I am from Afghanistan. I suffered alot due to traumas, anxiety and depression because of war . Eckhart tolle saved my life. I have read all the books of Eckhart tolle. He is the great spiritual teacher. He makes much more sense to me.
Wahid I served in the US military and I want to say I am sorry for what you have been through. I hope you know that not everyone looks down on the afganis or any one else a part of the middle east. It's sad that the US military has caused so much havoc in that area of the world and it was due to many of our unconscious states of mind and the manipulation from certain leaders and media. One day I hope we all can remember we come from one source and are a part of that source weather we know it or not. Much love to you brother.
@@dallasfurnish3031 I protested the Vietnam war and every war since. I read your reply to "Wahid". Tears came to my eyes and immediately this poem came to mind and I thought about the greatness of your words : th-cam.com/video/sqOgyNfHl1U/w-d-xo.html
Back in 1974 I read Krishnamurti and Alan Watts , I saw something important there but struggled to understand - pity Eckert Tolle wasn't around then as he'd have saved me much confusion.I'm 77 and understand now that I was completely out of synch with people around me then.People today are lucky to have these talks with Eckert.Good wishes to all now and into the 'future' in the now.😊 Paul
One of my favorite old sayings is, "The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the "present". Namaste friend.💖🙏
For me, No one has ever made more sense of spiritual teachings than this man. His words ring true from deep within. They echo so many other spiritual teachings but in a way that I am not pretending to understand. The understanding is felt from within. I cannot describe the comfort this approach brings to me and my anxious fearful self. Far better than any drug or therapy I have encountered for the past 20+ years.
if you keep listening to him as i have over the years he speaks total nonsense..i don't expect you to understand that..right now....at least but you will..his insight if you want to call it that is not practical when it comes to many circumstances in life....
All a spiritual teacher can ever do is point you towards that which you've forgotten. For me, Eckhart's vocabulary and way of articulation was the perfect pointer. As you said, I was no longer pretending to find the thing it was pointing it, but actually found it! His vocabulary may not work for everyone, but it is for many.
During school, I use to accidentally meditate in classes. There were a few instances where I became aware of my own consciousness and felt my presence and everything around me was one. Hearing Eckhart talk about this is blowing my mind.
@Irridessa Amore after having that experience you will probably embark on a serious spiritual path to try and embody it all the time. Having a deeply present Man can help ignite those spiritual fires. Let me know if you want a conscious relationship, I can help you find it.
I would feel that after Karate, my teacher used Tai Chi in every class. I would lay down and feel my awareness was larger than my body, or my conscious was feet above my body. Years later I began meditating to project and now I better understand that feeling. Beautiful and so peaceful. And projection is amazing if you haven't yet!
Eckhart is without a doubt one of the most powerful spiritual people arrived on earth till now. Believe me guys drink him as much as you can before the form dissolve...
Thank you Eckhart! Since I was born, more than fifty years ago, I had never met someone who teaches spirituality in such a simple, clear and yet objective way. Thank you for "The power of now", it feels as if heaven has merged with earth. We appreciate.
What a skillful teacher! I've been listening to Eckhart for 20 years. All of his talks are pure gold and most leave me breathless. But this one may well be his best. Not a single redundant word in over 30 minutes. Phenomenal
Beyond all that, there’s the fierce, capitalist machine behind Tolle’s work to contend with. Nearly everything this guy touches these days is being turned into a product intended for “your awakening,” and I don’t get the sense that he has any problem with that. In fact, I think the packaging of Tolle as a non-threatening spiritual guru has not only lead to wildly higher sales and spreading of his message, but also wholesale rejection of his work by those like myself actively resisting capitalism, colonialism, and the commodification of spiritual practice.
@@MrClarkkent2001 it sounds like you are still very much entrenched into an ideology, identity, and ego. Tolle speaks about your point in his book A New Earth.
THE GUY IS A TOTAL JOKE....CRAZY IS A BETTER WORD FOR IT AND YOU ARE HANGING ON EVERY WORD..IT DOES NOT MATCH UP WITH REALITY HIS TEACHING IN A NUTSHELL SHOULD BE CALLED TOTAL DENIAL OF THE TRUTH
@@chasemorgan6400 i go after a wolf in sheep's clothing my friend. He picks and chooses from the bible what fits his agenda...i have great peace but when it's a spiritual warfare you gotta fight..he has already deceived you.....
Golden Wizard knowledge doesn't belong to someone. he just explains how to be in our natural state. spreading the message that has been there for hundreds or thousands of years.
@Golden Knight Eckhart doesn't say that the knowledge is invented by him, rather he says he is just presenting them. Moreover, if you get to longer versions of his talks, he even quotes from religious scriptures and also discusses interactions with other teachers. Thanks and Regards.

