Such simple and straightforward teachings. Absolutely wonderful. Why cant they teach this stuff to kids in schools? What a role model he would be compared to our religions, which have completely gone off track, and the so called "influencers" who spout about looks and money. 😢
I think kids are too young to know this stuff and have to naturally go through their ego's and life's growing pains to reach a certain level of conscious awareness. And most religious followers are nothing like religious leaders. They are good folks who believe in Christ.
For a chuckle see the comment above yours and the responses to it. It truly would transform our world if these simple spiritual truths were taught in school from the earliest age. It's actually discovering sanity vs. the cultural shallowness that blinds us to what really matters.
@@johna5484 I think lots of people connect with animals early in.lifexwhen the adults around are not awakened and can't interact with a child properly so there is nit a secure attachment from a human. My thoughts only here😊xx
It was exactly what I needed to hear. After I awakened part of my consciousness, I began to feel grumpy about my own imperfections and inability to make all aspects of my life conscious. And this was bringing me suffering and impatience towards others too.
It's so heartwarming and hopeful to see so many of us awakening; I know somehow, without any physical evidence, that consciousness is arising in direct proportion to the madness in our world. I smile to myself when I see or hear of horrific events in the world, not because of the event, but because I know the light of consciousness is growing as a natural counter to the darkness (we won't see this on our nightly news stations) It's amazing how a very small amount of light can flood a huge dark area. An image came to me recently of a huge empty stadium. In complete darkness one only has to light a small match, and that light can be seen anywhere in that stadium...whereas if it was flooded with light it becomes extremely difficult to spot the tiniest of dark corners. That physical law is a reflection of how light will always be stronger than the dark, we just have to remind ourselves of this and hold that awareness in the darkest of times. I know we're going to make it; a very turbulent time is approaching, but I for one will keep my candle lit, and I know many other will too :) ☺🙏
I'm deeply touched by your profound words. I can honestly say that I'm in the stage you described. I lose consciousness from time to time. Sometimes I realize it as it emerges. And at other times I get completely lost in compulsive thinking. But in all of this, I deeply know that my consciousness is undergoing an incredible shift.
Only now at age 66 i finally understand how ti be empathic without feeling others pain. Thank you . Last year I got emotional breakdown. After all my life getting drawn into others suffering. After a lot if theraphy and faith in God Im finally where I want to be. May Gid bless you and continue to inspire you❤❤
What a wonderful feeling it is to be free I'm sure. Doing the work is admirable at any age and thank you for raising the vibration for all of us by caring for you 🙏
🌺Dear @joanryan2242-I can relate. It is the most loving experience one can feel, to finally understand the true meaning of life and what love is. Blessings to Elkhart for delivering this message and blessings and congratulations to you for being….this message. Christina 🌟
It was destined that I saw this today. Exercise compassion with wisdom. Or, as he said at the end: don't exercise compassion stupidly, which is what I was considering. Thank you, Eckhart. I've been really struggling with boundaries to my compassion.
Dear Sir Eckhart... My daughter just turned 5 and English is our second language which she is just starting to learn. However, she refuses to go to sleep before I play her the evening's Eckhart Tolle's TH-cam message. I would like to believe that she gets the message that you talk about regardless of the obstacle of language. When the clip is finished, she will simply turn around and go to sleep. Kids are naturally conscious and it is immensely powerful to witness this firsthand. This mother is truly grateful for your true understanding of the only thing that matters... Consciousness.
Even though my ego has been exposed, it keeps showing up over and over again. In recent times the ego wields an incredible force that seem to throw me off balance. It creates insurmountable fear inside me. I feel a high degree of resistance that rises in me. Intuitively, I know the ego feels threatened. And he's trying to use tactics and manipulations to stay alive. But I can sense a smell of death of my ego.
