Be yourself. Figure out what you love and do it everyday. Ignore what other people think, and you'll notice that the right people will begin to gravitate towards you. You'll also start to notice that you care less and less about what others think, because you're perfect the way you are.
Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs. Stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside. Eckhart Tolle has alot to offer you. Effectiveness is the Measure of Truth.
Wow. I find his very voice and pacing to be very calming and awakening. Usually I try to enjoy things that most people do not - I hate following the crowd. But I can't deny the living truth of this man.
I must say.....I am enjoying all of Eckharts books!. I feel happy and more peaceful....and it's showing in my relationships with other people around me. Thank you Eckhart for your wisdom and love...thanks for sharing. Jayne in Saint Augustine Fl.
A wonderful teacher who not only points to the path each must take to achieve stillness with acceptance but not attachment to thoughts but can actually take you there with the manner in which he speaks and pauses to allow understanding of the stillness between all sounds and thoughts.
His voice is relaxing. I like what he is talking about no one talks about this, like your inner thoughts or desires as windows without any influence or interruption(worries interests or habits), a state of pure being to say.
He's not on drugs, though, very present in this moment, you could see it in his eyes, the way he breathes and speaks. That Deeper presence is in all of us. And when we are in the presence of more concious, we become more concious, concious of our True Selfs.
This man woke me up! Yet the message is timeless and is repeated thru all the masters on being in the here n now. In the now, we are the background, the awareness that witness all of our lives.
The stillness in between words that he talks about is a full blown nirvana when trained to recognize it. In that state nobody can possibly be angry or think they are better than anyone else; as we know we are a part of everyone else, just as everyone else is a part of us.
Ekhart expresses the heart of the Buddha's teachings on the practice of mindfulness with a freshness and clarity that is most welcome. Mindfulness is one of the most essential skills that we can learn for healing emotional suffering. Much Thanks for this great teaching. MindfulnessMeditationTherapy
I keep watching E.T. videos on You Tube and find it very meditative just like listening to his cd and the flowering of human consciousness video someone gave me. Again, very great.
It is a profound wisdom, the feeling of coming home is what is needed. All those negative christians on the forum must realise that their lies and based on fear autoritarian religion belongs to the past and there is nothing they can do about that, what a relief, to breath deep and feel this lightness, no past, no future, no history only the NOW and the bliss...
"the analysis of pointers is pointless" "in between the words is the fabric on which the entire reality of existence is painted" what a wonderful expression of what is.
I know high, and I stumbled on this dude recently and viewed all of his footage so far... this guy is blazed as a chimney in every one of his presentations.
yeah i do actually, everything he's spouting is ripped off from hermetic books from the 1800s, nothing this dude says is revolutionary, people thousands of years ago knew this shit, and a lot of people already know more than this dude.
+Dsundival Not just as far as the 1800s...what Eckhart speaks about goes back 3000 yrs ago. He doesn't profess to be uniquely "'human"'. That is what the media have stated. There was a shift in his brain that occurred during a time of intense stress which can be compared to a continuous "'high"'. The drugs you take quell the ego. Tolle got the same result inwardly. He isn't the first or last to experience this BUT he is one of the best at explaining it and thereby helping others.
Tolle did copy alot of his teachings from other people, such as Jjiddu krishnamurti, Alan Watts and The Dao- just to name a few. However, this only strengthen my positive attitude towards Tolle. This teaching transcends times and is still very relevant. Tolles greatest contribution is to make the teachings avaliable to a large group of people, who would otherwise not have gained acces to to it. Tolle is a great teacher and im sure hes found peace. And thats about it.
Tolle is not trying to be original, nor has he ever claimed that his teaching is new or hasn't been teached earlier by others. His teachings are timeless however, and they are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. Most people on earth still haven´t understood the truth behind these teachings, so there is still a great need for teachers today. They all teach the same: consciousness.
The deepest way to know all that was, is, and is to come, is in stillness. You can find "it" in endless ways but the most profound is stillness. Many blessings.
This human, is giving freely, his knowledge of existence and what our thought process is able to achieve! I thank you Sir, your understanding of our SELF is purely ingenious! Sharing knowledge is a fantastic magical Key!
Despite disagreeing with his mystical approach to live, I have a great deal of respect for Tolle. The world is in a spiritual quandary at the moment. With the old Judeo-Christian religions slowly dying out and becoming outdated, people have less and less established dogma to answer their questions. Tolle is one of the few modern day teachers attempting to tackle this and create a viable system of belief.
His talk makes sense to people who are spiritually ready to listen to it. If you don't understand it, it means you're not spiritually ready and that you are a pain body.
