The Mind's Limitation in Understanding Awareness | Eckhart Tolle

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- Eckhart Tolle shares insights from his own life, including a spontaneous shift in consciousness and subsequent years of living in a state of peace, which he didn't fully understand at the time. He advises on how to approach these shifts in awareness, suggesting that it is more about allowing the mind to align with this new state rather than trying to rationalize it further. Eckhart Tolle concludes with the notion that awareness, once realized, changes the perception of the self and the world, transcending personal narratives and memories and aligning with a timeless, formless essence that is the true nature of self.

About Eckhart:
Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into more than 50 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review (now Watkins Mind Body Spirit) named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution.
One of the teachers I can really listen to. Seldom "boring" or dogmatic, never self aggrandizing.
When you are perfectly free to feel stuck or not stuck, then you’re unstuck.
Exactly!!! It’s all voluntary after a while, and one can say alright world here I come, or choose to simply allow things and be like a tree
Exactly 😊
You are human been not the. treea@@rkbvideos575
Thanks. That helps.
Brilliant summary!! ❤
Unwanted and unwelcome thoughts are in reality simply neural pathways memorised in our brain fusing together to create repetitive unhappy and unhelpful thoughts and feelings. Just seeing them for what they truly are instantly defuses them and brings immediate relief 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am praying 🙏
How this could be explained, I do not know. But I know when I am in touch with it. The reason why Eckart is amazing is that he was able to guide me (and many of us) to it directly through words.
I utterly agree with you. Eckart really is amazing and he's a blessing to all. He's been my mentor for years and i truly trust him and his teaching..❤ i can't be thankful enough for him helping me on my journey of awareness..much love💜
What I appreciate the most with Ekart is not just how the word HEART is part of his name 😊 but especially how he is able to put his human ego to the side in how he exists in this world. This is the hardest thing to do ❤
Hey, the overcoming of ego is an essential part of his teachings. At some point it doesnt need to be put aside, because it just has no power anymore. Thats when we are able to see the world clearly and when we are able to forgive.
I recall a time when I was sitting on a cliff looking out to sea. After awhile, I became aware that all there was - all that was observable, was the fact awareness had sight - there was NO awareness of anything else other than sight, no sound, no physical body, no heat or cool, literally like all that was experienced was sight and seeing the sea and its movement. No emotions, no sensations, no smells......no sense of body weight or of a body or time.... just aware of the sea

If I am witnessing my thought, what am I?
No boundaries to I AM.
The awareness of I AM is intimate, but not personal.
Mind can’t understand awareness. In awareness is awareness known.
Awareness isn’t an object.
Once awareness is risen, mind isn’t useful anymore.
Thanks Eckhart. 19 May 2024. 🫶🏻☘️🌾🐠💥🦜😎🙏🏻💝🍇💐🤲
What A beautiful, complete explanantion. Thankyou.
I would not go back to shutter, back button is a huge game changer. I love this channel. Thank you.
Love you Eckhart ❤❤❤
I wish to add that anyone sharing a bathroom with 8 other people as Eckhart described, can set up a camping toilet and also have running water by using small, USB water pumps. I put one into a gallon of spring water and … I am in the now. Eckhart, so sorry that you had to wait so long to use the bathroom but I suppose it helped with letting go of your body’s demands and being more present.
Your explanations make sense to me at this point in my earthly journey.
I Love You Eckhart. ♥️🙏☮️
Me, too. Thank you, Eckhart ❤️🤗🙏
Really it IS ✨unthinkable...
Who knows what is EVERYTHING. I often ask myself and I don't know the answer.
Then when I observe a green leaf of a plant that stands straight and proudly seeks the sun or I am moved by an unexpected act of kindness, I see the rays of majestic and secret Consciusness. ✨ Everything is conscious, everything speaks to us. Maybe difficult to believe and understand and yet I feel that it IS so.❤
So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨🌺
Keren luar biasa...
Kesadaran sebagai manusia...

@@imamxleptv1366 Thanks alot 🙏❤️
Eckhart is so precious ❤
its like what Ecky does, brings his conscious awareness to others for the all, not himself 🙏❤
He's Enlightened so why wouldn't he want to share his Buddha field? That's his seva to us.
Spacious, open awareness is where you will discover deeper layers of love, clarity, and truth. You will finally meet the true you, right here in the open, spacious awareness
Thanks you master Eckhart Tolle. Although I am not sure we have the same understanding of our world and faiths, I do respect and see your consciousness deity. I know the universe and all of us are part of that "thing" in the bubble but I have been fixated on honor and chivalry or arch angel stuff. I appreciate and love you Eckhart. Keep trying to save humanity from chaos. I love you and only have good words to say about you. Thank you Eckhart Tolle

Feel peaceful because the mind isn’t saying much.
Mind isn’t saying I am not saying much.