The grasp this man has achieved of the skill in putting these teachings into words has allowed me to transform my life entirely, and I'm forever grateful to him for this. Thank you Eckhart, you've allowed me to discover peace
After 40 years of meditation, I want to add something. I've learned there are many ways to meditate. I really love his concepts and talks. I have learned to focus my thoughts on certain words which are really inner feelings. This awareness of the self, the presence, manifests in feelings within. Some have named it the fruit of the spirit. First, some words that represent feelings of calmness... peace, love, trust, humbleness. Yogananda said the first sign of success in meditation is feeling peaceful. The second type of feeling is more like excitement... one could focus upon feeling joy, enthusiasm, strength, and unlimitedness. One example of a meditation using words... breathe in (and really try to feel) peace, and breathe out stress and anxiety. Do this repeatedly. Really feel calmness, peace. Breathe in trust, breathe out fear. The power of positive thinking can be viewed as the power of positive feeling. Also, many meditation practices begin by relaxing the body, where we sometimes hold stress. Breathing exercises can calm the body. Progressive relaxation of all the muscles is another. Even exercise or a hot bath or sauna can relax the body. Anyway, hope this may help someone. Don't worry, feel happy. Peace.
the thing about most meditation is that it is less easily transferable to daily activities....as they focus on limited perceptions as their goal. IE you may focus just on your breathing. Eckhart is recommending a much broader arena of focus which is somewhat unique.
💖💖I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan. Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don’t reply unnecessary messages,send me a message directly on hangout as specified thank you. hangout mail: eckharttolleaccess@gmil.com
Same! I’m 22 and sooo happy that I discovered this man and his teachings... I work with older women and they say I’m more “mature” than most people they know their age. I think it’s because I am in control of my mind and emotions via eckharts teachings :)
What a great talk. I finished my evening before bedtime with this one. I have a lot of gratitude for the wisdom shared by Eckhart Tolle. Plus he is humorous and humor is a powerful way to lay out what you’re communicating. So great! Goodnight everyone.
me too... I shook his hand once when he went to Sydney to do a speech. Met him outside the venue when he was about to get into his car. He was so peaceful and kind.
Dear Eckhart, I am so grateful you have taught me so simply how to to meditate and make it light. Just being with the Present moment and letting thoughts just flow on or away like water or air . Thoughts no longer frighten or anger me ( for long). I am so grateful I can look forward to meditating. It is as easy as breathing. I can even do it on my own. It is early, but digestion and sleep are improving. I am finding release and relief. My gratitude to you . Blessings
"Consciousness is constantly being absorbed by a stream of thinking." WOW! How unbelievably accurate and simple is that statement. His words can really put your life into perspective.
When a person has been hunted.. their awareness becomes everything... your life depends on awareness.. to be unaware will cause you to fall pray. There is more to a human then meets the eye..
If you dare, for just one hour, one day, one week - don’t just believe but know, with every molecule in your existence, that you are an Infinite Creator. Feel just how right it feels as pure Joy and Grace radiates from you in that Space. Feel how much Divine Love the Universe has for you.
A very powerful message from Eckhart Tolle. His question "What does it feel like to be you (without recourse to memory) in the the present moment" is very significant pointer.
I came here because my obsessionally worrying mind is spoiling my life. My bed has become an instrument of torture, not a place of relaxation. Insomnia through over-thinking ruins my day-time hours. I knew I had to find a way of quieting the 'chattering monkeys' in my head. Eckhart has, with appreciated humour, made me feel 'normal'. Now I understand how and why thoughts get a grip on my attention. Now I feel aremed against un-invited thoughts.
Try my technique unplug your ego and your brain and take that plug and plug it into your soul in your heart that really quieted things up for me a lot and then allow all the thoughts that are left just to flow through every thought you resist will get stuck in place and become your experience good luck friend you can do it
Thank you God for these recordings, I have learned ways to control "Francesca"... my meaner side of my bipolar personality. Eckhart has helped me cope with my mental health issues n NOW have a beautiful career ahead of me. I'm forever grateful to you, Dear Friends and Family and Staff!!! Have a great week!!!
I love this analogy... As someone who had actually thought they were being productive, as a multi-tasker, I was never in the moment. I am thankful to recognize this and to know the difference!
I used to meditate for years TM, Buddhist, Holosync which can be restful. However I used to still get very irritated during meditation. Then I read about The Power of Now. Understanding how the ego is at the root of many problems is far more helpful. I no longer meditate as it does not really change the problems caused by the ego. Being aware of the ego is very important and eliminates self inflicted problems that we blame on others.

Nearly everything this guy touches these days is being turned into a product intended for “your awakening,” and I don’t get the sense that he has any problem with that.

Why does Eckhart sound so precise, witty, clever and wise? Because he is permanently connected to the inner vastness of pure consciousness. If anyone meets him, tell him we are eternally grateful for the teachings/ pointings.
Wonderful speech The Journey into the NOW 1) Aware of your surrounding through your sense perceptions 2) Acknowledge of life 3) Feel the aliveness pervading in your body 4) Leave space between your thoughts 5) Can you be aware of the fact that you are aware ? The essence of now is ultimately who you are. There is no self. Have a good live in spacious awareness. (from Turkey)

