" We are not human beings longing for spiritual experience . We are spiritual beings having a human experience "
Wow, that’s thought provoking!
You are right👍
We are the source, having a human experience.
When you insert "a being", or even "a spiritual being" or "a soul" in that phrase, it implies some experience of separation or identification/ego.
Spiritual beings do not suffer even though incarnated in a body, like Krishna, Jesus, Babaji, etc.
Our essence is pure Consciousness k
or Spirit, however , we (the vast majority of earthlings), are unconscious dysfunctional human beings. 😮
In layman's term..we should neither chase pleasant experience not avoid unpleasant one because Atma doesn't like or dislike.
“As long as you think more is better, you’ll never be satisfied.”
aye bro, less is more by focus of energy. Creativity and inspiration beyond the ‘limitations’.
I heard that altered state of mind in meditation and deep breathing or if you are religious or spiritual, you pray or any other method that brings you relaxation can help you get into an altered state of mind to think deeply from your subconscious mind .
Thank you whether you respond or not ...( We do not know Each other but we can help inspire one another ...)

Gladly wonders in these thoughts
@@siriusbhive2292 Free yourself from thoughts, any thoughts.
He's on fire. Just cracked me up. Makes living alone without electricity an absolute joy. Thank you so much, this line of thinking has been intermittent in my life, but you have helped by giving this way of being a vocabulary I can understand. Thank you thank you thank you.

Sending love to everyone out there. If nobody has told you this today: you are loved, you are important, and you matter. I see you, I'm sending a hug, and I'm telling you everything is going to be ok. ❤️
Wish the same for you.
Lots of love, happiness, good health and success in all walks of life :)
@@Raman11113 thank you!!
have a blessed new year
You are a sweetheart. God Bless 😇🤗❤️🕊✨
I wish you the same ❤️
there are **no words** to express the degree to which i love this man
There's no word to describe how naive you are..
@@Grateful4Today ?
Me too
@@Grateful4Today may be he is just being grateful.
There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less
The best way is to realize you already have everything you can possibly ever want, right here and now
Life is it! How can anything eclipse life itself? Greatest gift you were ever given.
@@KnockManJo but i need money to travel and i really want to see the world....

Make a plan and get those things then, but never forget that what you're after is not a specific thing but a consequent feeling/state of being that can be accessed now
“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.” - G.K. Chesterton
We are beyond thought. We are pure love. We are pure consciousness. 🌕❤️
Why are you geh?
Oh yes brother, freedom
@@HiawathaNenad Decipher that for me. What is 'geh'?
Right you are! Pure love. Light. Consciousness. Being-ness devoid of Form. Our very existence here is a manifestation of a thought, a desire to experience a form-based reality. But once our journey through Form ends, we revert to our original Formlessness. In essence, we need not exist in order to BE, meaning that our eternal Being-ness is not dependent upon assumption of any form.
Listening to him is meditation...
I'm doing better and better at self-soothing these days, my living conditions are bothersome at times still. However, I'm intensely focused on how to move through the moments of shame, blame, guilt, resentment and discontent... let them come up and pass, so I can feel free from the "tortured artist" image. Replacing that old self with the conscious self as often as possible. It has been really fun at times learning how to control my mind and let go of outcomes, while I prepare for my future. I'm super appreciative of the support from this corner of the internet. We love ya, E.T.
This moment is all there is.
Rumi
Just as suffering, happiness is mind-made. Or as the Buddha described it: the natural state of the mind is bright, clear light

No ,if you pull your finger nails off with pliers,you will suffer no matter what your mind thinks.
@@meganmclaughlin9056 There is a difference between pain and suffering. You cannot avoid pain, no one claims that
ET is a therapist and a teacher,,
His teachings must be learned at school and the world will be better.!
He gives us the keys of knowledge for many years
Residing in your true Self is the ultimate bliss
I have been listening to Eckhart for years and I love to hear how he experiences the world. At the same time I feel sad that I have still not connected with this source of satisfaction.
As he said it’s about being present and in the moment. Some of us, and I am guilty of this, focus too much on tomorrow, as the saying goes - yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why we call it the present. I’m trying to live for today and it’s bringing more harmony into my life.
@yasmin87 think of it as being grateful for the moment what ever it is and accept it.
@yasmin87 just read his book the Power of Now everything he elaborate on everything there
The moments we feel joy, love n appreciation for lil things is a form of satisfaction. Sometimes that's the best I can do anyway!? Haha
I think it is because we expect it to be something miraculous and sudden. We will get there one day. Just do not give up on spreading love towards others.♥️
Gosh I don’t know what I would do if these spiritual teachings weren’t so accessible. They bring such peace to my soul
"I don't care about marvelous sights! I only want to be in Your presence." ~Rumi ❤️🙏🏽
Oh that is GREAT! Thank you!
