  • When you reach a certain level of awareness, Eckhart explains that you can actually choose to be present. Although you may forget that you have a choice, you can actually choose not to react or be unconscious when the time comes.

    Not believing in reactive patterns of the ego and the past is absolutely a choice . It is hard to believe this when we are in reactivity , and victim, but in my experience as long as we believe it is not a choice, we will continue to re-live and re-create patterns of the ego and suffering . The key is to take your power back and believe that it is a choice, and you will start to shift your energy and manifest more harmonious reflections that are in alignment with those beliefs . Great video Eckhart ! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day ! Much Love 🙏

    The presence wants you to feel you have a choice, the presence then chooses to go through you.
    It's helpful when you look from the outside, and feel you have a choice.🌹
    You cannot improve this moment by adding unnecessary thought to it.🌿
    Bring presence into every moment. You are the presence. There is no duality, you versus presence. 🌷
    You can think without losing presence, then thinking is not bad at all. 🦋
    It's only when you lose yourself in self-serving thinking that you create one problem after another.
    Thanks Eckhart. 13 September 2022. 🦋🦋🦋

      Repeating a request: Please stop talking, I cannot hear/listen. But without anger, or expectation, then watching for or even expecting a smile, a connection however brief of eye contact, a have a good day at the end. It makes a difference. I am weird, okay but let's not focus on my weirdness.

    Thank you, Eckhart. Just as one unconscious person in a room can drag all the others into unconsciousness, just one conscious person in the room can lift up all the others to a higher state of consciousness. Wouldn't it be nice to have political leaders, prime ministers, presidents, movie actors. sports persons, media professionals, celebrities who are very conscious and present, so that an entire nation, the whole of humanity can rise up to that. Peace will be the only thing found then.

    Realizing that I am not my thoughts - that I don't need to listen to them, that I can simply observe them - is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. My mind used to keep me miserable, worried, angry - every single day. After practicing Eckhart's teachings I now only feel that way sometimes, and even then I have a way out. I now realize that I create my own suffering, and that I can stop doing this any time I choose. I can accept this very moment as it is and stop producing needless suffering. The past has loads of regret, resentment. The future holds so much fear, worry. But Now everything is OK. And Now IS everything.

    I live in places where I can afford seeking to be present (or to let the present take hold). It sure is nice, living in the instant, feeding my soul of raw, untainted perceptions. Letting go of unnecessary thoughts, feeling clean of past and future worries.
    I know that when I have the chance to carry this feeling in the usual places of human chaos, peace stays around, and usually spread (this is a subjective, yet very strong feeling). I like the description of waves of good intentions propagating around. I think it comes from people naturally recognizing the peace in others, remembering, and acting it out in response.
    I will probably not become fully and only "myself" all the time. That would require clearing all of my brain-dust, first : turning all of my loaded emotions, hidden behind incomplete memories and insufficient perspectives, into interesting knowledge. Then maturing that knowledge into elevating wisdom. All the while letting my ego and its selfishness sink in my inner sea of serenity. Complex and rewarding, the training of a lifetime of many falls, and many rises.
    Unfortunately I am not a monk, I live in that weird irrational and competitive world. In that place of chaos, the present does not seem to care to many. I think we are more and more doing our best to inspire, softly. I see, or maybe I learned to perceive, more people giving hints around that there is more to the world than the eyes can see, and the money can buy.
    That feeling of full presence, oneself to the world, is a weapon of mass connection. I dare to dream the concept being taught in school, with practical exercises of meditation for a start. Imagine a whole generation of children having such a head-start on their path to self-discovery... Now that would be grand, a gift for all humanity. Until then, I'll continue to inspire by being _here and now_ as much as I can, and avoid being the negative I can get. Worrying is so easy and natural, we forget it is also optional, an unconscious manifestation of past traumas, and future anguish. Still, really hard to shake, that's a bummer. Worrying is written in our humanity, so it is a natural struggle to let go. A worthy life objective, too, I find. ✌

      "9:11 - "ou cannot improve this moment by adding unnecessary thought to it."
      Accepting the gift of presence and being the change we wish to see in the world is perhaps the best we can do, a worthy life objective for sure.
      Namaste fellow traveller.🙏

    I am grateful that my life is changing course in a positive new direction. And I will use my intuition to take the next steps on this beautiful new path in my life to fully receive all the goodness I have earned with my karma and hard work.

    Even the apparent choice to be present means that something was present before the arrival of the choice thought that arises. Even if we believe that we can make a conscious choice not to be present, Conciousness must be present first to announce "I am not present', which is obviously not our experience. You are That already, you can't become what you already are.

      Hi Patricia, being aware of lacking consciousness is a rare combo 😉
      I never met God, I heard she is pretty cool : she speaks at the back of your mind, that's who you hear if you listen carefully. A voice that drives you toward meeting your true self, the one that matters : the creator of peace, and provider of inspiration for a better tomorrow. ✌
