interesting content. I've consistently felt driven to contribute to humanity's greatest pursuits, aspiring to wield influence, power,secrets to perfect health and security. Recognition has been a persistent desire, not stemming from pride or extravagance, but from a deep sense of identity and purpose. Internally, I yearn to delve into the depths of human understanding, seeking knowledge reserved for the select few. My aspiration is to embrace the enlightenment that our predecessors fervently wished for us to attain.
Your emotions are completely understandable; after all, you're only human. If you're truly seeking enlightenment, you can attain that and much more by becoming a member of the Illuminatus. While it may seem mythical, there are genuine avenues for entry available to you.

By meditating daily for a few years now, accessing that place of limitless space, I find myself connecting with others I know and meet quite enjoyably, kindly, pleasantly and meaningfully, in my personal and business life. Everything is better. The other day my car was vandalized and I felt hurt and had a sense of an invasion. But unlike in the past, I didn’t go off the deep end. I was able to return to my now-normal sense of inner peace quickly, accept it as just “something that happened” and when I mentioned it to friends who got very upset and “worried” for me I didn’t react to their commiseration, just responded “oh, well. It’s a lesson of some sort I’ll figure out.” And I stopped talking about it because I didn’t want to attract more inner distraction about it. Sometimes I think “What would Eckhart say about it? And “nothing” comes to mind. LOL. ❤❤❤😂😂😊😊😊😊Thanks for “nothing,” dear teacher.
Interesting. I had a similar experience when my car got broken in to. I just sort of stood above it, a little irritated only because I'd have to drive to the car repair place. I didn't feel the usual feeling ofbeing invaded. In fact, I began to feel sorry for the burglar, hoping that he or she would find similar peace and direction that would make him as happy as I am.
i saw a short video where a guy leaves his window down & sprinkles fake broken glass around & on car door to give it that pre-vandalized look. what i find helpful is when "something happens" for instance, someone stole something, i knew who it was, had no proof, & decided to let it go, but it would (& still does) surface in my mind, quick thots & imagery, ideas of "what i should have done" retaliations, etc. but instead of continuing to replay the "movie" in my head with all the accompanying emotions, i just feel directly the sensations in my gut, clenched jaw, shoulders tightening, etc.& if i experience it within as if my mind replaying this is like producing rough weather for my body, just as when the atmosphere outside produces rough weather, i don't take that personally & curse the wind, i put my hoody up & get on with my day. that particular theft made me look at something that was going on in my mind anyways, & if it isn't one thing it's another, the world of forms will never "behave" or get in an orderly line, but i do now have a response technique that is helpful & that doesn't lead to furthering the agitation, leading only to more suffering.

Eight hours, five days a week is a lot of your time. Never be that person who waits for the weekend. Also, be true to yourself, even when it threatens relationships you have. People will stream in and out of your life. Let them. Sometimes it's lonely but you're never really alone. I'm married and enjoy my husband's company, but I love walking alone in nature.

