I've had dogs and loved them all. There was one... when she looked at me and I looked into her eyes, I knew that there was 'someone' in there. She's still with me, even though her body died just over a year ago.
I have a dog like that right now. He is over 13. Very special little fella. His name is Ferguson. When I got him and his brother as puppies. I set with him and felt I could connect my feelings with something inside the dogs spirit. Almost like passed life signatures or echoes. I stayed with this feeling as I asked out the question. "What is your name?" Instantly I was told FERGUSON. It fit him perfect. I love him so much. Watching him age and get sick is very hard. He has had cancer 2 times. Both times a paid cash for a vet to try to save his life with surgery. Both times that 15 pound giant of a heart made it. He fought. But what really got him through was his love for me. And equally the love I have for him. And how much he knew I was right there with him. We had some very terrifying nights battling sickness. The deepness behind his eyes are the closest thing I have seen and felt to a human being. His brother is also a great dog. But I kinda have a feeling maybe Ferguson is due to "transcend" after his brave little life of this round is done. I really hurt so intensely when I think of the day I have to see him go. And going on 14 I guess I just feel blessed that we still have good days together and he is enjoying life and in good health after fighting for so long.
@Ron Price I'm sure all dogs go to heaven, and maybe all are reincarnated? Ferguson and his brother are special souls. ❤️ As individuals, we connect more strongly with some, but don't shortchange his brother; he has much to share! ❤️ ❤️
I always like to fantasize about this: Everything we see, hear, smell, feel or taste is mediated by our brains. But that doesn't mean there cannot be a whole universe outside of our brain, a universe that the brain simply cannot translate into senses. So, if the brain (and body) dies, maybe we finally sense that whole universe again, instead of the very, very low resolution universe we are sensing now. Who knows....:)
Very beautiful thought.. hope this is true. I don't know why everyone fears death. Maybe just because the aftermath is uncertain. Who knows there maybe even a better outcome there? Why keep negative ideas or be anxious? Just let it be 😊
Exactly Bro ! Ain't nobody got time for that ! It's the people who dosen't do much and contribute nothing to society and just sit around staring at a wall all day , those people are the ones that have the time to wonder if there is life after death and all that stuff ! Like get a life bro ! LoL
@@EnlightenedCarnivore I totally agree, all explinations are purely a mind stories to explain what none of us can possible know. Knowing what we don't know and accepting what none of us can not possibly know is probably the greatest wisdom there is.
When I went to my dad's funeral, I approached the open casket and looked down at his body. I wasn't sad when I looked at his face. Instead I had this feeling or knowing that it was just an empty carcass. He wasn't there anymore. There's some kind of energy or presence that is no longer there. It looked empty and lifeless as a wax figure mannequin at a museum. I didn't cry. But I was sad his presence was gone. But about one week later, I received a youtube notification that someone with my dad's full name just subscribed to me. I thought that was very coincidental. But I've learned since from spiritual teachings that there are no coincidences. I asked famous Near Death Experiencer Anita Moorjani what she thought of my experience. She said, she was sure it was my dad communicating with me, that he just wanted to say that he was alright.
Absolutely, your dad is gone from your world but I think very likely you will see him again. You can read my comment a few above yours for a couple ideas about all of this. My mom died in 2020, and as corny as this sounds, I saw a rainbow that afternoon after hearing the news. I know that was symbolic and also not a coincidence. Also the night before she died, a song came into my head that I had not heard in years, by Peter Gabriel "Into the sun". He wrote it as a tribute for Lady Diana after she passed. Anyway I know that song popping into my head was not a coincidence either. Part of the chorus to it is "May God's love be with you, always". I think we all need to hear and believe in that.
Don't fall for such ads. Just like me, you might have googled "Anita .."whatever. This is the new kind of ad on online platforms. Just click on TH-cam > Report > spam or unnecessary commercial content. These people pry on mostly anxious and vulnerable people mostly like us here.
I had a similar experience . When my grandpa passed and I went to his viewing before cremation, I was staring at him and I had an overwhelming knowing that this is not my grandpa. He wasn’t in there. I kept repeating to myself in my head “Where are you Olli? You are not in there anymore.” That is how I explained it to my friends too, is that I could feel absolutely no energy coming from the body anymore. I expected to feel some connection to the body still. I had a deep realization that our body is just a shell that is carrying around our consciousness until we die . We (true self) are separate from the body. It made me go deep with realizations I didn’t have before.
I’ve been a therapist since 2002- In 2011 I had a client that was super depressed and 20min into the session I experienced this overwhelming LOVING beaming energy surging through every cell in my body. Then I had a telepathic communication that stated . “ I am a family relative that has passed Away and I Am here to love and support Him”- Him being my client on my table. I asked him if he had any relatives that have passed. He said yes my father. In that moment I was shown that we never stop existing!! And that we are truly magnificent beings! That are dearly loved!! Ego and dogma tells you that this innate essence of who you see is just your ego. It’s the strongest delusion!!!
Science does not and never will have an answer for this, because science relies only on things which are tangible or can be measured. There is no microscope that has ever looked at a slide of evidence of "love", but we all know it exists. Anyway nice story, thanks for sharing. Peace and blessings!
@@johns7530 I like to use that analogy as well when someone questions all my experiences cause I’ve had a lot that scientist can’t explain. But allow me to share something else… when I studied anatomy and physiology they taught us that 98% of our DNA is “JUNK” . Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what a lie that must be.
@@Msenlightened1 sorry meant to say thanku for sharing ur experience I'm very interested in life after death and I love to hear stories like urs I often go to a spiritualist church and it's very uplifting to hear messages of loved ones who have passed on "
Everything is within one consiousness. So everything is a dream and imagination of the one. Of you. Consiousness doesn't need brain to exist. It need brain to fools itself to create something out of nothing.
From memory - 'Looking for consciousness in the brain is like digging to the centre of the Earth in search of gravity' - Karl Pribraim, neuroscientist. .
I always think these kind of questions are asked “backwards”. That is, if we separated from the ego, let it go completely, then we could actually see how “we’re” reborn not just after this body dies, but in every moment. Attaching to this body, this personhood, this identity is what keeps us from understanding rebirth.
@MAIN You'll have to step over the line to this side to know the truth. Have you read Eckharts books? Or Micheal Singer's book, The Untethered Soul. Adyashanti, Falling Into Grace. Jed McKenna's Enlightenment Trilogy. These are people who live Here and have written about it and how to get Here. Happy Travels, Amigo. 🍀🙏
When people say “not a shred of proof” etc. it’s obvious (to me) that the person still is viewing it incorrectly. It’s not a matter of proof, it’s a matter of perspective. I can no more prove it, than I can prove what an orange tastes like. Once you understand something you can’t not understand it. For those who still don’t understand what I’m trying to say, I’d recommend contemplating the old Zen koan - “what did your face look like before you were born?”
@James Paul Myers there is no jail for someone who is dead they don't have a body to jail or a mind or a heart or a soul or anything it was all a f****** joke
@James Paul Myers When tomorrow comes it will be Now...as always...eternally. Give an example "tomorrow" of any "time" that is not Now. lol Betcha can't, Amigo.
I hope that everyone experiences the Power of Now. Without the power of presence nothing Ekhart teaches will makes sense. I speak from experience he was the final straw that broke the camels back and is one of my many spiritual grandpas....
I had my beliefs when I was younger. I felt so certain about them. Now that my time may be coming to an end sooner than I expected, I am not certain of anything. It’s no longer an intellectual exercise ... at times, it’s heart breaking.
I hope you find a comfortable spot to be in. I understand what you mean about things somehow getting different in a strange and scary way after we get older and feel really FEEL our death coming toward us. Do your best to not focus on how you feel if it is very hard right now. Use free moments to help things in your surroundings. And do kind things. Stay busy. Regardless of what happens. Being affraid and confused will not help anything.
Death is part of life and the human being is the only creature conscious of this. It is waste of time of living to think about death, we can’t do anything to avoid it. We must learn to see death as part of life, as part of the perfect plan of our Creator.
Thank You Eckhart Tolle...I feel that in my own case, that I miss her, my dog, my Loved Ones that have passed on. The Presence and BE-ing, the alive body that contained the Spirit Soul of Consciousness, that which I identify, personify, and spiritually feel Connected to and with, and shared a bond, of Love and companionship, is now gone from the physical form. I have the memories, feelings, emotions, all that I could sense of her, all that's left is in my memories, and my emotions, of her, along with any visualization of how I know her "personally" in my own ways...She Loved us, we Loved her, she somehow lives on in the Spirit Soul, of Consciousness, of Life, and I miss her. I miss her Presence, and felt like part of me died with her, misses her, but we go on...🙏🙏🙏❤🌟...Thank You🙏🙏🙏
@@eileenbell3114 🙏❤🌟Thank you, and bless you too, Eileen Bell. It has been a week now, and still hard to accept, especially that she's gone. When I tell you that she was amazing, such a Loving BE-ing, and as a dog, she really was. She was always here for us. She would always in her own ways, cheer us up, give us hugs (place her self right next to you, not leave until you received a good, full hug, or would come over to you, while sitting on couch, up on her hind legs, place her body over your chest, head and neck extended on your shoulder), kisses, Love, display deep, loud howls to express herself, run laps in the backyard because she was happy and full of Life energy, protect us, "talk" to us with her beautiful expressive eyes, and doggie smiles, love to play with us and her toys, share a nibble or two, was gentle, helpful, a protector, a companion, a doggie daughter and member of my family, and did not like separation, especially did not like any doors closed, keeping her from meeting, greeting, being with people. She was Loved, still is, and is deeply, sorely, surely missed. I know that in time, that we pass on, from the body...But when it happens, it hurts. It's a shock. There is a lot of feelings, emotions, and "hurt" involved, a whole lot of change going on, feels like a huge loss, disbelief, grief, acknowledgement, acceptance, removal, understanding and even lack of understanding, and is a huge process to go through, a to "learn" to let go of...It's like, the more you Love, the deeper, the harder it is to let go, but the Love, and even Gratitude, memories remains... Moving on takes time, healing is happening, and we keep busy with things. We make changes in our lives. Opportunities in many ways and forms arise and arrive. We make the best of our situations as much as we can, as much as we want to, and we go on. Peace takes presence. Love remains. The Self, remains. We move forward, from living in the past, to living in the NOW... It's quite a Journey, an Experience, and I am Grateful, (but still hurts, because I miss her...) Thank you Eileen Bell for sharing with me...God Bless, please take good care, and I wish you well, Love🙏❤🌟❤🙏

