    Love the silent gaps---time enough to breathe "God" in. Eternal thanks to you, Eckhart, as I too have found enough love of life within to cope with a chronic bad pharmaceutical reaction because of your wisdom in your books, audios, UA-cam & oprah series. It is more valuable than family counseling to understand our essence is consciousness, as you so eloquently and effervescently convey it in EVERY transmission! Amen to you, Brother!

    Mr Eckhart, I ask and give thanks to you for everyday redirecting me to my path. Thanks to you I've learned to hear my thoughts and listen to my surrounding. Sometimes I've woken up to look at my children, to really look at them or a tree without a question but , then I start questioning why I did that and everything comes back and I I kick my self when I do that. Everytime my mind starts to wonder, your messages pop up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart💖
    Ps
    It's really hard

    • @rogerlin9602
      @rogerlin9602 2 роки тому +4

      Don't fight your thoughts. What you resist persists.
      Welcome your thoughts when they pop up during meditation. Talk to your mind like a dear friend: "Let's meditate together. It's really fun to experience awareness. Hear my breathing. Let's listen together...."
      Eckhart likes to emphasize that meditation should occur throughout the day, no big deal, rather than an exercise that takes up a big block of time. So be easy about it, then your egoic mind won't treat it as a big threat. Be easy about it, no purpose, no target to achieve in the next two minutes. Just breathe and know you are consciousness
      Think it's easy. So easy that you naturally do it many times a day spontaneously. Just like looking at your children's faces spontaneously and naturally. No purpose. No target.
      Your mind cannot possible create thoughts unless you are a conscious being. Therefore when your thoughts join you in meditation, they prove that you are a conscious being. Fantastic! You are a conscious being!

    Beware of the silent gaps between words. Beware of breathing. Be aware of both silent gaps and breathing at the same time. There is knowing in the background, conscious presence, that is not thinking.
    It's vital to access that dimension in everyday life, stillness, not just during period of meditation.
    Awareness. Presence, Stillness. Spaciousness. Sense there is something there with no form. Consciousness is the foundation of everything, totally beyond doubt. You cannot doubt you are conscious now. Thoughts and emotions are built upon consciousness.
    Meditation is consciousness without thinking.
    Thanks Eckhart. 14 August 2022. 🌷🌷🌷🦋🦋🦋

THANKS to sir Eckart Tolle for always helping us not to get lost.....😥😰 The world and all its suffering sometimes scares me so much and I understand nothing anymore ... But it's better this way, it's very true, it's better to stay there where nothing can be understood. What is the use of understanding and understanding what then? Our mind, always lies to us! THANK you so much sir Eckart Tolle your teaching are a light on this darker world...,💓🙏

    I am trying to accept what is. Im not really sure how to do it. I try to be present. I try to be aware of the thinking or emotions, judgments etc. I know that if I were able to accept all that is, much of my suffering will be gone. I try "may I accept this". I think Im sensitive to egos. I try to accept them. I think its my ego that stops me accepting. I think that is the nature of the brain... to focus on threat. Im working against that anciently evolved system. Also against my conditioned mind.
    Fortunately my dad showed me presence. A magpie just called. Its 2.30am in Australia. Today I will try to remain in the space between thought.

      The strongest statement is when you say “Thank You that I have it”. A weak statement is “may I have it” because in essence it is just a question and a statement that you need something. But when you say “Thank you that I HAVE IT” or “Thank you that I accept what is” your brain is rewired and learns that you have it already and it becomes your experience that you have it already and you also draw to you anything else that you say “Thank you” for as though you have it ALREADY.

    Love Eckhart and Krishnamurti, among other carriers of wisdom.
    Just to add to what Eckhart said, meditation does not have to be absent of the operations of the mind.
    Also, meditation requires being conscious, but it also serves to make one more conscious, by insights and epiphanies. In fact, the purpose of meditation is to make one more conscious.

    WOW,
    Eckhart, you and Allan Wats have shown me the link between theory (that I've absorbed so much) and the practice which entirely lies in one's "hands". The more inessential I "shake off" of me, I'm starting to understand how actually easy it is and at the same time how and why so difficult it was before. We just need to really want this and there it's start happening... How ever long that can appear to be, as long as one can continually want to get to the roots of own being, I truly believe that one is on the right path.
    Thank you ever so much.
    I'm grateful for people like you.

    Sense perception. Thoughts. Feelings. You think these three things are life. They are all forms. Worries are forms. Past hurts are forms. Therefore you live a hypnotic life.
    Most of your attention is drawn to these three forms. When the forms stop, the light of conscious is still there. The universe, of which you are an intrinsic part, becomes aware of itself. It's conscious. You are conscious. You sense that conscious presence that underlies every form (your senses, thoughts, and feelings).
    Sometimes presence arises spontaneously. It feels good, alive, and joyful. You perceive without being burdened by senses that are conditioned.

    Master Eckhart does not belieave in Words. Words belong to the world of sense perceptions and thats why he does not care about the sound quality of his voice recordings. Some people say that make people listen to low quality, distorted and noisy sounds, is to hurt their bodies. But eckhart listen to his voice from an other place, so for him this is only an idea. But luckily he uses gaps between the words. If not his words would sound like a car. His words are always the same, as if my inner dialog is his outer dialog. But maybe the gaps are always new and as i live my socalled life via sense perceptions i cannot realise this. Eckhart also bealieves in emptiness and for this is not a planned recording at least the background has a high level of senselessness. Think the switch behind his left ears is to lower the tinnitus, the stairs are to escape to higher levels and the plants do not need too much water or words.

    Tod ist das Gegenteil von Geburt. Tod ist nicht das Gegenteil von Leben. Leben hat kein Gegenteil. Leben ist ewig. Leben ist reines Bewusstsein. Es heißt nicht leben und Tod. Es heißt Geburt und Tod. Das physische ist nur ein vorübergehender Ausdruck dessen was du bist. Der Tod ist ein Vorgang der Einigung, an dem jede Zelle deines Körpers beteiligt ist. Der Sinn deines Lebens, ist, es jetzt in die Gegenwärtigkeit einzutauchen. Wenn du den Sinn deines Lebens woanders suchst, wirst du enttäuscht werden und erfährst nur Leid und Frustration. Auf persönlicher Ebene, kann man den Sinn des Lebens überall finden, doch es gibt da etwas, was viel tiefer, weit über den persönlichen Lebenssinn hinausgeht.
    Das gesamte Universum befindet sich auf dem Wege seiner Bewusstwerdung und wir (die Wesen) sind das Medium, womit es dies tut. Dies ist der tiefere Sinn dieses Momentes.
    Die Fülle des Lebens, ist bereits da, hier, überall und jetzt. - und sie ist ganz sicher nicht in der Zukunft zu finden. 🍀🙏

    As usual one of my great teacher. For more than a decade i am learning from you and many beautiful loving people. Your explanation always soothes me always.
