I've been practicing what you teach and yesterday my wife and I's argument went from getting bad to us making it ok within 1 HR because we finally see what our minds try to do. Thank you so much Eckhart.
Thanks Eckhart. This helped so much, exactly the guidance I needed today! Grateful for all the Grace you have brought to all of us through all these years! 🙏 Thank you!
🙏Sometimes you lose your way, it's very true, but finding IT again, is a matter of just a moment. Than you're home again.❤ Nothing is more beautiful❤️✨ So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌺
Have patience with presence.. i have lived 30 years with an overthinking mind... Take one day at time.. it wont happen overnight. ♥️ Awakening is a journey afterall. Thank you Eckhart to remind me to never give up. ❤️
How have you learnt to calm yourself when you're in the grip of overthinking? Do you overthinking, because you've got general anxiety and a need to control, because you grew up in a chaotic household or something?
from experience i believe that overthinking is a protection. it covers up somethinv we dont want to deal with. overthinking might be painful but still less painful than what we buried so deep, at least its what we believe so it keeps happening. its not a fun ride to deal with that but the payoff is better than winning any lottery, a quiet mind is something I truly wish for everyone ❤❤
@@umeleijon9279 Yes! A quiet mind is such a peaceful place. What I love is to keep this mind, in public and whenever there's action - not just passively while I'm meditating. Everything is a meditation now
@@UnderstandingEmotionsYT First when the thoughts try to pull me in i start to put my attention to my breath and then sense perceptions.. then the thoughts become under control and i mediate minimum once a day and takes daily walks in nature. The progress is big. I think my reason for overthinking was a sense of "control" yes.. is was my comfort zone.. UNTIL it got to the point i developed OCD in the end so at first i "controlled* the thoughts and then they started to tell me to do horrible things.. i thought i was becoming a psychopath.. and i thought i heard voices but all was my obsessive thoughts.. thanks to Eckhart i now know that we are NOT our thoughts.. thank god. It got so bad that i ran to the mental hospital at some point and they tried to put me on meds but my intuition told be that this is not right.. there is another way. ♥️
@@umeleijon9279 Yes. At first oi actually "loved" my overthinking.. it was my safe zone.. wierd i know. But then it turned on me and got OCD... So from becoming my comfort to complete nightmare. But thanks to Eckhart.. my mind i healing. 🌹
I really needed to hear this.. The other day I had an amazing day of presence, but yesterday my obsessive thoughts came back with a vengeance. I kept slipping in and out of awareness, struggling to keep hold. Your analogy of parasites really rings true for me. I will focus more of breathing and body sensations to get me through. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻
When I catch myself beginning to struggle with my thoughts and feelings again as I have in the past, I simply remind myself "this is an opportunity to do things differently this time", which immediately brings me back into a place of conscious awareness rather than becoming completely overwhelmed by unhappy and unhelpful thoughts and feelings as before 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So this would be a sort of attitude over matter, if I understand correctly. I meditate to reduce stress, anxiety, noise etc, it's just tough to focus as I could before. Benzos can do that to you. It is what it is, life's not personal!
Cluless02@@Cluless02hi, I personally would describe it as an awareness and acceptance of what created and maintained my precious suffering and consciously choosing not to make the same unconscious mistakes again. It's always worth knowing and acknowledging that a simple lapse does not equal a total relapse and we are all each and everyone of us, a work in progress 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Vielen Dank, lieber EckhartTolle für diese praktischen Anleitungen. Der Parasitenvergleich ist einfach herrlich und leicht zu merken. Nochmals Dankeschön aus Deutschland.
This is so helpful. Thank you soooo much, Eckhart. I’m so grateful for your presence in my life via your books, your You Tube videos, like this one, and I listen so often at night, to your books on audible and your podcast channel. You have been an everpresent and most loving part of my life for many years, and more recently my husband has begun to listen to these, with much interest and it really is now helping and guiding him too. We love you, Eckhart. 💜🙏💜🙏
I also love Tolles books, but I gotta say, it was from the repeatedly listening & watching of his yt videos that I first noticed being aware of the destruction (the suffering that I can actually physically feel) created solely by negative thoughts/ the voice(s) in my head (& the accompanying mental imageries/intrusive thoughts) just being aware, one time at a time, feeling the presence is all that's needed, & thoughts begin to lose their hold, every time we wake up, to "presence" even for just a minute, we _experience first hand_ that we no longer need to fight & struggle with ghosts from the past or imagined worries of an imagined "future", & these moments can grow & deepen, as the distractions weaken, truly a blessing, no longer having to be "lost" in anxious day-dreaming or nightmare scenarios..
