of a beautiful lake I felt like I was floating on a cloud of love and was being massaged by the universe's love.
Thank you so much 🙏🌿🍀
Thank you for this wise and intelligent talk . 🙏🙏
Aha!
I don’t need to fear/be anxious because what sustains me is something so much bigger than anything around me.
Thank You!🕊
The Honey Parable suggests we all trust our physical sensory input differently than we trust our academic grasp mentally. Given the same data, we prefer and trust our taste of honey more than we trust our idea of honey.
Thank you very much! 🙏🫶

Sense your essence as consciousness. There is vast power but isn't egoic power.
There is no fear anymore. Fear is the little me surrounded by other me.
Egoic power is power over somebody.
Belief is intellectual and conceptual.
Faith isn't.
Faith is deep trust in life, knowing you are extension of Source, inseparable.
No duality anymore.
Thanks Eckhart. 20 December 2023.🤩🌱🦆🍒🦋😎🤠🏘🦋
Thank you!
8:35
Know thyself.
Know beyond concepts, not through concepts.
You aren't object in consciousness. You are consciousness.
I AM.
I know I AM.
Thanks Eckhart 20 December 2023.⛳🦆🍦😎🍒💖🦆🦅
Thankyou Eckhart 💚
This is such an important subject THE most important of all that should be mandatory in so-called “educational” institutions. It’s institutional thinking and ideology that has to stop. I look forward to watching this today.
Ich bin so unglaublich dankbar dass es Eckhart Tolle gibt und ich erkenne die tiefe Wahrheit in allem was er sagt. Seine Videos tun mir unglaublich gut wann immer ich sie ansehe.
Doch ich bin im Moment etwas verzweifelt. Denn wie er es sagt, verstehe ich zwar mit dem Verstand genau was er meint. Ich beobachte auch viel meine Gedanken und übe in der Meditation den Moment wahrzunehmen wie er ist. Das beruhigt mich und ich merke dass es einen guten Effekt auf mich hat, aber mein Problem ist irgendwie, dass ich die Stille und die Präsenz zwar erleben und wahrnehmen kann, ABER ich kann mich nicht damit identifizieren. Ich kann nicht fühlen dass ich die Stille oder das Bewusstsein BIN. Ich kann etwas finden was gut tut, aber es ist immer etwas das ich erlebe und nicht etwas das ich bin.
Wie ändert sich das? Wie kann ich jemals meine Essenz wirklich erkennen und nicht nur konzeptuell verstehen, wenn sich alles immer extern von mir anfühlt? Kann mir vielleicht jemand der mein Problem versteht mir einen Tipp geben?
Lovely message, true and entertaining at the same time.😉
Truth is always better received when presented with humour.🤩
Thanks for referring to the message, than praising the messenger. Many on this comment section are affected by the style and not the content of the subject.
I just loveeee this mannnn ❤🎉
Thank you
Regards, thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you so much😊
You can know everything about transcendence, illumination, but have never tasted it. 🎉❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you x
Tack!
Thank you for your support.
Thank you. 🙏🌌💚
Hi from Annie this is a great topic could talk about this with you for hours it is very interesting.
That was an interesting video. I can’t agree with it all, but the overall focus to move beyond stories and narratives is a very important one. It’s good to know that there is someone that being you that has that consideration in mind. We are not stories. We are not the stories we tell.
i love everyone and everybody i hope you and your family will be safe
❤❤ he is simply 😍 great 😊
Life is a mystery not a riddle. It has to be lived not solved. OSHO.❤
“Faith is , not wanting to know the truth" Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not seek for the truth, merely cease to cherish opinions or cling to ideas and beliefs as if they were the truth.
Have opinions, ideas and beliefs by all means but do not confuse them with or preach them as THE truth. Knowing and truly accepting what neither you or anyone else can possibly truly know at this moment in time, is very possibly the greatest truth and wisdom of all🙏🙏🙏🙏
Everything you say, dear Mr Eckhart, touches the essence of being in every living individual. But how is communication possible when others want to dominate and determine you and even kill you if you have a different opinion than theirs?
❤
4:02
Do I choose to relinquish all conceptions and narratives?
I can still remember if needed.
Thanks Eckhart. 20 December 2023.🤩⛳🦆🏘🦅🎯🎁🙉
I have receive ideas before I see or hear about them through the mainstream media.
thank you xoxoxo
🙏❤️
tak for det :) fred
Belief vs Spaciousness…the difference between humans…you choose!
Hey can you post any vids on debilitating anxiety? I want to work u knoww. Transmuting the painbody and like things inside/ outside I love all your painbody teachings thank u so much but what to do about debilitating anxiety?
Anxiety to me, is leaving the present moment to an unknown future. This is where anxiety starts for me, an unknown future based on various events that may or may not happen . To stop this is stay present, as I can only act in the present. Meditation keeps me present. Al
How do I distinguish mind and matter when it comes to knowing my intentions in the present moment
❤❤❤
Bist Du bereit
Das Ego ist der Widerstand und klagt das Leben an.
Es möchte höher stehen als alle Sterne Gottes und Hochmut im Bewusstsein"kommt vor seinem Fall"...
Brauche ich mehr Leid,sorgt dafür die Zeit und ruft vor meiner Tür:"bist Du jetzt bereit?
Nun in jedem Ende ist ein Neubeginn, mitten in der Leere unser Mitgefühl...
4 parts of mind: consciousness of emotion and reason; unconsciousness of both. 4 parts of life: Matter, energy, consciousness, unconsciousness. Consciousness = unconsciousness times attention squared
Hmm is similar to the Tao: "The Tao that can be named is not the Tao". Everytime we try to define God, Tao, etc. we miss the sense of it and quintessence :)
Yes, I think we are starting to “get” this💜
This man is making a worthy attempt at changing the back ground understanding of being. The understanding that we feel and “ the know how we can do but not say”. If he doesn’t succeed then we will soon be lost in nihilism.
Having watched and listened to ET and Rupert Spira, both of whom I have found helpful, I am left with one big reservation in my gut. This just feels overwhelmingly selfish, self absorbed...the complete opposite of ordinary people who selflessly help others.
❤❤❤❤
The mind acknowledges the “ NO FORM” through religious believes and prayer and being grateful. The Other I knows this reality because t is it.
How then conscious people talk in everyday life I wonder?

