Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today.

Thank you, Eckhart. The negative self-talk is a combination of other people’s voices (especially if you’ve had a difficult background) and your own. Agreed that it is harsh and cruel. That was my experience with it my for over half my life, anyway; and it was subconscious most of the time. So, I didn’t even realize it was running my life. Until I discovered what complex trauma was and started recovering from it AND then found you and your teachings, I was destined to forever be miserable. I appreciate all that you do and share with us so freely. What I’ve learned from you has been a priceless gift that is all important and has changed my life for the better. 🙏

Thanks Eckhart, for inspiring me to practice presence by not attaching myself to my thoughts by simply being the observer of my thoughts. It's a great reminder to not get stuck in mind activity and instead access the portals to presence. Have a great week everyone! 💜

Being totally aware in the present moment is when one is just simply observing everything round them without labeling things or judging what's happening, and the same should apply to the voice in the head whenever it arises, so just silently observe it without identifying with it, and therefore, one should always be able to remain aware in the present moment without any kind of negative self talk. Thanks Eckhart.

I think back to the time when I first read The Power of Now and A New Earth. I reached for the books as my life seemed to be in total chaos. As troubles mounted I would listen to the audio version of A New Earth every night while trying to fall asleep. That was 12 years ago. Back then I would continuously bring myself into the present moment and find peace. Now I am free of the past earthly burdens, but still need a reminder to focus on the moment as my mind wonders into the past and stresses over what was,but is no more. Thank you Eckhart for sharing your wisdom and providing the tools to enlighten our lives. You have shown me the doorway to peace of mind.

I am 50. Bipolar, ptsd, adhd. Always had tons of repetitive negative self talk. Bad parents since day one. Super sensitive pisces man too. I learned about negative self talk at age 22 ish. I still catch it everyday. My case is bad but Eckhart has helped more than anything, including cognitive behavior therapy and medication to see that ego thinking is tricky and useless torture. Why we have ego is the real question but not NOW. Pun intended.......there is no ego now.

@martinscrapp7166 Ай бұрын

But what of your soul? Nothing Mr Tolle says will bring you everlasting spiritual life. Matthew 7:15 - _"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."_ - Jesus Jesus is the only answer to your life now, and your life after you return to the dust from whence we all came. He is alive. He did rise on the 3rd day. Around 500 people witnessed it: 1 Corinthians 15:6 - _After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep._ I do not understand why people look everywhere else, to everyone else, for answers, except to Jesus. Seriously, if people were honest with themselves, they would invite Jesus in and see what He has to say: Revelation 3:20 - _"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."_ - Jesus Matthew 11:28-30 - _"Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light"_ - Jesus John 12:35-36 - _"...Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light"_ - Jesus

@@martinscrapp7166 A lot of us love Jesus, but not the church. There is always powers around that want to manipulate us from the truth, even all the Christian churches. But Jesus is everyone’s brother, but the text is manipulated. For me and for Eckhart, we know that we are all one, one with God and one with Jesus and all the Archangels. ”We”might not behave like it, and we might choose a path that is dark. But it is God in us exploring the darkness, it is God in us finding back to light from the darkness in the world, when we meditate with Eckhart Tolle! Or trying any other spiritual path! 🙏❤️ This might not resonate with you. But I can’t do anything about that. That is God in you making that choise. You are exploring that path in this life. Blessings to you, my brother! ❤🙏

Finally, Eckhart Tolle speaks in the right manner, he has totally entered into direct perception like Krishnamurti and doesn't mention any methods, but aims at the center, the essence. But unfortunately, most of you don't even know who Jiddu Krishnamurti is.

@fireandthebrain Ай бұрын

The power that comes from watching your thoughts instead of completely identifying with them is really cool but the more tired / worn out you feel, the harder it can be to separate them and your thoughts can tire you out, it's a bit of a vicious cycle. When well rested it seems easier to separate them.

@AlanVots Ай бұрын

The proof that I'm right is that nobody has liked what I wrote, because you don't understand. You listen to Eckhart Tolle like a bunch of calves, but very few of you actually understand what he's saying. Therefore, your efforts are in vain. Until you realize that change is spontaneous. Unattached desire for change? That's okay. But effort for change? Not okay.

let me break this down as I see it , logically. It's not one's choice to be in the present moment or not. You are in a present moment whether you are awake or asleep according to your global and Universal coordinate positioning system within and irrespective of the surrounds you are in currently that have changed from a previous event recall being in the same place. So what is prompting the mind to be aware of it's surrounds from where it is currently present a for what purpose. Something from within is talking to you because it would be impossible for your physical brain to be talking to itself, why?, because the physical brain cannot ask a question and answer the question, why?, because the answer to the question would have already been known. Unfortunately so called teachers and Guru's do not have a clue how one's lineage inception was initially Formed. One can deduce from this statement what or who is asking the question and resolving by using your EGO send and receive tool, ie " you your lineage inception was initially FORMED ( the source) not BORN ( the biological). Your Form Source has been conditioning your physical Being of it's presence within whether you have been enlightened by it's presence or not, after all, how do think your lineage has come thus far since it's inception. Definitely not by narratives from so called teachers nor Guru's.
