Wow
Who Am I? I am not a body..a name.... I am energy....SPIRIT and when you're thinking you're not connecting and when your're connecting you're not thinking. So I practice my meditation and presence to the point where I lose self-identity and self-importance..in that moment of presence I'm not my name, my job, my (programmed) identity...I am SPIRIT...immortal and one with all life, all being...THAT IS WHERE THE MAGIC BEGINS!
I know this is true...
@@kingskid1985 Thank you 🙏
Is not the universe unfolding and experiencing exactly how it should, it hasn't made a mistake so are we not doing exactly what we should be doing right now be you unconscious or conscious, if so are horrors like the holocaust ment to be?
🤔🤷♂️
@@paulmuaddib3470 No the Holocaust was not to be. It was some Evil “ completely “unconscious “ sub humans who did that!
@@paulmuaddib3470 hi Paul we and everything obviously got here somehow and equally obviously we are all an unbreakable part of that reason for there being everything rather than nothing at all. All the atrocities commited by the human race throughout our history are 100% down to our unaware over or under inflated human egos, part of the evolution of our species is surely to evolve beyond such collective insanity and learn to consciously live beyond our egos rather than be unconsciously be controlled by them. We are definitely the result of the reason for everything but our decisions, choices and behaviour are definitely down to us and our ability to think and act consciously, compassionately, logically, rationally and lovingly 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our thoughts are like buses, just because one happens to appear it doesn't mean we have to get on board with it and let it take us on a journey we don't wish to go on. Knowing we are not our thoughts gives us the choice to go where the thought is going or let pass us by without interest. There are no buses that need to traveled on and equally there are no thoughts that need to be thought about 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great analogy!
Who are at our Essence, is Conscious Witness, and Observer. We are not our thoughts. When we identify with our thoughts and lose ourselves in the chaos of the world, we become the chaos, effectively forgetting who we are. This creates a deep experience of suffering and ungroundedness where we forget our True Nature, which is Peace . Great video as always Eckhart . Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day 🙏
That is beautifully put. Thank you.
You are not the body, mind or thoughts, but the awareness of the body, mind or thoughts.
The ego is a mere habitual, malleable mind construct based on conditioning.
after several months of awakening, and naturally practicing presence of Now everyday, last night when i were laying down on my bed, everything shifted again, i am not only perceiving a particular things as they are but there is this decent awareness of being illuminated by the presence of Love in everythings, the floor, carpet, cats, tv, desk fan, speaker, everything became precious, i saw an ant and in a flash i felt the ant is me, everything was like that, but this decent awareness is like a frequency, it depends on my bussiness in my daily life, if just sit for 20 minutes this decent oneness would illuminate me again and i felt complete and felt everythings was perfect, in this state of or moment i naturally unable to judge or compare, because everything is equal, every emotions that is not on the same frequency are not available at all, like anger, especially.
What makes me happy is that when i think about someone who are hurt or maybe disliking me for some reason, i would say i forgive you while opening my awareness of his/her presence in this Now moment, immediately i felt heard and connected to his/her eternal being and accepted my love., I have a realization here that everything was cured and forgiveness are already accepted and purified by love, what left is the ego's in particular person but because he/she had been healed or forgiven on spiritual level, his/her physical state would follow afterwards, so there is nothing to worry anymore.
Thanks, Eckhart. I resonate deeply with this talk. I was addicted to my thoughts and took my thoughts as facts. When I discovered that I had thoughts, but I wasn't my thoughts. If I'm not my thoughts, who am I? Awareness, Consciousness, Perfect Spirit. When I knew this, all my five "incurable" diseases went away.
I too have labeled as having uncurable illnesses. I would love to hear your story!
@@FreshAgenda I have lots of videos about healing ourselves, plus I give away e copies of my first book. If you're alive, then all things are possible.
But isn't it difficult to be aware or conscious 24/7 of your thoughts and emotions ?
@@pushkarbhandari7676 it can be until you know beyond doubt that you are consciousness, Spirit. thoughts/felt thoughts(emotions) have no power over you. My shift was quick, like Eckharts. For some. it's a practice to stay fully in this moment.
That is the biggest learning for me. I am not my thoughts!
I thought my thoughts are inseparable part of me.
