8:39 - it's funny how a certain wording can click with different people. When he said '..and then realize you don't want it' - that just makes so much logical sense to me. I often think to myself, especially first thing in the morning when I suffer most with anxious thoughts etc., that I don't WANT to feel that way. I used to think that I had to feel bad about things that were wrong in my life because it's my responsibility to suffer for them - but now I realize that's a vicious, nasty cycle, it's SO much more productive to realize those feelings are only ever detrimental to you beyond the first time you feel them. I do think bad feelings have their place in life as teachers - but once you learn the lesson there's no need to feel the pain over and over, it's just not logical and certainly not helpful in becoming a more balanced person that makes better decisions. Sometimes it takes time to mend things and if we hamper ourselves with horrible thought patterns and entertain the pain body, our behavior can spiral out of control and you can very quickly become bitter and angry with yourself and therefore with those around you. I've been a hateful person and at one time I just didn't understand why - now I always take responsibility for my own anger, because i'm the only one that chooses to feel/indulge it - no matter who or what triggers it, it's up to me to deal with my own reactions and emotions. Empowering. Eckhart, you are one among a few that have helped me take control of my life again - Thanks buddy, I love ya brother!
Nafin C - For sure! I think we're all trying to solve the same puzzle, we're just at different stages and trying to go about it in different ways. Although some are very similar, perhaps like me and you! :) I rea this back to myself just now and realized I STILL sometimes entertain the anger, but even so - it's something you have to practice and the mind/body eventually gets better and better at it.
It was a real eye opener one day when I realize that in my unhappiness I was trying to manipulate God into being guilty about my plight. This made me laugh and broke the unhappiness spell. Thanks Echart for your insights.
Thank you so much Ekhart:) My life changed for good when I came in contact with your teachings in 2014. You have no idea what you have done for me. I will be indebted to you forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
After enlightenment there is no waiting. Before enlightenment there is no waiting either. Stop waiting now. You can always decide whether you wait or not. Even when you "have to" wait you can meditate. What also helps is comforting others by your presence. You can chat with them. Helping those weaker than you who are suffering more from waiting is a sure sign you are on the right path. For example when I use public transportation and I sit meditating I will often give up my seat to elderly people or children. Sitting is unhealthy anyway.
the last thing he said is really true, for me and i guess for other people depression is just a test if it leads to anything, they would never admit it though. then you find out it doesn't work and it's over
ah c est dommages que il y'a pas une traductions en français, pour nous les francophones , on t'aime Eckhart tolle , j ai le livre en français ,pourquoi pas les vidéo de conférence il sont pas traduit, merci
Eckart Tolle, you say unhappiness or pain doesn't have a purpose(or meaning for feeling it), but as I recall you were in a deep depression and had high anxiety before you awakened, thus the pain and unhappiness had a purpose. Look at you now.
You could say that in that sense it has a purpose, but it does not have a purpose in and of itself. What can happen is more like a potential result of its existence. In the former sense, most anything the body does within its 'chemistry' is a potential purpose to cause action which could include, but not limited to, awakening or pursuit of awakening.
we do have a choice to be irritated or not...this is where i have problem with ppl...seems they should be responsible & help humanity or we're all doomed...
childlike look at childish behavoir. tulsa time is the poor mans island time..schools/ prisons/ hospitals are only visited by those people who know someone there..
This guy changed my life
Aaron Tawil me too,
Eckhart I do believe you are changing the entire world for the better. Thank you so much.
perhaps life is an exquisite form of waiting
Love the story of the checkout girl irritation. Brilliant, just brilliant.

Jaikay1 you basically just described my life. its good to know others have the same problems and resolutions as i do. :)

thats what i thought as well.. hmm wonder why he'd say that or maybe we're just interpeting it wrong
You could say that in that sense it has a purpose, but it does not have a purpose in and of itself. What can happen is more like a potential result of its existence. In the former sense, most anything the body does within its 'chemistry' is a potential purpose to cause action which could include, but not limited to, awakening or pursuit of awakening.
Apparently you had been waiting to meet her all your life too!
what is this presence? how do you know if you are present?
Great
Enjoy being where you are, start in the supermarket