❤Great Answer from E to an excellent question. Thank you for sharing
Hes marvellous.
Yes it was,wasn't it 😊
In the date of NOW there's a dimension that is just hard to describe by words
Thank you, dearest Eckhart. Peace and love. 🙏💌
Too funny! When the video first started i just heard the voice & saw Tolle's face, thinking Wow! His voice has changed. 😂
i understand awareness consciously, but to be in awareness is to be absent of thought.
Prayers and dwelling in the word of God every day work so effectively. Thank you Lord for this channel, my family and I have found daily motivation in the spoken and prophetic words of this channel, and I am grateful for the chance to achieve financial independence, adding $70k a month to my portfolio is not a little change. This testimony was possible because I believed, worked, and had faith till the end. Sharing this incredible testimony to help brethren in this trying time when the world is experiencing inflation.
Our God is able and more than enough for us and His mercies endure forever. Hallelujah! ❤️
Wow, this is a massive return! How did you do it please. Can you explain, I’m in dire need of solutions to my problems my rent is almost due and we’ve been living off loans and nothing moves exactly the way we planned. I’ll be glad if you respond thanks.
All thanks to *Ms. Maria Abrams* and also to God for his kindness in my life
YES!!!, that's exactly her name(Maria Louisia Abrams) So many people have recommended her, and am just starting with her from South Coast California.
I have been following the comments, this whole thing sounds good and I would like to partake in this. Please is there any way I can speak with her?
You are not alone. Much love on your journey ❣️
Thank you😊
Thanks for sharing Eckhart! 💜
Hi Nicole, it's great to see you darling! Sending you lots of love and well wishes on your birthday!💜🎉🥳
@@stephenflood3463 Thanks sweetie you too! 💜
Be comfortable not knowing.
It's the only way to genuine peace and happiness 🙏🙏🙏🙏
each person follow God's leadership
Your every thought is a trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is Peace Itself.
In Pure Awareness there is no diversity whatsoever...
Thank you for sharing this information 😊❤👍🏼

It's a great question, thank you.
Thanks 🌈
There is no beginning and no end to consciousness , don't use the brain to understand this, nor does presents begin or end. If your not present is it there, no it is not. At some point in mans life he has to realize the brain is not the tool to figure these things out. That one has to go above or below thinking to figure in a state of consciousness , we are approaching consciousness faster as a whole planet then realized. I mean it is here and has been. Bring calmness and freedom from pain from within you , to others. Consciousness is the path to follow when all other ways fail and the world says no, the consciousness within you says yes there is hope it will happen. T.Kelly
Thanks!
Thankyou😊🙏💚
Or as Allen Watts says; “A knife cannot cut itself”. To this regard we can never know ourselves by way of mind (workings of the mind).
Interesting I just realized the same way just very different setting. I was on vacation and I wasn’t bad but I am very good now
see ya
❤❤
😊 thank you for sharing

Jesus Christ is alive and still breathing in the cosmos and we too live in the cosmos....live with God
Christ consciousness is alive, Jesus the avatar, the form, is dead. I am Christ. You are Christ. We are ONE. There's no separation.
We are all pieces of God. Jesus also God. I'm not Jesus, but by having a piece of God in me, I'm a child of God. I'm not the new creation like Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is light for any of us. Jesus Christ is the only one of our earthly God's still breathing waiting to fish up his people. If he is dead then show me his body......
@@user-wc7wp8iq6b indeed, we are all the micro (you, me, Buddha, Jesus) within the macro ...truth, beingness, source, god whatever name you prefer for this Oneness
We can't get to the Oneness unless we go with Christ....Who else can say they can bring us to the Oneness?? Not NASA, Not Srarlink, Not the Space Force...but Jesus Christ and Legions of his angels they can bring us that's an amen. Jesus Christ the one with holes in his hands and holes in his feet...where is his body that you say is dead ❤ Christ he's the light the way and the truth....One Love❤

If you feel like writing a book, spend 2 weeks with your parents first.
Haha why is that?