That’s a good one
Love that
Once , forever , and for all ,
We just have a call ,
To play a divinely led role ,
Whether big or small , short or tall ,
To change and reset the matrix ,
To flow with life and through it scroll,
Speak to the universe as one in all ,
( All are inter-connected with divine love )
So it can listen when you call ,
As one group complete and whole ,
We are all one and one is all ,
A good ripple effect we recall ...
@@waelfaraj6705 @Wael Faraj Oh wow, thanks for posting your absurd Q-site obscure hogwash. Soooo edifying!
If circumstances are taking their toll a talking from Tolle is the bridge back to now where all is won
Exactly why I’m here
reading comments from Eckhart's videos are so satisfying!
I feel like the last few seconds when you made sounds of her crying, was coming from your ego. There was something that made me think for a few seconds.
We will never be able nor should we, or could we, get rid of our ego, because it has a physical location in our brain. But we always try our best to control it. And you too are only human, Tolle.
With that being said, your videos and audiobooks and books and teachings have helped me a great deal to deal with my own ego, with sadness and overall irritation. And I thank you for that. I love your TH-cam channel.
Always looking forward from new content. Very soothing for the mind. Thank you.
I would even say that those secondary satisfactions end up being all the sweeter when you apply presence to the activities involved with them...it is much easier to get distracted but you enjoy those moments in more totality when you aren't chattering away in your mind all the while. Easy in concept, fun to master!
Always makes me joyful hearing eckhart
"being above the situation", "being at the mercy of externals"-how simple, but how deep this is. As usual, a very timely and therapeutic message. Gratitude is the feeling I have whenever I listen to you, Mr. Tolle. Every word of yours is -TRUTH. God give you good health for years to come. Best wishes for the new year and best wishes to everyone who is here.
I totally agree, if only this was taught to children.........maybe one day.
I started making it a goal to listen to at least one of his videos daily, and doing so has changed my life. Eckhart, you are a brilliant man and an inspiration to me and many others. Thank you for your seemingly endless wisdom.
We cannot control everything what is happenning around us but we can take control over what is happenning inside us.
Thank you for your teachings!
The end part where Eckhart talks with his distinct sweet, lightly trembling yet so powerful and caring voice in such a beautiful background music - my tear flows down my cheeks and I’m filled with a peaceful presence...
I very frequently depend and react on how people behave towards me...have a lot of expectations, mostly non being satisfied...cause they do not behave according to my ideas...thank you for illuminating✨
I do as well. I feel you..lol.
U are a wonderfull person. When I first found u, I was taking drugs, and imagined myself to be very awake and I thought I was really bringing the spirit across to people. I was so wrong.... I was ego tripping my entire life basicly before I discovered u, Ram Dass and Alan Watts. I'm just so grateful that u guys showed me there was something real to strive for in life. I'm far away from beeing at service to everyone but at least I really try to bring the spirit into everyday life now. Thank u for pointing out the way to me, I'm glad I can call u my spirit buddy lol. U do so much good to the world, especially right now, when I feel hopeless I listen to ur calming words and it always reminds me to get away from my drama and to see the big picture.
🙏🙏🙏🪷
I’ve being practicing Eckhart’s teaching (living in the present moment) for a long time now, and finally it works for me as a sustainable source of satisfaction:)
Sending you my pure love and good prayers dear Eckhart. Thankful for having you in my life. You are such a positive vibe.
Discover the loving awareness that you are ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Satisfaction is an inside job 🙏❤️💪🏽
This is so true. Without attachment to our thoughts about things, we can move through life with pure presence. It's all good, even when it's not. 🥰
The Source of Satisfaction is knowing the Truth about everything, especially yourself, Presence.
when we're unconscious, our sense of satisfaction is snatched by corporations and sold to us as products & services for a price. But when you wake up.❤️❤️
True, but there is also the issue of fear. Right now I am in fear most of the time. I have no job and my business is struggling. It's very difficult to practice presence and live a satisfied life when you are in fear. I am very much looking forward to death at this point in my life. Fear is the opposite of love.
@@BeFoundOnTheWeb sorry to hear of your suffering, Scott. Also when we are fearful, we cannot access our mental faculties to help us seek a solution.
Separation from the voice in your head stoking up the fear might help you. 🙏🏼 👍🏽
@@AnisQiz I'm not looking for pity and I don't know that my suffering is that great, aside from the voice in my head. I just think the end of life will be a great relief.