It is a human beeing without ego, subjektiv feeling and the self we think we are to day! Here is no hieraci, games or power the way we belive power is to day eather...Here is just everythin that is...
I think that Eckhart has it right but he misses a fundamental point about awareness which is that you must do with kindness, and openness towards yourself. Because sometimes that is the only way you can stay in moment when it is not what you want it to be. I would say that Pema Chodron's work is an important companion work to Eckhart's.
I never met a person I liked who didn't have flaws. The most colorful people in life are riddled with flaws and so very beautiful. People lose sight of the fact that we need to find beauty within ourselves in order to be happy. External beauty is nice but fleeting.
@TheHoffmanHouse i know exaclty wat ur talking about. whenever im with my girlfriend, who i love and she loves me, i completley forget about things that bother me, and i dont worry about the past or future. i just think about wat im doing at that exact moment with her. and being with her makes me happier than anything else. i feel so peaceful and happy. i miss her :(
the second A new earth - BLEW MY MIND - that is all i will say. and n,o Im not enlightened, i fail repeatedly in every way possible, but still I feel I have been elevated to a plane of existence beyond me, and I am so happy for having "met" erkhart tolle. GET THE NEW EARTH, SERIOUSLY!
True...and He is 'One with God', "I and my Father are One'... And we are also 'god seeds' meant to become 'saints' ... Speak to Jesus directly, LISTEN to him, don't just pray AT him... LISTEN to what he really says-- not to what 'man' says - what your pastor/preacher says...spend real time in your prayer closet and really find out...for your self.
I’ve been watching Eckhardt for a few years now, almost daily & recently, I had 2 mystical experiences. Eckhardt is always saying he doesn’t plan what he says, just allows consciousness to flow through. How beautiful I just fully realized that God is speaking through him.
I've been devouring this guy's books lately. I'd been an atheist for some time...a position in reaction to the disgust i felt toward man's religions. I still think atheism is justified in light of that....but....it's nice to see someone who can cut through all the BS and point to the truth itself, as experience. 2 years ago, sitting on a hill outside, after a VERY painful life experience, I unexpectedly found myself IMMERSED in love and peace. I've been trying to get that back ever since..
Being yourself is YOU without FEAR! Is knowing that you are part of the universe as being as infinite and complex as it! That you are on earth to experiment the contrast of life and learn to LOVE! You dont have to please anybody and nobody can displease you because its all about YOU and your conciousness of YOURSELF as being an INFINITE BEING! There is nothing to fear we are just here to experiment and evolve!
One will never find himself with books, teachings, videos, of ANY kind. You will ONLY find yourself and know yourself through Yourself. Only you know yourself the best, if you havent ever talked to yourself about yourself, then start doin it.
I see me in you. It took me about 25 years to first live through my indoctrinated belief system, then slowly experiment with my individuality all the while trying to justify my religious core beliefs. it took many years to go from trying to rationalize on top of those beliefs to questioning every one of my assumptions and beliefs that I have acquired. Truly honest questioning is going as deep as you can with all your beliefs and making it clear where they are coming from.
Great videos! Eckhart Tolle manages to articulate the ideas that often swim around in our heads which we cannot seem to nail down and express.I find him very inspirational, so much so that I have written a few songs inspired by his ideas, feel free to visit my channel to listen. Thanks for these videos!
In no way is it evil to let go of ego, uproot yourself from familiarity and travel and show people how they CAN live with peace in their lives. He is not contradicting any moral beliefs. If only there were more people trying to bring this weary world peace of mind and rid us of ego and discrimination. I say kudos Eckhart. You've helped me greatly to acheive peace that I never thought would exist within but that was there all along. :)
I do practice this as much as i can! The thing that's most important is that you should practice love and forget fear! We are not material beings living a spiritual experience but spiritual beings living a material experience here on earth! nothing that can happen at a material level can harm us!
Wow I have to watch this video like 10 times to even begin to wrap my mind about it. But what's even more amazing is that I know my heart identifies with these teachings despite the fact that my mind doesn't understand. Eckhart Tolle is truly an inspiration.
To me, out of all and many spiritual teachers he is one who can explain it better to a “modern” mind the experience of awakening.. without missconceptions and as transparent as posible.
I have read many of the post on Eckharts videos, both positive and negative. Whether he is "right" or "wrong" in the end doesnt really matter, can you use "his" message to improve the quality of your life?, does he make sense of some of the senselessness?, for me? yes he does and thats all one can ask for. Thank you Eckhart.
Absolutely sceegbug. It's zen through and through. He just happened to write it in a way westerners could latch onto without feeling like they are Buddhists.
wow! thats so inspiring and true. i feel we are all spiritual beings and confined by our material world. i love people for there spirit and not their material body.