OMG Eckhart thank you so much for this at the exact precise moment that I needed to here. Although I know that this will help countless people pls know that these words were not wasted and I will listen to them again and again. So much love
That's very well put, can relate to that, especially the last 2 mins here, see now at the time it was to some extent fullfilling also a so called " need", a need to be needed , to give some kind of meaning to or a reason for existing or some feeling of belonging but very soon after would feel the others need overwelhming as it became an everyday something else. It's enough just to be here now without been needed or making a difference unless am drawn and feel inspired to do so ( I hope that's what I am listening to, it's hard to know the difference sometimes but there isn't any overwelhment now ) Thanks Eckheart very much for this
Echart thank you this video helped me a lot today. I have a feeling, or maybe it's a voice in my head telling me that something is wrong with me. Compassion has been a part of me since childhood, because I witnessed my father's suffering, he was schizophrenic. But I will be more and more compassionate towards myself.
Nothing that is real ever dies - our personal identity does. Most of us to varying degrees have experienced trauma; commonly in childhood. Having a parent who suffered greatly from mental illness probably insures a degree of trauma. But, as Eckhart teaches, whether we have a "good" self-image or a negative, troubling one, it amounts to an illusory identity. Childhood trauma has plagued me as well, but simple awareness that "little me", as Eckhart calls it, is a mind made construct - arbitrary and empty - has afforded great relief when realized. Suffering tends to obscure the truth, but the truth { like the sun' s warmth } never goes away.
We should always feel compassion towards those who are suffering and if and when the opportunity arises do what we genuinely feel able to do to ease their suffering then of course we should be prepared to help others , but we serve no useful purpose to them or ourselves by joining in their suffering with them. Telling other people how angry and upset we are about their suffering can be seen as our egos actually making other people's suffering all about us and how other peoples suffering causes us to suffer on their behalf. If someone is stuck down a well it does them no good at all for us to join them down the well. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had a bad experience about five years ago (deaths). I ended up with an anxiety disorder. (I am MUCH better now.) I did make a big story/identity in my head about it, and that made it worse. Then I was angry and sad about my mistake. Unfortunately, I need this message - and fortunately you, Mr. Tolle, appeared. This student is ready to learn. Please help me to forgive my many faults. Love to you who read this. You helped me.
I can relate,,,lost 2 people who I was SO SURE WERE MY ROCKS IN LIFE and,of course, FREAKED OUT FOR 2 YEARS,,,BUT,somehow,I KNEW I WAS GOING ON A VERY DEEP PERSONAL JOURNEY,,,,and Found ECKART TOLLE TO BE THE TEACHER THAT WAS HELPING ME WALK AND WAKE......STAY PRESENT....THE PATH IS UP AND DOWN BUT AT LEAST WE'RE MOVING & GROWING UP...❤❤❤
Wonderful thank you, Eckhart, for your teachings. I follow buddhism, and your talks are so helpful in my spiritual journey. Thank you again. Bye Stuart
So helpful. I am an empath and yes, I became a counselor. It is true that I have not been able to have compassion plus wisdom. Working on it. Thank you. ❤
Being in the present moment whilst showing our compassion and deep understanding for somebody who is suffering immensely is the best way to initiate the healing process within the suffering person and yet to know not to let the person become addicted to our attention is the other key factor to be aware of. Thanks for this wise and profound teaching Eckhart.
Thank You! Compassion and Wisdom is to know surely empowering others to be sovereign, know thy self and develop their spiritual presence of God spark within its a co creation of sacred heaven on Earth through the heart space, it is becoming centripetal light forms that glow in the dark! ❤😊
I totally agree it can be frightening to think that we can love from ego and have no capacity or awareness for someone else’s struggle,what ever that maybe.. I think the more we feel and live from our hearts we can change that one at a time love and compassion has no judgment just sheer love and acceptance I love to believe most of us has this quality 🥰🙏
🙏✨Tremendously helpful. VITAL teachings for me. To tell the truth, I don't know what my life would have been like without them. That's how it went. Consciusness always listens! No doubt about it.❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨
I find great peace and listening to you talk for that. I thank you. Through you I believe the world is shipping one person at a time as we connect with the collective compassion that we all share.