@@BeFoundOnTheWeb We have received our second round of stimulus checks. What a wonderful life! And the vaccines are everywhere doing good things for the future. Hang In There Baby! (meow :)
@@BeFoundOnTheWeb If you lose your business your home and maybe a car so what? This is not important, 'things" are not important, the Universe will guide you, just let things happen they are meant to be whatever way they are, don't resist what is in life and there is no way of even knowing if it will be bad thing ( if you lose your home and business) because you do not know what will happen after. Maybe you will win the lottery the week after, who knows! Losing all now could be the making of you. Just realise everything you could ever want is INSIDE you, the outer objects like cars, homes, business's are nothing compared to what we have within us. Please stay strong and don't take things so seriously!
Sending love to all ❤️
Lol, I am eating homemade apple pie while watching this. Very satisfying.
Were you present?
Pass me a slice? 😋🥰🥧
@@NotMyWillButThineBeDone lol, i wish. Wouldn't that be awesome?
Important one to understand guys ! Trust me on this .
Thank you Eckhart💖🌱🙏🌼
Yet another "Best ET talk ever".
Thanks very much for this simple, true and eye-opening message! 😊🙏👍
Greetings and blessings from Switzerland
I truly wish I knew of you 30 years ago when I came to America. U make the simple life so amazingly beautiful . Like the way you describe the room , I hope one day I will be in ur live retreat . For now am enjoying all your videos and learning a lot. Your peacefulness and calm demeanor rely helps me to understand all my struggles for the last 30 years. My life is like a hidden story and each time I listen to ur videos I feel so different . I always wonder to myself if am different from my siblings .
Presence is the true source of satisfaction in life. Secondary sources aren't wrong, but they may just bring you into the presence at that moment.
Are you above or below the situation? Are you free or dependent?
Shift to inner peace. See what happens!
True human being is flowing benevolence and goodwill to others!
Thanks Eckhart.
🤪🐷🏝🏊♂️🍑🌸💪🦁🌄🤣🐘🕯💖😇🌷🍒
You are such a beautiful being of love and light. Thank you for being here on earth during this powerful transition :) The universe and God love you unconditionally ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
To the person reading this, remember that everything begins with you. You are Light, You are Peace, You are Harmony.🥰
Thank you Eckhart. You are a gift
I was crying when Eckhart talked about his memory about going on a Vacation in Spain,I wish I had that source of satisfaction too
It is absolutely amazing to me that you used the sea view/wall view metaphor in this video. I live in a trailer park and before I got to the part where you talked about the view of the sea or the view of a brick wall, I paused the video and looked out the window, into the trailer park where I reside, and practiced presence for a brief moment. Then I thought, "Yes, this is ok, but I would much rather have a view of the ocean. Wouldn't this moment of presence be much nicer if I were overlooking the sea." And that is what all of us really are working for. We want that view of the sea from our living room window, but it's very expensive so we have to compete with each other, which brings disharmony into our lives.
So I guess the real question for me is, did I somehow intuit the sea view/wall view story that Eckhart was about to tell? Or was it a coincidence? My resolution for 2021 is to try to use my sense of intuition more.
When you see the sea all the time you stop noticing the view - It becomes normal. Most people living at the coast can't even appreciate it. When you don't have it and only get it occasionally it is much more valuable. It's like with everything else: "too much of a good thing..."
Well, I've been thinking.....can't I sell everything and move where I want ? Work at McDonald's if I have to ....live more simply....what do we want more ? A view of the ocean or this or that....I think we can get what we want....we might have to shift some things around but where there's a will right ?
@@susan4yahshua You can live a simpler life right now. Embrace minimalism. You don't have to move or work for exploitative corporations. Just realize that you need less and get rid of everything that stands in your way to happiness.
I've found that from Deep awareness you can get the same enjoyment from simply looking at a picture of the ocean. really looking at it deeply and feeling the resonance in your energy body. you don't actually have to go anywhere. the incredible blessing of the internet that gives us access to whatever we want to see. there are just many mental blocks that people have in their conditioned egos, such as "I have to move" or "I have to go somewhere in order to experience x y z" when in reality there are so many beautiful experiences that we can bring to us in this day and age
Live from the primary source of satisfaction 🙏
You are fantastic Eckhart…thank you so much for your teachings and wisdom.🙏
Thank you mr Tolle! You never fail to bring me a relief in depression. I can just relax and be okay with my mood and problems fade away)
Thank you for your hard work and have a profitable day Eckhart
This is a very special Eckhart Tolle talk, a wonderfully personal and simple explanation of something most valuable and profound.