@@jamessikes6700 Thank you. You know, I noticed that this was written a month ago, and this past week, I've been overwhelmed with such anger and irritability that I haven't felt in a long time. I'm newly sober, a little over nine months, and I have to take into consideration that for decades, I've been covering up all these feelings and emotions.
When I was in critical condition for over a year I realized during this time that I had to give up my mind and my body because they both were not reliable. My identification with both of these was causing me to be in despair and suffering. Once I acknowledged to myself that I am not my mind and I am not my body could I feel that there is other dimensions within us and the universe. I became a NOBODY. My ego had died. I see now that the major dysfunction of humankind is the searching to always be somebody. They are chronically looking to the outside of themselves for this type of satisfaction. They don't understand that living this way will never fill the void. I now see things clearly and realize I am amongst all of these humans searching for something constantly when the inner piece can be felt beyond the mind and body.
Beautiful, Petra! You got it! I hope many will read your wise words and benefit. We identify with body and mind in any dream. Once awake that identification stops and suffering ends, we have all experienced that awakening from any dream. You awoke in the dream called life and discovered the fourth state that was always there but went unnoticed because we were mesmerized by the dream.
Thank you! When you are so AWAKE and see things so clearly it also is something to witness on a daily basis. You are able to see all of the strategies that the ego in people use to get some attention whether in a positive or negative way. You see the people living in constant FEAR that they are not enough.
I was blessed with a day of dwelling in that 4th state, nirvana or bliss. It was amazing.. everything I touched had an energy I could feel, the sunshine felt alive..all earthly things, like worry, money and drama…were irrelevant. It was a magical day. I always thought I had to work to get it back or do something but this wonderful man has told me that it is a part of me and is always there ❤❤❤
I’ve had exactly one of those days myself. I will never forget it. It came after weeks of regular meditation and practicing presence. I was smiling like an idiot all day. Even inanimate objects were alive with the presence of the people who made them. I hope one day to experience that state again.
I had a day like this too. I was meditating on a nature walk. I had some nagging worries that wouldn't go away and then I looked at the ocean and it seemed different somehow. Then i entered into a state where i could feel my worries still but they didn't matter and soon left. The rest of the day was peaceful (not used to that kind of peace for that long)
I have been a practising healer for more than 20 years I regularly speak to Angels and guides asking them to help me in my work I have meditated more trying to clear any stuck energy And a couple times lately just as I was going to have a medical procedure it was as if the energy within me and around me completely relaxed as if I had already been given a sedative so encouraging. Try to keep positive. Anything is possible. have faith in the love that surrounds you Love and light to all ❤
Danke Eckhart für alles, was Sie tun. Ich folge Ihnen seit fast zehn Jahren, und während ich immer noch jedes Mal lerne, haben Sie mir sehr geholfen. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
about 10 yrs for me too, funny how things that i missed/overlooked, from breathing , to not seeing how thoughts/ narratives create a whole false world & cause real pain. 🙏🕯️💜🤜🚪🔃🔄 ive heard it referred to by someone as having a nervous breakthrough ...
I love Eckhart! I've read and listened to him for years now. In my opinion, the concept he speaks of in this talk is his most valuable idea. I think it is especially helpful to people that are "New" to spiritual study. He speaks about it in his books, as well. To notice the "space" between the words when you or others are speaking; To "see" that Everything comes out of this Stillness, this Emptiness, and then realize how often we forget about it. Remembering that it is there, this Nothingness, is very therapeutic in any situation. It IS always here and is always in, and Only In, the present moment. .......So much love for this man. Thank you Eckhart.
@@arete7884 behind the Rainbow Hilton Waikiki I met a surfer in his 60's named the Governor. I sat for hours in his black van listening to music. I said, it would be less hot in here if the van was white. 2 days later I ran into him again. His van was white. I said, Governor you painted your van white. He said, it's always been white. Namaste.
for me, it happened like a giant ice sheet falling off from a glacier as it also came with extreme ecstasy and clear sight of the supreme in all things. I could cry just remembering that day. How blessed to be. truly
@susanmadison6466 For me, it isn't, but it's getting better. I've been diagnosed with dipolar depression in the past and so maybe for me personally the negative evil within us is at odds with the Supreme and is now on the losing end. How grateful I am...
In 1982 I was looking across open fields and I couldn't understand why I felt so good since then I've had many but it was this man who explained what it was will never forget him he is truly priceless
I have experienced it many times. Full Conciousness in deep sleep. Can't move any muscle but fully aware. Its stillness with absolutely full awareness. 🙏
You're almost there. Next time, relax and sink deeper. Picture in your mind exactly what you want to see and/or where you want to go. It'll get crazy for a bit but just let it happen
It's not something you need to attain..love this..because it's already here...thank you Eckhart for speaking simply...we have the tendency to complicate as humans.
ET is one of the best teachers I've ever experienced. He plants seeds without putting labels into your consciousness...so when the answers are found, they are the truth. They aren't programmed in. He's truly gifted and one of my favorites ❤