Humble prostrations to Eckhart Sir. i believe and almost feel that Eckhart Sir is always with me... as with each of His followers.... as the Consciousness, the Eternal Witness in our hearts. iam now groping in utter darkness, stumbling with painful wounds...to find a strong foundation for my Spiritual Life. Your teachings has always been a great consolation. Seeking Your blessings. 🙏
Wow!! What an adventute ❤❤❤❤ I am from the Republic of ireland and live back here now for 12 yrs an Im learning so so much from you two!❤❤ so excited to be taken along for the ride! What a trip! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
I didn’t answer my phone or call someone back tonight and I realized their suffering was because of their expectations not being met. I understood this as me not causing their suffering. I feel validated in what you’re saying. They accused me of not respecting them. Then some resentment was stirred up inside me and I realized I don’t respect them. Then I asked myself why and how can I get there. Then i did a bunch of healing work writing myself a letter and forgiving myself. Now I know new boundaries must be in place or respect will not be given. It must be earned. I can’t respect someone who doesn’t respect themselves and it’s just not something i’m willing to change. My definition of respect cannot be altered to suit another.
A true friend will accept that sometimes the answer will unfortunately be " I'm sorry but I can't help on this occasion", anyone who can't accept " sorry no I can't" sometimes isn't a true friend and possibly needs to hear the word no more often from you. I know this sounds hard but when a favor becomes an expectation and see as an obligation then no is definitely the right thing to say. A true friend will not hold this against you, and if we are a true friend we won't hold their wish for dependency against them either but simply Accept they have lost sight of the boundaries 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Sir for teaching that sympathy + wisdom should both be applied together to help others. Only empathy could be harmful to a person because they must be aware of those who are showing you pain body and want to get attention. It was a brave spiritual technique. Here almost most of the needy people just like to cash your sympathy. Shakir Baloch Islamabad Pakistan
Be aware if your compassion towards the other is driven by guilt. Forgive oneself must come before. Self compassion must come before one can truly help another ❤
actually when I was a therapist, I was lacking a lot of self love, and felt guilt about many things, but many of the clients thanked me profusely for helping them....I think we can absolutely "love others before loving ourselves", but at a huge cost to ourselves (our human "selves", anyway)....the answer is what Eckhart is talking about---to be in touch with our Real Selves (instead of trying to strengthen the ego of a fictitious self [which most psychology teaches])
i was 49 when i found out I was empathic is much more then a relation with one person but and out of communication with a slu of people at one time and be on the level of love....
Listen to me everyone: we are all restoring the Garden of Eden on the planet by simply filling it with our Light of Consciousness. Time doesn't really matter, but is most important here. We work on this together. This time can simply be shortened thanks to us, by simply shining our Light onto this planet without any agenda ♥️ I believe that soon the Garden of Eden will be restored to this planet.
this was great...I can relate b/c I became a therapist (after spending tons of money and putting in long hours of study) but quit after around 3 yrs of doing that work, because even though I "knew" I shouldn't try to solve people's problems, most of them wanted me to, and I was often deeply concerned about how to help them
It never ceases to shock me how divorced from spiritual reality religious people tend to be. Often the most pious, who speak of "God" with frequency, are entirely disconnected from Being - merely believing in an external anthropomorphic authority figure in the heavens. Institutional spirituality is most often an oxymoron. Conversely, great spiritual teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, or J. Krishnamurti convey profound truth of who we are in a spiritually vacuous, material driven world.
Oh man this hit home. I noticed my energy zapped tonight and that got the wheels turning. I have learned very well how to recharge myself but maybe the recharger will burn out eventually. Changes need to happen.
