Yesterday, after being full of thought, I suddenly kind of gave up and went aware of the present moment. It was a big shift, such a miracle. Then, the following days were full of peace, joy and love to everything I paid attention to. There was no future, no fear. I awake. Unfortunately, today I have been trapped into thought and ego. But I feel different now. Now im somehow more aware than before. I feel something big that wants to come trough me. Eckhart's videos and forum really helps. Sending love to everyone who is in this path.
are we aware of what, how we feel in this moment that's here now..? I can pray to be aware of what, how I'm feeling in this moment, pray for this moment to let go of tense, anxious thoughts.. prayer in the moment can outshine worry.. 🙏💜🕯💧🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊
I am 74 years old, and I just commented to my son that it takes so long to not have racing, egoic thoughts. This video helped. In eckhart's book, he says when these thoughts arise, just recognize it as the ego and smile. That helps a lot.
72-78 is such a special time, Soothsayer -- especially 75 when you're in your double heart chakra life cycle. So naturally loving and peaceful and it only happens twice in a lifetime -- once at 25 and again at 75. Enjoy!
@@chakraboosters thank you! I used to do reiki and I learned some about the chakras. Where did you learn about the double heart chakra? Best wishes and enjoy this time of life! Peace and love.
Faults that's only one small aspect you have to do some true healing of the Mind work which Eckhart totally knows nothing about being in the present moment doesn't do you any good you need mental honesty beyond what he knows about the big problem is all you new agers think you're the avant-garde and you are nothing you're not even beginning to be honest let alone heal your own minds you ignore the people who have already ascended because you think they're going to walk up to you tossing lilies on the ground in bare feet and white robes your ignorance is very evident and while you try to give counsel to other people that you think need to hear your advice you ignore the advice of the ascended humans on this planet completely
I don’t know if this helps anyone else but I stumbled upon something that brings presence no matter what for a few seconds at a time --which do add up! Throughout the day as I begin to feel negative emotions arise I focus on “feeling” the sensation of life in my body. There’s a slight tingle that is always there - it’s a matter of noticing it. At least for me but so many meditation practices also elude to it. I’ve also found it helpful when I am in physical pain and also when feeling panic. It’s subtle but very much life changing.
Thank you for bringing this back into my awareness I to started to practice this but have forgotten about it and yes it does come with meditation practice in order to really feel to heal 💕
Yeah, ET calls it the inner body awareness. It helps me when I can't sleep. Also don't judge your emotions as "negative". Even pain is just a message you have to consider.
I've been on the path for about 2 years now and thought i was going nowhere but then when i look at others and their daily rush and anxiety in life i realise i have let go a lot. Never dismiss your efforts as the results are just elusive.
Agreed. I find that my “inner critic” loves to create impatience and comparison! She’s Brutal! I’ll send her some love and immediately my thoughts are of peace and contentment. Best wishes to everyone- blessings abound!!
I had that shift yesterday!! :D . I was going into a negative thought spin.. but i was aware of it and started to look at my thoughts as the observer, without judgement. I made a huge shift, because i could let love in again and my negative thoughts were over ! :D
Awakening is the ultimate “specialness.” A “guru” once advised that the aim is not to obliterate the ego but rather allow the transformation into cosmic ego. Ego is resistance, transformation is surrender/accepting-what-is.
The last few days I've been remembering this image of a resistor wired to a short circuit (I'm an Electronics engineer lol) and a text alongside that says "Resistance is futile". As Eckhart says, resistance to the is-ness of the present moment is of no avail. Instead of offering resistance to the Now it should be better to be friends with it. It is very difficult to achieve, but there is some progress in me realizing it. The structures of the ego are so hard to dismantle...
