I have been alone for 25 years, after my husband passed on. After raising kids on farm/horse stables, I found it (although I miss him, wish he was here) glorious. Peaceful. Contentment. I even moved 2000 miles away to sunshine & mountains, where I knew nobody. 🧘♀️ I had large brain tumor. It blocked my thinking, so I was just doing, being. Awareness was beyond words. The Light. Love silence & nature. Loved the sound of my family's happiness, but this happened at the right time. Hallelujah 🙌 ironically, they all followed me 🤣 long story!, my son being single dad, I had to step up (for the deepest love on earth) to doing "that" again. Bc of economy & best decisions for her, now we live together again. The universe ✨️ 💖 works in mysterious ways. Feel like I'm back on the farm 😂 granddaughter almost done w/college; my daughter can't wait to retire & downsize 🤭 We shall see. Right now, I'm grateful for love around me & well... everything 💞 yes, long story. The bottom line is I love being alone. Loneliness is a state of mind. Alone is a state of being. 🐦🌳🦋
Sounds wonderful 🧡 So many people are searching for happiness but what they really want (and they don't know it) is peace of mind. Happiness is just an temporary emotion, like anger and sadness. I think you found that peace in yourself. What a great state to be in! Hope you enjoy it for many more days to come 😊💖🦚 I love and treasure my solitude as well. And I love people too, I love seeing them smile, being grateful and content, like you! 😻
Oh what a wonderful post!! I am inspired by you. Eckhart changed, is changing my life with his teachings. I’m a bit of a slow learner…but what is time, right? lol. I am going to save your post. Have you thought of writing your story? ❤
One day I was just sitting in my car waiting for my partner to join me and I noticed something in me. There was, what I called, a low grade boredom, unhappiness, uneasiness, etc humming in the background. More like grumbling if it had a sound like you would if you were unwell. It felt akin to a low grade fever barely noticeable. I spontaneously became very present and knew that if I didn’t have this awareness, I would’ve acted on the unease by looking at my phone or thinking I needed to do something. Later I read the Power of Now and Eckhart called it Ordinary Unconscious and that it was a low level unease, unhappiness, etc. I was like WOW he really knows what he’s talking about 😂
I was sitting in the backyard with my Son a couple days ago it was so quiet and beautiful We just sat there and listened to the little songbirds We only had a little conversation then just sat quietly ❤ peaceful !!! We're making progress 😊
If we can deeply concentrate on anything (I mean absolutely anything, from the nature of thoughts to the noise of a leaf blower, a truck, or the quality of the greens in a meadow), then we can eventually notice something way beyond our ordinary perception. Something beyond description and beyond the very mental content. It takes some practice, because it's the subtlest thing in existence. But as we learn to recognize it, we become subtle ourselves, so this subtle "no-thing" suddenly reveals obvious and undeniably real. After a deep realization of that process, we come to the conclusion that boredom has never been a waste of time, on the contrary, the actual waste of time is to try and fill these "boring" moments with futile things.
Wow ! ! ! I read your comments several times, thank you for inspiring me; specifically when you said boredom is never been waste of time, the actually waste of time is trying to fill the boring moment with futile things
This is a challenging video, but it is important. Not only do I feel a compulsion to watch UA-cam videos, I also "multitask" by playing a game or browsing the internet while the video plays in the background. I'm going to try just sitting by myself while I absorb what's around me. I know it will be a challenge, but the more I do it, the more centered I'll become.
@@alandry6872 I tried it for a few days and forgot about it. However, there are certain activities (like gardening) that demand my attention, so they do become somewhat of a meditation. I find that when I engage in these activities, I like to take my time with them so that I become more present in what I'm doing. For example, if I'm planning out my garden, I might just go out to the backyard and just sit there while ideas come to me. I just clear my mind and become one with the space, and then I know what to do.
So many people is turning on the internet,to, for not to feel alone,🥹in place to go in the nature,to enjoy the sunshine,enjoy your self 😂enjoy the present 👍💫❤️🌈🌹Thank you Eckhart Tolle !
💥 When I have nothing to do, I binge on Eckhart Tolle videos. It's some weird practice, because binging 12 hours of spiritual teaching from many masters may be strange, but with UA-cam, we have it. 🎉❤❤❤