Gavin, I see no credible evidence that the universe is concerned regarding this minute planet. Our entire solar system could instantly evaporate and the universe would not be concerned. Lol.
@@cps_Zen_Run that's because this is an illusion a dream when we go to bed at night and have a dream the dream is not real but the source is. There will come a time when we all wake up from this nightmare
The answer to this question heavily depends on your own perception of 'self' and on how strongly you are identified with your ego. If you're 100% merged with it, then the answer is simple: when your body dies, your ego dies with it, so the fake 'you' disappears. If 'you' believe it, it's certainly true in your own reality. But if you are deeply connected with your true essence (which most people call 'soul', but the term is avoided here to help those with 'atheistic' views), then you already know the answer, and you need no proof in the realm of mind/logic. You simply know/feel on a very deep level that the 'true self' is indestructible, being an integral part of the ultimate universal consciousness.
Bless you. I also feel on a very deep level (far back as I can remember) (and I can go way back) that I was something way other than this body and other than this person called.Lisa,. The real me morphed INTO Lisa but I remember before. I would think I'll go back to my source and either stay or go on another mission. But while I am here I am supposed to love.
A very good and fair question. Yes, of course the egoic mind would like to think that we live forever and that is a fair point, but I really don't believe that that is the case at all. It's our consciousness that animates our body and brain, not our brain that animates our body. I just have a very strong feeling that we are consciousness and not our brain. I think the best evidence you can get that we are consciousness and not our brain is from people who have had "near death experiences" (NDE). Over and over again, people who have had NDE will tell you without any doubt, that when they were physically dead, no brain activity at all, they were still very conscious of their surroundings and even had the whole life review, being enveloped by the light (describing it as home), and felt even more alive than when they were physically dead. I personally have zero doubt that we are immortal beings, living inside a human body in order to learn lessons and grow spiritually. I've always felt this and instinctively know it's TRUE.
When you die, your brain doesn't die immediately. Hence it's possible to revive drowned victims even if there's no vital signs of life for few minutes. Which means that brain activity is still possible and very active in those minutes. Such persons may still be physically aware of their surroundings. Therefore, NDE may just be brain activity in those last few minutes. It would be like you were dreaming but that you weren't breathing and your heart wasn't beating anymore
I don't agree with those who commented on what you said Einstein said we are made up of ENERGY ENERGY DOES NOT DIE IT TRANSFORMS the problem is it is not a third dimensional energy it is an ETERNAL ENERGY and there is an INNER KNOWING* in us that there is so much more than a bleep on the radar. OUR FEAR-BASED EGOS CANNOT CONNECT TO SPIRIT AND SPIRIT CANNOT CONNECT TO EGO (FEAR-BASED THINKING)
The inherit essence of all matter is life. Life can be connected to spirit, the immaterial source of all. That which is real cannot be threatened. -Much love from a growing TH-camr
My parents divorced when I was one. The custody was one week with Mom and one week with Dad. At both homes I had pet cats. I had gotten very close to my pets as I was an only child and going through the things kids go through in those situations. I remember very vividly that I was at my Dad's and went to sleep that night, my dream was very different than any other dream I have had up till that point. I saw cat from my Mom's and he came to me. Without words he spoke in my head, he said that he is going now and basically said goodbye. When I woke I was crying, somehow I knew he had passed. Then there was a voice that was not my own and it said pray for him. The only prayer I knew was the Hail Mary. So, I did just that. The following week I was at my Mom's and she said she could not find our cat from last week, he never came home. I could not bring myself to tell her for fear that she'd think I was nuts. A few days past and a neighbor said he saw our cat run over in the street, we found him and buried him. From then on any pet I lost and was not aware that they had past I would see them in a dream and I would pray for them like the voice asked. As an adult, humans that I am close to that are close to death I start to see them in my head, it is like a thought but the feeling that comes with it feels like nothing else. It is how I know. There is something past this "life".
Prayers are so much stronger than one could imagine. There is the right kind of prayers and the kind that will not work. The kind that do not work are ego filled. Although, some ego prayers come to fruition, but do so only to show you what is really important. Praying to be rich and getting it, but only to see that you are not fulfilled kind of thing. When I was 11 my step Mom and step brother went into to Mall and I decided to wait in the car. I found matches in the glove box and figured out that I could extinguish the flame by breathing in really hard and fast. Of course I was inhaling the sulfur. On the third match my throat closed, and I was alone in the car, in the parking lot. Seconds felt like minutes and at a certain point I knew it was time to give up. My last thought was, " please God save me". Out of no where my throat open and I took the deepest breath ever. It happened on that last word/thought, "Me". I share these bc I get so disheartened to hear someone doubt. These experiences have shaped my life. There is without a doubt something past this current experience/life.
I had a similar experience my dog was killed and got to see and hold her one last time as I dosed off to sleep and my cat also in the same time period died and never found the body , but heard her meowing as I went to sleep . Before this happened a puppy was the near house I found crying at night covered up with leaves and I thought oh I don't need another dog? Turns out I did all a gift from the one you prayed to the Divine Mother of Earth Mother Mary .
@@johnbowen4442 that is beautiful, John. Thanks for sharing. I believe that by sharing we strengthen our bond with each other and the Divine. I hope you have a wonderful day 😊
I think the answer to the young lady's question is another question, "who is it that needs to know the answer" and that is undoubtedly the ego,, our fearful survival mind. We our true selves the conscious beings are happy to accept what is without the need to know what will be ahead of time, we are happy to simply trust that whatever happens next everything really will be more than OK. We are, so grateful for and appreciative of having this amazing experience and opportunity in the first place we'd absolutely love it to go on forever, but equally even it turned out to be a one time deal, we'd still be every bit as grateful, if not even more grateful to have had it at all,. Which is probably the very reason we don't know ahead of time,, so we can truly appreciate what we have right here right now. Live every lifetime as if it's your last, maybe ☺️🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Msenlightened1 but surely its us who accepts that there are things that no matter how long we sit and think about them that we can not possibly know the answers to in this lifetime, so who is it that cannot accept the not knowing if its not us?