This is a question that my ego asks every once in a while too.. it is a judgement and it is a harsh one. But because I obsessively listen to spiritual teachers (ET, Mooji, Byron Katie).. I have heard others ask the same question and seen that others have been on this journey for years and years as well. I absolutely love Eckhart's answer to this woman. And I loveeee that he laughed first!! He always laughs at the ego lolol... i have learned to laugh at mine as well (when im aware of it of course) but I am so thankful for Echkart and these spiritual teachers that we have the privilege to have access to! What a great time to be alive!! Blessings to you all and as Mooji says, THIS LIFE IS FOR FREEDOM!!!😄😁😆🧡🧡💛we are all getting free!! Yesssss😘😘😘
I think awakening when surrounded by egotistical people is a constant process of re establishing oneself in the present moment. I don't fool myself that I will ever be as grounded as Eckhart but he's a rock to come back to for catharsis
It's not about being "surrounded by egotistical people". As long as you blame others your ego thrives. It's about overcoming the false self from within. In fact "other people" who are unconscious can even propel you out of your own egoic state because the more obnoxious egoic behavior becomes the easier it is to distance yourself from it in many cases.
I hope Eckhart reads the comments although I doubt he does. I would like him to know that we are grateful for his guidance. I am a beginner, but I find these talks helpful. I am attempting to separate from anxiety.
I think he sometimes surfs commentary, but I'm guessing random, with travel & talks & meetings I bet he really likes down time to not think of anything just listen to birds wind in trees.. I could see him content in a cabin by a stream but he wants the message to reach as many open people as he's able to before he "retires" from the stage, he makes excellent use of computer & youtube for us & when I sometimes look up read things in his books, I can hear his voice in the words. 🙏💜🕯💧🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊
The biggest thing for me is that awakening is more about perspective. Your awareness becomes accustomed to lying in that space of presence and your awakening accelerates through a genuine desire to go deeper into that awareness itself. Sooner or later, you will make that space a natural place to go to. -Much love from a growing UA-camr
Desire implies lack and wanting something. The more you want to get awakened the less awakened you are as you want what you don't have usually. Drop the desire and appreciate what you already have. Be grateful. Do not think about the future aka "sooner or later" - practice presence now.
"Be patient. Do not let your emotions drive you here and drive you there, for the workings of the heart are beyond the emotions that you feel day to day and moment to moment. They represent the great undercurrent. Like the great undercurrents that move the waters of the oceans of this world, they move the direction of your life. Yet like the great undercurrents of the oceans, they are not seen or recognized from the surface. If you live at the surface of your mind, you will be swayed by this thought and that thought and the thoughts of others. You will be governed by the mental environment in which you live." A quote from *Living The Way of Knowledge* - Chapter 3: The Pillar of Relationships, by Marshall Vian Summers.
Great Quote..those E-motions..Energy in motion drive everything from our physical hormones to our deep desires and learning how to do Heart-Brain Coherence allows the development of spiritual coherence for when we feel gratitude it's because we've received and the universe gives everything so elevating the heart to high focused gratitude and appreciation allows us to match the frequency of the GIVER..which is the universe and that is where the magic begins...
We can only be ready and open to receive but we cannot initiate it. We are so used to being in control with a noisy mind and ego, that making this shift may not come easy. It can all take time. Tks for the videos and teaching! We need them.
I would advise not to assume it takes a whole lifetime. It takes now. And staying with the energy you sense within. It really is about caring enough where your focus goes and how you experience this moment. The more longer you focus within on the energy, each time a thought arises taking attention back to the energy, it reveals a whole different reality, I would say. It's absolutely astonishing. Heaven on earth.
Indeed, as you and Eckhart said, be present with awareness. However, there is a process that requires spiritual homework, and that is the essence of know thyself. For example, some are attached to image, and so reject truth. In such cases, the present moment cannot assist such a one unless and until they participate earnestly in their spiritual homework, or spiritual practice.
many years ago after my awakening started there was the subsequent demise of the ego but the seeking energy would still rear its head which is all a part of the universal intelligence at play. I got in touch with a lady who I knew was fully awake, towards the end of the session she said ' and it may never happen' (meaning self realisation). we ended the session and I was totally devastated then within seconds I felt liberated. I saw the ego was still holding on to the idea that I would get something which of course you don't and in recognising this liberation arose and the seeking energy just fell away . the frustration people experience is that the seeking energy has to collapse, which arises from a genuine surrender you can't make it happen and resignation is just the ego feeling despondent an illusionary letting go. then the inner journey begins where the programming, conditioning and socialising structures start to dismantle either all at once (which is rare) or over time leaving you with the heart you were born with....your true nature.