8:44 The ability to be rooted in the present moment in yourself without needing any mental or external stimuli to make you feel complete or alive. Sit quietly and at ease in the room. It requires you to be quiet inside. You go through boredom to get to being. All the sudden you enjoy being. You can’t stand yourself. So you keep running into this or that. You use others to make you feel better. But you can’t stand them either. Because you aren’t connected with being. Come home to yourself. Then you can enjoy your own company. Otherwise nothing will satisfy you. You take dissatisfaction with you everywhere. Thanks Eckhart. 20 March 2024. 🌝🛍🍉⚓️💰🍑🌵🚀💫🐿🍺
I was in a space where I couldn't stand myself I literally needed ppl to hold my hand through life 😅 my own mind was to toxic Nowadays I love sitting with myself I do most things by myself and I can only be around others for a longer period of time who go deep and are comfortable with quietness 😌
I absolutely LOVE when I have nothing to do and in such a busy life, if I can be for only 5min alone in silence it is already sheer bliss. Silence brings me so much joy I cannot put into words, even if many of the moments I spend alone with my thoughts are very painful and challenging.
It's impossible to listen intently and think at the same time, if you have a ticking clock, just listen to and concentrate on each tick and the mind will automatically go silent, once thoughts creep in again, as they will, just find the ticking again and repeat 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was doing that without knowing it shuts off thinking, thanks for putting it into a sentence. Same with birds chirping outside, you can break away from the noise in your head
But when I'm well, I'm inspired continuously. Being absorbed in a book, a movie , listening to music, dancing, writing a poem, knitting baby socks, cooking a curry, anything at all. I don't even notice if I 'm alone in the room or not. It's like being in Paradise, really, because if anybody is there, I do enjoy explaining or showing others what I'm doing, if they 're interested.
same me too sometimes i can get through this feeling my inner body i cant feel it completely yet just some parts of legs and hands it helps you there is boredom and there is that feeling of aliveness in your inner body notice boredom and put your attention on your inner body this works for me some times but some other times is much harder depends wish you peace and and an abundant life
Same here! My wife make fun of me for not being able to be bored. haha. I think that is why I came here. Getting some tips on how to be bored. I will implement what he is saying the next time I am not doing anything.
Just bear that pain bro just sit there and do nothing, dont try to meditate or anything that is a way to distract yourself from just being with what is. The longer you distract yourself the longer youre in this terrible situation. Bearing the pain is the only way.
Eckhart thank you for the power of now it changed my life years ago! I never experience boredom, life has way too much to do to ever get bored. It is a mind that is unruly that can experience boredom. Once you know that you are not your mind and are the watcher of it how could life be boring? Just monitoring your inner dialogue should keep you interested! 😀👍
Thank you Eckhart reminding us. Sitting down in a comfortable chair, closing your eyes, feeling your respiration and let your mind leave the body and travel in the infinite universe and just flow. 🌼🌺🌸
Profound. "You can't stand yourself. So you use others to feel better. And after a while you can't even stand them! You take that dissatisfaction everywhere you go." (So learn to be with yoruself without distractions or addictions, and you can take satisfaction everywhere you go.) Thank you Eckart.
I needed this.😊 when i arrive home from work, my mind has not turned off from my day at work, etc. I tell myself, watch Jeopardy, or look at my phone, your mind needs some form of mental stimulus .
I like the way he gets a kick out of himself. It's like "did you see that? I just made a funny! he he!" I get what he's saying though. most of us do need to like who who we are more.
my biggest obstacle to sitting quiet is the incessant songs that repeat in my head non stop unless I listen to something else. I can sit quietly and listen to you but if it just silent then the songs take over.
It's called self talk. I observe my self talk and ask myself how it makes me feel. Then usually an old memory comes up (often unpleasant) and I allow it too. Then it depends on how severe the emotion is if I can let it go or if I choose a meditation to support me reflecting what is real and what is a mind game. Just thought I'd share