As many spiritual teachers nowaday will advocate to talk to ours subconcious mind positive stuff to overcome difficult life situations. Its application implying more stress and overwhelming. Whereas Eckhart relies all the stress. By listening to him frees from ours own self and all of a sudden feel relief from all burden. Wonderful ❤❤❤Incredible❤❤❤Most extraordinary Being❤❤❤
I can really appreciate how people like Eckhart Tolle and Alan Wallace, who speak about complex topics like consciousness and meditation, don't need to flaunt a certain 'image'. They don't seem to associate very much with the 'New Age', 'hippy', self-righteous fad that often comes with worldly and philosophical interest. No long hair, no eccentric clothing, no tattoos or piercings,.....just honest people. Even the way they speak is clean and good-natured, with very little influence from the degeneracy of pop-culture.
Thank you lovely Eckhart . When our thoughts can make our precious lives seem so difficult and complicated, presence introduces us to reality, which is unlimited aliveness , freedom and beauty 🙏
I would like to recommend a book to everyone who likes Eckhart's teachings. It is called "The Present- Universal truth'' . Eckhart is amazing and this book confirms his sayings, builds up on this theme and makes everything perfectly clear. Peace :)
As I wrote earlier, The Present was great for maybe the first half. But then I read that if we don't use our spirituality we will go to the back of the line and have to go back through the animal kingdom to get back to where we were. The author is confused about that (we never fall back from the human kingdom to the animal kingdom or lower). Also we are not part of the animal kingdom. We are part of the human kingdom and differ from all other animals in that we have SELF-consciousness. He is wrong about humanity's recent evolution (past 10,000 years or so on). And he is wrong to believe we go to a physical heaven after this and live perhaps up to 1,000 years old. Totally incorrect, I'm sorry. The book was really hopeful up to this, so I am sorry it veers off into these wrong tangents. The best esoteric sources available to us (Alice A. Bailey, Henry T. Laurency) are quite clear about where we came from and where we are going.
Don Baker This book helped me understand that life is infinite, thus perfect and balanced. Also, the part about our deceptive animal mind is pure truth, evidence all around you. Those explanations allowed me to comprehend life in a new way and truly enjoy it. I agree with you about some parts, and see the flaws in this book, but this is not a place to discuss about them. And those flaws are not the reason to dismiss the book, for sure. TruthContest has done great job in defining the truth, but this is just the beginning and of course there are some incorrect parts. That's why we all need to join the contest and contribute. The Devil (our animal mind) is dividing us and thus preventing us from knowing the God/the truth/life.
Hello Vladimir, I'm glad that the book helped you. I think whatever approach resonates with you is what you should use. Eckhart talks about those things as well, the way our mind deceives us from the infinite. I don't understand why this is not the place to discuss it. This is where people discuss Tolle's ideas. You add a plug for this book that you believe is more clear and complete than Tolle, in an attempt to redirect his readers. If I disagree, should I not comment? I wouldn't promote a book that has some major flaws in it, maybe saying it's great until page so and so, and then don't read further. No that wouldn't make sense. The book claims it is the best collection of truth on the planet, and I find that not to be true. I haven't dismissed the book, but I would suggest those parts I commented on be removed until better information comes in, since they are wrong and will put wrong ideas into readers heads. I will post a comment on your forum directing to information about them. I am just a student of esoteric, so I'm not trying to lead anyone anywhere. But I do see room for improvement. I was very skeptical of a website that collects people's comments and collages a truth from it, since most people have only fragments of truth. But there are some good points in the book, so I'll offer my thoughts for what it's worth. Thanks Vladimir!
Thanks for understanding. In order for us to unite and evolve, we should be working together to define the truth/life. The truth=that wich is=this eternal present moment. That is the core of the book, and it is the truth that never changes and is same for all of us. I also disagree abot some parts of book, and I'll joing the discussion gladly. That's the whole point: one place for all of us to contribute and help definine the truth. ''Most people have only fragments of truth'' - that's the point, sir- we can know the truth only if we unite and everyone donates a fragment, to build a whole sculpture :) Everything should be based on hard evidence and logic, and I agree that some parts of the book don't meet that requirement and should be removed until we are able to explain it better, as you mentioned. Hope you got my point about importance of TruthContest, despite some current flaws. If we just compete with each other who is right, we won't progress. "Together we stand, divided we fall'' :) Blessings, Don..
Sure, if you’re focused on the present moment, you won’t be ruminating on your problems. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have any problems. If you don’t have any money and you’re homeless, that problem doesn’t go away merely because you stop thinking about it. I know Tolle spent some time homeless, and he didn’t feel like he had a problem. But it’s possible to have problems and not realize it. Being in a state of ignorant bliss is no use if your life falls apart around you. If I close my eyes while driving, the other cars are still there. And what if you’re out walking and an angry dog chases you and bites hold of your leg? You can focus on your breathing all you want, but the problem still exists.
Eckhart is one of the greatest spiritualists to grace this earth! When you are aware of the present, the ongoing chatterbox disappears, giving oneself peace and happiness 🎉
10 years ago when I first bought the book the Power of Now, I found it difficult to understand. I stopped not even half way I was 29. 10 years later I started the same book, I had a lot of aha moments. It takes maturity for me to understand this book. Thanks Eckhart Tolle 🙏🏼 And I intend to keep/introduce this book to my 13yo son hopefully it won’t take this long for him to understand ❤️🙏🏼
I found the book : « A new Earth » easier to read than « The power of now ». I think « A new Earth » makes a good introduction before reading « the power of now ».
Be aware of your surrounding ,Acknowledge it ,Appreciate the surrounding ,less thinking more presence Sense you're aliveness presence within and without ,Brilliant Mr Eckhart peace and love to all