So true! Thanks for sharing. I just watched Aaron Abke’s video on going through the seeking stage, etc. You’re so right the seeking energy does need to collapse.
It’s very helpful that he said the awareness of my anxiousness means I have the ability to feel it and move it out of my body and mind. It’s not anxiety unless you are unaware.
Thank you, Eckhart. It's really so simple when we take responsibility and we stop waiting for"something" to happen and make us realised or enlightened.
There is so much more to this life and experience than any of us can possibly know or comprehend, we should try our best not to fill in the gaps with our own or other people's imaginary stories and simply Accept what is Trust what will be And be so very grateful for everything.
Hello dear friends! You *are* awake. You couldn't ask that question if you weren't conscious. We're doing an awesome job actually! Look at how far we've come! You're there. It's now. Not something to strive for - we're on the ride. It's a moment by moment thing. Now enjoy the journey.
Its funny how its a new trend to advertise your so called 'spiritual youtube' channel on the channels of more popular teachers. If you are meant to be a spiritual teacher you dont have to advertise or MAKE it happen, the universe will make it happen for you.
@@isaaccardin what are you on about? Who said anything about being a teacher 😄. There’s a big difference between being a teacher and sharing your journey. And of course, marketing is marketing. To deny its existence is just plain dumb.
'That's enough' at the end of the video made me laugh. I know he meant that being present is all you need - he just sounded like a fed up parent hahaha x
Listening to Eckhart is great for learning to reduce suffering. But also listen to others that have instructions on a more direct path to Awakening using Inquiry, pointers, and glimpses.
Mooji and Byron Katie have been absolutely necessary for me, along with ET. Each of them are different but ultimately saying the same thing. I couldn't do it without these 3 teachers. Be blessed guys!
This helped me feel less impatient with myself 😉💗 When he puts it into context of the thousands of years of complete unawareness….Thank you, my dear and kind Eckhart!
Brilliantly phrased & so true- when we create that inner peaceful - restful space of ‘ Sensorial consciousness , the thoughts = the ego noises vanish into a gentle ‘ mist ‘ and with practice it becomes silent-.the way it works for me is indeed as going back to the sensation of the body like breathing& movement + massive immersion into nature -
Just being able to be conscious when having anxious thoughts about something is a blessing. Thank you so much for your great teaching Eckhart. Even though i'm not completely awake, every moment of silence i get is amazing.
This is comforting. I know I slip back into thought when I wonder if humanity will catch up before we destroy the playing field. I have to give over to something greater than myself.
Tami and Ekart, you’re such beautiful people. We have lost so many lights in the last couple of months including Thich, Betty, Bob, Sidney. Please stay here a long time. Keep passing love for all beings like they did. 😞💔🙏🧘🏿♀️💚
I first came across Eckhart Tolle 24 years ago. Now I´m 58 and I believe I´m finally beginning to grasp "Internally" what the present moment is about. Why it took this long, I have no idea. But, I believe the moment is finally here and I´m just glad things came through for me spiritually. I´ve been practicing separation from throught / and the train of emotions for a while now, and gradually my life has become more peaceful. That doesn´t mean problems just go away, or the train of though stops all of a sudden. It´s still there, I only manage feelings and things that happen around me differently and my life is more peaceful and happier.
"We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.” - Terence McKenna 🍄
Willpower is just a word. The universe will do what the universe does. Darryl Bailey. But I believe the world can and will improve if the majority of humans do wake up. Meanwhile, que será será. Lol.
