When a human being awakens spiritually and starts living every day in the present moment, time ceases to exist for them. For time is just an artificial construct of the mind, and it's the mind that's trapped in time because society's widely spoken motto ( time is money ) keeps the human mind focused on a mindless path of consumption, instead of a mindful path of spiritual awareness. Praise to those who truly awaken out of the artificial mental constructs created by this false society. Thanks so much Eckhart. Have an egg-cellent easter weekend.

Another rather awful expression is "killing time," with its presumption that the current moment is somehow inferior to what's going to happen next, something better! My family members often remark that time is passing too quickly, which I understand, but it's not really passing at all in a linear manner, it only appears so to the mind, with all the limitations that implies.

You know what puts people in present moment - traveling. Arriving at a strange place, gets our attention focused. That's why we are addicted to traveling - it puts us in the moment. We don't understand why it feels so good... it takes us away from yesterday and tomorrow. We just focus on the moment, now, looking at all the strange, unknown things around. Forget about all the bs rolling in the head over and over at home....

I have the much shorter Practicing The Power Of Now but even this isn't for me. I've watch some brilliant videos of other people explaining PON in 5 minutes and it's absolutely brilliant but reading Eckharts way of putting things in print just isn't for me personally.

Eckhart, falls du das liest, will ich das du weißt, dass ich dir von meinem Herzen danke 🙏. Du hast mir geholfen einen Raum in mir zu finden, den ich nur intuitiv wahrgenommen habe, der jedoch wie ein Schleier lange vor mir verborgen blieb. Deine Videos, deine Bücher, deine Präsenz.. All das hat mir dabei geholfen diesen Raum endlich zu erkennen. Stille zulassen, meiner Existenz lauschen, meine Essenz spüren, du hast mir dabei geholfen meine Tiefe wahrzunehmen und in dieser Tiefe liegt alles was ich brauche, für immer. Worte können gar nicht ausdrücken wie froh ich darüber bin, dich in meinem Leben entdeckt zu haben.

Hi everyone! Nice to share this meditation with you. Something he said tonight really resonated with me, about the lack of connection one can see in others who are lost in thought, and it made me wonder if this isn't part of the reason (or the main reason?) why many people feel isolated and lonely these days. Not only are we fixated on electronic devices, we have lost the habit of deep listening and witnessing, such as you find when walking in the woods. On vacation last week, my husband and I couldn't find a restaurant that wasn't playing music. Heaven forbid we sit quietly for a few minutes!

Excellent Video Professsor Eckhart! When you state a "Higher State Of Consciousness", it must be contingent on a meditative shift. For Alien Beings, this is embedded into our genetic sequence because we have evolved over a substantial period of time. Human beings must master breathing before anything else can be achieved.

When I was a kid, I was more present in what I was doing. I would segment my activities and focus my attention on whatever I was doing in each given moment. One day, my teacher asked me to read a passage out of a book out loud. I was so present when I read it, that afterward, the teacher was stunned. I actually felt my presence while reading it. I was so concentrated on just reading from that book, that no other thoughts entered my mind. It was as if I forgot I even existed. My presence showed in my voice. I read the passage just as well as a professional actor would read it for a movie. So, I know exactly what Eckhart is talking about. I hope that someday, I can regain that level of consciousness.

🙏...This sense of PRESENCE is the universe itself, life itself and nothing is more Real than this. A few years ago I spent a holiday in a small Italian seaside town. A wonderful place. One late afternoon I took a walk on the shore of the beach. It was a gloomy day and the sea was very stormy. There were very high waves. I was aware that it was dangerous to walk in front of this stormy sea but I was too fascinated by the beauty of this landscape and I didn't want to leave. Later during the night 18 persons drowned. It was a tragedy. At a certain moment I stopped because fear was taking over. Suddenly I don't know what happened but the fear disappeared and I looked at this boundless sea and these very high waves without judging their extreme beauty and without being afraid of them. I was an external and very powerful, very lucid eye, I was the sea, the sky, the black clouds, I was everything but IT WASN'T ME! It was an unforgettable and never-before-felt experience. It lasted only a few seconds. Then I hurried back up the road shocked by such a majestic sensation. IT was so REAL, more real than my fear more REAL of the incredible beauty of the landscape. It was truer than life. That was it. Impossible to say, you can only feel it. These meditations point to this Reality. So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌺

3:26 Come into this present moment with your attention directly. Drop into the now. Become more conscious of sensory perception. More alertness. 9:57 Be here fully. Noisy thinking subsides. Nothing is missing. I am breathing, looking, listening, feeling alive. Relax into the present moment. Meditation / Presence: Heightened state of alertness is very different than falling asleep. 13:40 You don’t need this moment to be different. Accept and be aware of this moment as it is. You don’t meditate to change anything or reach a peaceful state you don’t have now. What else is there beyond sensory perception this moment? Feel inner energy body, your hands and legs. It’s subtle.

In fact it involves increasing mind activity and therefor the polar opposite of the mechanics and experience of a guided mediation

It is ok that you feel that way. As you go a little deaper, it may grow on you. The view that I have taken from his teachings is that your life, always, is a meditation, or rather any meditation is a sign post to the feeling of oneness with all that is. I often feel such a presents every time Eckhart says the same thing over and over again. To me it is such a powerful and simple but radical thing.
