“The ego isn't wrong; it's just unconscious. When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Don't take the ego too seriously.” -ECKHART TOLLE 💜☀️🙏🏽
I see the ego as the 'velcro' that attaches one to matter and included a need to have an identity, a pile of experiences, an ability to quote others and a quest to be noticed (all in the realm of matter). Enlightenment is the absence of self, ego, experiences which is attained by 'non-being' in the material realm and 'Being' (as an innocent child, clean slate) in the non-sense Realm. It is akin to if you want to be joined to the Eternal, you must deny yourself and all accumulated experiences, identities, successes and failures that came from the matter realm. To be Spiritually Free is not about doing; it's about Being in the unseen Realm.
I’ve been listening to power of now and so many other things and I must truly be missing something because it’s confusing me something horrible and I need and want to learn. Been going through the dark night of the soul for two years now and I’m at the worst end of it and still don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I can focus. But at the moment I’ve giving up a lot of toxic addictions, as well as losing my mother and grandchildren and now my TF leaving and my son not talking to me. I feel like everyone’s being taken away from me . But I get angry when people are attacking me verbally, I mean full on at me and I eventually snap and go off and I don’t want to. I don’t want to be angry or sad. I just want to be happy and have this pain in my chest and head to go away.
Love it. The ego and Spirit can work together. Without ego, there would be no experiences. The ego says I’m right, Spirt looks at ego with such love and compassion as we would a three year old child digging his feet into the ground and then throwing a tantrum. Why does the child/ego do this, because it doesn’t know to get what it wants it doesn’t have to fight. It hasn’t matured enough. So how can we deal with our ego? We need to own our Truth, and from that aspect of ourselves, love the ego by giving it understanding, compassion and most of all love. That way the ego aspect will change, knowing you appreciate it, for helping you have experiences, you could NOT have Experiences without it. Wars are built on the premise I’m right you are wrong. If we could stop this happening within our own being, remember the only being, there’s only one, and give your ego aspect a self hug, for as long as it takes to feel the resistance turn into peace. This is how you become balanced, thank your ego aspect for everything it does for you. Driving your car, making lovely meals, cleaning your house, the list is endless and watch what happens. Your ego aspect feels loved, appreciated, needed and wanted, and when the Father son and holy Spirt come together as ONE, miracles happen. Please see this everyone don’t fight! Love instead. The World leaders are fighting because they think the other is wrong, like some are doing to the ego. World leaders are mirroring us! Make peace with you ego, it’s less than 7 years old, but it can mature if you hold its hand and lead it home to your heart.
Yes so free. In fact there is no “you” that is “free”. There is ONLY freeness. And imagination appearing and disapearing in freeness. A beautiful misunderstanding that never happened. 👽👽
John Seventeen exactly… All is already free, whole and complete without the individual ( separate sense of self). There’s actually no free will and choice in this and absolutely nothing to be done about it … I mean WHO would be “doing” it? 🤷♀️😉 hehe …
Would you then describe the ego less as thoughtless people? Seems all a little bit theoretical to me. I want to be a thoughtful person. I love playing with ideas, sifting information, considering different opinions. Etc etc. Of course we must learn how to turn the noise off, when necessary. But you do whatever. . Repeating what others say is occasionally useful. But I’m so glad I’ve got a fully functioning organic computer.
@@flyingfishnet Everybody thinks, including Eckhart Tolle, it's just when you form an identity out of thought that you are in ego mode, you can think without identifying...
The ego is a survival tool and wants to help us in dangerous situations. The problem is, that people are too often in fight or flight, so they activate the ego all the time. Normally you should be in a state of love and harmony most of the time and not in a ego-state of survival. So it´s up to the consciousness level of every human being, if they let the ego reign them or if they are in a place of love and peace.
Be wary of positive affirmations. Implicit in making them is a sense of lack, otherwise there’d be no need to make such statements. That is to say that they are often a subconscious attempt to hypnotize the self into behaving in a way in alignment with the affirmations; yet the very need to “hypnotize the self” itself brings in the action of will and therefore strengthens and reinforces the ego in a subtle way
Even though I've read several of Eckhart's books, and I listen to his teachings on here, and those of others like Alan Watts, Ram Dass, etc, I still have to come back every once in a while to re-center myself and get my ego under control. It's a constant battle and when I notice myself behaving in unconscious ways, I come back and things get better.
The EGO cant coexist if one remains in the present. It takes practice to remain in the present (sound, touch, breathing) are all ways that one can remain in the present, the problem with modern society is that most people are rarely present and are constantly distracted. We were designed to live moment to moment because truly thats all we have.
