🙏 Truth. I have been postponing throughout all of my adult life. I have been prepping and planing, making sure i will have better circumstances in the future, but the future never arrives.. it forever stays inside of my head, and it can always be planned further and further in detail.. It never ends, 2 years ago i just needed this amd that to get started, 1 year ago i just need another this and an improved that❤ Thank you for the video
Your message is hitting deeply , I’m just gonna start talking to people and let the present flow instead heeding all these projections , it’s crazy how much stems from fear
Love this ! As with everything in life ,we need to find balance. Move with purpose, don't be so attached to the outcome, and enjoy the present. THIS is your chance to enjoy your life.
When someone who is 90 says these things, I'll be more inclined to believe it. No one thinks they will ever get old, but you will. You will get to where you can't work any more, or even be able to take care of your daily needs. If you've done nothing to prepare for this time, life will be VERY unpleasant. If you've done nothing to build a financial nest egg, you will own no home, have nothing to pay for a roof over your head and food to put in your mouth. You will be totally dependent, and praying that someone/anyone will take care of you and pay for all of it as well. Good luck w/ that. I'd far rather spend a little time and energy preparing for the future and still have PLENTY of time to enjoy the process of living.
YOU MUST be prepared for your future to live, survive and thrive in high cost modern societies. This may be divinely guided through insights, intuitions, inspirations and imaginations if you are able to trust, but if you are not sufficiently awake, you will have no choice but to fall in with your 'own' logical planning. Eckhart Tolle distinguishes between clock time for practical planning (in the now) and psychological time spent in negativity and fear.
I had just gotten into college and someone I sort of knew called me and asked where I was going to graduate school. I said, "I don't know if I'm going to graduate school at all. Why? Are you thinking of graduate school?" He said he was going to go to Harvard medical school. I thought he was both pathetic and insane. I was planning on having a life, and that involved lots of unknowns, and lots of thinking on my feet. He had a script for his whole life that his mother might have written. He wasn't the only one. There were people in my high school who were already thinking of retirement. No wonder I was so alienated. These people may as well have been dead.
Many live as if life is endless, echoing Seneca's warning: ' It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it.' \ Break free from the cycle-embrace your present and realize that now is all you truly own
i needed this, been debating on taking a job out of fear of how it could affect & cause stress on other people rather than how it could positively impact me
possibly have heard this message before but your delivery is very direct and simple, helping me absorb the message a little deeper, thank you, yes the "normal" world is so filled with programmed messages of weakness, lack, fear, etc..., one must regain one's own thinking. This process may take energy but the idea is not complicated. Perhaps that is another one of the programmed thoughts that true progress cannot just be simple or easy. Ok I will stop now, lest I ramble too much, lol.
Glad it resonates. And yes, perhaps the idea that it can't be easy is indeed another program. After all, it is only whatever you say it is. The profundity of that notion is literally infinite. You are the Creator. 🙏
Yes, this is why we Repeat the past, sos, because remembered experience is more concrete than the completely Abstract future so that breeds the insecurity we continue to Harbour over and over again...
"You are capable of experiencing everything you desire at this moment" I want to be able to afford to pay my kids school fees and school camp costs next month. How does me *not* trying to make the necessary money, help in that regard? How do I "experience" having that right now? Dude...
But many times the Here and Now just sucks in reality, like when I’m at work or I’m in physical pain. I don’t want to get lost in escapism but it’s all relative to your situation.
The here and now contains none of these… what you’re referring to are you own perceptions, beliefs and sensations. They are born of the mind. The here and now is pure awareness, your nature- and it is anything but escapism.
It’s more likely that’s your programming, although I can understand what you’re saying. There is a balance- I’m not saying it’s wrong to do it, I’m simply illuminating our unconscious tendency to do it.
@@jamie.lauder Thanks. Wrong to do it, is not negotiable. It just occurs. I perceive and calculate into the future.. it’s not necessarily a gift. However it has served me well. Obviously. I enjoy these explorations into … human behavior. Thanks for sharing.
When you understand that ‘the future’ is just now- and theres nothing other than now- then predicting the future is actually the power of your own imagination to create. Anything is possible- but you make it probable by focusing your attention and consciousness on it. There is no linear time and therefore no future to predict- there is only our own consciousness that creates this moment now and projects the illusion of a future. You create your reality my friend, including the illusion of time.
Thank you for your important words. Tying into yesterday's video of letting go. If this happens, how do we "Let Go" of what keeps coming up that we don't want to think and feel which can lead to rumination and possibly fuel learned bitterness of our loved ones who continually disappoint? I struggle with acceptance or taking them or life as it is. How do we work this out to enjoy the present moment more? Much appreciated and Much Love to ALL. B
I’d first start by asking: ‘ what am I desiring more than unconditional acceptance? ‘ ‘ why am I unwilling to let go of my beliefs and judgements? ‘ Seek to understand your experience as it is- not to try to change it into something else- as if not letting go, or judging someone is wrong. It’s not wrong, it’s simply what’s happening- and if you desire something different, then understand why you are creating that experience. It’s really all that is needed. Beyond that, you could even attempt to share your judgments or thoughts with the people they are directed towards- but this could be unnecessarily disturbing, especially if the other person is not emotionally/mentally mature enough to discuss it openly. Therefore use your discernment. But transparency is almost always an accelerator for understanding and insights.