I have been meditating for years .I can sit for hours in that state.I have lucid dreaming .My vibration is very highly.I buzz on life just how it is in the now 🙏🌸
Thank you Eckhart for showing us the way to tap 'fourth' in easy to understand and practical way to practice. I really feel so peaceful many times .We in India have been talking about it , Ramana, Nisargadatta have spoken about it umpteen number of times. But who listens. We keep arguing and endlessly debating about it and get trapped in rituals and taking egoistic pride in our tradition.Hope more and more people tap this Presence right here right now. Many thanks , and my Namaskar to You.
I once smoked the Bufo Alvarius and reached a state of peace never experienced before. I had nothing to think or worry about. Now I understand that is my true nature. Thanks!
Interesting.. I believe 4th state is the quantum state attained through cultivating presence to the degree of losing self-identification and being still in silent observer mode.. you’re not a name, a job, a body but rather you are energy, consciousness.. then cultivate the frequencies of the heart. Heart Brain Coherence practice is excellent for this as if you vibrate in pure gratitude as if you just received something amazing you match the frequencies of the ultimate giver..the Universe.. or God. Then you transcend the limitations of the mind and blend with universal mind which includes all realities.. all possibilities…
Wow I have been wandering why I reached the dreamless state for over 6 months but I have been in it for over a year! I’m glad to know I’m where I need to be! And yes space in the mind is the key to happiness if you really listen to how it is explained ! I’m so glad I found Tollie! ❤
I have read and studied and practiced Buddhist meditation. I even had a brief moment of oneness with everything that I experienced as return to my true home and felt like returning to my true self that I was completely familiar with but don’t experience in my day to day life. It was happiness so familiar yet hadn’t felt it maybe since I was an infant. Yet in my day to day Life I am so dysfunctional destroying my marriage and losing jobs. Most of the time I curse my existence.
Here is a good morning prayer of intention for that: I love myself unconditionally, and forgive myself for everything that happened yesterday. And I love everyone else unconditionally, and love them for everything that happened yesterday as well.” Just say it every day when you wake up and all of a sudden your life will be filled with love.
Those glimpses are chance when you can connect to yourself if you already are seeker of yourself, fourth stage where you have no thoughts when you free yourself from net for ever and so on.
I remember walking down the road late at night a few months ago, not really thinking. I then suddenly had a very strong feeling of being in a dream, like I was lucid dreaming while walking down the road it only lasted about 30 seconds but it definitely was a shift or a small experience of what eckhart might be talking about.
Gold! I read about 4th state of consciousness (or watched it in youtube) but never appreciated it or fully understand how important it is till Eckhart explained it this way. 😆👍
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience of 4th state of Consciousness. Thuria state, as Hindu literature describe it. Lovely description, and i recognize my experience too, many many times, until everyday regularly practicing Transcendental meditation that brings you naturally and effortlessly to your inword kingdome of wakefull alertness in deep "sleeping" physiological mode. That is Wonderful, calmness, happiness, allis so normal and blusfull
Once I went to see the Dalai Lama in Portland Oregon, many years ago. I had to leave early and as I was behind the metal construct just listening to him talk as I was making my way out of the crowd, it was the wind in the trees above me that caught my attention. I expanded out. All traffic noise stopped. All visual images were out of focus but I was not aware of anything even my name or even " I " as any kind of concept. Certainly no other as in other people, His Holiness or any other holy beings (the rest of us,) lol. The wind in the leaves has always been a trigger for a shift in consciousness for me. It was pure bliss and awareness I rarely reach at that level. Perhaps His Holiness helped me reach my Holiness that now moment.
I was thinking this morning, haha that thoughts are actually mini dreams. We can receive a thought and go off into that thought. Whether that thought might be about finally having a relationship with the one you are interested in or if it's building a building of some type.
My friend and I used to call that Mood....not mood in the ordinary sense of the word, we were young teenagers. Lucky to be privy to that all our last lives, especially connected to making things...Music!
Your videos always get me back on track if I'm off it so to speak. January of 2022 I had what I guess is called a spiritual Awakening or something like that. This event of awakening was created from a strong feeling of self created pain from past events. It was like all the self created mental pain and trauma which was self created melted and dissolved. I remember at that moment... actually just before Awakening that I had the thought and memory of times in my past when I just felt perfect emotionally and enjoyed the world at that moment. That day very shortly later after that thought their was a shift in my mind somehow. That memory I realize at this moment came from when I was much younger, and my mind was probably less burdened by life's traumas too. Since then I am reading your "Power Of Now" and I watch your videos and I try and absorb the knowledge you give. Life is so much better for me now. I'm actively working on realizing when my Ego is in action in daily events. So much mental noise we create needlessly and so much self created anguish. I've avoided usless Ego confrontations by being aware of the possible events before it happened.

