Amazing Eckhart Tolle. I'll never forget that evening when I came across a French translation of his book PRACTICING THE POWER OF NOW in a… supermarket. I was quite depressed at that time. I flipped through the book and then I saw this sentence : "what's your problem right now?" It was as if a voice from heaven asked me that question! I asked myself "well yes! What's my problem right now that may justify my feeling so bad?" I bought the book right away, went back home, read it that same night and then ordered the actual POWER OF NOW and all, (YES, ALL) Eckhart's books on Amazone. By the time I finished reading them about ten days later, my perception of life had completely changed. Of course, I, myself, haven't totally changed. But at least, I know the direction in which I'm going and I know that I'm getting closer everyday. The good thing about Echart Tolle is that he doesn't try to teach you anything. He just lovingly helps you sort out the essential from the superfluous. I have never ever wanted to thank a writer in person as much as I want to thank mister Tolle. Thank you so much, Eckhart.

Amazing Eckhart Wisdom: The world is not here to make you happy, it is here to make you conscious. To awaken you. WOW, WOW, WOW❤

The saying "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." That's happened to me. A shift in my consciousness and now I hear and understand what Eckhart Tolle is speaking about.

Thanks to Master Tolle I get through my bipolar episodes with journaling instead of hospitalization now.

As I age, videos like this remind me to go deeper into myself so that I don’t suffer. ❤ Thanks, Eckhart.

I was inspired to share my personal Eckhart story today, so here goes... (sorry for the length). ~ I have never been attracted to man-made materialistic things, but it seemed that the majority had been captured by the lure of shiny objects and endlessly seeking pleasures of the flesh. I couldn't understand this behavior so I looked into it and ultimately found that this was no accident. That was the path that the fallen ones opened and worked to nudge the "foolish ones" (their words) into choosing at their own demise. Control was the objective and they had determined "fools" were easier to control, but not everyone got on board. What made some so easy to nudge and others impossible to sway from what seemed to be a higher sense of knowing and why didn't everyone have this intuitive ability? Why were some folks so immune to being trapped by temptation and others couldn't consume enough forbidden fruit to ever satisfy themselves? I reflect on my own experiences to see if that carried some weight, since that was key to Eckhart's enlightenment. Early on I was drawn to living a simple, organic and peaceful life surrounded by animals in nature, where extending love and helping others would be considered a perfect day, but I often found myself out standing in my field alone because I was so different. I wasn't able to communicate properly with others that I clearly had nothing in common with. I didn't understand what was wrong with me until I submerged myself into Eckhart's teachings and finally made sense of what was truly happening and why I was considered such a bore. I remember hearing, "You're the sweetest person I know, but you're also the last person I'd want to go to a party with." 😢 Ouch. My girlfriends didn't enjoy being around someone that was honest and refused to gossip, and the guys didn't like bothering with someone that just wanted to be friends and declined promiscuous advances. My commitment to only consuming nutritious food was not popular either, and my interest in philosophy, spirituality, poetry and reading books like the lost Gospels and how to transcend the levels of consciousness, just made things worse. I was certain that I must be a freak of nature, or from another planet so I gravitated to caring for animals and soon had enough to host a petting zoo! Although I was very happy, I was still dealing with occasional loneliness and wondering why I was so different, which led me to Eckhart Tolle's books, videos, live courses and the Eckhart Now online membership. I soon noticed the confusion began to clear and I transcended what was left of my ego as well as loneliness, which lifted me into a level of illuminated joy that I can't even find words to describe. It was as if the feeling of loneliness no longer existed. What happened? I was still alone, but I was no longer lonely and so filled with joy that I truly couldn't care less about being around anyone and actually embracing this newfound freedom. I was in need of nothing and practiced silencing the voice in my head while falling in love with mopping the floor, or raking leaves barefoot for hours on end. Everything I did became part of my spiritual practice and I couldn't wait for the next challenge to appear where my hold on presence could be tested. Over a decade I eventually learned how to jump through hoops backwards while doing cartwheels and thought now I was definitely ready to go spend a week with my parents, as Eckhart suggested, but I was bringing my float tank with me. JK. I still "lose it" from time to time, but I'm observing myself while I'm losing it, because I am intentionally choosing to "lose it" at those particular moments. For example dealing with the impact of censorship when attempting to help others and my ability to discern truth from falsehoods and how I consider the latter unacceptable. I am not one to shy away from speaking truth to power and observe myself doing just that even when it is simply in a quiet room alone. I protect truth at all costs and find that courage healthy and empowering for my soul right now. My choices may not be the right choice for everyone, but I do encourage to find what inspires the heart and expand on that, because ultimately if it enhances our Light then it is right and as a result we can better illuminate the collective field when we are passionately embracing what we love, which is the energy of who and what we truly are and what we were ultimately destined to recall; Returning all the way back to the beginning of the Primordial Light of Oneness from the Divine Source where we originated... in which the fall of duality had separated us from. Those on this path will will naturally gravitate to solitude or being of service, over gathering shiny objects. And those that have encountered much suffering seem to be the ones getting a head start. Suffering is definitely a gateway as Eckhart has explained. If it wasn't for Eckhart I would have never understood all this or found my way back home. Thank you my sweet and wise beloved brother. 🌟🙏🤗💕🌿