While rebirth surely isn't necessary, the concept is just an extension of what we can observe every day. What do we do when we pick up an item? We choose to do so, and at some point later it "just happens". If you extend that principle a bit further, every current result will be the result of past choices or a side effect of those
Considering stories of children with verifiable past lives there seems to be ‘something’ after life, as well as clear evidence for the soul returning to earth in a new body with past memory. It’s more a question of ‘where’ do we go
I deffinitly fully feel myself and my existance during a dream time even if I'm sometimes having weird dreams. Myself (or that conciousness masked as self) does not make a difference between dream and reality at given moments, because only thing that trully matter is an experience.
Great analogy! I wish it hadn't been cut off. The radio does not produce the music the radio transmits the music so when you smash the radio the music may stop coming out of that radio but it's still being broadcast from the original source. Also, she must be fun at parties! 😂✌️
No. If there is no radio or no person to listen to it, there is no music. Both are required. No person and all you have are vibrations through the air.
That's the best discussion I heard on that topic. It's possible that through intelligent design we were never meant to be able to prove the soul scientifically, a possibility which may not sit well with those that want everything factual and scientifically defined. Humans may eventually explain it or maybe the brain is responsible 100 percent for consciousness. I have my doubts sometimes but I'd like and tend to believe there's an afterlife.
Very smart!! The answer produces more questions. Excellent job, Eckhart! Most people are scared to imagine that there is life after death.. or that life actually continues, even though the means to communicate with it falls apart: just like breaking the radio set! Radio waves are still there but the radio 📻 is dead silent!! So they would rather consider the after death thing as an ego thing rather than a “mystery” to say the least! This is Deep, Eckhart! I love it! 💘
this is good. I am getting glimpses of who I am and it makes me feel such peace. It is so difficult to hold onto this peace with so much going on in the world.
Never thought of our conscious in this way before. It makes my brain hurt in the same way it did when I was first told that the universe is infinite. Still can't wrap my head around that one decades later. I accept it, but still can't fathom it somehow.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. You are part of Source Energy ("God").. always have been and always will be.. You are a Multi-dimensional being having a human experience.. and the idea that you stop existing when your human body dies can only be contrived by the limited ego construct.
'Life After Life' by Raymond Moody is a fantastic book along with William Buhlman's 'Adventure's Beyond the Body', 'Journey's Out of the Body' by Robert A. Monroe, among a few others on such subjects of NDE's, OBE's which should clear up all questions regarding Life "after" this physical one.
@@Impulze7 Agreed. All 3 of Monroe's books are mind-blowing (must reads consecutively). Melvin Morse I believe also wrote books on NDEs of Children which was also a nice perspective, because even those young children had memories of events which lasted a lifetime and were less if not completely devoid of indoctrination (of any religious nature).
As a channel medium I am abundantly aware of consciousness after life immediately after death and I can hear them and share what they want to say verbatim
Eckhart Tolle, thank you, your teachings are prolific…. I have listened to all of your works on audible, when I first reached your book the power of now in my, I guess I would call it a spiritual journey now but then I was just listening to many different books about the universal laws… lol I was getting a little closer to the truth at the time… Then your book came into my awareness! I stopped it early because something triggered! I didn’t know what but I knew this resinated with me…. Maybe a month later I listen again, and I understood a little better… this was almost 2 years ago now… but from then until now( it’s only now) but you understand, I’ve heard all of your teachings and I just wanted to say I Completely understand! Thank you for freeing me…. You are truly Gods Gift and I hope to one day become a teacher of presence as well if God wills it… No Day but Today, No Time but Now
Law of Conservation of Mass - nothing is ever created or destroyed, it transforms. This is merely a chapter in a very long novel. Some hypothesize, others are given deep knowing.
Eckart didn't answer the question. He talked around it. The question is best represented as "who dies?". Consciousness is all there is and the body is an appearance in consciousness. So when the body passes consciousness remains
If someone smashes the radio that is playing the 9th symphony, it doesn’t equate to the music no longer being played somewhere “out there”. Our brains are wired and like radios pick up on and react to frequencies and bring in energies of sort so it is plausible we are actually out there but choosing to play in a particular body/brain. What fun!!!!
When you realise we are all one consciousness, you realise reincarnation is happening all around us at every moment. Not as the person being reborn, but the one consciousness in its infinite forms
I’ve always wondered if the body is a sort of “antenna” for the soul, and that if the body is in disrepair or not formed properly, it can’t get a clear “signal”
There was a time years ago that I found his books informative. I helped myself more when I worked things out on my own, as he did on his personal spiritual journey. That's the best way.
For a great book about the afterlife, read Stafford Betty’s book The Afterlife Unveiled…a professor of religious studies hits a home run with this study. Don’t miss it.
I have known for decades that the bodies we wear are an interface with this reality, and I became aware of that long before I knew of Eckhart Tolle, but the man changed my life through his writings. He gave me a deep insight into myself which on a macro scale explains so much that goes on in the whole world, why conflict exists, why people get sick. It is all between the human ego and the God self that is the soul, but to understand it fully you have to read Tolle.
So brilliant, I love the way you bring clarity into a confusion. My higher self told me that I am conciousness in a body and my awareness say it is not debatable, my knowing confirm. Thank you Eckhart for sharing truth through the source. Blessed be. 🌞🌛🌟❤️
If there is only one awareness and one consciousness then what is this “higher self” you speak of? J Krishnamurti has a wonderful perspective and talks on this if you would care to listen? Even if not have a beautiful day
That is the most profound way I've ever heard of proposing the idea that consciousness is gone (or not) once the physical body is gone. I like that you said nobody knows, because that's what I always say. Thank you! ☺️💜
@@melaniestarkey7868 I'm sorry, I'm not sure what your comment means, but personally, I believe our consciousness continues after our bodies expire. I think Eckhart's point was it is something we each have to decide based on our own experiences and beliefs. 🙂
Eckhart Tolle's explanations are so commonsense. There really is such a gulf between the miracle of consciousness and organic physicality; how the two are connected at all is the real miracle.
I think the reason why do not have memories of death is cause memories are related to the physical body. In that state you are just an observer. This is why you don't become lucid while you dream cause memory doesn't engage but you still are dreaming but your physical body isn't engaged. It's just a concept I been working on from a decode of lucid dreaming practice. Singing also helps you find a way to ground your self to lucid dream. It all comes from that term "grounded".
I really need to hear the rest of this! I am sure Eckhart embellished further on this answer, but the question from Tina still remains. Eckhart gave a well-reasoned argument to suggest that the physical and the etheric/consciousness are separate, but do the same die the same death? Suffice to say that they mutually exclusive fields of matter and non-matter, but I would love to know Eckharts opinion on the latter surviving the former.
This seems like a counterpart to the question of how we recognize ourselves each day...not in a physical sense but a mental one. Is it not the memories we have? Of that grandparent? That bed? Memories are rooted in the past, but life itself is a continuous now moment, so we are actually reborn each moment. Maybe her question is backwards. Maybe death isn't something that happens to us but to others, when we can no longer create new memories of that person, and they can't support our idea of a separate self. Our own death can't be experienced because the observing self is no longer present. We can know that we're dying, but not dead.
I am blown away by this one! I love it, it makes sense!!! We are so complex unique beautifully made and then some!! No scientist will ever be able to read my mind🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If every thought is a by-product of an active ego, why shouldn't that include all thoughts concerning life after our bodies stop functioning? Are some thoughts more "egoic" than others, or are all thoughts equally fruits of the ego?
The question of whether or not there’s a Source beyond the world and whether or not we survive the world comes from the ego; from the programming. The Inner Being already knows the deal and would never ask the question. But It will prompt us to seek for It, because ultimately, every individual must answer the question for themselves. That’s the whole point of being here. As Eckhart consistently teaches, words are only pointers. They lead us to the water. But it’s up to us to drink. The ego mind will do everything it can to make us avoid that.
If the projector at a cinema can project images without inherent consciousness, then why not the brain? And when I look at an image I simply see a series of dots or pixels. The interpretation of them is a construct that takes place in my brain. It is mind created.
What a splendid way of saying that consciousness continues -or even further...that consciousness comes before the brain-yes most probably has PRODUCED the brain.; THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH!
Ooh, I know Eckhart knows his stuff, but he had difficulty answering this one, even though in his writings he most articulately writes about consciousness not being tied to the material body and thus potentially eternal, although, of course no one alive could ever know anything for sure. Her question, though, was whether the concept of the afterlife was an egoic extension of self. I suppose it could be, on the surface borne of fear of non-existence. Apart from “the human monkey-mind, however, lies an immaterial consciousness that is ubiquitous, interconnected among the living and non living (through love and memory and ritual), and possibly extending far beyond fear based thoughts. I am you. You are I. That is true whether the persons who love are physically alive on earth or not.
I did not think that Eckhart had difficulty answering the question. What I saw was his usual carefully thought through answer. I also thought he answered the question, and that the answer was subtle.This is just my perception, of course.
The question assumes upfront that it is more reasonable to suppose we cease to exist when we die, and the reason why people resist this is because people desperately want themselves and loved ones to continue on. What ought to determine our beliefs in any afterlife is reason and evidence. So, for the former, is it reasonable to suppose the brain could somehow produce consciousness? And I think there's considerable difficulty in supposing it does. Secondly, there's all the evidence. All these end of life experiences for example such as NDEs, deathbed visions, recovering ones mental faculties at the threshold of death and so on. Then there's the spontaneous apparent memories had by children of previous lives, and a lot of the details they give of that previous person is investigated and found to be correct. And other evidence. Saying, "oh, but one's ego desperately wishes to survive!" cannot somehow negate all this reason and evidence.