@@jamie.lauder The infinite worth that you are" is just self indulgent nonesense which inflates the ego, I think a large proportion of what you are saying here is precise and truthful just with the odd exception such as this.... it's not my intention to criticize, im just pointing out what is unnecessary.
The truth is out there to be old enough to make a difference beetween turn off your cellphone and meditate for the rest of your life be strong no matter what happens
powerful message, though I may add that the "you" that has been programmed is a conscious decision to fall into forgetfulness. Just feel the need to say that so there is no blame game. God is playing all the parts here. All the deceivers, scammers, the oppressed, the oppressor, the "good", you name it! How else would the universe contract, then expand into its greatness and remembrance of its/your true nature? you created the game in the 1st place. Pointing the finger at others will keep one trapped.
Indeed a good reminder. Although I never suggested to blame anyone, hence why I referred to each of us as the Creator of our own reality. Nonetheless, an important note to bring up, which I thank you for 🙏🏼
@@jamie.lauder yes of course, yes you didn't suggest to blame. I guess I left that comment here as a reminder to anyone who may feel hard done by the "system". Thanks for your thanks and thanks. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.
Hello, Jamie. Great content! I have had a question that has confused me for years. If all we need is inside us, then is redirecting our thoughts to be heard by the universe wrong? Can you elaborate on this, please? Thanks!
Hi, well thank you. I can say immediately that, in truth, there is no right and wrong. But more relatively, what do you mean by ‘redirecting our thoughts to be heard by the universe?’
@@jamie.lauder people say that we need to send to the universe our desires and wishes...but others say that there is nothing out there and all we need to do is to redirect everything inside of us-in this logic I mean it
From my experience, there is nothing ‘outside’ of me that listens or responds to my desires. It is all me. And therefore my responsibility to know myself (including my desires), accept myself and allow the infinite intelligence that I Am to bring to me all that I desire. I must be open to receiving and not resisting (through beliefs, thoughts, assumptions, expectations, etc). That is how it works in my direct experience- very simple, streamlined and effortless. 🙏🏼
@@jamie.lauder thank you very much for quick answers! it makes more sense to me also to be like that!it feels more true this way!I subscribed and will share, continue the good work!
Seemingly necessary planning for the future is happening right now to catch a flight 6.50pm this Sunday. The future never comes, but nevertheless, I'm planning for it regardless🤣
@@jamie.lauder Why are we here and where did we come from? Even the shill Bill Nye the science guy admitted we live in an enclosed system and there's nowhere to go. Read Geneses from a Bible printed in the 1800's. Instead of looking up, we should be looking straight ahead. Extraterrestrial means extra terrestrial. Terrestrial means - of or relating to the earth or its inhabitants. The rabbit hole gets deep.
That’s not the complete information. Tolle explains it the complete way: being in the now and awake doesn’t mean not using the mind anymore, it means using the mind for what it’s meant like planning and doing that and then coming back to the now. I have lived in the now for many many „times“. It’s great but nothing really happens. It only works if all the others around also stay in the now but this is not reality. We need both. Safety was needed in the past and we cannot skip it always. It’s choosing freedom of the now using the connection to others and this is true safety and then surrendering happens. Everyone who has studied how trauma impacts us knows that we need connection.
Ok what next These type of videos becomes a TH-cam pattern!!!! *You have been programmed! *Massage meant for ya!* *Why i Quit 9-5 job!* *You have been programmed to work* *reality shifting* Soooo what non of these works and it will Never work The reality always shows the opposite so we can always return to TH-cam and watch you videos guys it's all a business
So your experience of it not working is somehow now the absolute truth…? Get over yourself if you actually want to get beyond your own limiting beliefs… otherwise why comment? Just because you’re unfulfilled, why try to bring others down? Misery loves company.
No yeah don't prepare for the future: forget about the med school, pre-med, exams, specialty (residency)... Everything is gonna work out ❤ ... ... expect that it is not, you're gonna ruin your life if you don't have plans and stick to them. Just sayin' 🤷
Except that it’s not ‘you’ saying this… it’s society, and it’s conditioning which has hijacked your freedom and inspiration to live on your terms. But hey, it’s your choice.
@@jamie.lauder You're 💯 💪 right... ...but I live in a _society_ ... I interact with a supermarket, clothes, food, people, ⚡ bill, 🌊 bill, 🛜 bill.... I drive 🚗 so I need maintenance+ ⛽.........
I understand why you would think that… but it means you have not come to know life. You have not made contact with your true nature. Otherwise, you would not still see value in planning. All in its own good timing my friend… until then plan away.
@@successsystem2468yes, I agree. Tolle speaks that being in the now doesn’t mean not using your mind for planning for example and then coming back to the now.
Postponing is the mistake, not planning. If I didn't prepare for the future, I would be blind sided ALL THE TIME hahah. Bottom line- when you wake up- do the work and be prepared to switch gears if life throws a wrench at your head