True Spiritual teachers process a deep Humble and Meek spirit that is undeniable which is a sign of trustworthiness and draws people who are seeking truth. This Man is such a Person and because so please steadfastly with a single spiritual Ear hearken to his Words and you will find Grace, Peace and a new way that leads to life as it was Created to Be. It is in the Source we Live, Move, and have our very Being. Seek with all your Heart the Source and you will FIND. When you Find your true SELF the Door will be Opened and you will be who You are Created to BE. The great Question is this? To Be or Not To Be it is your Choice. AMEN
@@jr6200 Not directly, but in his book The Power of Now he describes that experience. His body trembles, he feels himself entering a vortex of energy and falls asleep. Those are the symptoms of the kundalini in its complete process. The tremor is due to the kundalini energy passing through the body, the vortex is due to the fact that such energy passes through the seventh chakra (sahasrara), and sleep occurs as a consequence of that. Then one wakes up in a state of enlightenment, peace or ecstasy.
Waking dreamless sleep is possible. It's a state of consciousness infinitely deeper than ordinary state of thinking and doing. It's greatest tragedy in human life to miss it. Also known as inner spaciousness, presence, stillness. It's already in you all the time. Don't think it's hard to achieve it. The present moment is it! It's just between two thoughts. It's who you already are. In your night sleep, you need both dream state and dreamless state. Otherwise you go insane. Likewise in your wakeful hours, you need both dream state and dreamless (spacious) state; otherwise you also go insane. Thanks Eckhart. 31 August 2022. 🦆🐛🦋🐦🌷🐌🌱🌼🍑🌛🥁
Wishing every one here a wonderful journey in this life. Remember that it’s the minds quality to help you survive, and to turn everything into a problem. There is nothing to fix. Not even your mind. As a dancer, and consciously feeling my body, improvising with movement. Becoming aware of every small inch of the body, makes you feel so a life. A mind can only relax when the body is felt completely and relaxed. When the body is fully experienced all your senses are open and a life. Your mind will be quiet automatically when the body is fully experienced . You might think that you are familiar with your body , yet the depth of how you can experience it is infinite. After 30 years of training I can tell you, it’s an ongoing journey. If you never dance, start dancing and feeling your body. Every inch. It doesn’t matter what your mind thinks about it. You just ignore that, and bring your attention back to every little hair on your skin, the temperature in your skin, or how it’s touching your cloths, the way your bones move in space, how your muscles flex and stretch, you can imagine liquid moving threw your body and all kinds of other imagery you can come up with. Just wanted to share it, since it brings me a lot of joy , daily practice can be done any moment, even when walking or doing the dishes, your mind will become more quiet and will create les trouble, hope it can bring joy to someone else.
I'm glad you spoke about the fact that certain inner turmoil prevents a person from achieving that inner peace. When you mentioned finding that inner peace I immediately thought it must have come at a time when your life wasn't as burdened with hardship. Because in contrast I realised that having PTSD makes it very difficult to find inner piece. And I believe a person would have to first be free from such trauma before they are able to maintain that spacesness you describe?
I think that level of consciousness heals you in the deepest parts. I found this state by just being completely still, relaxing in my bed. I listen to these two guys who helped me as well:. Raja Choudhury and Yogiraj SatGurunath Siddhanath. Be blessed with bliss🙏🤗
I'm 66also and I experience that same response when I'm out in the communityxot feels so good to know that if you go out feeling negative or angry I m aware that IL attract angry negative People😪so i check my mood and thoughts before I leave the house because it's so much better to attract happiness💯💯💯
... one thing which puts me into that 4th state is: Practicing standing on one foot and going with the arms flailing as they need to, to stabalize, is a great standalone activity/ meditation. It forces the whole being to concentrate on this body task and work through the brainstem (cerebellum) to literally rebalance with your brain (No thoughts are possible during this practice! :)).
When I was young and in school… We called this spacious place “Spacing Out!” 😁😄 ha ha ha we didn’t realize is was a most desirable state of consciousness!!! I love you Eckhart! Robin🥰🤗🌺
I didn't know much about the 'Turiya' state though I remember reading about it somewhere. After watching your video I understand it is same as the fourth state of consciousness, the ever-present Presence in us. If we can call it, 'deep sleep' while in the 'wakeful' state. This deep sleep in wakeful state doesn't mean unconsciousness, but rather a state free of suffering and the sufferer. Somebody please feel free to correct me as I am only writing what occurs in me now.
It’s accurate, the state of consciousness is achieving a level of consciousness and awareness that is deeper than what we are born with, it is achieved through spiritual practice and to be honest with you, divine visions that one on the road to enlightenment will achieve, out of body experiences if you will. After the 3rd and fourth mystical vision, the state starts to awake within one and it’s as if your mind starts relaxing itself automatically, deep breathing exercises and meditation become one’s baseline and therefor one’s consciousness always has the ability to remain calm and be truly aware in any situation.