One of my big problems with the ego, is needless spending and buying. If I'm feeling down, I tend to look for something outside of myself that will make me feel better. At least I'm aware of it now, and I can usually resist the temptation, because those things never make you feel good for long. Then you feel worse for not saving or investing, and your house is full of things you don't really need. This is a process and I'm a few years into it, but at least I'm more conscious of how my ego tries to feel satisfied and I can say no to it.
Eckhart teachiles NOT to resist, as that is simply suppression and keeps it as an unconscious thing. Simply bring presence to it. The biggest sources of unconsciousness and addiction hold the MOST light of consciousness hostage. We must observe it and "be" aware of it and in the moments where we can step into it, even with only a split second of awareness of it happeneing before going into identification with jt, is enough to start awakening that sleeping part of your consciousness. With time and repetition, your presence burns it up bit by bit and becomes free of it. Don't push your vices away, bring them into your light of awareness. Thats WHY youre a few years into it, rather than having already freed your being
I never looked at it that way, I struggle with the same thing. Looking for outside validation and temporary satisfaction to fill my ego. I’m just learning about this.
I’m learning so much this time in my life . Feels like I’m just meant to be here learning all of these different things . I know this is my season for growth . 😇🙂
I just love ET humor.. when I laugh , I’m laughing spiritually at my EGO self & simultaneously spiritually smiling joyfully at my True Nature… Thank you ET for being my Here & Now present moment to moment Guru 🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
@@victorbondoc2311 The ego can never be enlightened. What I am pointing to here is a recognition that we are already That. For the ego to believe that it is enlightened is only confusion. For Being to recognize itself as such is liberation. Eckhart is holding the awareness frequency. We too can hold it. To believe otherwise is also confusion.
The best time for me to leave the ego, is when in the shower and just experiencing the feeling I get from the hot/warm water massaging the back of my neck. It's like a factory reset, back to when I didn't have so much petty nonsense clogging up my drives. Oh the joy!
killing the ego will solve everything anxiety depression the missing something you become free and true I have every materialistic things but the bliss is the true success
If we are ever going to survive on this planet, we have to quiet our minds and keep our egos in check. Presence is needed. Don't forget to mark a special day on your calendar: World Ego Awareness Day (WEAD) is on May 11th of this year.
He’s so wonderful. I think if he didn’t become the greatest spiritual teacher of all time, he would have made it big in stand up comedy! 😂 Namaste, Eckhart. 🙏
Feel so much LOVE for you Eckhart, God Force has truly blessed the world with your presence and I know you are another "Christed" being, here to help humanity thru this evil crisis and ascension. Your light is one of a kind my friend, God Force bless you and your work.
I agree with the making something by giving it attention it adds a sense of quality in it. I have noticed that when something is done by heart, like for example 'a meal', it changes all the mood in the people who try it. Awesome!
I don't think people realise He is dead spot on about people making meal & adding energy field to it. I have read stories of buddhist master refusing to eat meal made by cook who was angry at the time of preparing the meal...
Since reading and listening to geniuses like Ekhart, Alan watts and Jordan Peterson etc..I find myself regularly looking at myself and realising that my ego just had a moment. Something more then I ever did in my younger days.
It never existed actually. The ego just appears and disapears and it is witnessed by somthing. But the “ego” is just imagination about some character that is taken to be real. Theres only ever imagination happening in that which cannot be described.
@@DeanoxChrist you are spot on, all our automatic thoughts are based on memory and imagination. Our automatic mind has the same access to our memories as us and the same ability to use our imagination as us the only difference is our automatic non us mind is so much faster than us so tends to be dominant 99% the time. Being aware of our automatic mind and understanding how it operates gives us freedom and independence from it.
Nasty ego or no nasty ego, that doesn't help in any way for some of the parents I encounter whose children are completely physically deformed or seriously mentally sick. Life is just one long nightmare for them.

Yeshua also said not to love anything of the world as in possession. Because you can’t take it with you when you go. E kart is so right about not allowing things to define who you are. Hoarding is a sign the soul is hurt. There is something missing and that is self identity. Thanks for the soul food Eckart .
You'd think this channel would remove ads completely so we could actually have a moment to process the teachings. Its counter-productive and stressful.
Hello Eckhart Tolle, I've just found you listening to your interview on Russell Brand UA-cam channel and I'm hooked listening to you, how you explain things is fantastic your knowledge is loaded with so much wisdom and truth and explained with some brilliant humor, everything your talking about is very very important for the evolution of our civilization and evolution of the soul, because the three main things that are missing in a very large quantity concerning today's society are, Love-Wisdom-Spirituality, good stuff Eckhart...God Bless You.