Your thoughts are what you give them. So we shouldn't feed them . That is what I hear you say. Right? Thank God for you Eckhart, you have helped me save myself from my runaway thoughts.
Yeah, these mental parasites are like echoes of trapped emotion. If you were to move your attention from the thought to your chest, you can find that thought core energy source - the emotion which talks. Then you can purge that little demon lol Have you tried doing that? Purging?
Eckhart I have loved your work for decades now. Thank you for offering this dialogue and opportunity for us here on youtube as well. A powerful reminder this discussion is❤
While listening to this, my mind asked me, If finally is some truth in the concept, that GOD is a wise old human being.....anyway ..😂thank GOD for Eckhart ! 🙏His wisdom changed my world ! ❤
Very good point, the mind becomes a drug when overactive, and possibly, when over-reactive to it's snares, it holds the speciality of drug addiction (not a good thing!, just a relation to the mind-drug addiction is imo) so ye I definetly agree with that comment.
These things are natural ..In today s world hardly we get people who understand you and not got trapped .. Definitely there will be a day when you will say That you are different what we thought about you ..
My experience is that because of the force of habit I often find myself in a stream of thinking but I am conscious of it and consequently I am not lost in it; and surely that means progress in the process of awakening
Hi, I would say that is a definite sign of genuine progress. When I catch myself caught up in a steady stream of thoughts and unconscious thinking I just remind myself that " my mind is talking I'm merely aware of it's words". This helps me put conscious distance between my mind and my true self 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have a question about the energies of fear in the body. The other day I was followed by the cops while I was walking upstate. Pretty desolate here so it felt like a horror film. I was present. I was aware. And I made it back to the cabin safely. However for the next 24 hours I could not stop shaking because of the fear that was trapped in my body. I kept thinking I’m of the worst case scenarios. And I ended up eventually. Crying and raging it all out. I still was in awareness but my body definitely needed to process this way and I’d be afraid of spiritually bypassing if I didn’t. I have practiced non duality for years now and sometimes I find that the body actually does need to break down in a sense to become present and peaceful again.
Some are positive and some are totally leave me alone in negativity...which Make me upset my mind unnecessarly why they are like this. .If I stay alone my thoughts remain positive ...That's why I want to remain alone so that I can do what's good for me and for what we are here ...
I was riding weeks of conscious awareness and had such an abrupt and extremely aggressive argument with my ex-wife that I found myself wondering where I had gone for days before I found myself awake again
Hi I don't believe we can direct our thoughts because thoughts are self arising and are produced by our minds over which we have no control of . What we think about on the other hand is something is up to us, but only once we get to know and truly understand the difference between thought and thinking, in my opinion accepting the difference between thought and thinking is very much a, game changer 🙏🙏🙏🙏
A quasi, deterministic principle rests on "thoughts" which are incumbent on an "emotional stream" , filtered, retracted, and re distributed by the uncertainty of a binary flux. The correlation between an ontological presence of what is "thought" , exists, as such presents a bi conditional transitory state of what we "feel." The barrier distinguishing "thought" and "emotion" lures a detached sequence in order to formulate rational, lucid discourse as opposed to spurious rhetoric flourishing with dogma. The essence of intellectual virtue through a cohesive neural pattern must ascertain "intrinsic value." This begs the question: Do you control your mind or does your mind have control over you? Sensational Video Professor Eckhart!
@@SueCarr-q8n Don’t fret! Once the sacrifice is made to God for all of humanity and your species is given the resurrection, everything will make sense. Always bear in mind you are living in a simulated world inside a simulated universe with Alien Beings. I suggest you watch twilight zone: season 3: episode 32 titled “ The Gift.”