Beautiful post!
Nicely said… “thanks for nothing!”
i saw a short video where a guy leaves his window down & sprinkles fake broken glass around & on car door
to give it that pre-vandalized look.
what i find helpful
is when "something happens" for instance, someone stole something, i knew who it was, had no proof, & decided to let it go,
but it would (& still does) surface in my mind, quick thots & imagery, ideas of "what i should have done" retaliations, etc. but instead of continuing to replay the "movie" in my head with all the accompanying emotions,
i just feel directly the sensations in my gut, clenched jaw, shoulders tightening, etc.& if i experience it within as if my mind replaying this is like producing rough weather for my body,
just as when the atmosphere outside produces rough weather, i don't take that personally & curse the wind, i put my hoody up & get on with my day.
that particular theft made me look at something that was going on in my mind anyways, & if it isn't one thing it's another,
the world of forms will never "behave" or get in an orderly line,
but i do now have a response technique that is helpful & that doesn't lead to furthering the agitation, leading only to more suffering.

You are able to see all of the strategies that the ego in people use to get some attention whether in a positive or negative way. You see the people living in constant FEAR that they are not enough.
You are spot on Petra.!
I agree intirely
I'm getting there

so why that "natural" human tendency to grassp to the material?
is it because of the capitalist education interests?
Thank you again and again my dearest teacher.
I was blessed with a day of dwelling in that 4th state, nirvana or bliss. It was amazing.. everything I touched had an energy I could feel, the sunshine felt alive..all earthly things, like worry, money and drama…were irrelevant. It was a magical day. I always thought I had to work to get it back or do something but this wonderful man has told me that it is a part of me and is always there ❤❤❤
I’ve had exactly one of those days myself. I will never forget it. It came after weeks of regular meditation and practicing presence. I was smiling like an idiot all day. Even inanimate objects were alive with the presence of the people who made them. I hope one day to experience that state again.

I had a day like this too. I was meditating on a nature walk. I had some nagging worries that wouldn't go away and then I looked at the ocean and it seemed different somehow. Then i entered into a state where i could feel my worries still but they didn't matter and soon left. The rest of the day was peaceful (not used to that kind of peace for that long)
Eckhart thank you so much I honor the spirit in you thank you thank you thank you
It is a pleasure to watch him speak.
You can feel the inner spaciousness..and when it closes up.
DEAREST EKHART TOLLE, THANK YOU 😊 🙏 💖 FOR TEACHING 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 PRESENCE
It is strange, but as I listened to you, you became my presence and I was present with you.
I have been a practising healer for more than 20 years I regularly speak to Angels and guides asking them to help me in my work I have meditated more trying to clear any stuck energy And a couple times lately just as I was going to have a medical procedure it was as if the energy within me and around me completely relaxed as if I had already been given a sedative so encouraging. Try to keep positive. Anything is possible. have faith in the love that surrounds you Love and light to all ❤
Danke Eckhart für alles, was Sie tun. Ich folge Ihnen seit fast zehn Jahren, und während ich immer noch jedes Mal lerne, haben Sie mir sehr geholfen. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
about 10 yrs for me too,
funny how things that i missed/overlooked, from breathing , to not seeing how thoughts/ narratives create a whole false world & cause real pain.

ive heard it referred to by someone as having a nervous breakthrough ...
I love Eckhart! I've read and listened to him for years now. In my opinion, the concept he speaks of in this talk is his most valuable idea. I think it is especially helpful to people that are "New" to spiritual study. He speaks about it in his books, as well. To notice the "space" between the words when you or others are speaking; To "see" that Everything comes out of this Stillness, this Emptiness, and then realize how often we forget about it. Remembering that it is there, this Nothingness, is very therapeutic in any situation. It IS always here and is always in, and Only In, the present moment. .......So much love for this man. Thank you Eckhart.
He us not saying anything new. There is nothing in the Universe that is not a double edged sword. The Singularity. A cup of water. A shadow.

Thank you, dear Eckhart. Space and Emptiness in Consciousness.
for me, it happened like a giant ice sheet falling off from a glacier as it also came with extreme ecstasy and clear sight of the supreme in all things. I could cry just remembering that day. How blessed to be. truly
same extreme bliss and oneness in all things without personal self
Is it consistent?
Still using social media though? So I doubt your claim
@@mavis3916 Your statement is so dumb how would that make any sense with op comment
@susanmadison6466 For me, it isn't, but it's getting better. I've been diagnosed with dipolar depression in the past and so maybe for me personally the negative evil within us is at odds with the Supreme and is now on the losing end. How grateful I am...
In 1982 I was looking across open fields and I couldn't understand why I felt so good since then I've had many but it was this man who explained what it was will never forget him he is truly priceless
So beautiful, Ramana called Turiya the substratum of being. This is the Self, Pure Consciousness. Thank you for this channel.
I have experienced it many times. Full Conciousness in deep sleep. Can't move any muscle but fully aware. Its stillness with absolutely full awareness. 🙏
You're almost there. Next time, relax and sink deeper. Picture in your mind exactly what you want to see and/or where you want to go. It'll get crazy for a bit but just let it happen
Understood, Thank you so much. 🙏