Eckhart The Best Sit-Down Comedian Ever!

Grief is the price we pay for love for sure❤but yes we don’t need to surf those emotional “waves” and get stuck on them . Let them flow through you leaving you unbothered at that deeper level 🙏🏼

*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*

The Purpose of Life is to Be Present. Being present while eating, being present while reading, being present while dating, being present at the supermarket.

I’ve awakened to “Practicing the Power of Now” as well, 13years ago. Eventho my dark night of the soul was challenging, but I am grateful for it. We are all on our own journeys home.💛✨🤣

Far beyond our ego, religion and the beliefs of right and wrong is our true purpose, that peace that passes all understanding ☮️❤️

The purpose of my life is to experience it and create my own purpose.

" Let me tell you, there is no purpose in life. Life is its own purpose; it is not a means to some end, it is an end unto itself. The bird on the wing, the rose in the wind, the sun rising in the morning, the stars in the night, a man falling in love with a woman, a child playing on the street - there is no purpose."

The purpose of life is to experience it, to live, to explore the senses, and to feel all emotions. The body is not what we are, it's something we use temporarily.

This explanation is the most perfect description of the very practical process of awakening to our true nature that I have ever heard!

We are here to experience. We shouldn't take others or ourselves too seriously. We should try our best and let go of the rest.

Really enjoyed this one.... especially Eckharts sense of humour ❤

Yup! Without the deep suffering, I wouldn’t know what I know. I wanted to die, I always had these thoughts of taking my life but one day I really wanted to die and got sick of the possessive thoughts. Iv always said that hitting rock bottom can be the greatest gift. Since then, 2016, I have waken to the reality of freedom. I’m no longer a puppet to my own mind or the mind. I still have instances where I “forget” but it now lasts minutes. Within time, it will last seconds, until I hit the point of just watching and feeling it slither away. Iv had loved ones pass away in those years. I wallow, like a loud or panic cry but within hours or a day or 2 I’m peaceful with it. I remember questioning myself “I should be hurt over this” but again, I had to learn what loss really was. What death really meant!! I now feel those loved ones when ever I want or when they come in. Regardless of when I die, I’m happy with what I have been through to get me to this point of utter acceptance with what is. And I’m truly thankful for Eckart! His book came into my reality in 2015. I didn’t start reading it until it kept getting brought up in conversations with different people. Since then it helped me remember who I truly am. THANK YOU!!

I am so very very grateful to the reason for everything for this amazing experience, all the wonderful people I am so lucky to be sharing this wonderful experience with and for being a part of this beautiful and truly amazing Universe. I personally don't need to know what the true reason for everything is to be immeasurable grateful to it for everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow! He describes what I have gone through pretty accurately.

Hes so compassionate

Thank you Eckhart 🙏

"لا تجزع من جرّحك وإلا فكيف للنور أن يتسلل إلى باطنك" ❤

That's it. 🙏 This sense of presence, Presence itself, this immersion in Reality saves you and accompanies you everywhere. It is the silver thread ✨that unites us to the universe. To the universe that we are and that we forget we ARE. Even pain becomes acceptable because it is a pain that opens you to the world and shows you the absolute and loving grace of everything, in spite of everything.Even the most atrocious appearances. However, an unshakable and absolute Trust in profound harmony of the Absolute is necessary. You will never be disappointed.❤ SO grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨🌺

Life Is Purpose , purpose is Life.

