Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most original and inspiring spiritual teachers of our time. He travels and teaches throughout the world.
Eckhart is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, but excludes none. His profound yet simple and practical teachings have helped thousands of people find inner peace, healing and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of individual and collective human consciousness - a global spiritual awakening.
Eckhart Tolle is the author of The Power of Now, a #1 New York Times Bestseller, which has been translated into 32 languages and become one of the most influential spiritual books of our time.
In his most recent book, A New Earth, he shows how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world.
Being alone gives clarity to the mind. It gives you an opportunity to find answers within yourself. If you can master being alone, you can master life. Peace
This ✌
Then one day you will realize that you are not alone.
I couldn't agree more.
And then you can no longer interact with other people cause they find you difficult to be with...
@@qiarra Do you refer to Eckhart? When you have "friends" who are very attached to their egos you have to leave them alone. Thy only like your company as long as you feed their selfish needs.
Often times people feel lonely because they feel they need someone else to feel whole. But, I believe that if people spend the time alone, discovering who they really are and what is really important, they find that they don't need someone else. That makes them better suited to having a meaningful relationship, rather than a string of bad ones, just trying to fill the void, of not feeling whole.
Exactly
You are perfect as you are. You don't need anybody to complete you. The idea of loneliness is a pretty new concept that has been popularized in the West during the most recent centuries. When you are feeling lonely you rather feel empty as your spiritual dimension is not yet deep enough.
I experienced this recently. I've been in a romantic relationship for the past four years, and was clinging to her for a feeling of completeness and happiness. She had become such an important part to my story. After my awakening I began to realize that everything that I need to be happy is already here within me. I still love her, but my attachment to her withered away to nothing.
@@evantochydlowski4787 Learning this too!
yes feeling fixing in this digital age only serves the ego not the spirit or true self, only gratitude lays a solid foundation and removes the fear of the stormy mind, its all energy waves, playing instruments is a great way to find the right vibes :) recovery is always possible every waking day we find ourselves apart but so together behind distant walls
How he has the sweetest laugh, I can so easily see him as a little boy 💕💕💕
I listen to Elkhart every morning, it truly has changed my life .
Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos .
“ E.T” 🤣🥰 really have to love him.
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there is in me an invincible summer.
That egoic need to prove that "I am right", the need to "win the argument" and "crush the other" pretty much sums up 99.9% of interactions on social media
True!
There should be a 24/7 chat room that everyone in this comments section on this channel and video could talk on.
No! You are wrong! Just kidding.
Not just social media, but in family and romantic relationships too. When your partner always insists they are right and you are wrong time and time again, it breaks a relationship..
@@onreact hahhaa XD
Eckhart, thank you for being you. Your words, and even your voice, bring so much peace. You are a gift to humanity ♥️🕊
He is so, so beautiful
🙏
I left Facebook because of its divisive nature. My time is so much better listening to you, including the pauses. Thank you for adding peace and love to the world. You have changed my life.🥰
Being alone is different from being lonely, being alone can be peaceful, being lonely feels miserable
This is what he means when he says ego is complete identification with form, you're identifying with the loneliness you feel. You're not really lonely. Accept that you feel alone, and know that you need no one next to you in order for you to be happy. You are in control of the way you feel.
Lonely is a state of mind
Being alone happens, feeling lonely is a choice. Yet in reality we are never alone.
One is mind made(lonely) the other is not
Alone is All One
Eckhart is unconditioned consciousness.
That’s why he is pure.
No mind, no separation.
♥️Listened to You for 2 years now on a daily - and nightly basis. I found Your talks in the right time. Saved me from going mad. I am quite conscious now. I am deeply thankful to You♥️
Annabella Crewe sounds just like me! I thought many times I was going insane before, hating myself and my life. I am on a path of recovery from within.
@@patmanpatmanson I learned from ET that meditation in daily life is to be aware and ptesent, meaning remembering Your breath in any situation, and one cannot think when breathing. Funny ! But I found that this is the right way for me, because meditation is to be awake and aware. Then One remembers to respond instead of reacting ! Many years has passed and many things I tried in order to find balance. ET came here at the right time. Namaste 🌱❤
*"Peace comes when we stop seeking for it"*
That is only true when you are seeking peace from a position of self importance (for example "I should have peace because i am better than other people and other people have peace") . Simply put you evaluate yourself continually and everytime you notice you dont have peace you create frustration, this happens because of impatience ("Why cant i have this peace now!"). Essentially you are self-sabotaging with the notion of attaining peace. Peace isnt attained, it is letting go.