I wonder where deep sleep fits into all this. At that point, there is no awareness, no story, no consciousness at all. In that sense we die every time we sleep. I sometimes wonder if the self is an illusion, and that awareness in its purest form is divorced entirely from the small waking component involved..
🙏🙏🙏

Positive use of disgust towards all kinds of verbal and physical violence and abuse, including smoking and negative thoughts about yourself, will free your from pain and guilt. You don't have to be a part of what you don't like or don't feel good about. This is the most important and powerful step in your self-protection. It always starts with your own choice.
I am correct in thinking you are advocating feelings of disgust towards smoking and negative thoughts? If so disgust is an extremely judgemental and vengeful feeling there is absolutely nothing positive about judgmental and vengeful feelings , and if not and I have misunderstood your comment please accept my apologies for my misunderstanding 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@johngreen4683 True feelings need no advocacy. Try.
@@aammssaamm ah I see, your judgement of others provoking feelings of disgust towards others. Those feelings are like punching yourself in the arm and hoping others will feel the pain, unnecessary self inflicted suffering and misery 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@johngreen4683 Too wordy for true feelings.
@@aammssaamm how many words am I allowed? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think i had an awakening once but it was very short lived and went away after i received a disturbing comment from someone but that was years ago and haven't felt anything near that feeling since how do I get that feeling back
Don't hold on to that moment.
Are you meditating, doing breathwork?
Check out astral doorway .
If You've got the Will , you take action. let your soul know you wanna know . But whatever happens except the moment.
It is your Path

All so god farther John and Emily
how would awareness be when being victim of g3noc1d3?

It is intimate and per-SON-al because even though we widen in immense perception and can be 'OF' a 3 in 1 (us-an angel, and God's positive/negative male/female--the flowing light of the Godhead--intimate regeneration moment (same as humans in the mix generating ONLY this happens at the soul level- in the Image of) we retain our sense of a distinct son/daughter relationship - no need to get to the bottom of this rationally because when you are In Love with God and evolving (love backward evol-e) and circling in and with a left-handed chirality and forming and conforming to His Image. . .God will give you wisdom to understand all --- with LOVE comes WISDOM!!!!!! I suggest Bernard of Clairvaux's Song of Songs, Mechthild von Magdeberg;s The Flowing Light of the Godhead, and The Comte de Gabalis - there is only one created understanding which is the Image of the Uncreated and this suffices for all men. And Eckhart's main guru was Joel Goldsmith formerlly St. paul in another time--we do have many lives.
This is at least 8 years old.
Why is he doing that with his eyes ?
You get married ❤
Let me break this down as I see it logically.
It's beyond me that someone would take a teacher seriously who presents himself like a frog trying to swallow a fly.
What! the mind cant understand awareness. The mind is the element of a person that ENABLES them to be aware of the world and their experiences.
Here we go again, a teacher parroting another teacher/guru ie if you cant find an answer, parrot another teachers/guru saying. I say Saying because that all it is. Saying is just a group of words that cant stand alone, so words are just added to justify what a teacher wants to make up and fit. ( chuckle chuckle)
There are no sensors to sense " I". You KNOW you are " I" because your mind is the only thing you ever experience and you KNOW that and AWARE of that, therefore the mind understands awareness without limitations.
This video looks ai generated
This comment looks AI generated!
It does lol
Yes, good catch. There's usually an audience. Or just highly staged by Eckhart because the video is made by him.
It's the way the lips move and the blinking for me
This video was recorded before ai tools were invented
The intro sound kicks me out from the state of presence.
Audio and video don't correlate
Stop the spam here!
Is this vid AI?
No, there is just lag
@@rarf2142 Ah gotcha. Thanks 🙂
The person who asked the question and eckhart are real, but for some reason they added some AI generated persons into the audience
Badaldunga😮you😅ko😅my😅ye😮chalenge😅h
Dude looks like he’s half asleep
Hmm, sounds like plagiarism based upon fundamental understanding of Buddhist teachings. Especially the sense of (I) self awareness, the sense of self. Or another way, chill out dude.
The synchronicity around seeing this video was fantastic for me. I too am trying (or was trying 😉) to understand awareness , you helped me so much.
😆 WooHoo 🎉
I thought waking up would be this 🧘 and it is not, this is hard work🤣🖖.
Why this video used generated ai? So weird, feel unnatural
Please dont use AI in eckhart his videos. It's really unnatural, and it distracts from the message. Just stop
Why don’t speak up about Palestine? It’s not the time to stay silent now.
Words unfortunately will not end the terrible suffering of people, it's the political choices of leaders alone that will end the awful suffering. Our words, Eckharts, yours or mine unfortunately will have no impact on anything but our own personal thoughts and feelings 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Words do matter. Show solidarity is important for the peace movement for everyone. It will have impact if you say that Palestinians deserve freedom like anyone else.
❤️❤️❤️