Amazing absolutely!! The egoic mind is very clever..that thought is hypnotic...grabs your attention ...at 3.30 am.. Claiming it's importance.. How Ekhart humorously inspires us to be aware of our sense perceptions.. So grateful to the universe for chancing upon this valuable piece of knowledge 🙏🙌
I was meditating for two years to only realise that I'm doing it totally wrong and I was anxious that I had a problem because I never reached the point of self understanding and love. Thank you Jim Carrey for straight giving me Eckhart Tolle and thank you Eckhart for your existense.
It's odd because I remember being like this as a child. I think we all probably are. If you can think back that far as a child; do you ever remember a time where you grumbled about the past in you head or went on and on to yourself about past failings. Or constantly worried about the future. No you did not. You simple were. You played and enjoyed your life ( I would hope so though not all children are blessed with a good life and that is a crime in itself). I think that's why your time as a child seems so long yet it is the shortest period of your life. 10 to 20 seemed like a very very long time to me. I recently turned 40. 30 to 40 seemed to go in a flash. I think when we are children we do not yet have much past life pain or suffering to complain about. So we all need to be more like our child like selves at times and just simply live in the moment. Be in the present and not in the past of furutre.
Justin Stuart - Children are just enjoying the state of being, time is everlasting. I remember in grade 4, 8 years-old, it was a huge event when one month ended and a new month began, the school day lasted forever - generally boring waiting for it to end - and between after school - 3:30 PM - until dinner - 6:00 PM - lasted forever, full of events and adventures. On the way home from school, my friends and I passed a golf course and we would look for golf balls in the bushes and sell them to golfers for a dime or a quarter. With our newfound cash riches, we would go into the golf club and buy a chocolate bar - Oh Henry - and eating that chocolate bar - with its peanuts and wafers and chocolate - was a transcendental experience. Dinner lasted forever. After dinner, watching a Star Trek episode with Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk and some aliens was a long, drawn out Shakespearian drama... now the days and months and years flash by faster and faster... cars and mobile phones and TVs I've owned flash by not meaning much... the only thing that stays is the love of my parents - both gone now - and love affairs with girlfriends and the loyalty of good friends... And the joy of being.
Greatful to have found Eckhart Tolle. He is a genius in explaining the spiritual state and how to observe and apply it. His guidance has been extremely valuable in my quest. 🙏
The essential ingredient of progression is thought....! It is for the very reason that people do NOT think that there is a distinct lack of progression. Mindless psycho babble and personal opinion is not thought, the average person probably has very few thoughts in a year.
Ja..das muss man ein paar mal mit geschlossenen Augen anhören..dann sieht man ihn in Gedanken..ich selbst sehe ihn in einem strahlenden Kreis sitzen wunderschön..weil ich ihm nicht mehr mit den Augen sehe sondern mit dem Herzen ❤
Eckhart is wise to tell that billions of Christians reciting and talking of the Kingdom of God for over 2000 years and never understood,I did understand about this few years ago and now it's endorsed,what a life🙏

Meditation is a mysterious concept that some people might find difficult to comprehend. The easier way to get into the mood of getting awareness of the surrounding and yourself is go do observational sketching. When you spend the time observing the surrounding, and then putting what you see on paper, you will enter that state of mind, the right side of the mind, and will be able to observe things that you have never observed before, and being to see things in a new light.
Teoh Yi Chie Hello Teoh...I was just given this video by a dear friend of mine.I am an artist by hobby,I was watching your Urban sketching and actually practiced it here where I live.I am sorry I lost direction and wondered off to other subjects😰😫 what Mr.Tolle is saying here makes perfect sense and also what you say too,but doing it in a creative way...focusing on shapes,shadows,lines and spaces.I am most happy when I focus on one subject and everything else is pushed aside.This internet crazy society makes it so hard to concentrate and also creates egos ..that are inflated even.It is a hard concept for me to grasp"Meditation" but the mindful way or being in the present moment is easier to understand I think.I will get back to urban sketching I think and try to adopt this way of meditation too.👍🏻✍🏼🧘✌🏻
Eckhart Tolle is a true embodiment of Jesus Christ s Statement on Humility and thus The Ability to be used by The Father Within, The Universal Intelligence/ Wisdom within us All. By God s Grace , Eckhart is able to Still enough within , thus enabling The Still Small Voice, Presence , Infinite Selfhood within , to Flow out through His Being and share with All of Us The Truth that is already within,, we therefore remember This Truth within us All. Sincere Thank You Brother Eckhart for allowing yourself to be an Instrument of Infinite Divine Consciousness, helping Humankind back to The Father/ Mother s House, The Spiritual Dimension. You are Blessed. All who are listening and sharing, hearty Thank You and You are Blessed. Putting All these reminders into daily Practice , we can help in Healing The Planet. Christly Love to You All. Amen
I forgot how funny Eckhart can be "people have been repeating the words of Jesus for thousands of years and who has really understood them? maybe one or two Buddhists"
I am from Afghanistan. I suffered alot due to traumas, anxiety and depression because of war . Eckhart tolle saved my life. I have read all the books of Eckhart tolle. He is the great spiritual teacher. He makes much more sense to me.