Whaaaat?
Research lucid dreaming if you want to have some fun in that state.
I accidentally went catatonic during surgery
This really resonated with me. I’ve listen to Eckhart for a long time and this is one of his most profound speeches.
A supreme master indeed. He finds natural ways of expressing the experience of transcendental "spaciousness."
It's not something you need to attain..love this..because it's already here...thank you Eckhart for speaking simply...we have the tendency to complicate as humans.
You are a wonderful Being Eckhart. It's great sharing space with you.
i was here and saying i appreciate you all there.
ET is one of the best teachers I've ever experienced. He plants seeds without putting labels into your consciousness...so when the answers are found, they are the truth. They aren't programmed in. He's truly gifted and one of my favorites ❤
agree
I have been meditating for years .I can sit for hours in that state.I have lucid dreaming .My vibration is very highly.I buzz on life just how it is in the now 🙏🌸
Lucky you!
I was always told the heart is treacherous later finding out it is actually the mind , the negative ego
The most wonderful thing about Eckhart, he shows us the way to let ourselves off the hook. He’s wonderful and a real gift to humanity.🙏
This information about attainment has been very helpful to me. There is nothing to attain, only discovering what is already here, as you say.
Listening you is peace
Thank u echkart 🌹🙏

Thank you Eckhart for showing us the way to tap 'fourth' in easy to understand and practical way to practice. I really feel so peaceful many times .We in India have been talking about it , Ramana, Nisargadatta have spoken about it umpteen number of times. But who listens. We keep arguing and endlessly debating about it and get trapped in rituals and taking egoistic pride in our tradition.Hope more and more people tap this Presence right here right now.
Many thanks , and my Namaskar to You.

Interesting.. I believe 4th state is the quantum state attained through cultivating presence to the degree of losing self-identification and being still in silent observer mode.. you’re not a name, a job, a body but rather you are energy, consciousness.. then cultivate the frequencies of the heart. Heart Brain Coherence practice is excellent for this as if you vibrate in pure gratitude as if you just received something amazing you match the frequencies of the ultimate giver..the Universe.. or God. Then you transcend the limitations of the mind and blend with universal mind which includes all realities.. all possibilities…
This state is beautiful i been a couple times

Thanks ekhart I love to listen to you I get so peaceful 🙏🙏🙏
Wow I have been wandering why I reached the dreamless state for over 6 months but I have been in it for over a year! I’m glad to know I’m where I need to be! And yes space in the mind is the key to happiness if you really listen to how it is explained ! I’m so glad I found Tollie! ❤
This really explains the teachings of the Mandukya Upanishad as clearly as possible.
"Na antah pragyam na bahis pragyam" vala h Verse 7
Yeah, but the one difference is, the guys who wrote the Mandukya Upanishads didn't take stacks of MONEY from naive followers! Lol!
his teaching is so very true!! I'm only grateful 🙏
Thank you Eckhart 🙏🏼
I have read and studied and practiced Buddhist meditation. I even had a brief moment of oneness with everything that I experienced as return to my true home and felt like returning to my true self that I was completely familiar with but don’t experience in my day to day life. It was happiness so familiar yet hadn’t felt it maybe since I was an infant. Yet in my day to day Life I am so dysfunctional destroying my marriage and losing jobs. Most of the time I curse my existence.
Been there, its painful.. Keep putting yourself in good, quiet, focused, situations and I'm certain things will turn around for you soon David.
Here is a good morning prayer of intention for that: I love myself unconditionally, and forgive myself for everything that happened yesterday. And I love everyone else unconditionally, and love them for everything that happened yesterday as well.” Just say it every day when you wake up and all of a sudden your life will be filled with love.
Those glimpses are chance when you can connect to yourself if you already are seeker of yourself, fourth stage where you have no thoughts when you free yourself from net for ever and so on.
I remember walking down the road late at night a few months ago, not really thinking. I then suddenly had a very strong feeling of being in a dream, like I was lucid dreaming while walking down the road it only lasted about 30 seconds but it definitely was a shift or a small experience of what eckhart might be talking about.
It might be! That’s very interesting! 😊

Gold! I read about 4th state of consciousness (or watched it in youtube) but never appreciated it or fully understand how important it is till Eckhart explained it this way. 😆👍
What a gem you are. Essence of self 🙏♥️. Explained so beautifully.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience of 4th state of Consciousness. Thuria state, as Hindu literature describe it. Lovely description, and i recognize my experience too, many many times, until everyday regularly practicing Transcendental meditation that brings you naturally and effortlessly to your inword kingdome of wakefull alertness in deep "sleeping" physiological mode. That is Wonderful, calmness, happiness, allis so normal and blusfull

Excellent this and so simple once you’ve attained “extra consciousness”.