I've had dogs and loved them all. There was one... when she looked at me and I looked into her eyes, I knew that there was 'someone' in there. She's still with me, even though her body died just over a year ago.
I have a dog like that right now. He is over 13. Very special little fella. His name is Ferguson. When I got him and his brother as puppies. I set with him and felt I could connect my feelings with something inside the dogs spirit. Almost like passed life signatures or echoes. I stayed with this feeling as I asked out the question. "What is your name?" Instantly I was told FERGUSON. It fit him perfect. I love him so much. Watching him age and get sick is very hard. He has had cancer 2 times. Both times a paid cash for a vet to try to save his life with surgery. Both times that 15 pound giant of a heart made it. He fought. But what really got him through was his love for me. And equally the love I have for him. And how much he knew I was right there with him. We had some very terrifying nights battling sickness.
The deepness behind his eyes are the closest thing I have seen and felt to a human being. His brother is also a great dog. But I kinda have a feeling maybe Ferguson is due to "transcend" after his brave little life of this round is done. I really hurt so intensely when I think of the day I have to see him go. And going on 14 I guess I just feel blessed that we still have good days together and he is enjoying life and in good health after fighting for so long.
Me too a husky Snowdog. Like no other and I have had many. Love to all...
@Ron Price I'm sure all dogs go to heaven, and maybe all are reincarnated? Ferguson and his brother are special souls. ❤️ As individuals, we connect more strongly with some, but don't shortchange his brother; he has much to share! ❤️ ❤️
Sorry about the bad translation.
I tried to get the energy, but couldn’t; it was just a memory; Robin Hood had finally detached from me.