Somehow, I believed thoughts and spirit are the same thing, because they aren’t material
I have been following the teachings of Eckhart Tolle since 2013 after going through a shocking and painful divorce at 27 years-old, which shook "my world" and reality as I knew it. All of a sudden, I was alone in the US, without family and friends - I had very little emotional support and had to learn how to rebuild "my life" on my own. The loneliness and disorientation I felt were intense, Eckhart Tolle's teachings was all I had, so I leaned into it heavily, listening to it every day in my solitude and finding comfort in his voice and in the truth I sensed in his teachings. 9 years later, after a difficult journey of uncovering a lot of unconsciousness (the divorce was just the beginning) my life has transformed - I remarried a wonderful man who is kind, loving, patient and we practice spirituality and work on our unconsciousness together, I have started my dream and vision of becoming a spiritual wellbeing coach with a focus on Eckhart's teachings, and my dream of moving to Portugal is finally coming true. I don't want to focus on the "outer layer" only and don't want to give the impression that life is now perfect, we all know this is not the nature of reality. There is still unconsciousness, but more often than not I am aware of it shortly after, so I'm able to let go and not create suffering. I continue to practice presence since I know anything I experience in the world of form is temporary and will eventually dissolve - I want to be cautious not to develop strong attachments to the world of form after manifesting the life that I always wanted. I felt the truth in my bones in everything that Eckhart teaches, but to have put it to the test (how he says it himself), and to now experience and see the truth for myself has been transformational - it has deepened my presence and trust in it, and it is incredibly liberating to feel connected to source throughout normal daily life. Thank you, Eckhart.. I am infinitely and forever grateful for your teachings
Thank you for sharing dear. I am feeling happy to read your story
I acknowledge the space I am in and know the Universe is partnered with me at this time and in all time. I allow myself to move into the feeling of choices with the knowledge that all is unfolding for my own highest and best.
I would LOVE to see and hear a discussion between Eckhart Tolle and Jordan Peterson... especially related to identity and ego topics
You are a lifeline for this person full of anxiety. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and humor.
Love this, Eckhart. We all need to be reminded of this from time to time 😊💜
Sending Positive energy to all, to Ekchart sir and to all. 🕉️
WHY DO I LISTEN TO THIS GUY ??? Because HE is AWESOME AND EDUCATIONAL in many ways...thx.
Namaste❤🙏🕊️God bless you always Brother.❤🙌🙏
ET is keeping it simple ....with a touch of humour , for an actually complex issue of living life .... remarkable !
The clarity of Eckhart is so inspirational, every word truly resonates and has meaning.
Thank you for Serving ❤
Eckhart is a blessing to this world. 🌄
The last few lines hit me real hard, considering our world these days.
So good talk.
Collective victim identity!
Where else you can hear about it!
Thank you very much, for this moment.🌸🙏🤗🕊
agree Mr.Tolle....who you are - Space, silence and if I may add...Peace....inner Peace. Everything else outside is subject to duality.. just like with the body, as you said...experience from both ends during the life... All external experiences are subject to duality - warm-cold, plus-minus, heavy-light, good-bad...etc...we can go deeper or shallower...🖐
Thank you so much for your openness and clear explanation that victim identity seems to give energy (you can drown in it and use it) but is very powerless in the sense of giving the power to others by blaming them for a fact that happened. You yourself though are responsible for your own reaction to that fact, whatever it may be. With the responsibility "and so" choice of your reaction to whatever atrocety may have happened you take back your power. The outer world is a reflection/mirror of your inner world. So you can heal and find the power within you working on yourself.... not on the fact but your reaction to it.
Wishing you all the blessings 🙏
Just Consciousness. 🙏
The collective victim identity- is the new brotherhood of man. United and determined they Bravely and proudly standing up, to confront the shadow they cast themselves. lol And selfie is a must! you look your best when you protesting against something that hunts you down lol lol. Love you Eckhart
Much gratitude for you Eckhart, your body, mind and spirit!
All that is needed is : Utmost Gratitude for this , and All your teachings Mr. Tolle ❤️🩹! Respectfully , and Warm Regards ,
Just another fan 👵🫶👏👏👏!
This deserves at least 500,000,000 views.
Thank you so much. you made me realised by reading your book power of now , how our mind plays game with us in every moment and makes us unhappy. Thank you so much for your insights..
I love hearing him speak about identification with appearance. I would love to see more videos of him talking about this
thank you Eckhart for awakening millions of people around the world ❤
Eckhart Tolle does no awakening in anyone.
Awakening happens within.
@@mikeq5807 yes sure, he helps us to know how to be focused on the Now, and that's make us awaken!