Greetings, enjoy listening to Eckhart Tolle!
Amazing! you right! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We go without knowing that peace is available to us.
There is also 5th state called turiatita. ITs state when soul,naturaly in 4th state is connected to Krishna who is above us all.
thank you Eckart for everything
Yes, its a wonderful. The absence of thoughts. Enormous space. That vast emptiness!!
The background to your life is continously there
Greetings beloved dear ones 💕💫
This is interesting way of saying this. A new angle. Thank you. I can sense it as you say it
Thank you, Mr. Tolle. I am grateful to you. 🙏💌
I always love hearing you speak. You have such flow, wisdom and warmth in your voice. Have a wonderful weekend, lots of love fro Cornwall UK 🥰
Once I went to see the Dalai Lama in Portland Oregon, many years ago. I had to leave early and as I was behind the metal construct just listening to him talk as I was making my way out of the crowd, it was the wind in the trees above me that caught my attention. I expanded out. All traffic noise stopped. All visual images were out of focus but I was not aware of anything even my name or even " I " as any kind of concept. Certainly no other as in other people, His Holiness or any other holy beings (the rest of us,) lol. The wind in the leaves has always been a trigger for a shift in consciousness for me. It was pure bliss and awareness I rarely reach at that level. Perhaps His Holiness helped me reach my Holiness that now moment.
Beautifully put, precious.
thanks for all your help to the World
I was thinking this morning, haha that thoughts are actually mini dreams.
We can receive a thought and go off into that thought.
Whether that thought might be about finally having a relationship with the one you are interested in or if it's building a building of some type.
My friend and I used to call that Mood....not mood in the ordinary sense of the word, we were young teenagers. Lucky to be privy to that all our last lives, especially connected to making things...Music!
Such profound wisdom put so simply! Blessings kind sir👍🙏
This was good. It seems to take things to another level in that we can realize that its already there, in a manner of speaking.
Your videos always get me back on track if I'm off it so to speak. January of 2022 I had what I guess is called a spiritual Awakening or something like that. This event of awakening was created from a strong feeling of self created pain from past events. It was like all the self created mental pain and trauma which was self created melted and dissolved. I remember at that moment... actually just before Awakening that I had the thought and memory of times in my past when I just felt perfect emotionally and enjoyed the world at that moment. That day very shortly later after that thought their was a shift in my mind somehow. That memory I realize at this moment came from when I was much younger, and my mind was probably less burdened by life's traumas too. Since then I am reading your "Power Of Now" and I watch your videos and I try and absorb the knowledge you give. Life is so much better for me now. I'm actively working on realizing when my Ego is in action in daily events. So much mental noise we create needlessly and so much self created anguish. I've avoided usless Ego confrontations by being aware of the possible events before it happened.
Wow... I thought the fact that I hardly dream ... or remember them (I thought) was a bad thing. Thank you🙏