If you seek peace from a position of love you will find it and more.
Okay, my ego has now heard and understood the conceptual key to happiness. So now it shall go ahead and seek how to stop seeking..
@@Daniel-pr4uk If you stop seeking, how will you find the truth?
@@DMZArkadus Instead of frantically trying to find it, just stop, become aware and you will be able to stop seeking. The truth arises from within.
@@r2dadizubz You realise that you only have what you know because you were seeking it?
He really has a gift for expressing this stuff. I am so grateful that it is available to me. And that I am available to it.
Thank you Eckhart. I imagine when people spend time with babies and pets they are enjoying more often the "invincible summer". Nothing to prove, just a witnessing, and a merging with what seems to be total acceptance.
Yes, indeed!
Or when being with no one..
He is so funny and yet truthful
Happy to see the channel at 800k subscribers -- you've been so effective at spreading your positive message! Forever grateful for you and everything you've taught us🙏
Actually he has 1800k followers
I’ve been searching for enlightentment, advanced stages of awakening, and truth. This whole time, the very grace that is the timeless awareness, was me . I was searching with the mind, even though that timeless being was there the whole time perfectly invisible and just being as is. Let your mind search and hurt itself. The truth is you, the very observer of all and is all in different forms. This awareness is always there and everything arises out of it. Namaste.
Or .... You could also check out Abraham - Hicks stuff. Just sayin'...
Jesus is king! But i still enjoy certain philosophical view points
Do not identify with thoughts you don't want to own, let them pass by, until you like the.
That was awesome!
The truth of what he says reveals itself daily to me. I love you, thank you
Being here now is beautiful- and it works. A bit difficult to stop the myriad of troubling thoughts racing through my head. But I have been going into the still places more. Glad your here now!
There are nuggets of comedy gold in his messages, so much truth 🤣
Thank the universe for Eckhart! he has helped me out in many ways. i'm grateful we have him.
He look to me like a mighty wizard. His voice, his calmness.
Tham Tham he looks to me like the mighty master Yoda
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you
...in the depths of sorrow 💔...in the depths of darkness 🖤... in the depths of despair 💙... in the depths of hurt💔💔💔... there is , if reaching there, summer 🌞🌞🌞
How beautiful. We are so lucky to have consciousness which is pulled towards these beyond words concepts.
When people’s egos get activated, it all sounds the same. Minds talking to minds. Heads talking to heads, in an endless loop, There is a robotic quality to it, 🤖🤖🤖 “I am right and you are wrong”
Saying 'people's egos' implies that there are people who have egos, whereas in truth, there is only the sense of individual personhood arising
People don't have egos. The idea of being a person is itself ego.
So beautiful! I love this conversation. Without the contrast of Winter the identity could not transcend into the Invincible Summer. Contrast allows us to expand, grow, discover and awaken to our inner being. Thank you!
thank you Eckart for all you do for me and us I m so great full if I did not have your speech I would not know how to survive this all
For me summer means Happiness, warm. So, even in winter, we can be/have/be/stay/feel, the summer inside of us, always :)
-happines, wellbeing, warm feelings, joy, expansion, warm, happines, hot, warm, realization, long days, reborn, all summer means to you :) ♡
I love Camus, he was an awsome philosopher, curios human being and great writer.
Whoever reading this
May all your dreams come true 🤗
This is really nice from you to say Varsha! Thank you very much and all the best to you 🤩
these are nice words
You too❤
In the depth of the winter I finally learned that there is in me, an invisible summer
I love you E.T lol :-) extra-terrestrial -- transcending the world, but still walking the earth. Thank you for all you have given me.
🐣😀
Thanks for the truth about this life
His sound effects and actions really help me learn...they jolt me somehow into a calm alertness.
Tolle is the hero nowadays. Such a precious person. Helped me sooo much with so many problems. Thanks.
A pity there are no subtitles, but I would like to comment that I have always experienced my best moments when alone! Guru Maharaji says that the best friend you have is the one left behind when everyone has gone home! This is very true.
Beth Summers Been experiencing this more and more of late. I thought I have gone introvert or something. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@lizhuynhkenny Hello Liz - yes, it is difficult to start with but necessary to spend more time with you. You get a great deal of understanding about so many things, but do take care to look after yourself too! have plenty of dvds ready, find a hobby that will help your creative side and do persevere! best wishes Beth
Thank you Beth, really appreciate your advice and wisdom. I run my business from home now but feel no guilt about taking time out for me as well. Best wishes and God bless !