@@ConsultancybyTS You awaken as a result of a realization within you.
Awakening is not the result of following a how-to guide.
I agree. And they can be more subtle. You can identify as a good person, good mother, etc.
I seek the space I need to breathe. I am that I am, and am what I am and make no apology for that.
Very helpful and authentic. Thanks for sharing
Ομορφυνες την ημέρα που ξημέρωσε .
Σε ευχαριστώ .
Θα τα επεξεργαστώ όλα όσα άκουσα όσο πιο βαθιά γίνεται.
Έχεις την εκτίμηση μου εδώ κ πολλά χρόνια.
Very well explained. Absolutely amazing❤
Thank you for your wisdom and your healing energy for the world Eckhart! 🙏💫
Of course we can think and be aware of the silent space. There is no doubt about it.
Of course we cannot get very deep in the Silence since part of the attention must be directed to the thought process.
It's a wonderful irony that when we look at/peer into/behold the physical body, through Love's eyes, that body/person/being is Beauty-filled.... it is a" namaste" in action.
Wow I love this.. so much wisdom in just a few short mins. Everyone needs to hear this.. ❤
3.30:"..the most important realization,so essential ,don't know why they don't teach that at school,or university.,is that there are two dimensions to your identity...❤
These comments are so uplifting and reflective! I love it
I love new videos on a Tuesday 💙
awesome words of wisdom from
a true master teacher Thankyou 💗🙏
I appreciate this teaching, thank you
It’s funny you can’t really learn about the universe at university. Thank you Mr Tolle. Genius is such a small perception next to what you bring. Thank you.
15:20 very interesting and powerful truth.
Of course you can. There are classes on philosophy, mysticism, and anything you can want at larger universities.
Appreciation Master Tolle 🌹 💫
So beautifully explained! 🙌love it❤
So very appreciative of this 💖✨️
Gratitude
Let's gooo Eckhart!! You're awesome🔥🔥
Basically. Have a personality and gain wisdom that will last an entire lifetime.
Thank you so much!
Awareness is Aware
I really love this guy
Thank you.very much, Eckhart. 🙏😊🐬
Thanks so much for sharing very important bless you 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕🌿🌴🌿☘️
I have become very emotional and have had a rough life and I can say, enough. I will not be a victim anymore.
Thank you Eckhart!🙏♥️
Tolle reminds me of who I really am, and what is only surface. Thats seems obviuous, but are hard to realize. Takes practise. My brain is filled with thoughts that prevent me from who I really am. Thats an old habit, that I am reminded about 24/7, when in contact with most other people. Wonder how you are managing that challenge, when you ask the same question like me.
Thank you
Oh I love this humor!
As for as i was criticising the sound qualitity in some older talks i was happy for a few seconds that an investment in a modern looking microphone seems to have been done. But sorryly now only the sound quality of the noise is better. And now not only the words are distorted but the silence between the word is destroyed. The questions arises:can ego create noise? Good question. Maybe investing in better technic does not help, but a sound check before with a young person can. Never mind . and in some cases cables can be black as they have been always.

We are all about appearances, always have been but beyond the ridiculous now with the advent of camera phones. I do feel sad seeing so much attachment by people to their appearance and their possessions 😢
Finally got what he meant by conditioned mind.. amazing. I was so fed up, I believe you can't get that unless you are really fed up.
, How did you feel being fed up with the conditioned mind ?
@@ഈശോ_മിശിഹാ_കരുണയും_സ്നേഹവുമാണ് It was a year ago so from what I remember, you wake up out of suffering from the conditioned mind. I don’t remember that feeling I am talked about a year ago. Thanks for the concern.
@@elabelnaturel1977 , Thanks for sharing your experience. 🙏
I sometimes wonder about ego associated to feeling of superiority emanating from feelings of being an-enlightened person.
He mentions in other talks, Ego finds ways to creep in :)
@@servicespost6862 thanks, i must look up those talks . But i suspect that perhaps it could stand to be an ultimate trap
So satisfying 🙏🏾🙏🏽👐🙌💜💜
Is there a way to attend some of your sessions please? I live in Toronto and visits Irvine, CA often. Thank you very much. Your teachings are greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
Adopting a victim identity is as if you've given up and started to blame the circumstances, thus justifying your passivity.
Beautiful video 🤩
Love you so much🙏
I can't believe this man is 74. The light and presence eminates from him.