🌈love that too, yeah I say the same smtms, and I feel I might begin not saying I have "problems" I will say , wow arent I groovy for noticing where I Am Now, and let that be my trampoline😆🌻
I discovered Eckhart when I was 20. I am now 26. In this time period, I have fluctuated wildly between consciousness and unconsciousness. I am one of those with a very strong pain body, which makes me "lucky" because my motivation is stronger lol but still I have been surprised by how long it's been taking. I realized recently just how identified I've been with form my whole life. It's not something that goes away over night. I might be 40 before I become enlightened I might be 80, but what matters is that I am present now 🙏
Beautiful answer! At the moment I am also recovering from a chronic condition (or trying), and I tend to want to rush it, because life is so short. However this reminded me that the secret is to do it slowly because good and lasting "things" do take a long time to make, and so does health...
FEEL TO HEAL🙏🏼 I am in the fullness of complete total consciousness 🙏🏼 I prayed and prayed for years and did so much inner work to be where I am at today. It’s totally doable, not easy but doable. Cheering everyone that is walking in this journey it can get pretty lonely but keep feeling what you don’t want to feel without judgement🙏🏼 I congratulate you for all the inner work you’re doing on your way to consciousness. Praying for you🙏🏼
Thanks Eckhart and thanks to this woman. Yes I’m like her, watching myself having thoughts, re-focus on breathing… a moment of peace, and thoughts start again. It’s a never ending process but at list I watch it. Thanks again Eckhart. This is precious.
*_I think it is important to realize that nobody can tell you your path, only you know the right choice for yourself. Enlightenment takes place in many different forms and it isn't always leading to enlightenment in one life. So don't worry if it's taking too long! Let's all work together to help other people find their paths!_*
I remember have asked this question in the same context, months ago, and the response arrived through other question. Gratitud. I asked also, " What I have to do to ensure the complete awakening in this lifetime?" You respond to that as well. Stay present as much as you can! Thank you Eckhart!
I have been falling for this little trap lately. Asking how long its going to take is like an itch trying to scratch itself. The question itself is the ego trying to perpetuate itself.
I am grateful to be reminded of the context in Eckhart's answer. It will feel like a miracle to have reached that goal in this lifetime, but I think, with vigilance, it will be like accruing money in the bank.
Chris, once you are in a relaxed state, and are aware, then aware that you are aware; let go. Become that which is Aware. No seeking, grasping, or reaching. Also, occasionally ask, “who am I?"
Awakening is not a goal. Making something into a goal is postponing it. Awake now not later, one day, or "by 2050". It's a shift of perspective, nothing you can accomplish.
My boyfriends who is so strong ,he is not realizing that ,he is not young anymore and it's so strong when he explains things it's so realistic . I think he has cancer and was indicted by aliens when he was a child . I have a hard time calming him to realize that I love him and all our faults are coming to such a great realization . Thank you for your insight ,I hope to have a conversation with an intelligent being who can shed more light on this process ,cause it's such a journey it's hard to focus on the important tasks as authority's have been so unfair and profiled me for yes.
Absolutely beautiful as usual and I know when I’m in this state and more n more I’m bringing it into situations in my day not even talking about it just allowing the awareness to seep over me... bliss and bless you for making it so simple n clear ❤️🙏
Improvement is gradual and sometimes it is hard to see that improvement because it is so gradual. But when I look back over the last two years since I read the Power of Now, my Spiritual Awakening and my mental state and how I interact with the world has indeed improved quite a bit. The Power of Now is real and my mental state is much better because of it.
I’ve never asked myself this question. To me, the fact that it is a learning curve seems quite obvious. I lapse in and out of being aware. It takes practice. I still consider myself awake (otherwise I wouldn’t be aware of any other existence)!

Impatience is surely a formidable opponent towards awakening
And because it’s challenging it can also be a friend who brings you closer to awakening ;)
The illusion of control
Impatience only means your ego still wants to seek, achieve and get something. Drop that desire and you will paradoxically be closer to awakening.