I really enjoy theses tapes. I am so delighted how Tintin became wise when he grew up. The knowledge he gained from his trip to the Himalayas - when he met the monks in the monastery, was profound. I find it very convincing even with a new name.
After reading "The Power off Now" by Eckhart Tolle everything looks more alive and the colors are sharper and prettier. I always take a walk at night now cause everything looks so pretty and wonderfull. My life is alot better after reading his book :)
I love how you can see, at 1:42, Eckhart stepping away from his thought, to make sure his "mind’s voice" is nonbiased. The simple act of closing his eyes to connect within, is so subtle that many people probably miss it, yet it is a prime example of his mental discipline. I would love to be as at peace as him but if being at that level of peace entails having a voice that puts everyone to sleep.. I guess I would take just enough internal conflict to keep interested social interaction. :)
THANk YOU ECKHART- read living in the NOW purchased tapes & (now) CD's listen to on drives-TRUTH - when younger Taoist temple's Monks would make me sweep the floors, took yrs to know why- ECKHART gracously shows 'Truth' going into pain-body's bring me to NOW! & the Gateway to inner conscienceness -letting go of the western (eastern too) man's noise, learnt from society! Eckhart's great gift teachs us in laymen's terms cosmic conscience w/in each 1 of us THANK YOU UNIV for ECKHARTS AWAKING
It is interesting that some people interpret it differently. For example, i am Muslim and i have been mediating for a while. And i would say, i respect the people more,less jealousy more love, started to do the sings visely, become less argumentetiv, started to offer unconditional love toward my family, girlfriend and friends. Also, i am not impressed with it anymore, but i can see how people enjoy the themselves around me. I hope i was somehow helpful.
The reason this discussion is important to me is that so many people live their lives as if heaven is some place to "get to" after they die. So they deny themselves so many of the joys in life in order to avoid an imaginary negative consequence in the future. THERE IS NO "FUTURE" IN REALITY. The time to live is NOW. Heaven is right here, inside of all of us, right NOW. And if we are present and conscious enough, we can bring that heaven out of ourselves and into the world, just as Jesus taught.
Phil: I agree with you, I sometimes choose to vent ... and that's OK too ... I'm fine and am having an entertaining and interesting sunday morning - thanks :)
Hi vipsamsam -- I agree with what you said, "He (Tolle) is using Hypnotic Techniques..." I actually did hypnosis years ago to deal with a specific issue in my life...and what you have said definitely rings true with me. Peace2U, Kim
I've stopped thinking and focused more on breathing and NOT ONLY THAT, I found calmness. i'm still alive and breathing. You just THINK you cant stop thinking. sorry to say this but its all in your HEAD. you believe what you THINK is true, not what really IS true. peace!! :)
I think that this adds something to the wisdom Eckhart speaks: "Don't think. FEEL. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!" - Bruce Lee
My favorite aspect of Tolle (and Landmark Education, as Juno writes): empasisis on "being" in the present: "...a lot of people think or believe or know they are being--but that's thinking or believing or knowing, not being...almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to be. why? because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you are being a lot of other people; but the moment you are being, you're nobody-but-yourself."-e.e. cummings
I agree Osho can seriously hit the target. I just finished "Walk without Feet, Fly without Wings, Think without Mind" and it was another great journey (conversation) with Bhagwan. Path of Paradox 1 is a fantastic primer also.
Eckhart seems to be channeling.. Is he? of course, he often says the words come from another source.. there is such a calm that comes over me with his voice. What is that?
Juno: "Your own videos prove you are a bore with radical cult ideals." This is a good illustration of just how broad Juno's definition of "cult" and "radical ideals" really is, seeing as most of my videos have to do with business planning, e-commerce, social entrepreneurship, and economic development. Radical indeed...for someone who hasn't quite caught up to the 21st century. I'm glad that Juno has at least caught up with the "radical cult" of people who use the internet.
While the Buddha lived 500 years before Christ, what I find valuable is the similarity in their emphasis on knowing the truth of peace within, and practicing peace towards all. Living Buddha, Living Christ is a wonderful book & utube video on this. Most parents care whether their child's teacher is credible; doesn't have an web degree, only. As for finding truth goes; the state of human affairs and ecology are there for all to see. Do we know the truth when it knocks on the door?
Eckhart saved my life. I never was at a retreat, just read the books and listened to his audiobooks and videos on youtube.
However,
you were fully into the retreat of yourself - along with him -
listening to what is resonate with
your own^ under-ground-ness,
and seeing into your near-around-grounds,
and then walking into your own-ever-been
Open temple of,,^!^
Isn’t it the-All took place
within the path&space, intensely;; meaning straightwardly,
by you-r being fully^ there!
Profound
Joy together _()_
He saved my life too.😊😊
.....every concept is NOT a name and a form!!...not in my little village , anyway!
Mine too 🤍✨
Same here. I was having suicidal thoughts and he helped me to challenge them. They never came back
wonderful message. only those blinded with hate and negativity could not understand.
awaken