Maybe because you rarely get alone so obviously those moments are the best. But some ppl live always alone ...
@@shahilagh I wasn't very clear. I have lived alone for the past thirty years, the last five in total isolation. I am always alone, but as already stated, I prefer it.
Namaste, master Eckhart 🙏🏻💎
I am so glad you are here with all of us. Very comforting, thank you. :)
I feel such love for this man
I couldn't agree more with him. After a year of practice, I'm starting to understand what he's saying.
Eckhard you are so good! Your information you share is just perfect for us all.
Thank you for YOU!
Just so grateful to be able to listen to you. 🤗 Thank you, thank you.
I read The Stranger in high school, all out of my own curiosity. It totally changed my life.
"In the dept of winter I finally learnt that there is in me an invincible summer."
I really love to listen to Eckhart. His expression is so inspiring n graceful.
'You don't need *time* to be yourself. You already are yourself ...'
nice
Good Literature is the best teacher. Dostoevsky, Shakespeare. People should read not just bestsellers but old classics. ☺ Thank you for speaking about this. 💖
"Completion on the level of form is not necessary." Eckhart are you obsessed with the essence identity?" 😂😉😜
💜Thank You for this🙏You are a most Beautiful Soul🧚♀️Much Love💓Light🌟and Gratitude🙇♀️✨😇💫💞☮️
Julie Ann yes!!! 😊🕊
Used to be my favorite quote until I understood the rest of it: “For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger - something better, pushing right back.”
It was always the “pushing back” that exhausted me. Pushing back is resisting, not accepting things as they are. No need for it when you’re still. I’m surprised Eckhart brought it up.
Spring Lemon sorry, what do you mean by “it” and how does it push back and on what?
Yes, I felt very similarly when I read that following sentence. It would feel exhausting, and imply that duality, light against darkness - summer doesn't 'defeat' winter by being stronger, it's all part of how things go.
I suppose Eckhart only quoted one part of the whole thing for a reason, for its beauty - and we don't have to agree to all the sentences Camus wrote there.
Eckhart thankyou I have lived in drudgery for far too long and just realized a moment ago that I must acknowledge your work in my very happy existence sarah
Great message....thank you. This is true...tricky living in this world but living on a different plane ...engaging isn't energetically pleasant with fearful Humans...as you say, the force they speak with that IS aggressive and it is draining ...
I'm 47 and i spent all my life in the "depth of winter". It was depression, suicidal thoughts, it was awful. Summer has finally come, thanks in no small part to this man. When the switch finally turn on and you stop looking at yourself from a 1st person point of view to a 3rd person point of view everything changes. The "IT" don't matter, the "'IT" is not me. Shine that 3rd view perpective spotlight on the ego and it disolves. This is truely amazing.
great
Lonelyness is not a feeling, its a thought. You say l am lonely, thought, then you sense it - feel your lonely. Tackle the belief thought, not the feeling. It will pass. Solitaryness is vital to fall in deep like with yourself. "They that know others is wise, they who know themselves are enlightened" Worth experiencing.
Your words contradict themselves, if loneliness isn't a feeling, then how can you tackle the thought, not a 'feeling'?
This is so true. I do body work and do not talk during a session. It is very easy to experience the essence of that body and our shared awareness, but when I'm out in the world and engaging in daily conversation, it is more difficult. I have reactive energy rise up.

My physical forms short coming is having existential depression that affects the people around me, it seems nigh impossible for "me" to avoid that. All I want is a way out of the cycle of life and death and no matter how much I am in the present moment that will not change. I thank Eckhart for all the wonderful teachings he has given to humans around this world. But I'm afraid that they do not work for me, regardless of my knowledge of an inner eternal summer. I also know that there is an eternal winter within. That is not possible to escape for me.
Reminds me of the book "The Tree that survived Winter" by Mary Fahy
Eckhart's power is presence and what's beyond even presence. The words are good; they are often fine and clarifying - but not central. Jiddhu Krishnamurti spoke similar words, as does Mooji (among other teachers). The teachings (if they may be considered teachings) are quite familiar. They are not new. Countless people may be able to explain the teachings, may say what Eckhart does - yet their words wouldn't resonate with others because they speak only on an intellectual level.
Love you Eckhart.. Thanks for sharing.. God bless..
Thank you, Master.