May you find the true peace in your heart that Eckhart points to. Bless you

Namaste friend.💖🙏
Feel the love from the universe.
I'm from the Netherlands. I'm so thankful for becoming aware and found my teacher in Eckhart 🙏💥💫
Love from Tennessee.
Heb je zijn boek KRACHT IN HET 36:22 NU al gelezen …of zijn interview bij Ruben Report. Veel kijkplezier
Very wise man, and I really love that he mentions Jesus. So much truth and value given in this talk.
Jesus was likely a Buddhist
For me, No one has ever made more sense of spiritual teachings than this man. His words ring true from deep within. They echo so many other spiritual teachings but in a way that I am not pretending to understand. The understanding is felt from within. I cannot describe the comfort this approach brings to me and my anxious fearful self. Far better than any drug or therapy I have encountered for the past 20+ years.
Comfort is a wonderful adjective for his voice. He is very inclusive and accepting, as well.
if you keep listening to him as i have over the years he speaks total nonsense..i don't expect you to understand that..right now....at least but you will..his insight if you want to call it that is not practical when it comes to many circumstances in life....
I experienced the very same thing ,I felt God presence like never before .
Totally agree
All a spiritual teacher can ever do is point you towards that which you've forgotten. For me, Eckhart's vocabulary and way of articulation was the perfect pointer. As you said, I was no longer pretending to find the thing it was pointing it, but actually found it!
His vocabulary may not work for everyone, but it is for many.
During school, I use to accidentally meditate in classes. There were a few instances where I became aware of my own consciousness and felt my presence and everything around me was one. Hearing Eckhart talk about this is blowing my mind.
Me too
@Irridessa Amore after having that experience you will probably embark on a serious spiritual path to try and embody it all the time. Having a deeply present Man can help ignite those spiritual fires. Let me know if you want a conscious relationship, I can help you find it.
Creepy.
I would feel that after Karate, my teacher used Tai Chi in every class. I would lay down and feel my awareness was larger than my body, or my conscious was feet above my body.
Years later I began meditating to project and now I better understand that feeling. Beautiful and so peaceful.
And projection is amazing if you haven't yet!
Me too!
The teacher comes, when the student is ready.
So true. How reassuring.
I coulnd't agree more
And leaves when the student is truly ready :)
I had to Write that Down!!
Wow now i really understand this statement ..
God is the awareness of the presence of silence.
Please continue your lessons. They are gold. To be treasured in the now.
Eckhart is without a doubt one of the most powerful spiritual people arrived on earth till now. Believe me guys drink him as much as you can before the form dissolve...
You are absolutely right! He is the word of wisdom in a body!
yes
+Yogesh S Thanks dude, you said it really beautifully!
+Yogesh S I agree..Eckhart IS for real.I don't think anything will change him...his inner pain already did that.
i do
Thank you Eckhart! Since I was born, more than fifty years ago, I had never met someone who teaches spirituality in such a simple, clear and yet objective way. Thank you for "The power of now", it feels as if heaven has merged with earth. We appreciate.
Most people knows he smokes a lot of pot...and it does make him laugh a lot...his eyes are always glassy and red...

What a skillful teacher! I've been listening to Eckhart for 20 years. All of his talks are pure gold and most leave me breathless. But this one may well be his best. Not a single redundant word in over 30 minutes. Phenomenal
Beyond all that, there’s the fierce, capitalist
machine behind Tolle’s work to contend with. Nearly everything this guy
touches these days is being turned into a product intended for “your
awakening,” and I don’t get the sense that he has any problem with that.
In fact, I think the packaging of Tolle as a non-threatening spiritual
guru has not only lead to wildly higher sales and spreading of his
message, but also wholesale rejection of his work by those like myself
actively resisting capitalism, colonialism, and the commodification of
spiritual practice.
@@MrClarkkent2001 it sounds like you are still very much entrenched into an ideology, identity, and ego. Tolle speaks about your point in his book A New Earth.
THE GUY IS A TOTAL JOKE....CRAZY IS A BETTER WORD FOR IT AND YOU ARE HANGING ON EVERY WORD..IT DOES NOT MATCH UP WITH REALITY HIS TEACHING IN A NUTSHELL SHOULD BE CALLED TOTAL DENIAL OF THE TRUTH
@@MrClarkkent2001 I hope that you can find peace. If Eckhart isnt for you dont listen. Live and let live. Remember to breathe.
@@chasemorgan6400 i go after a wolf in sheep's clothing my friend. He picks and chooses from the bible what fits his agenda...i have great peace but when it's a spiritual warfare you gotta fight..he has already deceived you.....
After years of following Eckhart I have finally felt and recognised the space between thoughts. Thank you Eckhart. 🙏🏻
Awesome ❤
His teachings saved my life.
me too. He saved a lot of people of suicide.
Golden Wizard knowledge doesn't belong to someone. he just explains how to be in our natural state. spreading the message that has been there for hundreds or thousands of years.
Stolen from the one life....how is that possible? ;)
Likewise!
@Golden Knight Eckhart doesn't say that the knowledge is invented by him, rather he says he is just presenting them. Moreover, if you get to longer versions of his talks, he even quotes from religious scriptures and also discusses interactions with other teachers. Thanks and Regards.
I could listen to Ekhart Tolle all day. Inspiring, wise and shares a powerful internal intelligence!
👌🏼❤
His voice is even consoling.
Most people know he smokes a lot of pot and it makes him laugh a lot...his eyes are always glassy as you can clearly see....

Love to all from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤🌼
After 40 years of meditation, I want to add something. I've learned there are many ways to meditate. I really love his concepts and talks. I have learned to focus my thoughts on certain words which are really inner feelings. This awareness of the self, the presence, manifests in feelings within. Some have named it the fruit of the spirit. First, some words that represent feelings of calmness... peace, love, trust, humbleness. Yogananda said the first sign of success in meditation is feeling peaceful. The second type of feeling is more like excitement... one could focus upon feeling joy, enthusiasm, strength, and unlimitedness. One example of a meditation using words... breathe in (and really try to feel) peace, and breathe out stress and anxiety. Do this repeatedly. Really feel calmness, peace. Breathe in trust, breathe out fear. The power of positive thinking can be viewed as the power of positive feeling. Also, many meditation practices begin by relaxing the body, where we sometimes hold stress. Breathing exercises can calm the body. Progressive relaxation of all the muscles is another. Even exercise or a hot bath or sauna can relax the body. Anyway, hope this may help someone. Don't worry, feel happy. Peace.
*Yea, I read some of Yogananda too. You might like what Drukama is doing, it's a tradition I ended up in. Give it a look! Be well.*
Thanks for the insight Brian!
Really wonderful, encouraging advice. So helpful! Thanks for sharing.
the thing about most meditation is that it is less easily transferable to daily activities....as they focus on limited perceptions as their goal. IE you may focus just on your breathing. Eckhart is recommending a much broader arena of focus which is somewhat unique.