I think awakening when surrounded by egotistical people is a constant process of re establishing oneself in the present moment. I don't fool myself that I will ever be as grounded as Eckhart but he's a rock to come back to for catharsis
Keep practicing and eventually it'll be as automatic as please and thank you.

It's not about being "surrounded by egotistical people". As long as you blame others your ego thrives. It's about overcoming the false self from within.

“Thought gobbles up your consciousness.”
Brilliant! That really hit me!
“Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment. That’s enough.” Got it!!
Allow the sun of awareness to outshine thoughts
🙏
"Don't ask useless questions" LOL! Fully agreed, waking up and growing in consciousness is truly a miracle and I am grateful for it.
Eckhart is one of the few people on this earth that I rate
We are awakening but for some it's hard but we have got this far and WONT give up now
💪❤🙏
It's just the way it IS
Thank you for asking that question. It's something that I ask myself all the time. Your question itself gave me as much relief as Eckhart's answer!
We can only be ready and open to receive but we cannot initiate it. We are so used to being in control with a noisy mind and ego, that making this shift may not come easy. It can all take time. Tks for the videos and teaching! We need them.
I would advise not to assume it takes a whole lifetime. It takes now. And staying with the energy you sense within. It really is about caring enough where your focus goes and how you experience this moment. The more longer you focus within on the energy, each time a thought arises taking attention back to the energy, it reveals a whole different reality, I would say. It's absolutely astonishing. Heaven on earth.

For example, some are attached to image, and so reject truth. In such cases, the present moment cannot assist such a one unless and until they participate earnestly in their spiritual homework, or spiritual practice.

It’s very helpful that he said the awareness of my anxiousness means I have the ability to feel it and move it out of my body and mind. It’s not anxiety unless you are unaware.
Thank you, Eckhart. It's really so simple when we take responsibility and we stop waiting for"something" to happen and make us realised or enlightened.
There is so much more to this life and experience than any of us can possibly know or comprehend, we should try our best not to fill in the gaps with our own or other people's imaginary stories and simply
Accept what is
Trust what will be
And be so very grateful for everything.
"Take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment. That's enough." 🙏🏻💗
So simple... yet so hard
@@jwelsh939 well, it's a process.. for most of us... you are not alone in this, bro. Lot's of love from Poland. ❤ I'm sure you'll succeed.
Hello dear friends! You *are* awake. You couldn't ask that question if you weren't conscious. We're doing an awesome job actually! Look at how far we've come! You're there. It's now. Not something to strive for - we're on the ride. It's a moment by moment thing. Now enjoy the journey.
8:48 Do more people feel this? Eckhart's hands calmed me at this point. My nervous energy dropped in an instant.
Your longing for it is exactly what’s holding you back.
Much love from a spiritual UA-camr 🤍
Its funny how its a new trend to advertise your so called 'spiritual youtube' channel on the channels of more popular teachers. If you are meant to be a spiritual teacher you dont have to advertise or MAKE it happen, the universe will make it happen for you.
@@isaaccardin what are you on about? Who said anything about being a teacher 😄. There’s a big difference between being a teacher and sharing your journey. And of course, marketing is marketing. To deny its existence is just plain dumb.
Mr. Tolle, thank you for your great insight! Your "Power of Now" is briliant!
'That's enough' at the end of the video made me laugh. I know he meant that being present is all you need - he just sounded like a fed up parent hahaha x
Listening to Eckhart is great for learning to reduce suffering. But also listen to others that have instructions on a more direct path to Awakening using Inquiry, pointers, and glimpses.
Can you share who some of these others would be? I’ve been searching. Thank you
Mooji and Byron Katie have been absolutely necessary for me, along with ET. Each of them are different but ultimately saying the same thing. I couldn't do it without these 3 teachers. Be blessed guys!
