a fun way to look at it stage 1 - you ARE the movie and don't realize you are in it. stage 2 - you begin to sit in the audience and watch the movie = the observer stage 3 - you realize you can watch yourself watching the movie stage 4 - you are in the projection booth running the film stage 5 - who makes the film? stop now. can you see yourself seeing yourself? how many layers are there?
I like that! Great stuff. Reminds me of Rupert Spira - he talks about awareness being like the screen in which the movie is projected on. You can see the movie, but you don't necessarily see the screen it is being projected on... nevertheless, the screen is always there. Thanks for the comment Rosedragon :)
You have produced two absolutely wonderful videos re Tolle's Power of Now. I am using them as teaching tools in my mindfulness meditation classes. Thank you ever so much. Thank you too in the second video for including feminine images. Stellar job!!
Hi David! Thank you very much, I appreciate your support. Oh yea, I’m trying to include a variety of characters but I do sometimes forget to mix it up a bit. Thanks again!
Love these videos. Ironically, as I was listening to this, my ego was saying "I wish I had a fraction of this guy's wisdom at that age." And "I have wasted so much time in my life worrying"
When you yield to the flow of life and do not oppose it, you become free If you cut off from your emotions, they'll eventually surface as physical symptoms acceptance of the emotion + presence= peace The emotion should be felt and then you move past it, you don't need to dwell on it or bottle it up when you keep your attention on your body, you'll be anchored in the now There is infinitely more intelligence in being than in your mind. Change your state from being out of the body and trapped in the mind to being in the body and present in the now You'll never be free until you stop depriving your sense of self from your mind and ego By becoming aware of the empty space around you, you simultaneously become aware of the space of no mind, of pure consciousness.
What an amazing video - you are making a very valuable contribution to the world. Loved part 1 as well - it has helped me immensely in getting into the now.
Thankyou so much brother, atlast today i exactly found that what are the vibrations un my hands legs focused more then get more stronger and a osscilating inside jelly which i always feel alomg with vibrations in hands and legs whenever i sit still and try to concentrate inside, i jave did this a lot of time i still dont know the steps to go in but i always luked to experience it so my mind automatically always does that for me NATURALLY i tried telling this to my mother that i lot of times witness this exp but as obvious i didn't knew exactly so i couldn't exolain with 100 per clarity so i never found what is inside but i knew it that something significant lies inside its not the blood circulation in nerves its significantly different , thanks for explaining INNER BODY 😊,, also i want to tell that vibrations and energy in hands and legs i can exp frequently but its sometimes only when i exp the iscillating energy inside my UPOER body like inside chest or little lower in i cannot spot but this happensn, when i get even more deep gradually in the inside state. And till now i isolated in a position and left my control on body parts and get slowly into exp the vibrations and energy stae,. Video was helpful ❤
Bravo! I have used your two Power of Now videos as a review prior to my beginning (tomorrow) an 11-day S.N. Goenka Vipassana silent meditation retreat. What a fantastic review and also send off - thank you so much for these gifts.
Thanks LC. Enjoy the Vipassana retreat! Should be a great experience. When I do scanning meditation (kind of like Vipassana), I feel like I am a sensation receptor. To be everything you have to be no thing.
Thank you for these videos 💖 I have been studying the power of now for months along with the Tao Te Ching and the simple three step process that you outlined really helped to bring together all the information together for me. You are doing great work on here ✨
@@wisdom-for-life Definitly! If i could suggest one book to every single person in thia world, it would be the power of now. I have listened this summarys for 50 times at least, to keep reminding me of teachings of Echkart Tolle. Btw. great work ! Thanks.
Im a bit uninterested reading this book ,but i see a lot of beautiful comments about this book ,thats why i make myself motivated to read the book. I have a question though, does this book help me to achieve my goals? For those who already read the book. I will really appreciate your answers!
For goals, go watch my other video called ‘7 habits of highly effective people’. That will streamline your goals 100%. This book is about quality of life, being at peace, acceptance (real acceptance), getting in touch with your true nature, slowing down that goal oriented monkey mind :). Both aspects have their place but there must be a balance. Most of us are way too focused on success and goals and miss the true gift of life - the moment you’re in. Sounds corny but the present moment is much much much deeper than we assume at first glance. Anyways… This is one of the most important/impactful books I’ve ever read, so please don’t skip this one
I was following and loving all of this until the part about the inner body, which sounds like a spirit body (with the same shape as our physical body) and seems like a strange departure from the rest of the material here. Is there really any good reason to think such a thing exists? Does being mindful of it really have any utility?
It seemed like a departure to me as well and I don’t think I introduce it/transitioned it well. Eckhart goes into detail on this topic and I find it quite important because when you focus on your body, it can ground you in the present very quickly. I would read the book for the full breakdown. This is just something I wanted to mention as it’s in the book quite a bit. There are two ways to go about the body. 1 - Become the observer of it. Become aware of it fully. Don’t identify with it, just watch and observe and be more in tune with awareness rather than your body (and body sensations). 2 - become highly focused on the body: the sensations and feelings. Feel the body. Feel that inner buzzing (for lack of a better word) when you place your attention on your body. If you have a pain sensation, feel it fully and don’t pull away or resist that feeling. When you dive into the pain instead of resisting it, it starts to feel more like an intense vibration more than anything. Placing your attention in your body is a very satisfying and comforting feeling. Gets you out of your head space and into the present. Anyways, I think both of these approaches are helpful and necessary to become more present and also help get over any emotional blockages. Check out the book or watch some of his videos on TH-cam. Good stuff!!
@@wisdom-for-life Thanks for the in depth response! I can see the value of being mindful of the body but what’s the value of distinguishing between the physical body and an “inner body”?
@@GumbyTheGreen1 Sorry, not sure I understand the question. To me, the physical body is just a bunch of different sensations so it is basically the same as the inner body. Like when you close your eyes.. what is your physical body? It's really just sensations. That's what I mean by inner body.. Going really deep into the sensations of the body. Emotions are a bit different but they can kind of dwell in the body as amplified thoughts, trauma, etc. That sounds bit woo woo, I know. lol. This is too complex of a topic to address in a comment. I did a deeper breakdown on my blog if you want to read more.. maybe it will make sense. or, go get a copy of the book.. it's really a life changing book. wisdom-for-life.com/the-power-of-now-eckhart-tolle/ If you're interested in the body sensation thing, check out vipassana meditation.. this teaches you how to see your body as not a physical thing, but a collection of sensations and perceptions. I also suggest you check out Alan Watts and Rupert Spira to get a more well rounded understanding of all this.
I am becoming a heavy user of this channel. May I get an email every time a new video is uploaded sothat I can get an article or transcript along with this video. Kindly let me know if I can register through your website. I wish to learn if you put a course together. Thanks 🎉
No wonder when Moses asked God what his name was, he said:" .. I AM..." The Power of Now, great summary!
I’ve been reading the book “The Power of Now” but I’m more of a visual learner. You have helped me piece everything together. Thank you
Hi Shaya, happy to hear that, thanks!
a fun way to look at it
stage 1 - you ARE the movie and don't realize you are in it.
stage 2 - you begin to sit in the audience and watch the movie = the observer
stage 3 - you realize you can watch yourself watching the movie
stage 4 - you are in the projection booth running the film
stage 5 - who makes the film?
stop now. can you see yourself seeing yourself? how many layers are there?