감사합니다 선생님 🙏

💐 Beautiful flowers 💐

You come from and are love, fear was programmed into you and your subconscious by your elders unknowingly, same as it was done to them! Being aware of this allows you the opportunity to choose whether or not you want to continue in your eddy of suffering or choose to rewrite/remove/delete the unconscious program for one you have consciously created🙏 pain is inevitable, suffering is optional! Which begs the question, how much more suffering do you want to endure or are you ready for real change? Remember that nothing changes if nothing changes dear ones! The choice is yours ❤️

I first read your book during the COVID. The isolation started my spiritual journey. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Eckhart. ☮ and 💌

ones purpose here on Earth is to experience lifes obstacles ,

Thank you!🕊

Happiness and Unhappiness are qualities of the personality/ego brought about by the belief that external illusionary happenings can determine our quality of life. True happiness is predicated on Presence. 🙏😊

Don't forget - if you are not consumed by sadness we should be not consumed also by happiness! 😉 Because of Peace who we are underneath ❤

Great work on challenges being a gateway towards our development Eckhart!

happiness is the, temporary, absense of pain and suffering.

Thank you very much for this. Quite beautiful.

So insightful. Thank u

Thank you 🙏

Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.

The sole purpose of our precious life in this universe is to create heaven .

WOW Fantastic ❤

Thank you 🌞🩵

thankyou😊💚

Oh that's funny!! Same concept as waiting fir that moment "to arrive"

Wonderful❤

“Nice” is a way of being that is about the avoidance of conflict in which nice people idealize themselves and the hyper-vigilance they are using to avoid abandonment. Terrified of saying no, they have no power other than avoiding abandonment by generating confusion whenever they feel the relationship is threatened and the fantasy future is compromised. They seek validation to ensure their security while avoiding the obvious abuse and manipulation that uses their triggers to force their attachments. “I see the good in people” is how they idealize others and when that person acts differently from this ideal, they get confused and then become nice and “understanding” while internalizing the behavior of another person as they feel “I’m not enough”. “I’m an understanding person” becomes the get out of jail free card where they feel like they don’t want to judge anyone because “I’m not perfect yet” aka not enough. They feel people can change since they need the person to change for the abandonment to be avoided. So the fantasy of changing someone else to preserve the fantasies that are constructed resulting in heartbreak and betrayal when reality becomes apparent and the fantasy future of being loved, fixed, healed collapses. Then they become avoidant again fully triggered into analyzing themselves to fix themselves and they feel worthless, abandoned, invisible, broken, not enough, and something is wrong with me. And now they are ready for another soulmate to save them from themselves. Nice is an act that’s generated in children to enable them to be good enough for the parents and they are conforming as a survival instinct to avoid being abandoned and this is the path of codependency and a life of validation seeking and even a contaminating influence upon enlightenment.

I am Worthy to be Loved 🥰 and Blessed 😇 by God. Believe! 😊❤

Since I’ve tried so many things that didn’t work I think a peaceful mind sounds very great

True purpose of life, is to worship with longing to get to speak to God personally. While working, or having business and doing your best towards your responsibility of work, and home while living meaningful relationship. And having no habit of intoxicants, polygamy, nor wearing anything unsober nor watching anything unsober. Listening to devotional songs while one the way for work and back home if feel bored. And during free time worshipping alone, while doing for well being of other beings. When you add worship it makes it easy to leave any ha it. And the day you get to speak to God. You have done the will of God and met the purpose of life. Everything is important, work, business, fried , family and one to marry to and living meaningful relationship.

I concur with his message up to a point. Suffering can bring out an awakening and facilitating a larger process of consciousness. That said, the events that engender suffering can also undermine one's well-being to an extent s/he regresses (e.g. becomes avoidant) in consciousness. Antidotally, I recall some friends tell me they once were such and such, they were happier or healthier, or able to do this or that...but, a marriage/divorce, traumatic event, or particular vice not only impeded their growth but destroyed what support and scaffolding they had before. In short, they describe this message in reverse.

Say an engine goes broke and it needs some sort of maintenance. You oil it up, tighten it up ... ready to run. I just reminded myself that that state of happiness is also called a flow, or wave, or zen, in the zone, zing meister, master... so many names, so hard to stay in the zone.