The most sweet kindest compassionate... awaken.. Eckhart 🌷🌷🌷🌷...thank you so much
Thankful n grateful for Eckhart for sharing his knowledge
This helped me feel less impatient with myself 😉💗 When he puts it into context of the thousands of years of complete unawareness….Thank you, my dear and kind Eckhart!
Appreciating the wisdom of Eckhart's students. Thank you . We are in a good time tn our lifetime
He just speaks my mind. Thanks for your help.
Again “Here and now” be yourself truly. Thankyou Mr E❄️❤️🙏👌
Brilliantly phrased & so true- when we create that inner peaceful - restful space of ‘ Sensorial consciousness , the thoughts = the ego noises vanish into a gentle ‘ mist ‘ and with practice it becomes silent-.the way it works for me is indeed as going back to the sensation of the body like breathing& movement + massive immersion into nature -
Perfect. No need for further explanation.
First time in a long time Eckhart seemed more like a teacher than a babysitter.
Just being able to be conscious when having anxious thoughts about something is a blessing. Thank you so much for your great teaching Eckhart. Even though i'm not completely awake, every moment of silence i get is amazing.
Thank you , Eckhart for all your teachings.❤️🙏❤️Love and Light to all ❤️🙏❤️
This is comforting. I know I slip back into thought when I wonder if humanity will catch up before we destroy the playing field. I have to give over to something greater than myself.
Thank you Eckhart. Much love for you!
Excellent answer!
Take responsibility for the Now! That's enough....
Thank you Eckhart for your wisdom and kindness, showing in so many ways how awakening expresses it self, thank you ☺
My awakening comes and goes. Drinking makes it 10times worse and almost forget the whole thing happened. Dont drink! Re - awaken and never let it go
Thanks!
Thank you for your support.
I believe we've passed the tipping point. There are more people now that want peace than ever before
Beautiful though and clear! Thanks Tolle for the caring and loving way to share love to us.
Tami and Ekart, you’re such beautiful people.
We have lost so many lights
in the last couple of months including
Thich, Betty, Bob, Sidney.
Please stay here a long time.
Keep passing love for all beings like they did.
😞💔🙏🧘🏿♀️💚
So much love, respect and admiration for you Mr Tolle. You are a beacon of light
Your gift to me has been immense.Thanks again
I first came across Eckhart Tolle 24 years ago. Now I´m 58 and I believe I´m finally beginning to grasp "Internally" what the present moment is about. Why it took this long, I have no idea. But, I believe the moment is finally here and I´m just glad things came through for me spiritually. I´ve been practicing separation from throught / and the train of emotions for a while now, and gradually my life has become more peaceful. That doesn´t mean problems just go away, or the train of though stops all of a sudden. It´s still there, I only manage feelings and things that happen around me differently and my life is more peaceful and happier.
"We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.” - Terence McKenna 🍄
Reprogramming the mind Terence is hard work I find it anyway
Willpower is just a word. The universe will do what the universe does. Darryl Bailey.
But I believe the world can and will improve if the majority of humans do wake up. Meanwhile, que será será. Lol.
I have this reincarnating thought problem; I am aware enough to see it and that is better than before.
🌈love that too, yeah I say the same smtms, and I feel I might begin not saying I have "problems" I will say , wow arent I groovy for noticing where I Am Now, and let that be my trampoline😆🌻
I discovered Eckhart when I was 20. I am now 26. In this time period, I have fluctuated wildly between consciousness and unconsciousness. I am one of those with a very strong pain body, which makes me "lucky" because my motivation is stronger lol but still I have been surprised by how long it's been taking. I realized recently just how identified I've been with form my whole life. It's not something that goes away over night. I might be 40 before I become enlightened I might be 80, but what matters is that I am present now 🙏
Simply Beautiful !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This channel gives me what I need, when I need it. Amazing!
Beautiful answer!
At the moment I am also recovering from a chronic condition (or trying), and I tend to want to rush it, because life is so short. However this reminded me that the secret is to do it slowly because good and lasting "things" do take a long time to make, and so does health...