Eckart Tolle is amazing. He really changes your perspective on life!
No judgement....only love dear one.
Kindness to you

One of my fave clips of his speaking power... he is so in it, I hear it in the shape of his voice, and how he moves is eyes. Magical 🧚🏼♀️
❤

I feel happy and more peaceful....and it's showing in my relationships with other people around me.
Thank you Eckhart for your wisdom and love...thanks for sharing.

A wonderful teacher who not only points to the path each must take to achieve stillness with acceptance but not attachment to thoughts but can actually take you there with the manner in which he speaks and pauses to allow understanding of the stillness between all sounds and thoughts.
Well said Diana! Thanks for your kind comment.
His voice is relaxing. I like what he is talking about no one talks about this, like your inner thoughts or desires as windows without any influence or interruption(worries interests or habits), a state of pure being to say.
He's not on drugs, though, very present in this moment, you could see it in his eyes, the way he breathes and speaks. That Deeper presence is in all of us. And when we are in the presence of more concious, we become more concious, concious of our True Selfs.
Eckhart tolle really keeps it true, simple and from the heart. This isn't an organized process in reaching enlightenment. He points, to you.
This man woke me up! Yet the message is timeless and is repeated thru all the masters on being in the here n now. In the now, we are the background, the awareness that witness all of our lives.
it calms me down just to hear this guy talk. his voice has something about it.
The stillness in between words that he talks about is a full blown nirvana when trained to recognize it. In that state nobody can possibly be angry or think they are better than anyone else; as we know we are a part of everyone else, just as everyone else is a part of us.
Ekhart expresses the heart of the Buddha's teachings on the practice of mindfulness with a freshness and clarity that is most welcome. Mindfulness is one of the most essential skills that we can learn for healing emotional suffering.