Thoughts are like butterflies, they come and go fluttering “hither and yon” …let them land and acknowledge them, some are worth nurturing and some are not but let them fly off again, don’t cling onto them just let them go. The more you do this the easier it gets.
Dearest Eckhart, the most beautiful thing in life is to cultivate and pursue the divinity and presence within and without. Everything else in life becomes different, benovelont. Yes, we have a choice in every moment. Choosing the most beautiful thoughts from the heart and mind, eventually it will be more effortless. It's important to still have joy and fun in everything. If this was not true, why the omniscient consciousness created all there is ??? Out of pure joy and delight. 🎉❤😂
I wonder how Tolle explains the connection between thoughts and feelings because many times I just feel bad and that I can’t take it anymore with no thoughts attached to the feeling
Ekart, what causes obsessive compulsive thinking or hypervigilence? Those same repetitive thoughts or compulsive behaviours that keep replaying like a broken record?
Thank you for a great video! It is really helpful and practical. Thank you. I have a question though because there is something I don't understand: my thoughts can be negative, I agree, but sometimes those negative thoughts push me to take action to improve my life, e.g. I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about my health, so the next day I am motivated to go to gym, etc. So I am a little perplexed: I don't know if "not thinking" is another way of just saying "ignore your problems and it will go away". Any thoughts?❤
It can also feels like a need for taking action, and as such the thoughts might be trying to make you realize that. Or is every real and true answer only ever to reveal itself from complete silence, and body/breathing awareness? No matter the state of consciousness (so far😊) I am having a hard time accepting (in silence) that my teen-age son almost never manage to get up in the morning, in time to get to school on time. I know that my mind is an expert in magnifying any unwanted moments, but I cannot just sit in silence and be chanting “Tiiiiime iiiiiiss aaaan iiiiiiluuuuuusiiiiioooonn , Ohhm”. It is like saying “within 50 years, I might think my son has learned to get up in time”. and btw hope for any employer to respond “ Come, when yooooooouu aaaaare reeeeaaaaadddyyyy, Ohhm”. It is easy for me to sit in my room, alone and not think (because it is not needed) until it is half and hour since I last said to my son that he should get up…… which is now…
Well time IS an illusion, and my statement above has nothing to do with not coping with daily matters in the world of “time”. But hope to experience that the sum of meditation “I have practiced” is going to make a difference in my life. Theres a gap between beeing silent in a room of stillness - , and then talking to anyone, anywhere, anytime about anything….. There is the daily challenge right there, in your face. All those situations in daily life, constantly calling for actions. The way in which we take actions may need adjustment, and consciousness must be better than no consciousness. But I see no significant change. Oh, Btw. my son got late…… again…..
8:07 momen sadar bahwa kita sedang tidak sadar memunculkan element of choice (kesadaran). ketidaksadaran tidak bisa memunculkan element of choice. 9:30 element of choices muncul saat melihat pikiran sebagai "what happening to me" bukan sebagai diri sendiri seutuhnya. 9:47 momen saat menyadari bahwa sedang tidak sadar adalah awal kesadaran dan kita bukanlah "what happening to me", kita punya pilihan. saat sadar sedang tidak sadar, jangkarkan perhatian pada sesuatu agar tidak kembali pada ketidaksadaran. jadi saat punya pilihan, pilih untuk menyadari inner body (misalnya) daripada terbawa ketidaksadaran
Thank You Eckhart, I Love the way you describe the difference between Awareness/Consciousness and Thoughts. Thoughts keep showing up and we have a choice to feed them or let them go. Through mindful meditation, I am learning to see the choice more quickly and not feed unproductive thoughts. It's very helpful in many situations. :>)
No question, Eckhart Tolle has given us much, his thoughts on the power of now and of a higher level of consciousness and being are invaluable. However, he doesn't understand how the mind works. "Consciousness" is in a quiet state, seeing what is, the mind is in a state of wonder. The mind is composed of clear thoughts and confused thoughts. Eckhart is aware of the confused part and doesn't realize that Jesus communicated with God mind to mind, with clear, and true thoughts.