Yay, Eckhart! You were an inspiration (read one of your books) to me and my young teenage daughter in 2003, when she needed answers. I just heard this/your TH-cam today. I'm glad you're still reaching inside and sharing what you find.
What he said makes so much sense! Thank you E.T. 💕
Thank you Eckhart💛
such a fabulously miraculous talk , so grateful to Eckhart friends and wonderful team for posting this , much love
The 4 agreements .. Be impeccable with your word.Dont take anything personally.Dont make assumptions.Try to do your best. This isn’t always easy so I have it on the fridge to remind me ❤️
it happened on the waking dawn in me this morning and going through chemo overdose and being close to the light it was the 3rd time in my life and i feel complete, even at the foot of the mountain ahead, proof enough again and again, amazing creation touches down and lifts through the mist
perfect timing. thank you
Thank you Eckhart 🙏❤❤
Eckhart Tolle thank you
There is being alone and there is being ALONE.
Thank you! Eckhart Tolle 🌷
Just what I needed to hear my mouth can get me in so much trouble your exactly correct
I have been alone now for five minutes, and I'm beginning to see the light...
Thinking and Awareness cannot arise together. Competition with other minds is worthless.
Winter,Summer.Spring,and Fall....To live, is to be "well seasoned"
Master eckhart thank you . U are a light . Thank u
I love you buddy you've been such a great help in my Ascension and now spiritually coaching in Seattle area thanks again Eckhart
Great wisdom, Thank you Eckhart
If you feel lonely when you are Alone it means you don’t like the company. 🤗. Lol .
I really needed this today. Thank you. Now on to the rest of my Playlist of ET. 💗
The reason why people resort to their ego when they are in an argument with someone based on opinions, is because whatever belief is behind their opinion has an ego attachment. For example "I believe this to be true" and if someone challenges that belief they have to question that maybe what they believe isnt true. When this thought process happens the identity behind the belief is challenged. Because if it was a simple case of changing what you believe, what is the difference from one belief to the next? It has an identity behind it, that the ego has attached to. A common identity is "I am greater than other people based on my own performance" for example if they meditate 10 times a day it signals the ego that they are improving themselves more than other people that dont meditate 10 times a day. In this case the ego has attached a comparison between themselves and other people then attributing actions they perform as "powerful" to its own identity. Essentially they are using performance of a spiritual idea to feel superior against other people. Religious people do this a lot.
The ego will fight to protect this identity because it attributes power to the belief that it has already utilized and if it were to drop/change the belief than all power the belief has built in the ego would be nullified. The ego identity desires self-importance, people that live in their ego desire the same thing, this comes from many fears. Fear of death being the most common. If they have importance in being alive then they believe the universe will keep them alive because they are important. Among many other self-sustaining beliefs. The ego self-perpetuates this identity with people who fear forces that can take identities away from them. Most people have an identity with being alive and if you fear something that can take that identity away, then here comes the ego ready to control that person. Essentially through fear you give up control of your mind to the ego because you dont have the truth. If you dont have an identity, you cannot fear losing it and there will be no ego.
People don't have egos. The idea of being a person is ego. The idea of being a person, who has an ego, is identification with an ego who has an ego, and no one in particular is identified with that.
@@eoghansullivan Sure
Indoctrination brainwashing
One of my fave quotes of all time
A lot of love and peace to you all, just let everything be with a surrending to the present moment include, the only thing that is holding you is ego.
Awe ❤️ thank you ❤️
so interesting, that these shortcomings still exist... and that the peace is within
And I m a knuckle head thanks so much for letting me know I was not the issue but the world and life in it that wears our souls to weekness
thank you for the unhooking
Thank you♥️
thank you. this is so timely
Blessed message
You are a great person
Solitude is earned, not given.
The Power Of Now! The Book puts you On The Trail of no looking Back☯️
🙏🙏 This is what I needed to hear today. 🙏🙏
Wow, I only came across this saying the other day, it moved me so much I wrote it in my diary. But the saying I read from someone just “quoting it” said the invisible summer. Either way I understood the message 🦋🙏🏼🦋
Beautiful
Very beautiful
.thanks so much.
Just because we listen to Eckhart doesn't make us automatically ok with being alone. The reason why we suffer so much when we are alone is because our mothers have not given us enough touch when we were babies. Then as adults we suffer and it's a life time pain. But meditation is still the only path through all of this.
Thank you... 🙏🌅😍
I love you Tolle