He is being himself - something much more authentically beautiful than needing to attack anothers appearence, which suggests the shallowness of ego.
"be still and know that I am God"
It is a profound wisdom, the feeling of coming home is what is needed. All those negative christians on the forum must realise that their lies and based on fear autoritarian religion belongs to the past and there is nothing they can do about that, what a relief, to breath deep and feel this lightness, no past, no future, no history only the NOW and the bliss...
"Your ESSENCE Is Not Separate From The ESSENCE Of The UNIVERSE"....Thankyou Beloved Ekhart Tolle Sir.......
you guys in a cult or something?

what a wonderful expression of what is.

The Great Books By Ekhart Tolle Sir ,"The Power Of NOW", &"SILENCE SPEAKS”…Are MUST READ By Every CONSCIOUS CITIZEN Of The PLANET…
His talk makes sense to people who are spiritually ready to listen to it. If you don't understand it, it means you're not spiritually ready and that you are a pain body.
There is substance in what he has to say.worth your time watching it.
I am so thankful to you, the ever so wonderful Eckhart Tolle. If I feel this calm watching you on UA-cam, I patiently await to hear you live!
It is a human beeing without ego, subjektiv feeling and the self we think we are to day! Here is no hieraci, games or power the way we belive power is to day eather...Here is just everythin that is...
I love listening to Eckhart Tolle. Gratitude for the 'silent space of stillness'.
I think that Eckhart has it right but he misses a fundamental point about awareness which is that you must do with kindness, and openness towards yourself.

His book describes how prescence delays the physical aging process

his voice is so creepy lmao
I think it's peaceful when you get it..
Here we can be here. Like the time I ran away, turned around and you were standing close to me.
I completely agree, haldor. Your comments here are extremely insightful.
I do practice this as much as i can! The thing that's most important is that you should practice love and forget fear! We are not material beings living a spiritual experience but spiritual beings living a material experience here on earth! nothing that can happen at a material level can harm us!
Wow I have to watch this video like 10 times to even begin to wrap my mind about it. But what's even more amazing is that I know my heart identifies with these teachings despite the fact that my mind doesn't understand. Eckhart Tolle is truly an inspiration.
that zone that is easily found in stillness. Eckhart gave me the ability to still my mind and I'm grateful every moment and respect his teachings.
purple: Yes, Tolle has been a useful tool, a signpost if you will, to my own growth - how mature of you to recognise this.
Silence...
Unconditional Love...
Space for everything and anything to be...
I am that I am...
What he speaks is the truth, I have personally experienced this!
To me, out of all and many spiritual teachers he is one who can explain it better to a “modern” mind the experience of awakening.. without missconceptions and as transparent as posible.
I have read many of the post on Eckharts videos, both positive and negative. Whether he is "right" or "wrong" in the end doesnt really matter, can you use "his" message to improve the quality of your life?, does he make sense of some of the senselessness?, for me? yes he does and thats all one can ask for.

The ultimate nature of enlightenment is
a beneficial use of intelligence. and the humor which arises is good humor.
if you help yourself, you help ALL in the world. That is truth. How can blind one lead blinds?