Here’s the trap I fall into sometimes when I’m realizing it: 1) I’m meditating and thoughts 💭 come up but not destructively. They sometimes feel like surface thoughts that need to be purged before going deeper into meditation (similar experiences to psychedelics). However sometimes that works and other times though the thought anchors itself and leads to a domino effect of other thoughts. 2) It’s late at night and I’m lying in bed and know that I can’t take any actions on those thoughts anyway but that process acts like a caffeine boost that makes it harder to settle down and go to sleep. In either case awareness is key, but it is a self imposed mental trap.
I love to be in the present, but I find being in the present slows me down when doing tight deadline stuff. So I do try and come back to the present afterwards, but I find it is impossible to do them at the same time.
Is it always my own decision whether I choose consciousness or unconsciousness in any given moment? Do we only always get the challenges we have to power to deal with?
I have read n watched all your books and videos but still my mind is very irritative and non stop chanting visuls most of the time ..which limits my attention quantity and performance in life.. Anyone or Eckhart could you help me more deeply pls..
Love your talks but your audio is difficult to hear as the room is an echo chamber and may a better microphone would help. The room your in isn't conducive for recordings ..But I do try my best to understand. 😊
The sound of a bell at the beggining is always too loud in comparision to the recording. Always I need to turn the sound down at the beggining and when Eckhart starts talking make it much louder again. Thanks
@@monsunkrolik haha then turn it down or just skip it over wish u a sweet day and night blessings to dear u thanks good to talk in this way💕🦋💕🌸🌈🌷🌷🫐🌺🌺💕💕💎🐉🫐💎🦋🦋💕🌸🦋🌺
I would say being consciously aware is very much like listening without feeling the need to talk, while thinking is like talking and stating your opinion 🙏🙏🙏🙏
God is not dead, man is. The abstract eye has never been able to draw a line around man and show him as a fixed unit unto himself. Adumbration is impossible both externally and internally. What is it of us that not only knows this to be the case, but is also cool with it? The systemic eye is replete with a set of a’ priori modes. The modes allow us to enter all fields of thought and systemise our positions. We systemise and we synthesise. We can’t synthesise our position as human. I don’t believe in the fairy tale version of God but that doesn’t mean the story ends there. I find it odd that a species that hasn’t found its own ontological footing is writing off the notion of God in an absolute way. God for me is an eye passing through the body conduit to reach its own end. God is predetermined to become whole again. Who knows, eh? I do know we have a lot more homework to do before we make any absolute statements either way. We are not our egos. We are the system mic eye and until we know more we should keep our minds open.
The sweet meditative state comes and goes. And it will subside in longer and longer time and more and more often as we get used to it and familiar with it❤❤❤❤❤❤ the sweetness nectar from god juices flowers 🌸 🦋💎💕🦩🦩🌷👧🏻🐲❤️💗🌈🌈🫐💗🌺🌺💎🌺🌺🦋💎💕🐲💕🐉🐲🦩💕🦢🥰

So true that when we go to nature the talk in the head get smaller and awareness increases.

The choice to remove attention from mind feels just like overcoming an addictive impulse! Mental sobriety and clarity or dreamy intoxication 🤔
Addiction is not an impulse, it's a habit of living at someone else's expense.

8:07 momen sadar bahwa kita sedang tidak sadar memunculkan element of choice (kesadaran). ketidaksadaran tidak bisa memunculkan element of choice. 9:30 element of choices muncul saat melihat pikiran sebagai "what happening to me" bukan sebagai diri sendiri seutuhnya. 9:47 momen saat menyadari bahwa sedang tidak sadar adalah awal kesadaran dan kita bukanlah "what happening to me", kita punya pilihan. saat sadar sedang tidak sadar, jangkarkan perhatian pada sesuatu agar tidak kembali pada ketidaksadaran. jadi saat punya pilihan, pilih untuk menyadari inner body (misalnya) daripada terbawa ketidaksadaran

Beloved arkangel.
Thank You Eckhart, I Love the way you describe the difference between Awareness/Consciousness and Thoughts. Thoughts keep showing up and we have a choice to feed them or let them go. Through mindful meditation, I am learning to see the choice more quickly and not feed unproductive thoughts. It's very helpful in many situations. :>)
nice and shiny ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I made up a song to my Self about ego that I sing when I get lost.
