- In this video, Eckhart explores the idea that true satisfaction in life goes beyond material possessions. He emphasizes the importance of connecting to a peaceful inner state to fully enjoy life's experiences, regardless of one's surroundings. Eckhart also discusses how true abundance originates from an internal state of Being, rather than external wealth.

The more you can live without, the richer you are.
Check this guys net worth and how much is he charging for his TV and stuff.

Eckhart had an extraordinary enlightenment that completely changed his life. His book The Power of Now completely changed my life.
The Power of Now!
Enlightenment is not a "one time only" event; and it's not a "one size fits all" even either. When one experiences the beginning stages of enlightenment, one has to nuture and cultivate it, and continue to expand it. What does an enlightened entity do??? She/he does what one always does.......chops wood and caries water. Obviously it's more complex than that, however, We think you get the point. In essence we become what we already are. Namaste.🙏😊
This man deserves the whole world 🌎 I love him so dearly for waking me up to the truth ❤️
So true, you can’t find happiness in things. I find the most happiness helping people, especially my children and grandchildren children. Just spending time with them is pure joy.
This is amazingly good. The other trap in life, is to feel you have to have things, to not be a loser and belong to group. I have a lovely local park to go to, which is my little garden of Versailles. Ok, I don't own it, on a title, but I'm only temporary anyways so there's no point.
Agreed! Even if we paid money for it, we still don’t own it .
i once read a quote cannot remember it exactly, something like:
we are all temporary workers,
driving our rental cars from our motel rooms to our temp jobs & back again..
I always think that too. If it was tour garden you'd have to trim the hedges and plant the flowers! I live in the countryside where there are no parks unfortunately but I like to pretend I own everything or that it's mine in a way like the cows and hills and houses around me. It makes me feel good to feel like it's my village in a way. And it's also nice to think that I live like a medievil king. When I don't have any money or something I sometimes think oh no...but then I remember I have nettles in the garden and I usually do have enough money to buy an onion and make nettle soup and I think haha look at my fancy cooker and my fancy porcelain plates how I live like a king couldn't even dream in a medievil time! 😂
@@chickadeeacres3864or have to mow the lawn😂
The same feeling with "my beach" near home.
Only 5 minutes walking.
I don t have money to travel but i feel so rich there, I cant believe my luck 🌊✨🙂

Thanks Mr. Tolle for this video!
Possessions that are used to create or do something like a fishing rod, guitar, camera or a tennis racket are great. But a $10k watch keeps the same time as a $250 watch. Your possessions can own you if you are not careful.
That's so true 🙏❤️
this guy has like 80 million, would he give half of it to help others? no way
Since I recognized my negative relationship with money, the anxiety it causes, I become more easygoing, even though It’s a phase in my life when money is lacking. I feel now that it will come to me, especially as I found tremendous inner peace since I’ve detected this negative mental conception within.
Joy arises neither from inside nor from outside but from nowhere. Nowhere is everywhere.
Many thanks! I remember years ago you speaking about your need to step away from urban sprawl after you experienced the shift you experienced. I'm finding as I get older, I long to leave the city - I long for nature. Appreciate you!
New pilgrim: go for it. Cities are designed to keep us occupied, to keep us away from nature. Cities will continue to decline, at least in America, so if your desire is to go to the countryside, go for it. Plenty of farm help/gardening help needed.....
I could listen to him all day
Best first book ever read 🌟 THE POWER OF NOW 🌟
It is ALWAYS now
The 🎁 of the present
Great book!
It is the dream of form...and if you recquinise for what it is then you free!!!! You don't take seriously, do not react , nothing stays for ever...❤❤❤❤ Just Love.
Buddha spoke of this never ending unsatiated desire for possessions. It ruins the soul , I believe was what he said. It becomes a never ending saga.
Very True money will give you comfort but no happiness!
When I'm comfortable I'm happy too.
We can treat life like viewing a beautiful art gallery. We can appreciate all of the art and the beauty without having to own the peices and take them home. Treat every day like you are on an exclusive tour exploring the most fantastic art gallery that is only on display for this very present moment before it becomes something new that is equally beautiful and abundant next
I treat life like an ever passing landscape of horror, suffering and inescapable torture.