THANk YOU ECKHART- read living in the NOW purchased tapes & (now) CD's listen to on drives-TRUTH - when younger Taoist temple's Monks would make me sweep the floors, took yrs to know why- ECKHART gracously shows 'Truth' going into pain-body's bring me to NOW! & the Gateway to inner conscienceness -letting go of the western (eastern too) man's noise, learnt from society! Eckhart's great gift teachs us in laymen's terms cosmic conscience w/in each 1 of us THANK YOU UNIV for ECKHARTS AWAKING
His voice is SSSSOOOOO soothing.
the gaps between him talking help more they make you aware of the now and the present moment :)
really grateful for Eckhart's work, I feel like it got me over a real bump in the road
It is interesting that some people interpret it differently. For example, i am Muslim and i have been mediating for a while. And i would say, i respect the people more,less jealousy more love, started to do the sings visely, become less argumentetiv, started to offer unconditional love toward my family, girlfriend and friends.
Also, i am not impressed with it anymore, but i can see how people enjoy the themselves around me.
I hope i was somehow helpful.
The reason this discussion is important to me is that so many people live their lives as if heaven is some place to "get to" after they die. So they deny themselves so many of the joys in life in order to avoid an imaginary negative consequence in the future. THERE IS NO "FUTURE" IN REALITY. The time to live is NOW. Heaven is right here, inside of all of us, right NOW. And if we are present and conscious enough, we can bring that heaven out of ourselves and into the world, just as Jesus taught.
what a beautiful enlightened master!
I need this stillness . . .
We need to embrace the nature of our true origins as multidimensional beings that exist in a vibrant sea of living consciousness.
Phil: I agree with you, I sometimes choose to vent ... and that's OK too ... I'm fine and am having an entertaining and interesting sunday morning - thanks :)
Hi vipsamsam -- I agree with what you said, "He (Tolle) is using Hypnotic Techniques..." I actually did hypnosis years ago to deal with a specific issue in my life...and what you have said definitely rings true with me. Peace2U, Kim
A quiet mind - complete awareness.
Your Biography is a skill we have learnt, the way we react and go about to find solutions
I've stopped thinking and focused more on breathing and NOT ONLY THAT, I found calmness. i'm still alive and breathing. You just THINK you cant stop thinking. sorry to say this but its all in your HEAD. you believe what you THINK is true, not what really IS true. peace!! :)
I shifted to Object Oriented Programming in C# ("Bhagavad Gita") and got something significant, and not a garbage value. Amen!
Yes!!! Yes!! Thank you💚🌌
I think that this adds something to the wisdom Eckhart speaks: "Don't think. FEEL. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!" - Bruce Lee
silent space of stillness...wow, how enlightening
My favorite aspect of Tolle (and Landmark Education, as Juno writes): empasisis on "being" in the present: "...a lot of people think or believe or know they are being--but that's thinking or believing or knowing, not being...almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to be. why? because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you are being a lot of other people; but the moment you are being, you're nobody-but-yourself."-e.e. cummings
I agree Osho can seriously hit the target. I just finished "Walk without Feet, Fly without Wings, Think without Mind" and it was another great journey (conversation) with Bhagwan. Path of Paradox 1 is a fantastic primer also.
Eckhart seems to be channeling.. Is he? of course, he often says the words come from another source.. there is such a calm that comes over me with his voice. What is that?
Juno: "Your own videos prove you are a bore with radical cult ideals." This is a good illustration of just how broad Juno's definition of "cult" and "radical ideals" really is, seeing as most of my videos have to do with business planning, e-commerce, social entrepreneurship, and economic development. Radical indeed...for someone who hasn't quite caught up to the 21st century. I'm glad that Juno has at least caught up with the "radical cult" of people who use the internet.
We have a lot of the same interests. Saves the day, Liquid tension experiment (not Dream theatre), hypnosis, that's awesome. Best to you, my friend.
I love this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.
Transcendental meditation is the way to get to the stillness Tolle is talking about.
While the Buddha lived 500 years before Christ, what I find valuable is the similarity in their emphasis on knowing the truth of peace within, and practicing peace towards all. Living Buddha, Living Christ is a wonderful book & utube video on this.
Most parents care whether their child's teacher is credible; doesn't have an web degree, only.
As for finding truth goes; the state of human affairs and ecology are there for all to see. Do we know the truth when it knocks on the door?