I always like to fantasize about this: Everything we see, hear, smell, feel or taste is mediated by our brains. But that doesn't mean there cannot be a whole universe outside of our brain, a universe that the brain simply cannot translate into senses. So, if the brain (and body) dies, maybe we finally sense that whole universe again, instead of the very, very low resolution universe we are sensing now. Who knows....:)
A great thought! Like the radio analogy at the end.
I was feeling very depressed until I read what you shared thank you so much
Refreshingly hopeful concept without being based on wish-projection. Thank you.
Very beautiful thought.. hope this is true. I don't know why everyone fears death. Maybe just because the aftermath is uncertain. Who knows there maybe even a better outcome there? Why keep negative ideas or be anxious? Just let it be 😊
❤️❤️❤️
There is something so immense beyond what our human shell can comprehend. An incredible mystery.
undertheivy29. Yes, exactly. So let's leave it at that and get on with this beautiful journey. 💖
look up to the sky and see ... ;)
Exactly Bro ! Ain't nobody got time for that ! It's the people who dosen't do much and contribute nothing to society and just sit around staring at a wall all day , those people are the ones that have the time to wonder if there is life after death and all that stuff ! Like get a life bro ! LoL
An incredible mystery...???.....nah not at all....just know ''spirit IN body''...
@@EnlightenedCarnivore I totally agree, all explinations are purely a mind stories to explain what none of us can possible know. Knowing what we don't know and accepting what none of us can not possibly know is probably the greatest wisdom there is.
When I went to my dad's funeral, I approached the open casket and looked down at his body. I wasn't sad when I looked at his face. Instead I had this feeling or knowing that it was just an empty carcass. He wasn't there anymore. There's some kind of energy or presence that is no longer there. It looked empty and lifeless as a wax figure mannequin at a museum. I didn't cry. But I was sad his presence was gone. But about one week later, I received a youtube notification that someone with my dad's full name just subscribed to me. I thought that was very coincidental. But I've learned since from spiritual teachings that there are no coincidences. I asked famous Near Death Experiencer Anita Moorjani what she thought of my experience. She said, she was sure it was my dad communicating with me, that he just wanted to say that he was alright.
Absolutely, your dad is gone from your world but I think very likely you will see him again. You can read my comment a few above yours for a couple ideas about all of this. My mom died in 2020, and as corny as this sounds, I saw a rainbow that afternoon after hearing the news. I know that was symbolic and also not a coincidence. Also the night before she died, a song came into my head that I had not heard in years, by Peter Gabriel "Into the sun". He wrote it as a tribute for Lady Diana after she passed. Anyway I know that song popping into my head was not a coincidence either. Part of the chorus to it is "May God's love be with you, always". I think we all need to hear and believe in that.
Absolutely!!! A beautiful gift from your father letting you know he is nearby and continues to be by your side. ♥️❤️♥️
One of your acquaintances did that, or just a coincidence. Really sorry for my interpretation.
Don't fall for such ads. Just like me, you might have googled "Anita .."whatever. This is the new kind of ad on online platforms. Just click on TH-cam > Report > spam or unnecessary commercial content. These people pry on mostly anxious and vulnerable people mostly like us here.
I had a similar experience . When my grandpa passed and I went to his viewing before cremation, I was staring at him and I had an overwhelming knowing that this is not my grandpa. He wasn’t in there. I kept repeating to myself in my head “Where are you Olli? You are not in there anymore.” That is how I explained it to my friends too, is that I could feel absolutely no energy coming from the body anymore. I expected to feel some connection to the body still. I had a deep realization that our body is just a shell that is carrying around our consciousness until we die . We (true self) are separate from the body. It made me go deep with realizations I didn’t have before.
I’ve been a therapist since 2002- In 2011 I had a client that was super depressed and 20min into the session I experienced this overwhelming LOVING beaming energy surging through every cell in my body. Then I had a telepathic communication that stated . “ I am a family relative that has passed Away and I Am here to love and support Him”- Him being my client on my table. I asked him if he had any relatives that have passed. He said yes my father. In that moment I was shown that we never stop existing!! And that we are truly magnificent beings! That are dearly loved!! Ego and dogma tells you that this innate essence of who you see is just your ego. It’s the strongest delusion!!!
Science does not and never will have an answer for this, because science relies only on things which are tangible or can be measured. There is no microscope that has ever looked at a slide of evidence of "love", but we all know it exists. Anyway nice story, thanks for sharing. Peace and blessings!
@@johns7530 I like to use that analogy as well when someone questions all my experiences cause I’ve had a lot that scientist can’t explain. But allow me to share something else… when I studied anatomy and physiology they taught us that 98% of our DNA is “JUNK” . Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what a lie that must be.

“Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking inside the radio for the announcer” - Nassim Haramein
Beautifully and succinctly put ... thank you😍
Everything is within one consiousness. So everything is a dream and imagination of the one. Of you. Consiousness doesn't need brain to exist. It need brain to fools itself to create something out of nothing.
Yes I agree, WELL SAID!
great quote !🙂
From memory - 'Looking for consciousness in the brain is like digging to the centre of the Earth in search of gravity' - Karl Pribraim, neuroscientist. .
"We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust...The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance." -Rumi
"I don't exist in the realm of the visible". Thank you Eckhart, you're such a joy in these days we live in. 👌
And with "I" hè means the ego I assume?
I always think these kind of questions are asked “backwards”. That is, if we separated from the ego, let it go completely, then we could actually see how “we’re” reborn not just after this body dies, but in every moment. Attaching to this body, this personhood, this identity is what keeps us from understanding rebirth.
Win, you are the second one on here to comment that has lifted my spirits thank you maybe love will survive after all
@MAIN You'll have to step over the line to this side to know the truth. Have you read Eckharts books? Or Micheal Singer's book, The Untethered Soul. Adyashanti, Falling Into Grace. Jed McKenna's Enlightenment Trilogy. These are people who live Here and have written about it and how to get Here. Happy Travels, Amigo. 🍀🙏
Win Ark. Bingo, to die before the body dies. It's the only way to Know rebirth. 😉
When people say “not a shred of proof” etc. it’s obvious (to me) that the person still is viewing it incorrectly. It’s not a matter of proof, it’s a matter of perspective. I can no more prove it, than I can prove what an orange tastes like. Once you understand something you can’t not understand it. For those who still don’t understand what I’m trying to say, I’d recommend contemplating the old Zen koan - “what did your face look like before you were born?”
@@winark3779 the trouble with my point of view is I can't see the point from which I view it.

@James Paul Myers When tomorrow comes it will be Now...as always...eternally. Give an example "tomorrow" of any "time" that is not Now. lol Betcha can't, Amigo.
For now, Everything is temporary….be here now. 🙏🏻
I hope that everyone experiences the Power of Now. Without the power of presence nothing Ekhart teaches will makes sense. I speak from experience he was the final straw that broke the camels back and is one of my many spiritual grandpas....
A morning video with Eckhart a day keeps me aligned with my true self i am grateful for your teachings they have transformed my life experience
I had my beliefs when I was younger. I felt so certain about them. Now that my time may be coming to an end sooner than I expected, I am not certain of anything. It’s no longer an intellectual exercise ... at times, it’s heart breaking.
I hope you find a comfortable spot to be in. I understand what you mean about things somehow getting different in a strange and scary way after we get older and feel really FEEL our death coming toward us.
Do your best to not focus on how you feel if it is very hard right now. Use free moments to help things in your surroundings. And do kind things. Stay busy. Regardless of what happens. Being affraid and confused will not help anything.
@@ronprice1819 … thank you 🙏
I’m sorry you are having to cope with this, I know what that feels like. Sending you a virtual hug. Stay in the present. ❤️
Death is part of life and the human being is the only creature conscious of this. It is waste of time of living to think about death, we can’t do anything to avoid it. We must learn to see death as part of life, as part of the perfect plan of our Creator.
Thank You Eckhart Tolle...I feel that in my own case, that I miss her, my dog, my Loved Ones that have passed on. The Presence and BE-ing, the alive body that contained the Spirit Soul of Consciousness, that which I identify, personify, and spiritually feel Connected to and with, and shared a bond, of Love and companionship, is now gone from the physical form. I have the memories, feelings, emotions, all that I could sense of her, all that's left is in my memories, and my emotions, of her, along with any visualization of how I know her "personally" in my own ways...She Loved us, we Loved her, she somehow lives on in the Spirit Soul, of Consciousness, of Life, and I miss her. I miss her Presence, and felt like part of me died with her, misses her, but we go on...🙏🙏🙏❤🌟...Thank You🙏🙏🙏
Noreen. I am so sorry and very moved by your post. You have been so blessed to have had such a wonderful love connection with your darling dog 🐕❣
@@eileenbell3114 🙏❤🌟Thank you, and bless you too, Eileen Bell. It has been a week now, and still hard to accept, especially that she's gone. When I tell you that she was amazing, such a Loving BE-ing, and as a dog, she really was. She was always here for us. She would always in her own ways, cheer us up, give us hugs (place her self right next to you, not leave until you received a good, full hug, or would come over to you, while sitting on couch, up on her hind legs, place her body over your chest, head and neck extended on your shoulder), kisses, Love, display deep, loud howls to express herself, run laps in the backyard because she was happy and full of Life energy, protect us, "talk" to us with her beautiful expressive eyes, and doggie smiles, love to play with us and her toys, share a nibble or two, was gentle, helpful, a protector, a companion, a doggie daughter and member of my family, and did not like separation, especially did not like any doors closed, keeping her from meeting, greeting, being with people. She was Loved, still is, and is deeply, sorely, surely missed. I know that in time, that we pass on, from the body...But when it happens, it hurts. It's a shock. There is a lot of feelings, emotions, and "hurt" involved, a whole lot of change going on, feels like a huge loss, disbelief, grief, acknowledgement, acceptance, removal, understanding and even lack of understanding, and is a huge process to go through, a to "learn" to let go of...It's like, the more you Love, the deeper, the harder it is to let go, but the Love, and even Gratitude, memories remains...
Moving on takes time, healing is happening, and we keep busy with things. We make changes in our lives. Opportunities in many ways and forms arise and arrive. We make the best of our situations as much as we can, as much as we want to, and we go on. Peace takes presence. Love remains. The Self, remains. We move forward, from living in the past, to living in the NOW...
It's quite a Journey, an Experience, and I am Grateful, (but still hurts, because I miss her...)

