      Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears.

    I still call myself a Roman Catholic, but I know the difference between what Jesus said and what the men who organised the Church did. I didn't believe a lot of what the Church taught even when I was a child. They were always talking about punishment. Being good, being kind and respecting everyone's beliefs. It's not that difficult. 😆 I love the music from all religions, public worship with people from any religion is a wonderful way to connect with the Spirituality of others.

      I have a similar line of understanding. So, it is nice to see another in that realm. Born into Catholicism, then was away until I had children. Stayed many years, then when the abuses were burst open and so forth, I left... for various reasons. We were taught by my stepfather to be respectful of other religions. Anyway, re: Catholicism. What was always tragic, is that the "Church" focused more on fine details of the chalice and host or robes or observances, that had nothing to do with what Christ teaches. In particular, the Church did not seem to focus too much on books of John, only the controlling fear based scriptures. Did they not read "1 John 4:18 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.".

It's a wonderful feeling and I connect with the message more deeply. I'm much calmer afterwards too. With these quick edits I don't feel the presence. Please don't fall into the trap of todays ever faster and faster world. We need pauses, not more and more content. The world is stressed out as it is. This goes against Eckharts teachings. I guess you are trying to connect with a different audience, an audience that doesn't have time for pauses. But I don't think it will help them. Please re-edit the videos!

    There comes a time when religion, ideologies, and philosophies can be seen simply as tools; tools by which to help one ascend to greater and higher levels of consciousness. From a higher perspective, ALL teachings are simply concepts. The spiritual path is the recognition that ALL concepts are human created ; created for structure, to provide meaning and a sense of purpose. Other teachers refer to these man-made concepts (all religions) as 'permission slips', something that you allow yourself to use for awhile until you no longer need them. Use whatever helps you until you naturally move past and beyond it. All experiences facilitate the expansion of consciousness.

We've lost our sense of community, and with the government so corrupt and abandoning so many of us (like single people and people on SS, etc) we really need to develop strong communities so we can help each other.

Earth is shifting into 4th density.This world is controlled by an negative inter dimensional reptilian et race they keep us supressed from the higher densities(12 total conciousness frequency levels) , we live in a infinite multi dimensional holographic universe with an infinite number of frequency ranges, this massive shift in consciousness and increasing vibration is going to destroy this control 3th density matrix. Just like all the other infinite worlds is this also experiment of the infinite creator , our (electromagnetic)spirits /souls are one with the infinite (light)creator, and had many lifes on other planets and dimensional realities. How long it takes before humans are fully awake has to do with timelines. You can raise your own consciousness by avoiding the reptilian control matrix, meat lowers the vibrational state of the body and stay away from fluoride and tapwater(only via filter jug).

    Whenever Eckhart describes how the ego can grow to fill the mind I always think of Jesus talking about yeast in his parables, and how those thoughts in my lizard brain have the capability of rising just like bread dough. Except that I can't just punch it down - the ego does not like that, and will fight back - I must gently knead it, as though I am trying not to make the bread dough tough....

    It is the rule keeping…the absolutes…the punishment aspects of formal religions that keep me from all organised religions and I’ve tried many throughout my 83 years. Instinctively I’ve always felt “my God” to be loving, kind and forgetful! With humor and joy at his/her core. This life is a gift…not a trial test in order to prove worthiness. Eckhart allows me to not continuously beat myself up for past “failures” but take them as a learning/growth experience on a path to more enlightened love of fellow humans and true appreciation for the awesome beauty of this remarkable planet/world. Peace and love to all…may you be blessed beyond your imaginings!

    All organized religions are ideologies. I have rarely - if ever - met a religious person who even knows the meaning of consciousness. Religions almost always must have enemies in order to survive and their primary purpose is control and separation. Most of them seem to only be able to think in terms of black and white and if you throw something into their belief that doesn’t fit their self-constructed puzzle, they immediately dismiss it because if they admitted it could be true, it just might be the beginning of the destruction of their house of cards.

    I know it’s looked at critically by many, but after having had many profound experiences with psychedelics and plant medicine from the Amazon, which were connected with Eckharts teaching for all those years, I can tell you how it feels for me: I feel I experienced (probably just a fragment) of the divine realm, eternity, inner space, endless love. Now when talking with Christians about Jesus it feels a bit like talking about the gate, while it is about the temple. Jesus said “I am the way” and I totally feel like Eckhart says that all these teachings are POINTERS to the truth behind. So I’m having trouble to talk about these concepts as it’s like blocking the experience at the level of the mind.
    But: in the end, all roads lead to “god/universe/light/love” that I’m 100% sure…and as crazy as it sounds I do recommend to follow the pain, as in that I found eternal light.
    Much love 🙏🏼

    "if it takes possession of your mind & exerts a controlling function" - I was a Jehovah's Witness for 20 years, I left 10 years ago. What you said Eckhart definitely describes the Watchtower religion & the extreme control it has over the lives of it's members. And just as you said they condemn everyone outside of their religion as evil. I'm so glad I got out of it, I only wish my wife would wake up to the true nature of that high control religion & see it for what it really is.
    Your books, The Power Of Now & A New Earth; which I'm currently reading, along with your videos have helped & encouraged me so much. I'm currently reading the section on Resentment & Grievance & realise I definitely am holding onto Grievance toward the Watchtower religion & it's Leaders. It seems to be a big problem with exJws & very difficult to let go of.

    Great comment on religions.

I think there are very deep religious teachings that create miracles. Whose was the voice that Master Tolle heard the night of the awakening of his conscience? The voice that told him, "Don't resist anything"?