I am not enlightened as yet but I have been practicing letting go as Eckhart speaks about for awhile. I am not always good at it immediately but usually relax into it at some point. Since I have been ordering and getting home grocery delivery during the Pandemic I have pretty much been able to let it go if I don't receive the specific item I ordered or it is not available etc. I know others who complain about the risk of shopping in the stores but won't order delivery because they can't always get exactly what they want. They will risk contracting a deadly virus just to get a specific item. I find this delivery thing to be a good spiritual practice. I also deeply appreciate that others are taking the risk for me. I should add that my husband and I are both way over sixty, no longer own a car, and he has chronic illnesses and is at high risk. I have pondered all this deeply. If everyone ordered then only delivery shoppers would be in stores and could mask and more effectively social distance plus they would be earning a living. I know it won't be this way but I just give them five stars and stay fairly content with what I receive. I encourage you to try it if you haven't already.♥️
I should realize that it doesn't matter
I should be satisfied..I should feel peaceful
Thank you for showing me the right way..🤩🤩🤩
Exactly what I need right now!!!
True Inner Peace & Freedom will allow one to transform with No Emotional Attachments to anything outside of oneself: Humans, Money, Material items, Life Situations, Status, Opinions, and Beliefs..
Primary source of satisfaction is living in the Now fully and intensively.
But nothings happening now. I get bored.
Yes this too is a situation enjoy it. Don't resist it. No sooner will you surrender to your boredom, it will no longer exist. Try it🙏
@@susan4yahshua plz listen to the video with attention.
@@susan4yahshua You get bored because you derive your sense of satisfaction from external reality. I never get bored. I never wait - I meditate.
@@onreact huh....thats .... true I guess. U gave me something to think about....lol.
How can I thank you Eckhart ,I love you !
How so comforting u give the lovely the concept. Of the Reality an the situations of life .Genius he is .I'm liking the manner he speaks a free spirited Soul
Thank you all & Eckhart ⚓🦋⚓🦋⚓🦋⚓
Dear Eckhart, you talked about something that was a problem, when my son came to visit me. Thank you for what you do for people. Very comforting. My dream is to meet you in a your park and sit on a bench for a while, even silently:)
Love his sense of humor and how Tolle brings fundamental concepts to daily life. It is a good begin of my day, thanks!
OMG this is so beautiful. This story is so healing.
Thank you very much Eckhart for sharing such wonderful teachings and life experiences. Best wishes that this message can rebuild many lives.
Mr Eckhart Master you don't know but I have always to thank you: you saved my life with your writings. THANKS THANKS THANKS
Best wishes for the new year my so dear Eckhart ❤️🙏 sending love and prayers to you....

Can you feel his power though the video and his words?.
currently reading ‚the power of now‘ again. everything he shares is just mind blowing. I’m in deep gratitude.
Really. So how has ur life changed ?
Thank you, Eckhart, for everything. Most grateful for your teachings.
Thank you for sharing your kindness, wisdom and your sense of humour Eckhart ! Each of your videos send love and a virtual hug to each one of us. Thank you !
This video was a pleasant surprise, seeing Eckhart so cheerful and animated!!
I'm incredibly glad to be free from unconcious reactions the way I used to be. It used to be that I would have to scream into a pillow and cry and hate myself at the collapsed wedding. I am so grateful for every ounce of intense suffering.
U have changed my way of thinking. Now to put it into practice!
Thank you Eckhart! This is just what I.needed to hear right now. This guy is totally amazing! Just love him.
his teaching change eveyone life and make a peacful and crime free world..everyone listen him for change his life..be happy always☺💔💓💜

Truth Inside 🙏
Thank you, Eckhart ❤️
Grateful for this man
Thanks for another inspiring teaching!
Always on the time my dear teacher 🍀🌹
Thank you very much for your teaching, Eckhart Tolle😍
True satisfaction is derived by presence 💞
So relevant to all! Thank you!
Thank you ❤️💚💞🙏🙏🙏
I needed to hear this and the universe gave it to me. Life is suffering, yes, but right now its good.🌞🌝🌞
*Decide how you feel about a situation instead of the other way around, it's simpler that way.* ❤️
Sometimes satisfaction is made of putting pieces of a puzzle in place..the moments..but you build towards a greater satisfaction when you finish the puzzle. It is not in the present moment.
Yet the last moment wouldnt be so satisfying without the journey. It is only ever the present, even in that last "satisfying" moment
Awareness is breathing in - thinking is breathing out.
They both need each other.
Ah, yes... Presence... Its an answer to all questions😇
Thank you Eckhart!!🙏🤩🌌🌍💚
I love you Eckhart ❤️💚
Eckhart you are the best thank you very much for this teaching extremely good.
Thanks a million times 🙏🙏
Timely for me now. Need to practice it.