I recently discovered the ego as an innocent defensive organism designed to protect, and because polarities, also causes harm… like a well-intentioned, unaware person. The ego is innocent. It is not my enemy :). It can be embraced and allowed to be. Even appreciated.
What I derive from this is that things that are here more like a theme park ride it's good if you find them enjoyable while you're on them, it's a bummer if your plan gets cancelled, but you don't get depressed when it did. Well, I mean ideally.
Non duality suggests there is no one already and the ego is the contracted self feeling like a separate person who has thoughts..even though no one is doing the thinking..
😇GVB❤ 🎉Good Morning, from the mountains of NC/TN border. 😊I was thinking of you as I woke up this morning...I have fallen into a nest of Narcissists,! I have NEVER encountered a single being that I could NOT endure myself to😂 Perhaps that's the PROBLEM. 😮Could I be unwittingly Giving IT the Attention that it's seeking for being so miserable and persistent.? It's hard to "fly above " such a nasty entitled presence. ❤ I will be checking back in for more insight today, after I get up and TAKE IT TO CHURCH WITH ME!!😊❤ LOVE YOU..Grace Victoria ❤
I looked at my cat last night and said, "This cat knows Eckhart's teachings..." she is always in the moment, not in the past, not depressed, doesn't live in the future...and then this...The Ego...the cat surely has an ego.
Why should you think that? Are you really sure about it? I haven't always though so, but now it seems to me that animals don't have any sense of their own identity. All their ways can be understood or explained in this way.
My dog rolo comes when i call "Rolo, beauty, I whistle or clap my hands" While I'm not sure he identifies himself as "Dog" I can't know. What I'm unclear on is if I posted this or my ego posted this.......hmmm.
You need an ego. Anyone who tries to suppress the ego ends up with an ego which thinks it’s not an ego, but is actually much stronger and stubborn. The only way we transcend the need for ego is if we become like the Buddha or we pass on from the material world. A good healthy Ego, based on the righteous virtues of love, forgiveness, compassion and selflessness is the balance which is the purpose of this era of the Human.
It's not about suppressing the ego it's about letting it pass. So it doesn't run your life. As with anxiety or any addiction you can overcome it. Addict's still think about using but know they are able to go on without it. Same with ego. It's still there but quiet , not muted but not over taking your mind
Actually, we are to possess the ego. This is done by the discipline of thought capture which makes the ego accountable for itself so that we are complete…lacking nothing. It’s a type of mutual submission…. All things are profitable….especially the ego. We don’t run, deny, or substitute for things because they are potentially destructive. We Identify, possess, and bring into submission all things for the purpose of making them profitable.
The Ego is one of the most important components in human evolution, especially social evolution. We have egos for information transition, that's the point of it. If we didn't have an ego we'd have no reason or rhyme to pass on information to others, that is outside of immediate reciprocal benefits. Teaching your tribe to make fire is immediate and reciprocal; telling someone why WW1 started is not, or it is to a very tiny degree in a holistic understanding. The Ego is essential, making sure it doesn't effect you to your determent is what you should teach.

Yeshua also said not to love anything of the world as in possession. Because you can’t take it with you when you go. E kart is so right about not allowing things to define who you are. Hoarding is a sign the soul is hurt. There is something missing and that is self identity. Thanks for the soul food Eckart .
You can sense that it's done with care and attention and it adds an energy to it....... This must be why I loved my granny's food so much!!!!!
Thank you for introducing me to a way to better recognize my ego and engage in the practice of presence.
So sweet how his wife is the front row supporting him.
You'd think this channel would remove ads completely so we could actually have a moment to process the teachings. Its counter-productive and stressful.

Eckhart has such a gift for teaching. God gifted him with charisma and Krishnamurti helped him awaken and develop the innate intelligence within
The sudden waterfall sound at the end always startles me
As we being to deal with the ego we must trust in our selfs and those around us...
Are you sure?
Love his sense humor🙂
I love Eckhart
Hello Eckhart Tolle, I've just found you listening to your interview on Russell Brand UA-cam channel and I'm hooked listening to you, how you explain things is fantastic your knowledge is loaded with so much wisdom and truth and explained with some brilliant humor, everything your talking about is very very important for the evolution of our civilization and evolution of the soul, because the three main things that are missing in a very large quantity concerning today's society are, Love-Wisdom-Spirituality, good stuff Eckhart...God Bless You.
Thank you so much, all love 🙏❤
Thanks for sharing! Sending love! 🙏
I recently discovered the ego as an innocent defensive organism designed to protect, and because polarities, also causes harm… like a well-intentioned, unaware person. The ego is innocent. It is not my enemy :). It can be embraced and allowed to be. Even appreciated.