Pure wisdom. God bless you 🙏
Non attachment is the goal ❤
Wow, thank you so much for the wise words, and yes, I think most of us have too much going on about prosperity, which I also think is given to us when we let go of this, and I think it really covers that we just want to be loved, then we are safe and then we don't need this prosperity at all, I think, so I think I just let go and say, dear God, I want to feel your love and I let myself be loved by God
I remembered cleaning a home for a lady and she kept trying to give me things I always declined her gifts 🎁 I completely missed the point her things were so important to her and I now realize that I offended her by not accepting her stuff I admire beautiful things but honestly I'm quite content with the basics 😊
Thats it You accept it for her sake not yours 😊❤
Gifts!
Some people are so poor all they have is money 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wish I were poor that way ahahha
You are so kind to us. We appreciate it very much.
Genius explanation, thank you, so clear
If you live in a inland town in England in the north , it is horrendous . Traffic non stop ,no nature around at all , no birds singing ,no rivers , just concrete pavements , and rows of terrace houses . If you can afford to escape for 2 days on the coast the difference you feel is amazing .
Nature!
Great teaching, great lesson, wealth is not so much important as all true scriptures says.
Thanks Eckhart! 💜
Gratitude!
Im grateful for your genuine sharing and guidance.
💕 SO enjoy listening to Eckhart Tolle and appreciate him so much 💕
I love you Eckhart
Thank you, Eckhart. Peace and love. 🙏
Love from the inside and share your wealth...your spiritual wealth. It's hard to describe in words...but you want to build abundance for others because we are all one.
Oneness!
Gratitude
So much to think about here. Thank you 🙏
Merci beaucoup pour vos enseignements ils sont précieux M TOLLE 🙏
That adults are enamored by things blows my mind.
Money will not give you happiness. Money can give you comfort.
I think a happy man doesn't worry about money...he doesn't worry about not being able to pay bills, and doesn't worry about always wanting more money... it's just not something he has to worry about either way.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am also awakened to 'The Source' and it is certainly like this for me. This is a much needed understanding about Creating Abundance that has now been beautifully clarified in Truth. Much Love
Regards, thank you, spot on
I am poor and I am happy no matter what because I found Christ Consiousness and God does in fact take care of my every need as long as I do not doubt. I have always believed that money and spirituality do not belong together but it took me years to figure these things out and it was very difficult. I was one of those people who went through constant stress and struggles. It is so easy to say you can stay peaceful without money when you have millions.
Christ C
love this man.
Thank You
What an incredible person..
But a better business man.
@@RandallRKOThere is No such thing as a person. Plus I hope he makes $100k + per month
The man is helping human beings become enlightened to what is the most important thing to have freedom
Beautiful!!!
So present.
Great video, love and light to you my friend... If anyone happens to read this... remember, your potential knows no bounds. Keep pushing forward with unwavering determination. - ButterflyAwakening 🦋
Wow ! What an eye opening video
The best things in life are not 'things'❤
I wrote about this mental wealth, I called it, our happiness well. It must be kept full to give us a reason to be happy. But, filling the happiness well brought debt. Because, to be happy things that will best give us days, maybe weeks of happiness feels good. But, it creates its own stress and worry about how to afford the payment for the short-term happiness. So, we end up being depressed or anxious about debt incurred by feeding what turns out to be the feeding of our egos. So, again our we're identifying with form, we're not making ourselves happy only the ego gets happy, while we the authentic us gets the bill for it. I also call this the the circle of life. We're not needing or wanting anything, but our egos do, and we can't see that our unhappiness is due to the ego, which we identify as being self. Ego can play the part of individuals so well that even the individual can't tell that it's ego, not self...
Thank You!🙏😔🕊
Thank you
You saved me today. Thank you 😊
So agree and so grateful for these free videos you provide, because your in-person training and even your online courses are not anywhere close to the average persons budget, I did save and pay over One Thousand dolors for one of your on line courses…seems all the spiritual people are also cashing in on the need for more and more money…I get it we all need to make a living, but wow in one of my classes there was over 1000 people online with me watching you, that to me would be equivalent of many many days of work…
Discount!
My thoughts too sometimes, but then I remember that there's also enough free stuff available, and I can then shift into gratitude 😊. Cheers.
Thank you 😊 Thank you 😊 😘 I love you 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
🙏 Dear Eckhart, I like your cleverly wise way of explaining 🙏. You are a master of words 💜✨🕊️🙏. I live in a nature 🌱 at the edge of a city. It is Freedom to choose 😊🎶💃🍀🙏. I love the big game of Life 💞🌎✨🙏. With Love and Gratitude, you must be my Soul family 💞💫☀️♥️🙏. Wishing you happy days 🍀🍀🍀🙏
Wealth and health is what I want and aim for nothing else
Moula and health!