@@cps_Zen_Run that's because this is an illusion a dream when we go to bed at night and have a dream the dream is not real but the source is. There will come a time when we all wake up from this nightmare
I wish Mr. Tolle had adressed lucid dreaming, astral projection and NDEs, this kinds of events could easily explain the ladie´s question.
There's also thousands of documented cases of reincarnation.
The radio:music to body:consciousness analogy? Brilliant…bravo!
The answer to this question heavily depends on your own perception of 'self' and on how strongly you are identified with your ego. If you're 100% merged with it, then the answer is simple: when your body dies, your ego dies with it, so the fake 'you' disappears. If 'you' believe it, it's certainly true in your own reality.
But if you are deeply connected with your true essence (which most people call 'soul', but the term is avoided here to help those with 'atheistic' views), then you already know the answer, and you need no proof in the realm of mind/logic. You simply know/feel on a very deep level that the 'true self' is indestructible, being an integral part of the ultimate universal consciousness.
POL HOME, YOU ARE THE SIXTH PERSON THAT HAS LIFTED MY SPIRITS AND MAKES TOTAL SENSE
Bless you. I also feel on a very deep level (far back as I can remember) (and I can go way back) that I was something way other than this body and other than this person called.Lisa,. The real me morphed INTO Lisa but I remember before. I would think I'll go back to my source and either stay or go on another mission. But while I am here I am supposed to love.
Well said.
But does it enter another body?
@@ericabassi7728 YES it does -read "Towards the Light" published by Michael Agerskov in Denmark 1920 translated to many languages -
A very good and fair question. Yes, of course the egoic mind would like to think that we live forever and that is a fair point, but I really don't believe that that is the case at all. It's our consciousness that animates our body and brain, not our brain that animates our body. I just have a very strong feeling that we are consciousness and not our brain. I think the best evidence you can get that we are consciousness and not our brain is from people who have had "near death experiences" (NDE). Over and over again, people who have had NDE will tell you without any doubt, that when they were physically dead, no brain activity at all, they were still very conscious of their surroundings and even had the whole life review, being enveloped by the light (describing it as home), and felt even more alive than when they were physically dead. I personally have zero doubt that we are immortal beings, living inside a human body in order to learn lessons and grow spiritually. I've always felt this and instinctively know it's TRUE.
Ryan you are the third person to comment on here that has lifted my spirits I agree totally with you thank you for what you shared
I am with u on this Ryan. I have this very strong feeling also. Love does not die when our loved one dies, the love remains. I concur.
Can agree!
Yup, I hear you dog
When you die, your brain doesn't die immediately. Hence it's possible to revive drowned victims even if there's no vital signs of life for few minutes. Which means that brain activity is still possible and very active in those minutes. Such persons may still be physically aware of their surroundings. Therefore, NDE may just be brain activity in those last few minutes. It would be like you were dreaming but that you weren't breathing and your heart wasn't beating anymore
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
@Helpontheway I wasn’t explaining anything.
Those from Hiroshima and Nagasaki might disagree.
I don't agree with those who commented on what you said Einstein said we are made up of ENERGY ENERGY DOES NOT DIE IT TRANSFORMS the problem is it is not a third dimensional energy it is an ETERNAL ENERGY and there is an INNER KNOWING* in us that there is so much more than a bleep on the radar. OUR FEAR-BASED EGOS CANNOT CONNECT TO SPIRIT AND SPIRIT CANNOT CONNECT TO EGO (FEAR-BASED THINKING)
@Helpontheway ❤️
The inherit essence of all matter is life. Life can be connected to spirit, the immaterial source of all. That which is real cannot be threatened.

My parents divorced when I was one. The custody was one week with Mom and one week with Dad. At both homes I had pet cats. I had gotten very close to my pets as I was an only child and going through the things kids go through in those situations. I remember very vividly that I was at my Dad's and went to sleep that night, my dream was very different than any other dream I have had up till that point. I saw cat from my Mom's and he came to me. Without words he spoke in my head, he said that he is going now and basically said goodbye. When I woke I was crying, somehow I knew he had passed. Then there was a voice that was not my own and it said pray for him. The only prayer I knew was the Hail Mary. So, I did just that. The following week I was at my Mom's and she said she could not find our cat from last week, he never came home. I could not bring myself to tell her for fear that she'd think I was nuts. A few days past and a neighbor said he saw our cat run over in the street, we found him and buried him. From then on any pet I lost and was not aware that they had past I would see them in a dream and I would pray for them like the voice asked. As an adult, humans that I am close to that are close to death I start to see them in my head, it is like a thought but the feeling that comes with it feels like nothing else. It is how I know. There is something past this "life".
Prayers are so much stronger than one could imagine. There is the right kind of prayers and the kind that will not work. The kind that do not work are ego filled. Although, some ego prayers come to fruition, but do so only to show you what is really important. Praying to be rich and getting it, but only to see that you are not fulfilled kind of thing. When I was 11 my step Mom and step brother went into to Mall and I decided to wait in the car. I found matches in the glove box and figured out that I could extinguish the flame by breathing in really hard and fast. Of course I was inhaling the sulfur. On the third match my throat closed, and I was alone in the car, in the parking lot. Seconds felt like minutes and at a certain point I knew it was time to give up. My last thought was, " please God save me". Out of no where my throat open and I took the deepest breath ever. It happened on that last word/thought, "Me". I share these bc I get so disheartened to hear someone doubt. These experiences have shaped my life. There is without a doubt something past this current experience/life.
I had a similar experience my dog was killed and got to see and hold her one last time as I dosed off to sleep and my cat also in the same time period died and never found the body , but heard her meowing as I went to sleep . Before this happened a puppy was the near house I found crying at night covered up with leaves and I thought oh I don't need another dog? Turns out I did all a gift from the one you prayed to the Divine Mother of Earth Mother Mary .