赞叹随喜❤ 阿弥陀佛🙏

I used to focus this way. NO LONGER. Having spent decades with horrific pain that no longer is valid for me. Torture should not be a teaching mode. E V E R. E V E R!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep practicing inner stillness. " You can feel an inner stillness. Even that's not quite correct. You realize you ARE The stillness"

Awarness and extrapolating what might be the future may be considered overthinking. The past is gone, the future might be so "live"in the here and now.

جهان به خود من اشاره داره که خودت جهان هستی و احساس امنیت داشته باشی...

12:11 and yet you are not consumed by it. 🌍🕊️♥️

The meaning of life means many different things to people maybe it doesn’t need to have a meaning we should treat one another well and not seek validation in materialistic things the world would have us all believe that if we buy something that we will find satisfaction

Thank you 🙏 🪽❤️🕊️🙏

I LIKE YOUR HAIRCUT.

his two shorts laughs at minute 6:00 are priceless

very good at suffering

I recently came across Eckhart Tolle & I read his book, practicing the power of now. Omg! It was a game changer for me! Totally transformed my thinking. I do believe that you have to be ready to understand or be in a situation where this all makes sense. Otherwise his words or anything he is saying will not make any sense..or you will not be ready to accept that it really is your mind causing you all this suffering. I am forever grateful for reading the power of now & I look forward to reading more of his books 🙏🏽 thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊 ❤

I would never have found Eckhart Tolle had I not encountered my "twin flame" (my Other Self).

Well actually it could have been better because I have other challenges too and now I'm sick that's the ultimate challenge for everyone

There is no inherent purpose to existence. We create our purpose. We do respond to innate drives such as survival and procreation, but beyond that there is no predefined purpose.

Being asleep is so attracting, though... Am I sure I want to be awake?

❤

Jesus YOU ARE MY STRENGTH. Lord please bless my children both are special needs, heal them Lord. I’m overwhelmed because I’m on my own as a single mother I have no one to turn to, but you Heavenly Father. Give me strength as I struggle to buy groceries, and as I struggle to pay rent, and as I struggle to do it all for my sons. Keep us safe and protect us from the evil ones of this world. Amen.🙏🏾

❤🙏🏻

What about if the thought are comwfrom a physical pain? That is also suffering

Life has no purpose. A purpose implies something to attain or achieve. Life is already whole, complete, and changelessly so.

🙏🙏🙏

Speeeak ET 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💥💥💥challenges .....& discomfort build you Up✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿🙌🏿💥

❤❤❤👍

???? How is possible to incorporate with law of attraction ( positive affirmation) and living in the present, in the moment??????? Thank you 🙏🏾!!!!🌟✨💫

I will one day be known as Zachary Zephyrz If that doesn’t work, I have a backup plan.

💜🙏💐

only ego is looking for purpose

"Some groups, such as the Gnostics and Cathars, believed that we live in a virtual reality simulation, fashioned by an evil creator, with the purpose of consuming our energy and keeping our soul trapped. Plato created the allegory of the Cave to present that we live in a non- real reality, and in fact, are prisoners in it". ~ Howdie Mickoski

Older ekart is so wise 😳

🙏🧡🔥🌻

Its true but some people born in countries that get exploited from unconscious people do create suffering of others.

There is pressure and suddenly "the ghost is out of the bottle".

What’s the explanation of people going completely insane with no way of remission if the world is here to make us conscious. I do believe in the idea to some extent but I naturally have some questions to believe it fully as a person caring for the details and asks a lot of questions.

♾☮❤🙏

The ego creates suffering ands that’s it. The I’m not good enough dialogue.

❤ 🇲🇲

Or it created from having pain abd being sick

🤣 He's so funny

Death reigns supreme (fortunately) But if there is no life than there is no death. Why would we gather strength if in the end we are all going to die. Is that not futile?

Tv commercials would have us believe that if we buy something we will become a reflection of the model we see in the advertising we can all be supermodels and lead adventurous lives while living in a Nightmare I find it funny how television commercials will show us weight loss products and then follow up with a commercial for fattening food We are shown commercials for expensive vehicles and then we are shown commercials for extended car warranties They also show advertisements for electric vehicles and they show the vehicle in an area in some super remote location where you obviously wouldn’t find a place to plug in the vehicle to re- charge it I

how do you know?