If you knew the role Mahaprabhu Eckhart Tolle (Hermes Trimestigus in a 4th Incarnation) played in my journey and the world it will shock you... Anything is possible to God Gods biggest miracle ever On earth Miren Vadera (previously Shree Krishna, Jesus Christ and Angel Gabriel) Starring in the greatest true story ever told.... It could get better when somebody with intelligence goes to my channel and sees genuine miracles and guidances surpassing even this.
Amazing I just looked Blaise Pascal famous quote and it mentioned the one about the inability to stay alone in a room ,Thanks Universe for this synchronicity ❤
So perfect. This restlessness with no name is boredom. My mind gets it now😊 I've now have something to help to acknowledge another layer of insanity...or mind trap. Thank you🎉❤
A dear friend told me about the time he spent in a mental hospital. He recalled having a breakthrough when he glanced at the shelves in the recreation room filled with games and puzzles. There was the game "mind trap". The absurdity of it there in that setting cracked him up.
So true 🙏. Unfortunately 😂I'm stuck in a constant doing and I dream🤣 about the boring moments✨ but in any case the key is precisely that : " DON'T RUN AWAY". ❤ Don't run away from everything both the doing and the not doing. Including boredom. SO grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨✨🌺
@yusuf90s I guess it just comes natural to me. I've always been very independent. If I feel lonely, I go for a nice long walk. Or find things to keep me occupied.
I think indigenous peoples over the world had less problems with boredom - often even in old footage or movies they are or are depicted as being much more still and comfortable with ‘being’ 🙏
Good Day Mr. Tolle - I have been practicing this stillness in which you speak of. At times of my practice I find it so peaceful and profound in discovering myself and who I am. It is still a "work in progress", practice but I truly understand what you speak of. Thank you for all your teachings. Blessings Mr. Tolle. Take care. 🌞☕🙏🏼♾️🕯️☯️🙂
When I became aware that everything and everyone has something to say, even "non living" things, life became fascinating in all its forms...boredom is impossible...
8:14 In solitude's embrace, where quiet moments dwell, Eckhart Tolle's wisdom, like a gentle bell, Invites us to surrender, to the stillness deep within, To cease our frantic fleeing, from boredom's transient din. For in the silence lies a treasure, waiting to be found, A sanctuary of peace, where true content is crowned, Stop running from the boredom, let it wash over you, Embrace the gift of stillness, let your spirit renew. No need for constant distraction, to fill the empty space, Tolle's guide to solitude, reveals a sacred grace, In the quiet of our being, we discover endless wealth, A richness born of presence, where the heart finds its health. So pause amidst the chaos, and heed Tolle's gentle call, To find peace in solitude, to surrender, to stand tall, Stop running from the boredom, let it lead you to the light, In the quiet depths within you, true serenity takes flight.
this is a brilliant answer- -stillness speaks- true knowledge and wisdom arise from thoughtless awareness. -alert presence - pure consciousness -essence identity stillness is wonderful
I don't have the ability to imagine and string these words together but I do have the clarity to recognize them and agree, just like water is wet and the sky is blue, when they are spoken. The whole things makes me giddy like a little kid. Thank you
It's soooooo understandable if we are bored...all our lives we are constantly doing doing doing something or other... after we have tried everything to make us happy and see we have failed to get the full contentment we seek....we are bored with ALL worldly desires...then we can start to seek deep inside and find the truth.....we can actually experience and be infinite Divine peace and love and bliss.... the greatest wisdom is in advaita Vedanta non duality 🙏🕉️☯️☸️☮️
I felt the need to cry, then just relaxed and smiled, because I was okay. Apart from that, I also ended up falling asleep while just being. The quiet and stillness made me feel relaxed that I ended up falling asleep.
I think in addition to being in the present moment we have to also change our negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Just my opinion. Affirming present tense positive thoughts are greatly helpful.
But when I'm okay, I can lie awake in bed, and I notice that I'm smiling all the time, remembering lovely situations, even to the degree of laughing out loud . My husband is used to it.
Wow, this video is so timely as I just lost my mobile 😅 I am noticing how much people use their phones now that I don't have one... I also wonder how it shifts our sense of identity.
Thank you eckhart you're greatest teacher. There's three ways .good though good word. good deeds .being a real human is religion by itself but it does not have a lot of followers