I think the answer to the young lady's question is another question, "who is it that needs to know the answer" and that is undoubtedly the ego,, our fearful survival mind. We our true selves the conscious beings are happy to accept what is without the need to know what will be ahead of time, we are happy to simply trust that whatever happens next everything really will be more than OK. We are, so grateful for and appreciative of having this amazing experience and opportunity in the first place we'd absolutely love it to go on forever, but equally even it turned out to be a one time deal, we'd still be every bit as grateful, if not even more grateful to have had it at all,. Which is probably the very reason we don't know ahead of time,, so we can truly appreciate what we have right here right now. Live every lifetime as if it's your last, maybe ☺️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Really? It’s the ego that desires to know the true innate essence of who and what we are? That’s harsh

The question and uncertainty is from the ego but our higher consciousness already knows life in infinite, it has nothing to fear.
While rebirth surely isn't necessary, the concept is just an extension of what we can observe every day. What do we do when we pick up an item? We choose to do so, and at some point later it "just happens". If you extend that principle a bit further, every current result will be the result of past choices or a side effect of those
Profound! To think of your brain as a radio , tuned into consciousness.
The truth shall set you free
Considering stories of children with verifiable past lives there seems to be ‘something’ after life, as well as clear evidence for the soul returning to earth in a new body with past memory. It’s more a question of ‘where’ do we go
I deffinitly fully feel myself and my existance during a dream time even if I'm sometimes having weird dreams. Myself (or that conciousness masked as self) does not make a difference between dream and reality at given moments, because only thing that trully matter is an experience.
Great analogy! I wish it hadn't been cut off. The radio does not produce the music the radio transmits the music so when you smash the radio the music may stop coming out of that radio but it's still being broadcast from the original source. Also, she must be fun at parties! 😂✌️
Sue snail lives I like what you shared and you are probably fun at parties I plan to enjoy the dance of life forever how long I'm here
I'm glad she asked the question so I could hear Eckhart answer it. Being fun at parties is overrated.
No. If there is no radio or no person to listen to it, there is no music. Both are required. No person and all you have are vibrations through the air.
"You" were never born therefore you are not gonna die🤗😍🙏
That's the best discussion I heard on that topic. It's possible that through intelligent design we were never meant to be able to prove the soul scientifically, a possibility which may not sit well with those that want everything factual and scientifically defined. Humans may eventually explain it or maybe the brain is responsible 100 percent for consciousness. I have my doubts sometimes but I'd like and tend to believe there's an afterlife.
Very smart!! The answer produces more questions. Excellent job, Eckhart! Most people are scared to imagine that there is life after death.. or that life actually continues, even though the means to communicate with it falls apart: just like breaking the radio set! Radio waves are still there but the radio 📻 is dead silent!! So they would rather consider the after death thing as an ego thing rather than a “mystery” to say the least! This is Deep, Eckhart! I love it! 💘
this is good. I am getting glimpses of who I am and it makes me feel such peace. It is so difficult to hold onto this peace with so much going on in the world.
It’s like I never heard it. And yes, here I am two months later being wowed by it all over again.
Never thought of our conscious in this way before. It makes my brain hurt in the same way it did when I was first told that the universe is infinite. Still can't wrap my head around that one decades later. I accept it, but still can't fathom it somehow.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
You are part of Source Energy ("God").. always have been and always will be..
You are a Multi-dimensional being having a human experience.. and the idea that you stop existing when your human body dies can only be contrived by the limited ego construct.
Proof that the radio produces the music…love it😅
I have always had a sense that the Brain was, a receiver😊
'Life After Life' by Raymond Moody is a fantastic book along with William Buhlman's 'Adventure's Beyond the Body', 'Journey's Out of the Body' by Robert A. Monroe, among a few others on such subjects of NDE's, OBE's which should clear up all questions regarding Life "after" this physical one.
Buhlman and Monroe are truly the best authors when it comes to AP and life after the physical death. Hope you enjoyed their books as much as I did. :)
@@Impulze7 Agreed. All 3 of Monroe's books are mind-blowing (must reads consecutively). Melvin Morse I believe also wrote books on NDEs of Children which was also a nice perspective, because even those young children had memories of events which lasted a lifetime and were less if not completely devoid of indoctrination (of any religious nature).

I have listened to all of your works on audible, when I first reached your book the power of now in my, I guess I would call it a spiritual journey now but then I was just listening to many different books about the universal laws… lol I was getting a little closer to the truth at the time… Then your book came into my awareness! I stopped it early because something triggered! I didn’t know what but I knew this resinated with me…. Maybe a month later I listen again, and I understood a little better… this was almost 2 years ago now… but from then until now( it’s only now) but you understand, I’ve heard all of your teachings and I just wanted to say I Completely understand! Thank you for freeing me…. You are truly Gods Gift and I hope to one day become a teacher of presence as well if God wills it… No Day but Today, No Time but Now
very good (the last bit!)
Appreciate that he is less new-agey than he normally is in this topic.
I APPRECIATE YOU DEEPLY.
Very natural question to ask. Of course, nobody can really know. And actually, it's better that way.
Law of Conservation of Mass - nothing is ever created or destroyed, it transforms. This is merely a chapter in a very long novel. Some hypothesize, others are given deep knowing.
Name Here, this reminds me when Einstein said we were made up of ENERGY ENERGY DOES NOT DIE IT TRANSFORMS
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SHARED
Eckart didn't answer the question. He talked around it. The question is best represented as "who dies?". Consciousness is all there is and the body is an appearance in consciousness. So when the body passes consciousness remains
The universe is conscious and so are you; a part of it : one.
Carpenter family that to me is everything in a nutshell what you shared thank you
If someone smashes the radio that is playing the 9th symphony, it doesn’t equate to the music no longer being played somewhere “out there”. Our brains are wired and like radios pick up on and react to frequencies and bring in energies of sort so it is plausible we are actually out there but choosing to play in a particular body/brain. What fun!!!!
When you realise we are all one consciousness, you realise reincarnation is happening all around us at every moment. Not as the person being reborn, but the one consciousness in its infinite forms
What do you mean by one conciousness, its not reincarnation if nothing remains of the individual.
I’ve always wondered if the body is a sort of “antenna” for the soul, and that if the body is in disrepair or not formed properly, it can’t get a clear “signal”

I love it when Eckhart does his little laugh xx
There was a time years ago that I found his books informative. I helped myself more when I worked things out on my own, as he did on his personal spiritual journey. That's the best way.
This was so illuminating and perspective shifting . Thank you Eckhart 🙏❤️
For a great book about the afterlife, read Stafford Betty’s book The Afterlife Unveiled…a professor of religious studies hits a home run with this study. Don’t miss it.
Hey, What Stafford has said about afterlife ? I don't have time to read his book. Please, share his views on afterlife.
Great explanations. Thank you Eckhard❣️
My Master has just explained UNSUBTANCIALITY with human words. Thanks a million times. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have known for decades that the bodies we wear are an interface with this reality, and I became aware of that long before I knew of Eckhart Tolle, but the man changed my life through his writings. He gave me a deep insight into myself which on a macro scale explains so much that goes on in the whole world, why conflict exists, why people get sick. It is all between the human ego and the God self that is the soul, but to understand it fully you have to read Tolle.
That radio analogy was so perfect.
So brilliant, I love the way you bring clarity into a confusion. My higher self told me that I am conciousness in a body and my awareness say it is not debatable, my knowing confirm. Thank you Eckhart for sharing truth through the source. Blessed be. 🌞🌛🌟❤️
"Your" higher self, your conciousness and your awareness did all these things and "you" believed them🤔🙄🙏
If there is only one awareness and one consciousness then what is this “higher self” you speak of? J Krishnamurti has a wonderful perspective and talks on this if you would care to listen? Even if not have a beautiful day
If there is life before death, then there is life after death
Yes.

