      I've always been aware of the dichotomy of the (fear-fed) ego-self vs one's (love-led) Inner/Higher Self. So I've never derived my sense of self from my societal/occupational roles or relationship to others. A woman who returned from an NDE said that while she was "on the other side", she was no one's mother/daughter/wife/sister/boss/whatever. "I was just ME", she reported.
      Well, such has been my conscious experience since childhood, hence my perpetual lightness of being, my freedom. I apply no labels to myself; I have never even called myself a "woman", haha, as I'm aware of the litany of assumptions/beliefs that attend the construction of womanhood.
      I'm just enjoying this earthly journey in a biologically female vehicle of flesh-and-bone--I take good care of it but never identify with it. My strongest connection/bond has always been to my Inner (true) Self. All roads--paved in whatever manner of experience--lead Home to one's Self. I'm already Home.

    When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening.
    When they said that she was isolating, she was healing.
    When they said she was acting funny, she was growing.
    When they said that she had changed, she was evolving.
    When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within.

    I say payers of self love and forgiveness every morning. I was severely abused and shamed by my mother as a child. Since I started saying that I love myself unconditionally I am a kinder, more peaceful person. It’s not about self image, it’s just about love. I meditate daily as well. So loving yourself and being present are not mutually exclusive.

I don't need to analyse, debate or reason with my mind why it's a story any more because I have long since accepted that all thoughts, opinions on, ideas and beliefs are produced by the mind and there for can't possibly be anything but a mind story. What is, is and can be experienced by all without thoughts (Sun and Moon) but absolutely everything and anything that is dependent on attention and belief for its existence can only ever possibly be a story, and that's all thoughts and thinking are, " just a story" in our minds 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I watched this short video multiple times. It’s such a breath of fresh air and a weight off my shoulders knowing that I don’t need to love my self. It’s almost as exhausting trying to love yourself as it is hating yourself. But I don’t have to love myself. That’s an egoistic thought. An intermediate level of consciousness. Going above that level of consciousness is knowing there is no “myself” to love I am as I am. A presence. I am. No need to create this concept of identity. I am being.❤ thank you eckart for giving me this gift it’s more helpful then you could ever know……

    When I go into deep presence I am not a name, a body, or any earthly (programmed) identity. I am energy...frequency. SPIRIT...that is my TRUE identity born from love...all it takes is re-aligning with who you truly are because at the foundation of that is LOVE and you cannot help but to love yourself because you KNOW you are of divine source.
    Also when you lose that egoic programmed self identity you learned from society (subconsciously) and become present with your true identity you enter the quantum field where all time and possibility exist, or in other words you blend with Source, or God and then you tap into the ultimate creative force of the universe and create your reality from a place of unity with God rather than from fear born out of programmed separation from God, which is why most fail at law of attraction work no matter how hard they try, you need to make this shift first.

      I had 2 NDE's and saw that we are all pure unconditional Love. We learn that everything is a transaction, that we have to earn love and there are rewards and punishments. We learn to NOT be ourselves. In the NDE's, there was no "God" of any religion handing out rewards, punishments or judgements. I saw that I agreed to "this life" and the agreement was made out of pure Love. I was asked a question. If words were used, it would have been something like "Can you perceive everything, welcome everything in the same way you are being welcomed and held right now"? I saw that the challenge of this life was to remember who we ALL are and then live from there while embodied in this human experience.

    Society urges us to be different, so that we’ll fit in to it. We end up feeling less than because we ARE different. And that makes people uncomfortable. Loving ourselves is portrayed as selfish, self-absorbed.
    Loving ourselves is accepting ourselves and perhaps making changes that will benefit us.

    I remember hearing this “love yourself” since the beginning of my path to Self-discovery and I always felt a bit strange about it. It didn’t seem plausible and now, after hearing Elkhart’s explanation, it makes sense to me now. Loving yourself means accepting yourself as you are just as you do in accepting others as they are. God loves us in this same way. It’s nice not feeling self critical or overly satisfied with one’s self. There is a constant contentment in each present moment.

    I like how Eckhart Tolle explains going beyond loving and hating yourself. The chatter in my mind can be very negative at times and I can fall into a habit of identifying with it. Eckhart Tolle's teachings have helped me disconnect from that stream of thoughts and have helped reminded me of the importance of the present moment. The advice I always got when I identified with those thoughts was to learn to love myself, but that always felt impossible. Coming to a point beyond identifying with the thoughts...now I can see a way out of this mental construct, the ego identity. When people spoke of self love, I always felt trapped because I felt that I had to get to a point where that was the case for me.

    A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
    My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
    Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
    The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
    For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
    Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
    The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
    The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
    The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
    Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
    On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
    For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
    NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

    Hi Eckhart!..I love your analogy about animals not being self conscious of who they are. Yet I have always noticed this about them and felt the same way about myself. It doesn't matter what we look like in the flesh, but rather what kind of spirit we are inside. Thus I remember one time an ex girlfriend had asked me if her bum looked too big in her jeans and I replied, no!..not at all dear!..and yet in my mind I was sighing and thinking...For God Sake, does my dog come over to me then ask me if his bum looks too big in his fur, or if his tail is too long for his body, or if his paws are too thin for his legs?..I found it so ridiculous to ask me such irrelevant questions, and now it's just me and my dog. I'm sorry Ladies!..but this is a defect that some of you need to eradicate from your minds. Men too, if they all worry about they're self images the whole time. Thank you for yet another great reminder and confirmation that me and my dog are on the right path Eckhart!

For I ain't perfect either, though I've done a lot of shadow work on myself in the past and I had to recognize the flawed side of my nature. And yet it was a harsh truth to swallow realizing the lower sides of myself, but it was the only way to rise above it and try and become my higher self. I'm still getting there slowly but surely.

    I know myself not as a image but a nonbeing within this body in an objective reality. I must love myself or rather this body as it is my way around, in and out of this reality. Call it death or salvation whatever we may. But this body is needed for this earthly mission. Don't abuse it use your awareness to care for and heal your body. optimize your body. Don't hold a mental construct of self there really is no self. just this mind body, soul experience. The notion of self is the largest attachment that we must drop. the idea/illusion of self is the root of all suffering

    Let me break this down as I see it.
    Quote; " mind pattern: Its not your choice ( ie not the brains choice) whether you love yourself or hate yourself, it is only the source's choice within every intelligent species that makes the decision how to evolve and who to breed with because it sees the image that it could fit with to breed with and evolve for its survival. The/ones image shows future faults to the source so it can adjust. Hello, it's not your choice. It's been doing that since creation. When your source makes you feel good about yourself ( ie itself) that means the source has advised the brain via the ego tool that the source has made the right decision. When there is conflict between the source and the brain, that only occurs when the brain is adopting external beliefs which is an attempt to confuse the source by someone telling you the ego is not a good thing. . The source is even trying to save you from confusion through every part of your lifes journey, it's been doing that since creation, it's not your choice. To know the source is to be all knowing therefore the question " how can I love myself" would not even be a question. The comparison for animals used here is no comparison, except for the animals source is pure survival of a source and an owner trying to manipulate their pets brain.
    This is a very problematic teacher teaching something that is not his choice.