The ability to be rooted in the present moment in yourself without needing any mental or external stimuli to make you feel complete or alive.
Sit quietly and at ease in the room.
It requires you to be quiet inside.
You go through boredom to get to being. All the sudden you enjoy being.
You can’t stand yourself. So you keep running into this or that.
You use others to make you feel better. But you can’t stand them either.
Because you aren’t connected with being.

Ever since I read your book 7 years ago my life has changed!!
I love it now. I was guided by spirit to quit my job. I’m free. Took me a few weeks to adjust and let go of attachments

I had to do the same thing. I'll miss certain co-workers but the peace and stillness is mind blowing.
I truly love my own company. 😊

I think there are other enlightened souls out there, but he definitely is a beacon for all 😊
When I am away camping sitting by my fire I am at peace no need to think. ❤
Oh, absolutely. When I'm not well, I try not to find solutions somewhere else, but within myself. It's a struggle, but it teaches you an awful lot.

Silence brings me so much joy I cannot put into words, even if many of the moments I spend alone with my thoughts are very painful and challenging.
We are human BEINGS not human DOINGS.
Maybe it’s time to prioritize things in your life. That counts for me too
I rarely feel bored these days. In fact, it seems like I hardly have enough time to do it all. I love, love quiet, alone time!
So many distractions, so much to do, too much to just sit and do nothing for long .... It's insane 🤣
Such a great message for people who get bored. Eckart looks great at 76 years old.
There is none so boring as he who is bored. Words to live by.
This is not a recent talk, probably from early 2000’s…..
I guess you are likely right about that, my bad.@@cgdombrow

In solitude's embrace, where quiet moments dwell,
Eckhart Tolle's wisdom, like a gentle bell,
Invites us to surrender, to the stillness deep within,
To cease our frantic fleeing, from boredom's transient din.
For in the silence lies a treasure, waiting to be found,
A sanctuary of peace, where true content is crowned,
Stop running from the boredom, let it wash over you,
Embrace the gift of stillness, let your spirit renew.
No need for constant distraction, to fill the empty space,
Tolle's guide to solitude, reveals a sacred grace,
In the quiet of our being, we discover endless wealth,
A richness born of presence, where the heart finds its health.
So pause amidst the chaos, and heed Tolle's gentle call,
To find peace in solitude, to surrender, to stand tall,
Stop running from the boredom, let it lead you to the light,
In the quiet depths within you, true serenity takes flight.
this is a brilliant answer-
-stillness speaks-
true knowledge and wisdom arise from thoughtless awareness.
-alert presence
- pure consciousness
-essence identity
stillness is
wonderful
I love it when Eckhart does a live question, always makes me so happy!!❤
It seems like FEAR can take many forms. And realizing this is the first step towards greater freedom. Overcoming fear, in its varied forms.
Ive allowed a sensation of lifetimes of boredom ❤go deep dude ❤😂
Eckhart drops another banger🤩
He is so true. Soooo true
I don't have the ability to imagine and string these words together but I do have the clarity to recognize them and agree, just like water is wet and the sky is blue, when they are spoken. The whole things makes me giddy like a little kid. Thank you
It's soooooo understandable if we are bored...all our lives we are constantly doing doing doing something or other... after we have tried everything to make us happy and see we have failed to get the full contentment we seek....we are bored with ALL worldly desires...then we can start to seek deep inside and find the truth.....we can actually experience and be infinite Divine peace and love and bliss.... the greatest wisdom is in advaita Vedanta non duality 🙏🕉️☯️☸️☮️
When you see a person
who is often silent
and avoids people,
try to stay close to him,
because he has been given wisdom.

I felt the need to cry, then just relaxed and smiled, because I was okay. Apart from that, I also ended up falling asleep while just being. The quiet and stillness made me feel relaxed that I ended up falling asleep.
That's what I'm doing right now
His voice is a tonic.
So true but we need this as a continual reminder; old habits die hard
That’s good point all the problems human beings face those incapable things when they sat in quiet rooms
Excellent! 🙏🏼
I think in addition to being in the present moment we have to also change our negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Just my opinion. Affirming present tense positive thoughts are greatly helpful.
Thank you, very much.
Jesus is the way 🕊️
Thank you for watching.
Thank you very much! I'll try to practice this. 😊🙏🏻
Thank u Master
Bored RIGHT NOW stalking you on YT 🤧 “What’s Eckhart talking about? ME? Oh Good!” 😂
Yeah i got told ignore those so called negative thoughts
"...just endure the discomfort of the mind not getting enough stimulus."
But when I'm okay, I can lie awake in bed, and I notice that I'm smiling all the time, remembering lovely situations, even to the degree of laughing out loud . My husband is used to it.
Wow, this video is so timely as I just lost my mobile 😅 I am noticing how much people use their phones now that I don't have one... I also wonder how it shifts our sense of identity.
Powerful
Thanks Eckhart