Wonderful
Tough message for a consumerist culture but very necessary
For my dear Eck,
Hi and... thank you so much.
From 2.
Awesome messages and appreciate Eckhart's sense of humor.
Personally I prefer to be present i the now and to be the vibration of joy in the now so that I attract shiny new objects that bring joy, or be the vibration of the peace of nature and guess what, I attracted a great place to live surrounded by The Catskills Wilderness area. Things are just things and are temporary but happiness is an inner state that can be cultivated and then we attract those temporary things that match our state of energy. Very important lesson often lacking in main stream Law of Attraction teachings. Joe Dispenza teaches this too. Namaste
Well said. We are blessed to have Joe and Eckhardt ..
@@SIERRATREES Indeed we are. 2 of my all time favorite teachers. When I read “The Power of Now” in 2000 it changed my life. i healed from lifelong condition doctors said I’d never heal from using Dr. Joe’s principles so as they say, the proof is in the pudding.
It came at the right time for me! Such wisdom! thank you
Thank you for watching.
Wisdom!
Aman Always tolle!!. Very greatful Ever. 💯💝🙏😌
Easy for you to say
Fullness of life thanks to
6:45
Fundamentally, abundance is getting in touch with source of life within, and recognise it’s who you are.
Then you enjoy the play of forms.
Experience abundance of experiencing life.
Thanks Eckhart. 21 March 2024. 💡🏃😇🐥😇🐥🚀🔔⛳️
Thanks
Thank you for supporting.
Almost 80 and looking allways the same guy🎉
Man is cursed by his desire to want want and want.
We dont only want what we have but what others have.
Speaking for me i was conditioned to want living in a material world, just look at Christmas as a child.
Im now 70, im glad i have a home, its a basic need, but money doesnt satisfy me, it doesnt bring me peace.
I thought i knew so much, now realise I dont.
More!
@CJRelationshipConsulting well it's not only physical possessions but sometimes even a 4elationship can be seen as physical possession.
The notion that if you have limitless money will mean you will be permanently happy is foolishness
There are four myths about happiness
Humans ought to be happy all the time
If your not happy, then you're defective
You should not have negative thoughts
We can control how we think and feel.
This is from a book entitled The Happiness Trap by Doctor Russ Harris.
So getting back to my original statement we love happiness but happiness is always transient, it comes and goes and often by chance.
So we buy a fix, a car etc, a guitar we envy etc.
When I hit puberty I realise how much some of my school mistresses made me feel, one day I rubbed the bottle that held the genie and the genie popped out.
As I got older I thought happiness could be permanently procured through marriage to a woman, in someways this is true but of course ,arrange is hard work, I know I have been married 44 years nor.
However it is still to easy to have the desire to consume, perhaps If I got a later model with more go I can restore happiness.
A man who has never had a fantasy over a another woman doesn't exist.
However I have never cheated on her physically and never would ut the male desire was always there.
If consumerism brought happiness then the rich and famous would be permanently happy.
We all believe the lies of fairytale and Hollywood.
And so The princess married the princess and they all lived happily ever after.
Well Charles married the beautiful fairy Tale princess Diana but of course he really love the dominatrix Mistress Camilla.
Diana died, Charles married his mistress and now has Cancer.
So much for fairytale.
I feel this way when I go through antique stores...I really enjoy looking at all the stuff...and then leaving it there! haha...really, I have no (or very little) need to possess the stuff. I just enjoy looking at it, and it's actually easier to not possess it.
When I finally got the home I had been dreaming of for a long time through manifestation, I didn't want anymore more and more. I am happy and grateful every day in my home. It gives me a good feeling and security all the time. Is there something wrong with me? Have I done something wrong? 🤔
Is my happiness about this material wrong?
Nothing wrong with that either, only to give the ego a sense of temporary satisfaction. True gratitude is when appreciate the fullness of life at this present moment. What can you be grateful for right NOW? not the material things you have, im talking about the aliveness that surround you wherever you go. You can start by acknowledging your sense perceptions.
So a homeless person who is hungry gets real happiness by admiring flowers, because he excludes his own ego and the feeling of hunger.
Thank you thank you thank you sir

Thank you for watching.