It's a very good thing to help and be kind to others but we also need to kind to ourselves sometimes, when we simply do have it in us sometimes to help others that's absolutely fine, but in my opinion the trick is, on the days you can't be kind, just don't be unkind 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nancy, I know exactly how you feel.. it has happened that I have genuinely tried to be there for someone and then their expectations of me became constant and daily and I became overwhelmed, angry and resentful.. which probably says more about me than the other person, but this is something I struggle with quite regularly
Thank you for this content. I listen to Eckhart to find peace, and I use these videos as a form of meditation. But, I'm getting ads every three minutes in this video, which is really interrupting the flow of information. Yes, I can use the inconvenience caused by the interruptions to practice being present and practice not allowing it to bother me, but sometimes the ads last for several minutes, and TH-cam will play more than one, or the ads are for snake oil and similar scams, so I have to return to my pc to skip the ads if I want to get back to Eckhart and his message. Please set the videos to play ads less often! I'm 10 minutes into this video with 3 ads already, if the ads continue every 3 minutes, with 17 minutes left to go that's 5 more times I'll have to return to my pc to skip ads, for a total of 8 interruptions to a half hour meditation.
In these times where many are victims of this evil plandemis, I feel guilty at times that I am aware of the evil that runs this world. But in the end, it is the ego that has falsely labeled reality as good or evil and that told me I had control over the actions or decisions of another. I have let go of the resposbility of trying to save other, they can only save themselves. The ego lied and said I had the power.
This be the Father's will: that we live for the sake of the world. We will not attain higher consciousness otherwise. How do we live for the sake of the world? By letting go of everything which stands in our way, and this means especially the belief it is impossible to do so. If Eckhart doesn't teach this his movement will not usher in a New Age.
The way he stares into my soul 😮
Peace and stillness for all. Love from pakistan
Such simple and straightforward teachings. Absolutely wonderful. Why cant they teach this stuff to kids in schools? What a role model he would be compared to our religions, which have completely gone off track, and the so called "influencers" who spout about looks and money. 😢
Because the aim of school is NOT to set the individual free but to enslave them.
Be the change you want to see❤
Parents teach by example so it starts at home 👍
I think kids are too young to know this stuff and have to naturally go through their ego's and life's growing pains to reach a certain level of conscious awareness. And most religious followers are nothing like religious leaders. They are good folks who believe in Christ.

"compassion requires wisdom"🎉
Thank you Mr. Eckhart
so true “ both within and without “
I feel great empathy & compassion for animals!
Why does that seem to be easier ?
@@johna5484 They have no neurotic ego and love unconditionally. So much to learn from them!

Nancy, I know exactly how you feel.. it has happened that I have genuinely tried to be there for someone and then their expectations of me became constant and daily and I became overwhelmed, angry and resentful.. which probably says more about me than the other person, but this is something I struggle with quite regularly
Thank you for this content. I listen to Eckhart to find peace, and I use these videos as a form of meditation. But, I'm getting ads every three minutes in this video, which is really interrupting the flow of information. Yes, I can use the inconvenience caused by the interruptions to practice being present and practice not allowing it to bother me, but sometimes the ads last for several minutes, and TH-cam will play more than one, or the ads are for snake oil and similar scams, so I have to return to my pc to skip the ads if I want to get back to Eckhart and his message. Please set the videos to play ads less often! I'm 10 minutes into this video with 3 ads already, if the ads continue every 3 minutes, with 17 minutes left to go that's 5 more times I'll have to return to my pc to skip ads, for a total of 8 interruptions to a half hour meditation.
In these times where many are victims of this evil plandemis, I feel guilty at times that I am aware of the evil that runs this world. But in the end, it is the ego that has falsely labeled reality as good or evil and that told me I had control over the actions or decisions of another. I have let go of the resposbility of trying to save other, they can only save themselves. The ego lied and said I had the power.

THERE ARE NO SINS. THERE ARE ONLY MISTAKES, DUE TO IGNORANCE.
This be the Father's will: that we live for the sake of the world. We will not attain higher consciousness otherwise. How do we live for the sake of the world? By letting go of everything which stands in our way, and this means especially the belief it is impossible to do so. If Eckhart doesn't teach this his movement will not usher in a New Age.