@Eckhart Tolle▫️ Clever scamming!!
FEEL TO HEAL🙏🏼 I am in the fullness of complete total consciousness 🙏🏼 I prayed and prayed for years and did so much inner work to be where I am at today. It’s totally doable, not easy but doable. Cheering everyone that is walking in this journey it can get pretty lonely but keep feeling what you don’t want to feel without judgement🙏🏼 I congratulate you for all the inner work you’re doing on your way to consciousness. Praying for you🙏🏼
I love you Eckhart
"...take responsibility for your state of consciousness in the present moment..." That's it, that's all
Thanks Eckhart and thanks to this woman. Yes I’m like her, watching myself having thoughts, re-focus on breathing… a moment of peace, and thoughts start again. It’s a never ending process but at list I watch it. Thanks again Eckhart. This is precious.
I love this video so much! Thank you!
Yet another powerful drop of understanding ripples through us.
Loved the gobbled up by thought actions !!....I love Eckhart my start of the day has changed ...man hugs ET :)
much love to all of you! You are doing great
*_I think it is important to realize that nobody can tell you your path, only you know the right choice for yourself. Enlightenment takes place in many different forms and it isn't always leading to enlightenment in one life. So don't worry if it's taking too long! Let's all work together to help other people find their paths!_*
I remember have asked this question in the same context, months ago, and the response arrived through other question. Gratitud. I asked also, " What I have to do to ensure the complete awakening in this lifetime?" You respond to that as well. Stay present as much as you can!
Thank you Eckhart!
I love his laugh! 🖤
I have been falling for this little trap lately. Asking how long its going to take is like an itch trying to scratch itself. The question itself is the ego trying to perpetuate itself.
Thank you so much Eckhart, Namaste, 🙏
I am grateful to be reminded of the context in Eckhart's answer. It will feel like a miracle to have reached that goal in this lifetime, but I think, with vigilance, it will be like accruing money in the bank.
Chris, once you are in a relaxed state, and are aware, then aware that you are aware; let go. Become that which is Aware. No seeking, grasping, or reaching. Also, occasionally ask, “who am I?"
Awakening is not a goal. Making something into a goal is postponing it. Awake now not later, one day, or "by 2050". It's a shift of perspective, nothing you can accomplish.
My boyfriends who is so strong ,he is not realizing that ,he is not young anymore and it's so strong when he explains things it's so realistic . I think he has cancer and was indicted by aliens when he was a child . I have a hard time calming him to realize that I love him and all our faults are coming to such a great realization . Thank you for your insight ,I hope to have a conversation with an intelligent being who can shed more light on this process ,cause it's such a journey it's hard to focus on the important tasks as authority's have been so unfair and profiled me for yes.
Absolutely beautiful as usual and I know when I’m in this state and more n more I’m bringing it into situations in my day not even talking about it just allowing the awareness to seep over me... bliss and bless you for making it so simple n clear ❤️🙏
Yes, it's can i ALLOW thinking to subside considering thought has become 'me'. Most beautiful man on the planet....
How can I ever thank you enough
His voice tone is soothing.
Thank you, my dear Eckhart.....!!!!
Oh I needed to see and hear this!! Thank you!!!!
Improvement is gradual and sometimes it is hard to see that improvement because it is so gradual. But when I look back over the last two years since I read the Power of Now, my Spiritual Awakening and my mental state and how I interact with the world has indeed improved quite a bit. The Power of Now is real and my mental state is much better because of it.
Best therapy ever! Thanks Eckhart
I’ve never asked myself this question. To me, the fact that it is a learning curve seems quite obvious. I lapse in and out of being aware. It takes practice. I still consider myself awake (otherwise I wouldn’t be aware of any other existence)!
Thank you, Eckhart. The goal is the way.
"Son of awareness" - quote of the day for me today :)
Exactly what I needed to hear right now! Bring the present moment to escape the grip of anxious. Thank you for your great teaching, Eckhart 🙏❤️