True Spiritual teachers process a deep Humble and Meek spirit that is undeniable which is a sign of trustworthiness and draws people who are seeking truth. This Man is such a Person and because so please steadfastly with a single spiritual Ear hearken to his Words and you will find Grace, Peace and a new way that leads to life as it was Created to Be. It is in the Source we Live, Move, and have our very Being. Seek with all your Heart the Source and you will FIND. When you Find your true SELF the Door will be Opened and you will be who You are Created to BE. The great Question is this? To Be or Not To Be it is your Choice. AMEN
The story of Eckhart Tolle is the awakening of the Kundalini energy. This is how what happened to him is named.
I've never heard him relate to it that way. Have you heard him describe his own experience through Kundalini?
@@jr6200 Not directly, but in his book The Power of Now he describes that experience. His body trembles, he feels himself entering a vortex of energy and falls asleep. Those are the symptoms of the kundalini in its complete process. The tremor is due to the kundalini energy passing through the body, the vortex is due to the fact that such energy passes through the seventh chakra (sahasrara), and sleep occurs as a consequence of that. Then one wakes up in a state of enlightenment, peace or ecstasy.
@@huellasenelmar1 I see what you mean. It would be nice to ask his reaction to your theory.
@@jr6200 It's funny that he never mentioned it, as if he didn't know. It would be eye-opening for everyone who listens to him and for so long.
Waking dreamless sleep is possible. It's a state of consciousness infinitely deeper than ordinary state of thinking and doing. It's greatest tragedy in human life to miss it.
Also known as inner spaciousness, presence, stillness. It's already in you all the time.
Don't think it's hard to achieve it. The present moment is it! It's just between two thoughts. It's who you already are.
In your night sleep, you need both dream state and dreamless state. Otherwise you go insane. Likewise in your wakeful hours, you need both dream state and dreamless (spacious) state; otherwise you also go insane.
Thanks Eckhart. 31 August 2022. 🦆🐛🦋🐦🌷🐌🌱🌼🍑🌛🥁
Amen brother!!!
Wishing every one here a wonderful journey in this life. Remember that it’s the minds quality to help you survive, and to turn everything into a problem. There is nothing to fix. Not even your mind. As a dancer, and consciously feeling my body, improvising with movement. Becoming aware of every small inch of the body, makes you feel so a life. A mind can only relax when the body is felt completely and relaxed. When the body is fully experienced all your senses are open and a life. Your mind will be quiet automatically when the body is fully experienced . You might think that you are familiar with your body , yet the depth of how you can experience it is infinite. After 30 years of training I can tell you, it’s an ongoing journey. If you never dance, start dancing and feeling your body. Every inch. It doesn’t matter what your mind thinks about it. You just ignore that, and bring your attention back to every little hair on your skin, the temperature in your skin, or how it’s touching your cloths, the way your bones move in space, how your muscles flex and stretch, you can imagine liquid moving threw your body and all kinds of other imagery you can come up with. Just wanted to share it, since it brings me a lot of joy , daily practice can be done any moment, even when walking or doing the dishes, your mind will become more quiet and will create les trouble, hope it can bring joy to someone else.
Thank you.
Great insight and guidance, thank you for this inspiring post!!
I love your post, and it's so helpful! Thank you!
I love your post, and it's so helpful! Thank you!
I'm glad you spoke about the fact that certain inner turmoil prevents a person from achieving that inner peace. When you mentioned finding that inner peace I immediately thought it must have come at a time when your life wasn't as burdened with hardship. Because in contrast I realised that having PTSD makes it very difficult to find inner piece. And I believe a person would have to first be free from such trauma before they are able to maintain that spacesness you describe?
I think that level of consciousness heals you in the deepest parts. I found this state by just being completely still, relaxing in my bed. I listen to these two guys who helped me as well:. Raja Choudhury and Yogiraj SatGurunath Siddhanath. Be blessed with bliss🙏🤗
Amaze me everyday, thank you Sir.
I always learn something from listening. Thanks.
I'm 66also and I experience that same response when I'm out in the communityxot feels so good to know that if you go out feeling negative or angry I m aware that IL attract angry negative People😪so i check my mood and thoughts before I leave the house because it's so much better to attract happiness💯💯💯
... one thing which puts me into that 4th state is: Practicing standing on one foot and going with the arms flailing as they need to, to stabalize, is a great standalone activity/ meditation. It forces the whole being to concentrate on this body task and work through the brainstem (cerebellum) to literally rebalance with your brain (No thoughts are possible during this practice! :)).
yeah that requires focus
So grateful for all you've been sharing with us.
I feel what Echkart Tolle said Jiddu Krishnamurthy said all his life in his talks.
jeasus powerful words 👏 can move mountains to reveal a field of dreams and let compassion. be your life compas
When I was young and in school… We called this spacious place “Spacing Out!” 😁😄 ha ha ha we didn’t realize is was a most desirable state of consciousness!!! I love you Eckhart! Robin🥰🤗🌺
Inner spaciousness in-between thoughts
I didn't know much about the 'Turiya' state though I remember reading about it somewhere. After watching your video I understand it is same as the fourth state of consciousness, the ever-present Presence in us. If we can call it, 'deep sleep' while in the 'wakeful' state. This deep sleep in wakeful state doesn't mean unconsciousness, but rather a state free of suffering and the sufferer. Somebody please feel free to correct me as I am only writing what occurs in me now.
Right on!!!
It’s accurate, the state of consciousness is achieving a level of consciousness and awareness that is deeper than what we are born with, it is achieved through spiritual practice and to be honest with you, divine visions that one on the road to enlightenment will achieve, out of body experiences if you will. After the 3rd and fourth mystical vision, the state starts to awake within one and it’s as if your mind starts relaxing itself automatically, deep breathing exercises and meditation become one’s baseline and therefor one’s consciousness always has the ability to remain calm and be truly aware in any situation.