Die Brücke
Die reinen Gedichte sind ein Spiegel und bauen Brücken im Inneren Raum,
Sie sind reines Denken und Fühlen und verbinden in mir das Tun und das Sein.
Das Tun ist die Zeit der Formen und Objekte. Das Sein ist der Ursprung, zeitlos und rein...
Die innere Brücke ist das Bewusstsein, das wache Auge im Raum...
Ein Schritt nach Vorne, ein Schritt zurück und Du iäufst im Spiegel mit...
Who knows that book?! The doubted think? Who tell me where i can foundit? Ty 🙂🙏✨ love
27:14 “Somehow they (meditation books he refers to) survived the Dark Ages when almost nobody could read and write except a few monks in the monasteries. And they kept it alive. But the main purpose is not to produce some great thing or have some great insight. That may come as an addition. The main purpose is to bring this state of consciousness into your life. And then whatever happens through it happens.”
But that happens differently for everybody, no one state is interpreted correctly, as no one state is connected to the other’s state each consciousness is separate. So in my case, never allow another’s state of consciousness into my consciousness never give it my attention, as it only seeks attention for control. And so I didn’t, thanking nature for giving me the instinct to ignore ego and move forward.
🙏🙏🙏❤️

So I can only know I by experiencing I
🖖🏻🙏❤️💯
And yet, it wouldn't be an error for each of us to say, "I am God".
My thoughts~ We are created in the image of God--so like little gods in that way, we reflect our Divine Source, and in recovering our original innocence in returning to our Source (The Father of Lights) we can reflect God's loving intention and image-- as true sons and daughters. Even in our triune construct too, as spirit-soul-body beings we can re engage with God. Spirit is Sourced by Divine Life, Love and Light. We are firstly Spirit Beings. Like the sunbeams sourced as light from the Sun, we are on a journey to fulfil our destiny...so we are born to remember, reflect and become One with Source--aka, The Light of the World. 0:00 0:00