Eckhart Tolle's Net Worth....... $70-80 Million. He must be doing something right.😳
I believe he is born from god like any of us
I don’t get either one of your points. Eckhart was homeless and sat on a park bench for two years. Odd jobs, etc. He was compelled to write The Power of Now. The book is the best selling spiritual book…etc. Trust me. He’s the real deal. Pay attention, get present and watch your life change and abundance comes…

Earthly desires lead to enlightment. I think one must taste, learn to grow...
Dear Eckhart, you are not only a great teacher, but also an excellent actor. ❤😊🙏👍
yes, his subtle inflections & story telling is perfect, & makes it look effortless..☻️
I love it when he giggles!
I trust that's not "acting"
@@zovalentine7305 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
He is also an amazing hypocrite. According to Celebrity Net Worth, in 2023, Tolle posted a net worth of $70 millions. He was charging $20 a month on Hulu, which is a lot, and then puts some of that to his foundation for image. Then there is the fact that a lot of what he says is deprived of reason. People falling for him without paying attention to what he says and to how he lives compared to what he preaches.
@@sorellman I don't like listening to arguments without counterarguments.
Growing up whenever someone came to my house and said they liked something, my mom would give it to them. lol! I think us kids on the surface just thought she was silly or crazy. But on some level, it gave me a deep peace that listening to this also gives me. 🙏🏼
Your mom sounds selfless.. lovely 🙏🏼
Generosity!
IDK, I have a 2 year old son and we rent in an economy where rent is virtually unaffordable so I am pretty keen to build some financial wealth so I can buy a material house for my family. Would be great not to have these fears and needs.
I believe that the reason many people are in this situation is because the system of global governance is so designed against us working class people. I believe that the chaos we're seeing in the world is the end of an era of legal slavery if I can call it that. I really believe that we're growing up as a collective, and we're going to be more caring and compassionate towards each other going forward, and we're going to get rid of the system of governments that have been enslaving us for the benefit of a few . Do the best you can, create the best you can . This too shall pass. Cheers.
Easier said, than done. Try to live normally, happy life if there is a shortage of bread and butter on your table, or if You get bailiffs on your back all the time. It's absolutely true in today's world. We don't live in an Amish community, so face the reality. In today's world money is a medicine, and Yes, it does bring happiness.
Interesting to note although, money pays the bills etc, it fails to bring us lasting joy. It does however, highlight the need to look within where all true happiness lies 🙏🏼
Look in!
You need to connect with the source
Not depend of the environment to feel peaceful
Source!
Tony, learn this.
Addicted to live hasnt been a cliche for very long i suppose❤
❤
🙏❤️
i mean.. wouldnt it be great if you were so rich that you have all the time in the world to meditate, eat delicious food, read all the books about spirituality and sleep whenever you want to? im not in it for the material things.. but some things in life cant be pursued if your mind is pre occupied with work, financial instability, lack of time etc
That’s rubbish. If you have all the money in your life very few people will realise their true potential. You grow and evolve only when you are challenged and not in being comfortable. Even in chaos or running around of daily life find 30-40 minutes for yourself and connect to your inner self, meditate, do yoga and breathing exercises and then see the difference. You can’t say that when everything is perfect only then I will start my spiritual journey. Your mind is in constant thinking pattern you just have to get hold of it.
@@Rsinha702 having all the money in the world doesnt mean there is no more challenge. See the great ones neville, allan watts, eckhart they say material things arent important and yet all of them are filthy rich
How about the maslow pyramid? The top is creativity, expression, morality. Freedom from needs freedom with as osho would say, to recognize your free is not enough, to participate in the play means being creative and being creative entails sharing and making of stuff; yet the sauce can be lost again and the making of stuff could be just a fever pitch repeated. One can easily read text or a video message, but to really allow is different. My parents are rich and when i went living on myself i destroyed all my possessions even my bed. My only possession was a mattress. I felt free from then because society before always pushed me to be a compulsive ego and a compulsive status possession chaser. But society came after me and money poured in, and again things went from nothing to a house full stuff. I ended up with interior design and art instead of destroying everything. When i destroyed everything people claimed i needed to ‘recognize the social standard of stuff that needs to be owned to be recognized as normal’ xp what a world
Amen needed this today. 😢 My only strength is Jesus he has carried these past few years. I don’t want pity just sharing my testimony. I’m living with lupus and heart disease. I have two beautiful sons both are special needs even though I’m struggling to support my children I praise God and keep faith. He is the God of possible. Jesus hear my prayers.