Sounds good 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
No question, Eckhart Tolle has given us much, his thoughts on the power of now and of a higher level of consciousness and being are invaluable. However, he doesn't understand how the mind works. "Consciousness" is in a quiet state, seeing what is, the mind is in a state of wonder. The mind is composed of clear thoughts and confused thoughts. Eckhart is aware of the confused part and doesn't realize that Jesus communicated with God mind to mind, with clear, and true thoughts.

Here’s the trap I fall into sometimes when I’m realizing it:
1) I’m meditating and thoughts 💭 come up but not destructively. They sometimes feel like surface thoughts that need to be purged before going deeper into meditation (similar experiences to psychedelics). However sometimes that works and other times though the thought anchors itself and leads to a domino effect of other thoughts.
2) It’s late at night and I’m lying in bed and know that I can’t take any actions on those thoughts anyway but that process acts like a caffeine boost that makes it harder to settle down and go to sleep.
In either case awareness is key, but it is a self imposed mental trap.
I love to be in the present, but I find being in the present slows me down when doing tight deadline stuff. So I do try and come back to the present afterwards, but I find it is impossible to do them at the same time.
감사합니다 사랑합니다 선생님 🙏 🌎 🩵
I find it hard to be aware that I'm lost in thought whilst I'm lost.
Is it always my own decision whether I choose consciousness or unconsciousness in any given moment? Do we only always get the challenges we have to power to deal with?
It's totally your choice including the challenges.
I have read n watched all your books and videos but still my mind is very irritative and non stop chanting visuls most of the time ..which limits my attention quantity and performance in life..
Anyone or Eckhart could you help me more deeply pls..
Don`t think. Just buy my merch.
You can`t say it doesn`t work.
Is that painting a Chagall?
Yup!
Hello is the inner body physical or mental
Love your talks but your audio is difficult to hear as the room is an echo chamber and may a better microphone would help. The room your in isn't conducive for recordings ..But I do try my best to understand. 😊
The sound of a bell at the beggining is always too loud in comparision to the recording. Always I need to turn the sound down at the beggining and when Eckhart starts talking make it much louder again. Thanks
The bell sound is to be loud to awaken you out of your mind thought all of a sudden. Haha. ❤❤❤🦋💕🦋🌺🌸👧🏻👧🏻🐉🐉💗💎🐲💎💎🌈🦩
@@LynnLynn-ve8olFor sure, i get it, but it's too loud anyway
@@monsunkrolik haha then turn it down or just skip it over wish u a sweet day and night blessings to dear u thanks good to talk in this way💕🦋💕🌸🌈🌷🌷🫐🌺🌺💕💕💎🐉🫐💎🦋🦋💕🌸🦋🌺
I believe he does it on purpose
@@mitsuha4788 and I believe Eckhart doesnt do it by himself! My comments intention was only improvement, feedback :)
Isn't being aware, thinking?
I would say being consciously aware is very much like listening without feeling the need to talk, while thinking is like talking and stating your opinion 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@johngreen4683 Thanx.
God does not exist in your thoughts
God is not dead, man is. The abstract eye has never been able to draw a line around man and show him as a fixed unit unto himself. Adumbration is impossible both externally and internally. What is it of us that not only knows this to be the case, but is also cool with it?
The systemic eye is replete with a set of a’ priori modes. The modes allow us to enter all fields of thought and systemise our positions. We systemise and we synthesise. We can’t synthesise our position as human.
I don’t believe in the fairy tale version of God but that doesn’t mean the story ends there. I find it odd that a species that hasn’t found its own ontological footing is writing off the notion of God in an absolute way.
God for me is an eye passing through the body conduit to reach its own end. God is predetermined to become whole again. Who knows, eh? I do know we have a lot more homework to do before we make any absolute statements either way.
We are not our egos. We are the system mic eye and until we know more we should keep our minds open.
The sweet meditative state comes and goes. And it will subside in longer and longer time and more and more often as we get used to it and familiar with it❤❤❤❤❤❤ the sweetness nectar from god juices flowers 🌸 🦋💎💕🦩🦩🌷👧🏻🐲❤️💗🌈🌈🫐💗🌺🌺💎🌺🌺🦋💎💕🐲💕🐉🐲🦩💕🦢🥰