I love his sincerity, his humour and his ability to explain it all so well.

So glad I'm realising all this at a relatively young age...
One Dimensional Man can i know how all you are ? just curious ..
As am I, however what matters is not when you realize it, but that you realize it at all. When you realize it, you realize it now.
We’re each eternal beings. Age is irrelevant 🤣
Same! I’m 22 and sooo happy that I discovered this man and his teachings... I work with older women and they say I’m more “mature” than most people they know their age. I think it’s because I am in control of my mind and emotions via eckharts teachings :)
insearchofsatori I’m a nurse :)
Simply the best. I realized this truth by accident when I was 16.
Thank you. I have no wise words. Just gratefulness
What a great talk. I finished my evening before bedtime with this one. I have a lot of gratitude for the wisdom shared by Eckhart Tolle. Plus he is humorous and humor is a powerful way to lay out what you’re communicating. So great! Goodnight everyone.
I love his voice and the way he speaks. 😍 just want to hug him.
me too... I shook his hand once when he went to Sydney to do a speech. Met him outside the venue when he was about to get into his car. He was so peaceful and kind.
I know what you mean. I love this man.
Lucky man to get a hug from you, pretty girl )

***** lol.... creepy bro
Dear Eckhart, I am so grateful you have taught me so simply how to to meditate and make it light. Just being with the Present moment and letting thoughts just flow on or away like water or air . Thoughts no longer frighten or anger me ( for long). I am so grateful I can look forward to meditating. It is as easy as breathing. I can even do it on my own. It is early, but digestion and sleep are improving. I am finding release and relief. My gratitude to you . Blessings
"Consciousness is constantly being absorbed by a stream of thinking." WOW! How unbelievably accurate and simple is that statement. His words can really put your life into perspective.
When a person has been hunted.. their awareness becomes everything... your life depends on awareness.. to be unaware will cause you to fall pray.
There is more to a human then meets the eye..
I would say interfered with rather than absorbed.
This guy's a comedian, love his naughty boy, or as my sister says "Yoda" look.
Such beautiful energy.
If you dare, for just one hour, one day, one week - don’t just believe but know, with every molecule in your existence, that you are an Infinite Creator. Feel just how right it feels as pure Joy and Grace radiates from you in that Space. Feel how much Divine Love the Universe has for you.

"If you're born in a mental asylum you don't know that everyone is insane"
Such a perfect description of our world.
Now we are in the time son of man, God in Flesh! Have a blessed day!
Not everyone is insane it’s actually less than you think
Thing is, we know we live in an asylum, most people are happy with it and the rulers in charge are psychopaths..
Watch Forensic Files (HLN) once in a while. Mental illness is a sickness. When does it become a crime? Very old Cold cases are solved daily.
@VR G ya but way less than before we are actually rising in consciousness with technology and science
A very powerful message from Eckhart Tolle. His question "What does it feel like to be you (without recourse to memory) in the the present moment" is very significant pointer.
I came here because my obsessionally worrying mind is spoiling my life. My bed has become an instrument of torture, not a place of relaxation. Insomnia through over-thinking ruins my day-time hours. I knew I had to find a way of quieting the 'chattering monkeys' in my head. Eckhart has, with appreciated humour, made me feel 'normal'. Now I understand how and why thoughts get a grip on my attention. Now I feel aremed against un-invited thoughts.
thats why I came here as well,i need a change in my mind
Invite the uninvited guests
Try my technique unplug your ego and your brain and take that plug and plug it into your soul in your heart that really quieted things up for me a lot and then allow all the thoughts that are left just to flow through every thought you resist will get stuck in place and become your experience good luck friend you can do it
checking up: now
blessed be you who are reading this!
Thank you God for these recordings, I have learned ways to control "Francesca"... my meaner side of my bipolar personality.

I love this analogy... As someone who had actually thought they were being productive, as a multi-tasker, I was never in the moment. I am thankful to recognize this and to know the difference!

Pietro Giardina for some reason likes to troll in comments of many Tolle videos,
so, per usual, here you go Pietro, 🧻you're welcome.
Eckhart is so calming. Such an interesting man.
I used to meditate for years TM, Buddhist, Holosync which can be restful. However I used to still get very irritated during meditation. Then I read about The Power of Now. Understanding how the ego is at the root of many problems is far more helpful. I no longer meditate as it does not really change the problems caused by the ego. Being aware of the ego is very important and eliminates self inflicted problems that we blame on others.
I'm right there with you!
+calsitup I combine em' both. Meditate and presense.
+calsitup So what is the "EGO"?
The "EGO" is all the things you identify with, all your beliefs, attitudes and so on. People end up in conflict with others defending their "EGO"
calsitup So who am I? I mean real "me". If I'm not that ego?
This was quite literally the best video I have ever seen in my life