You told us a lot about physical identity but I still would like to know more about who I really am. I am bombarded by explanations of the ego at work but I hear so little beyond that. Maybe I am too unwoke to get it. Maybe I can only hear that part. 😔
ASK your higher self while in a quiet space. SEEK information and be discerning of what is Truth for you. FIND gratitude, love yourself and be of Service to others. Focus on Joy and the many positive happenings around you, look past the news and negativity. If you haven't read books by Eckhart Tolle, many of us would suggest you start there. All blessings and SMILES to you! 😁
@@OkieJammer2736 THANK YOU.
Hi Linda, in my opinion, you are you and not your mind and the thoughts and feelings it produces. All we have to do is ask ourselves " do i want these thoughts and feelings I'm experiencing? If the thoughts and feelings are of (anger, fear, judgment anxiety, jealousy, greed " and the answer is no, then that is who you really are, if you are experiencing thoughts and feelings of ( love, happiness, compassion, fun gratitude trust and acceptance) and the answer is" yes i definitely want these thoughts and feelings " then this too is part of who you really are. We are not our minds and the thoughts it produces for us, we are the one who agrees or disagrees with our minds and the thoughts and feelings they produce, in my opinion, if any of this makes sense 😊🙏🙏🙏
Who you are is love, peace, light, compassion.
@@tiijaay11 thank you.
You need inner space of awareness to notice the silent space. 💖🐧
Everyone's essence is awareness, consciousness, or silent presence.
The most important question is your identity. Know thyself. 😇🐛🦋
Conditioned people only know form identity.
They either overpower others with strength and beauty, or outsmart others with knowledge and status. But form identity is ultimately miserable. Then some fall into victimhood, life is so unfair.
Group victimhood has become popular. It's collective unconsciousness.🌿🕊🐦
Thanks Eckhart. 28 September 2022.🐛🦋🐦🌷🌴🕊💖🐢🍁🎯🌹🌿🐘
Could you talk more about victim identity?
Just starting to get good when you cut it off LOL
I am not worry what I look like, I am!
I love it ❤️ true, big true 🙏
thank you! 🙏💕
my thoughts go out to those in the audience who were coughing in agony apparently as tolle shared wisdom.
I love knowing that I am.
What is Aware of the Presence of this Perception, appearing and disappearing.
I 'go to sleep every night with him'....hahhahha.....i really love Eckhart Tolle
true and if 20 years or 30 passes and they are rarely the same they change completely no one is immune to time time passes for all of us
Wonderful!! 👉🙏
I think that this " presence " that a lot of people say they are is just another form of ego. These teachings say there is no " you " ... it's not so beautyfull as a lot of people write, it's the end of any sense of self :(
So nice 😁 when Eckart Tolle Is talking about the technology and the 🤳 🤣
Thanks as usual!! 🙏❤️
i agree that the victim identity is very seductive to the ego. all the victim wants is an excuse that justifies the injustices to feel better, he wants to blame the circumstances that failed to make him feel good even tho he can fix it all. nobody is that stuck, there's always a way out, and mostly it'll be uncomfortable
Where can I find the full video of this ET talk? Its really helping me shift my form identity 🙏😭🌿
Love this ☺️❤️🙏
I would rather be an old man with a strong musculoskeletal system than a weak one. Now that I think of it, I am very identified with the body because I wouldn't exist without it.
I have used all those ego identities.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and yes.!!!!!!
He's got us taped! I think it's very hard NOT to identify with the body form. I'm 60 and happy with my body and face. I'm awakened too. So how do I get into a relationship with a man? 😂This is a big problem nowadays for older awakened women.

We are what me constantly do. Actions
But being spiritual is also dangerous no? I always tend to pick up other people's thoughts and feelings very quickly. I would like to have some kind of filter but i realised it doesnt work. The more awaken i am in the moment, the more quickly u tend to pick up other people's thoughts and emotions because i become very sensitive. Is there something that u can do, that i dont everytime pick this feelings up??

"If this video marks the first time you've felt your sense of egoic selfhood get challenged, it can be both an exhilarating and terrifying experience"
Yah, that brings back memories. It was literally like being found and pulled out of your battery cell pod for the dogs, corporations and religions to seek and destroy.
But what about the state of not knowing who you are, having a poor sense of self? This often comes from.trauma particularly.neglect or being treated as insignificant in contrast to siblings etc. This is damage and it's hard to.navigate life and make decisions when you do 't know who you are and what you want.