cool
Cool
And the only “superpower” we will ever need is our presence in the NOW. Great Book 🖖
Thanks for stopping by, Old Dudes Wisdom! Makes me want to read it again!
You have produced two absolutely wonderful videos re Tolle's Power of Now. I am using them as teaching tools in my mindfulness meditation classes. Thank you ever so much. Thank you too in the second video for including feminine images. Stellar job!!
Hi David! Thank you very much, I appreciate your support. Oh yea, I’m trying to include a variety of characters but I do sometimes forget to mix it up a bit. Thanks again!
Thankfully your channel is passing it on. Iv'e followed Eckhart for twenty yars, truly a life saver.
Silent mind
Thanks for commenting! Same here.... I've been following Tolle (not quite as long as you) and he is a life saver!
@@wisdom-for-life awesome, stay safe and shine.
Extremely underrated video. More needs to watch this. Well done!
Love these videos. Ironically, as I was listening to this, my ego was saying "I wish I had a fraction of this guy's wisdom at that age." And "I have wasted so much time in my life worrying"
Wonderful set of 2 videos on the book. Thank you
When you yield to the flow of life and do not oppose it, you become free
If you cut off from your emotions, they'll eventually surface as physical symptoms
acceptance of the emotion + presence= peace
The emotion should be felt and then you move past it, you don't need to dwell on it or bottle it up
when you keep your attention on your body, you'll be anchored in the now
There is infinitely more intelligence in being than in your mind. Change your state from being out of the body and trapped in the mind to being in the body and present in the now
You'll never be free until you stop depriving your sense of self from your mind and ego
By becoming aware of the empty space around you, you simultaneously become aware of the space of no mind, of pure consciousness.
What you are doing is so beautiful. Thank you. God bless you. ❤
Such an excellent, succinct and helpful summary of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. Well done!
Thank you Diane! I appreciate the support. :)
The most impactful video on youtube
What an amazing video - you are making a very valuable contribution to the world. Loved part 1 as well - it has helped me immensely in getting into the now.
A great way to review Tolle's brilliant teachings, thanks!
Loved it, thanks for part 2! Would be awesome to see a summary for A New Earth someday.
Thank you Efrain! I'll do A New Earth sometime in the future. Thanks for the suggestion as it is a great book as well!
Ive just started reading the book today, i think this video is a sign
Awesome! Make sure you check out part 1! Thanks and let me know if you have any questions about the book.
I love your videos and your comforting voice. I also love this book by Eckhart
Wonderful having you back!
I would love some chapter breakdowns and summaries!! These are amazing!! Thank you so much!!

Sensing the inner body is a lot like what I feel doing Tai Chi. I thought that might help others try to sense it.
Tai Chi is great!
Thank you ❤❤

It's still an option if all else fails.. IMO