I'm honored to be still somewhat young with almost 3 years with Eckhart's teachings. He's helping to save me from myself 😊 peace and love
What a thought … saving us from ourselves … but now I certainly see that is needed. Thank goodness he is helping us know how we can do this.
I love this man. His teaching is so powerful yet so basic. Thank you 🙏
Why does Eckhart sound so precise, witty, clever and wise? Because he is permanently connected to the inner vastness of pure consciousness.
If anyone meets him, tell him we are eternally grateful for the teachings/ pointings.
Wonderful speech The Journey into the NOW 1) Aware of your surrounding through your sense perceptions 2) Acknowledge of life 3) Feel the aliveness pervading in your body 4) Leave space between your thoughts 5) Can you be aware of the fact that you are aware ? The essence of now is ultimately who you are. There is no self. Have a good live in spacious awareness. (from Turkey)

As many spiritual teachers nowaday will advocate to talk to ours subconcious mind positive stuff to overcome difficult life situations. Its application implying
more stress and overwhelming. Whereas Eckhart relies all the stress. By listening to him frees from ours own self and all of a sudden feel relief from all burden. Wonderful ❤❤❤Incredible❤❤❤Most extraordinary Being❤❤❤
Mr. Tolle is such a good teacher. Thank you for sharing this meditation.
I can really appreciate how people like Eckhart Tolle and Alan Wallace, who speak about complex topics like consciousness and meditation, don't need to flaunt a certain 'image'. They don't seem to associate very much with the 'New Age', 'hippy', self-righteous fad that often comes with worldly and philosophical interest. No long hair, no eccentric clothing, no tattoos or piercings,.....just honest people. Even the way they speak is clean and good-natured, with very little influence from the degeneracy of pop-culture.
did you mean Alan watts?
Daniel San No, but I suppose he could be included as well
Alan Wallace, I'll check him out. Thanx. :)

Thank you lovely Eckhart . When our thoughts can make our precious lives seem so difficult and complicated, presence introduces us to reality, which is unlimited aliveness , freedom and beauty 🙏
I would like to recommend a book to everyone who likes Eckhart's teachings. It is called "The Present- Universal truth'' . Eckhart is amazing and this book confirms his sayings, builds up on this theme and makes everything perfectly clear. Peace :)
As I wrote earlier, The Present was great for maybe the first half. But then I read that if we don't use our spirituality we will go to the back of the line and have to go back through the animal kingdom to get back to where we were. The author is confused about that (we never fall back from the human kingdom to the animal kingdom or lower). Also we are not part of the animal kingdom. We are part of the human kingdom and differ from all other animals in that we have SELF-consciousness. He is wrong about humanity's recent evolution (past 10,000 years or so on). And he is wrong to believe we go to a physical heaven after this and live perhaps up to 1,000 years old. Totally incorrect, I'm sorry. The book was really hopeful up to this, so I am sorry it veers off into these wrong tangents. The best esoteric sources available to us (Alice A. Bailey, Henry T. Laurency) are quite clear about where we came from and where we are going.
Don Baker This book helped me understand that life is infinite, thus perfect and balanced. Also, the part about our deceptive animal mind is pure truth, evidence all around you. Those explanations allowed me to comprehend life in a new way and truly enjoy it. I agree with you about some parts, and see the flaws in this book, but this is not a place to discuss about them. And those flaws are not the reason to dismiss the book, for sure. TruthContest has done great job in defining the truth, but this is just the beginning and of course there are some incorrect parts. That's why we all need to join the contest and contribute. The Devil (our animal mind) is dividing us and thus preventing us from knowing the God/the truth/life.
Hello Vladimir, I'm glad that the book helped you. I think whatever approach resonates with you is what you should use. Eckhart talks about those things as well, the way our mind deceives us from the infinite. I don't understand why this is not the place to discuss it. This is where people discuss Tolle's ideas. You add a plug for this book that you believe is more clear and complete than Tolle, in an attempt to redirect his readers. If I disagree, should I not comment? I wouldn't promote a book that has some major flaws in it, maybe saying it's great until page so and so, and then don't read further. No that wouldn't make sense. The book claims it is the best collection of truth on the planet, and I find that not to be true. I haven't dismissed the book, but I would suggest those parts I commented on be removed until better information comes in, since they are wrong and will put wrong ideas into readers heads. I will post a comment on your forum directing to information about them. I am just a student of esoteric, so I'm not trying to lead anyone anywhere. But I do see room for improvement. I was very skeptical of a website that collects people's comments and collages a truth from it, since most people have only fragments of truth. But there are some good points in the book, so I'll offer my thoughts for what it's worth. Thanks Vladimir!
Thanks for understanding. In order for us to unite and evolve, we should be working together to define the truth/life. The truth=that wich is=this eternal present moment. That is the core of the book, and it is the truth that never changes and is same for all of us. I also disagree abot some parts of book, and I'll joing the discussion gladly. That's the whole point: one place for all of us to contribute and help definine the truth. ''Most people have only fragments of truth'' - that's the point, sir- we can know the truth only if we unite and everyone donates a fragment, to build a whole sculpture :) Everything should be based on hard evidence and logic, and I agree that some parts of the book don't meet that requirement and should be removed until we are able to explain it better, as you mentioned. Hope you got my point about importance of TruthContest, despite some current flaws. If we just compete with each other who is right, we won't progress. "Together we stand, divided we fall'' :) Blessings, Don..
Sure, if you’re focused on the present moment, you won’t be ruminating on your problems. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have any problems. If you don’t have any money and you’re homeless, that problem doesn’t go away merely because you stop thinking about it.
I know Tolle spent some time homeless, and he didn’t feel like he had a problem. But it’s possible to have problems and not realize it. Being in a state of ignorant bliss is no use if your life falls apart around you. If I close my eyes while driving, the other cars are still there.
And what if you’re out walking and an angry dog chases you and bites hold of your leg? You can focus on your breathing all you want, but the problem still exists.
This person watching is videos is helping me understand things xxxx
Eckhart is one of the greatest spiritualists to grace this earth! When you are aware of the present, the ongoing chatterbox disappears, giving oneself peace and happiness 🎉
10 years ago when I first bought the book the Power of Now, I found it difficult to understand. I stopped not even half way I was 29. 10 years later I started the same book, I had a lot of aha moments. It takes maturity for me to understand this book. Thanks Eckhart Tolle 🙏🏼
And I intend to keep/introduce this book to my 13yo son hopefully it won’t take this long for him to understand ❤️🙏🏼
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear”🙂
I found the book : « A new Earth » easier to read than « The power of now ». I think « A new Earth » makes a good introduction before reading « the power of now ».
Very good information 🙏you
I'm addicted to Tolle's video's they keep me sane.
So simple and yet so difficult to achieve.
It is worth a lifetime of practice to grasp this state of presence.
Thanks for the ride!
Eduardo Manoel Araujo that is another thought that your mind is telling you. Take a closer second look before you believe what your brain is thinking.
Try to deciding that it's easy and it will happen a lot quicker life's only ever what you think it is that goes for experiences of every kind
Thank you so much for the power of now.