Let’s be aware together, dearest beloved consciousnesses. Thank you and have a lovely now together.
That is the most profound way I've ever heard of proposing the idea that consciousness is gone (or not) once the physical body is gone. I like that you said nobody knows, because that's what I always say. Thank you! ☺️💜
Where did we come from what movement there had to be one for a physical experience oh yes Mom and Dad
@@melaniestarkey7868 I'm sorry, I'm not sure what your comment means, but personally, I believe our consciousness continues after our bodies expire. I think Eckhart's point was it is something we each have to decide based on our own experiences and beliefs. 🙂
No one knows for sure. We can only speculate what happens to our consciousness after physical life is over.
The REAL YOU knows for sure! So it's just the matter of connecting to your REAL YOU:)
@@polhome9369This!
It’s amazing to see “the ego” asking about “the ego” 🤣
Yes when you ask something that is FEAR BASED in ORIGIN you never get a plausible answer.
Also funny to see "enlightened" people offended by doubts about life after death
Thank you
Para morir tendríamos que haber nacido... lo que somos simplemente Es atemporalmente. Gracias 🙏 💜 🙇🏼♀️ 🌈
Eckhart Tolle's explanations are so commonsense. There really is such a gulf between the miracle of consciousness and organic physicality; how the two are connected at all is the real miracle.
Great respect
If humans are ensnared by the material web, you show them a way out.
I think the reason why do not have memories of death is cause memories are related to the physical body. In that state you are just an observer. This is why you don't become lucid while you dream cause memory doesn't engage but you still are dreaming but your physical body isn't engaged. It's just a concept I been working on from a decode of lucid dreaming practice. Singing also helps you find a way to ground your self to lucid dream. It all comes from that term "grounded".

I just want to let anyone who’s reading this, and going through a tough time know that it’s going to be okay. You’ll get through it! ✨
Thank you ❤️
Amen thank you 😊 🙏 ☺️
Not genuine as you copy paste this generic statement to promote your channel 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you although my thought that I'm speaking right now is invisible I am sending you a virtual hug and the love in it is real
Maybe we will get through this together?
🌈Thank you very much, for this interesting Video.🙏❤️🧚🏾
Unconditional love
Love you, Eckhart!! X ❤️ X
Congratulations on 1st lol 😆 👏 😄

I love people that call ANCIENT TEACHINGS. NEW AGE ✌️🌍💗
I really need to hear the rest of this! I am sure Eckhart embellished further on this answer, but the question from Tina still remains. Eckhart gave a well-reasoned argument to suggest that the physical and the etheric/consciousness are separate, but do the same die the same death? Suffice to say that they mutually exclusive fields of matter and non-matter, but I would love to know Eckharts opinion on the latter surviving the former.
Questioner: I think it is of the ego... smiles knowingly----that looks and sounds like the ego.
🤫
This seems like a counterpart to the question of how we recognize ourselves each day...not in a physical sense but a mental one. Is it not the memories we have? Of that grandparent? That bed?
Memories are rooted in the past, but life itself is a continuous now moment, so we are actually reborn each moment.
Maybe her question is backwards. Maybe death isn't something that happens to us but to others, when we can no longer create new memories of that person, and they can't support our idea of a separate self. Our own death can't be experienced because the observing self is no longer present. We can know that we're dying, but not dead.
I am blown away by this one! I love it, it makes sense!!! We are so complex unique beautifully made and then some!! No scientist will ever be able to read my mind🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If every thought is a by-product of an active ego, why shouldn't that include all thoughts concerning life after our bodies stop functioning? Are some thoughts more "egoic" than others, or are all thoughts equally fruits of the ego?
Much Love and Blessings to you!
The question of whether or not there’s a Source beyond the world and whether or not we survive the world comes from the ego; from the programming.
The Inner Being already knows the deal and would never ask the question.
But It will prompt us to seek for It, because ultimately, every individual must answer the question for themselves.
That’s the whole point of being here.
As Eckhart consistently teaches, words are only pointers. They lead us to the water. But it’s up to us to drink.
The ego mind will do everything it can to make us avoid that.
Any question we would ask about what is true and what is false is itself egoic. When we are present these answers are irrelevant.
The analogy at the very end is genius.
I bet even the most pragmatic scientist would be humbled while the implications of that statement sinks in
Thank You Eckhart Tolle.❤❤
He told very clear: radio= brain 9th symphony = consciousness
Wish could hear longer version of this where he discussed in more depth. Seems like was just getting going.
Philosophy of mysteries at its deepest.
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent answer! ❤️❤️❤️
If the projector at a cinema can project images without inherent consciousness, then why not the brain? And when I look at an image I simply see a series of dots or pixels. The interpretation of them is a construct that takes place in my brain. It is mind created.
What about Alzheimer's.. The memories go, as the brain goes.. Hence the matter houses the program.
What a splendid way of saying that consciousness continues -or even further...that consciousness comes before the brain-yes most probably has PRODUCED the brain.; THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH!
Ooh, I know Eckhart knows his stuff, but he had difficulty answering this one, even though in his writings he most articulately writes about consciousness not being tied to the material body and thus potentially eternal, although, of course no one alive could ever know anything for sure. Her question, though, was whether the concept of the afterlife was an egoic extension of self. I suppose it could be, on the surface borne of fear of non-existence. Apart from “the human monkey-mind, however, lies an immaterial consciousness that is ubiquitous, interconnected among the living and non living (through love and memory and ritual), and possibly extending far beyond fear based thoughts. I am you. You are I. That is true whether the persons who love are physically alive on earth or not.
John LoConte thank you
I did not think that Eckhart had difficulty answering the question. What I saw was his usual carefully thought through answer. I also thought he answered the question, and that the answer was subtle.This is just my perception, of course.
The question assumes upfront that it is more reasonable to suppose we cease to exist when we die, and the reason why people resist this is because people desperately want themselves and loved ones to continue on.
What ought to determine our beliefs in any afterlife is reason and evidence.
So, for the former, is it reasonable to suppose the brain could somehow produce consciousness? And I think there's considerable difficulty in supposing it does.
Secondly, there's all the evidence. All these end of life experiences for example such as NDEs, deathbed visions, recovering ones mental faculties at the threshold of death and so on. Then there's the spontaneous apparent memories had by children of previous lives, and a lot of the details they give of that previous person is investigated and found to be correct. And other evidence.
Saying, "oh, but one's ego desperately wishes to survive!" cannot somehow negate all this reason and evidence.
Agreed.
We only need to recite HU... ! The very sound of God in Eckankar.