Loved this. Beautiful ❤
Every sentence is like a revelation. : ) Awesome content!
Just a beautiful Soul
I always had a feeling that the outcome of food was based off of the energy put into it!!
Eckhart had me 😂 with his joke at the beginning about the universe
What I derive from this is that things that are here more like a theme park ride it's good if you find them enjoyable while you're on them, it's a bummer if your plan gets cancelled, but you don't get depressed when it did. Well, I mean ideally.
Spirituality on another level!!!!! Loving it!!!
Non duality suggests there is no one already and the ego is the contracted self feeling like a separate person who has thoughts..even though no one is doing the thinking..
Eckhart Tolle you are just superb listening
It is lovely to have a "light" discussion of the ego. It is a pleasant experience not to be lectured.
Exactly. This is what Tolle does so well. He is the spiritual comedian 😆❤️

😇GVB❤ 🎉Good Morning, from the mountains of NC/TN border. 😊I was thinking of you as I woke up this morning...I have fallen into a nest of Narcissists,! I have NEVER encountered a single being that I could NOT endure myself to😂 Perhaps that's the PROBLEM. 😮Could I be unwittingly Giving IT the Attention that it's seeking for being so miserable and persistent.? It's hard to "fly above " such a nasty entitled presence. ❤ I will be checking back in for more insight today, after I get up and TAKE IT TO CHURCH WITH ME!!😊❤ LOVE YOU..Grace Victoria ❤
Thank you for your teachings on how to observe ego and use the narrative steps to dissolve ego. Very very helpful in this spiritual journey.
I so love Eckhart Tolle and am grateful for his wisdom! 💜😇💜
Ty you Eckhart for your teachings and guidance it has brought me to the discovery that I'am only Love Light truth ...I'am namaste my brother ✌❤🌠
Ty “What ever you think I am is alright with me.
It’s everything else I think I am that disagrees “ r.p.
I looked at my cat last night and said, "This cat knows Eckhart's teachings..." she is always in the moment, not in the past, not depressed, doesn't live in the future...and then this...The Ego...the cat surely has an ego.
Why should you think that? Are you really sure about it? I haven't always though so, but now it seems to me that animals don't have any sense of their own identity. All their ways can be understood or explained in this way.
@@robwilde855 How do they learn their names then?
@@Doriesep6622 Do animals really know what their name is or do they just know that when that specific sound/ word is made they are rewarded?
My dog rolo comes when i call "Rolo, beauty, I whistle or clap my hands" While I'm not sure he identifies himself as "Dog" I can't know. What I'm unclear on is if I posted this or my ego posted this.......hmmm.
I noticed the same in my dog. When I observe my dog for a while I become more present myself. He's like a guru to me :)
The ego needs something to fill this void. We find unconscious comfort in things like a pacifier.
He now really sounds like Yoda!
He is Yoda, beware!
A jedi master, young padawan!
He's the real Yoda. And the Power of Now is The Force ✨
Thyself you know
😂
Heard before, but giving care & details to everything thanks Eckhart 😊
Thank You Eckhart for the knowledge you bring us! ❤️🤗
Thank you, Namaste
You need an ego. Anyone who tries to suppress the ego ends up with an ego which thinks it’s not an ego, but is actually much stronger and stubborn. The only way we transcend the need for ego is if we become like the Buddha or we pass on from the material world.
A good healthy Ego, based on the righteous virtues of love, forgiveness, compassion and selflessness is the balance which is the purpose of this era of the Human.
Yeah.... But who's saying this?

It's not about suppressing the ego it's about letting it pass. So it doesn't run your life. As with anxiety or any addiction you can overcome it. Addict's still think about using but know they are able to go on without it. Same with ego. It's still there but quiet , not muted but not over taking your mind
Actually, we are to possess the ego. This is done by the discipline of thought capture which makes the ego accountable for itself so that we are complete…lacking nothing. It’s a type of mutual submission….
All things are profitable….especially the ego. We don’t run, deny, or substitute for things because they are potentially destructive. We Identify, possess, and bring into submission all things for the purpose of making them profitable.
The Ego is one of the most important components in human evolution, especially social evolution. We have egos for information transition, that's the point of it. If we didn't have an ego we'd have no reason or rhyme to pass on information to others, that is outside of immediate reciprocal benefits. Teaching your tribe to make fire is immediate and reciprocal; telling someone why WW1 started is not, or it is to a very tiny degree in a holistic understanding.
The Ego is essential, making sure it doesn't effect you to your determent is what you should teach.