It's odd because I remember being like this as a child. I think we all probably are. If you can think back that far as a child; do you ever remember a time where you grumbled about the past in you head or went on and on to yourself about past failings. Or constantly worried about the future. No you did not. You simple were. You played and enjoyed your life ( I would hope so though not all children are blessed with a good life and that is a crime in itself). I think that's why your time as a child seems so long yet it is the shortest period of your life. 10 to 20 seemed like a very very long time to me. I recently turned 40. 30 to 40 seemed to go in a flash. I think when we are children we do not yet have much past life pain or suffering to complain about. So we all need to be more like our child like selves at times and just simply live in the moment. Be in the present and not in the past of furutre.
Justin Stuart - Children are just enjoying the state of being, time is everlasting. I remember in grade 4, 8 years-old, it was a huge event when one month ended and a new month began, the school day lasted forever - generally boring waiting for it to end - and between after school - 3:30 PM - until dinner - 6:00 PM - lasted forever, full of events and adventures.
On the way home from school, my friends and I passed a golf course and we would look for golf balls in the bushes and sell them to golfers for a dime or a quarter. With our newfound cash riches, we would go into the golf club and buy a chocolate bar - Oh Henry - and eating that chocolate bar - with its peanuts and wafers and chocolate - was a transcendental experience.
Dinner lasted forever. After dinner, watching a Star Trek episode with Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk and some aliens was a long, drawn out Shakespearian drama... now the days and months and years flash by faster and faster... cars and mobile phones and TVs I've owned flash by not meaning much... the only thing that stays is the love of my parents - both gone now - and love affairs with girlfriends and the loyalty of good friends... And the joy of being.
Innocence of a Child- pure Bliss❤️

"Less thinking and more aware of aliveness ". An anchor for being present. WOW 😳 thank You
The essential ingredient of progression is thought....! It is for the very reason that people do NOT think that there is a distinct lack of progression. Mindless psycho babble and personal opinion is not thought, the average person probably has very few thoughts in a year.
Eckhart Tolle is really a modern day Desert Father except he’s not religious. Remarkable really. Such a gift this man is.
This talk couldn't have come at a better time, thank you!
He totally nails it in this one! Love it....and will save it to watch again and again! :)

Meditation is a mysterious concept that some people might find difficult to comprehend. The easier way to get into the mood of getting awareness of the surrounding and yourself is go do observational sketching. When you spend the time observing the surrounding, and then putting what you see on paper, you will enter that state of mind, the right side of the mind, and will be able to observe things that you have never observed before, and being to see things in a new light.
That's an interesting comment Teoh. Although I don't sketch or draw, I think you're on to something with it. Thank you!
Great suggestion thank you
Very true.
Muy bueno!!! muchas gracias Teoh!!
Teoh Yi Chie Hello Teoh...I was just given this video by a dear friend of mine.I am an artist by hobby,I was watching your Urban sketching and actually practiced it here where I live.I am sorry I lost direction and wondered off to other subjects😰😫 what Mr.Tolle is saying here makes perfect sense and also what you say too,but doing it in a creative way...focusing on shapes,shadows,lines and spaces.I am most happy when I focus on one subject and everything else is pushed aside.This internet crazy society makes it so hard to concentrate and also creates egos ..that are inflated even.It is a hard concept for me to grasp"Meditation" but the mindful way or being in the present moment is easier to understand I think.I will get back to urban sketching I think and try to adopt this way of meditation too.👍🏻✍🏼🧘✌🏻
My goal in life is to be as calm and unmoved by outside world as this man
Eckhart Tolle is a true embodiment of Jesus Christ s Statement on Humility and thus The Ability to be used by The Father Within, The Universal Intelligence/ Wisdom within us All. By God s Grace , Eckhart is able to Still enough within , thus enabling The Still Small Voice, Presence , Infinite Selfhood within , to Flow out through His Being and share with All of Us The Truth that is already within,, we therefore remember This Truth within us All.

You are Blessed. All who are listening and sharing, hearty Thank You and You are Blessed. Putting All these reminders into daily Practice , we can help in Healing The Planet.

I forgot how funny Eckhart can be "people have been repeating the words of Jesus for thousands of years and who has really understood them? maybe one or two Buddhists"
