I understand exactly. My mother left me when I was four years old. I accepted it. I still feel the same. She was a human being. That’s what I learned. Not just a mother. But a person in herself.
Having compassion for your parents as you would any other person presenting their patterned fears and attitudes helps so much. Thankfully, I eventually learned how to do that years before my mum died - to see my mum as hampered by her own material which she hadn't either chosen to heal, or her conditioning made the options presented for healing unpalatable to her. I could hear and see her as a wonderful woman trapped by her past. I offered her my attention, my care and drew on my own knowledge that parents are not all-knowing Gods!! 😅 I also am a mother, I have times of presentness and rationality, and times, when triggered, when my patterns might play. It hurts to be judged for my patterns, for which I am not to blame. However, it is my responsibility to heal. And so it is for every generation, perhaps, to heal the multi-generational muddles and bring all into the light. With love to all and thanks to Eckhart. Kxxx
my takeaway on this is about setting expectation, seeking validation, and things that we think we can control but we can't - making others to understand our point. these will lead us to another cycle of suffering in ourselves. thank you again Eckhart for the reminder to stay present, mindful and be compassionate with ourselves, everyone, everything around us
These are the smartest,wise and true words about family relationships I have ever heard in my life. Don't judge your parents, anyway they don't deserve it. Compassion saves the world❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨🌠 ✨🌺
Absolutely agree…there seems to be a fashion to psychoanalyse our parents and give them a diagnosis of narcissism or ???? It’s really unfair and making young people more unhappy in my opinion. There needs to be less judgement and more acceptance. Parenting is the hardest job to do right so cut your parents some slack and you’ll feel happier.
This advice helped me with my relationship ( lack there of)with my mother. She past away at 96. Without this healing mindset ,I would have never been able to go through this.I kept Eckhart’s teaching close to my heart before and after the visits. I accepted her conditioning and suffered less in her criticisms. I let her go in compassion and acceptance. May they all rest in peace.
I'm glad you had a realization that your mother's conditioned mind wasn't going to change. Compassion and love is the only way to set you free from the mindset of the past.. Eckhart teachings are healing.. God bless you on the rest of your journey 💕
I was working in a factory in my early 20's and feeling badly about it, then one day out of the blue I thought to myself, "focus on what you have instead of on what you don't have", and the cloud was lifted for a while, until I shared this pearl of wisdom with my mother who responded, "bah, I don't believe that!".
& her mother or father probably told her the same type of isht ? i know that my moms mom, my gramma, treated me with love & patience as a grandson, but towards my mom it was like her mother had a target/trash can for all of her disappointments, resentments & anger (pain-body).
I totally get it. I sought (still seek) any acceptance and validation from my mother and she will always find a way to IMPOSE her belief. I am trying to see her conditioned mind as not her fault and have compassion. I can only do my part which is work on my part which is MY belief that it “SHOULD” be another way. ❤
Took me a long time to stop worrying and feeling hurt about the things my mum used to say to me. But now, I enjoy her and her qualities outweigh her faults…they always did…I just wasn’t seeing it. This seeing has given me back so much joy & love for her and myself. I think she feels loved and accepted. It’s been a revelation and feels easy to give & receive love
Same with me - but actually for relationship to my husband! I fell into the trap the other day and once again started to justify my way of life ! I became more and more angry about his lack of understanding and shouted at him ! After the argument he left me convinced that I was an aggressive person... .the entire conversation was a waste of time..... 😂
When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening. When they said that she was isolating, she was healing. When they said she was acting funny, she was growing. When they said that she had changed, she was evolving. When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within. When they said he was becoming distant, he was learning to trust himself. When they said he was losing touch, he was finding his inner voice. When they said he was being stubborn, he was asserting his boundaries. When they said he was aloof, he was finding solitude and serenity. When they said he was being unrealistic, he was dreaming bigger.

My mother taught me a lot, still teaching me today. To stay present no matter what. She was not a good mother, she still isn’t but I accept her the way she is. What helped me was seeing that it had actually not come from her, it come from before her and before my grandmother. I can’t pin point when it started but it helped me realise that if I was to hate my mother for how I was raised or how she is, the cycle would just keep on going. I always have to remember to stay out of my head when I’m around her or when she comes to mind.

What is a good enough mother? These roles are ego constructs, designed as impossible ideals against which we compare ourselves and always feel Guilty...The ego's purpose is Guilt. As long as our mind feels guilt we can't remember Who we really Are. 😂
@@trevelinadelmar4534 one that doesn’t beat, gas light, criticise, manipulate and lie. I am an a extension of her, just a branch off the tree. With the same dis - ease she has. I fully understand societal role playing. I also understand the “cutting people out” I choose not to, my mother cut my grandmother out, my grand mother cut my grt grand mother out. I’d rather!! Use her to become more fully conscious while in her presence, then maybe my consciousness in time just might give my mother a sense of peace she’s never felt.
I made some really big changes at 46 and oh my gosh I needed my mum more than ever. I have been so depressed and mum's cruelty to myself and my children really shocked us. Been really tough.
Great teaching! Sometimes it's necessary to go no contact with a parent because they will actually try and sabatoge aspects of your life to fulfill their projections of who you should be. Also, a parent can become physical, trying to make you fulfill their projections about who you "need" to be.
This is gold, Eckhart! I love my mother dearly, she understands me as her son, but not so me as a grown man. That doesn’t mean that I love her any less. Certainly not! Your note saying that my mother would hope that I should be “successful”, as in _financially_ successful, especially for any woman in my life, is exactly on point! I have needed to learn that I don’t need my mother to understand me. I accept my mother’s view of her world, but I disagree with her ideology for me. Since I have moved on from that, I have lifted that burden that you indicate and have come to rest, that we can “agree to disagree”, and our relationship - which hasn’t been _that_ bad by the way - has got a better. ❤
This video comes in time for so many of us as holidays approaching. There’s always someone we can relate to with the person who asked the question. Eckhart explained it so well, it guides us how to jump out of our mind, and not to be conditioned like the other person. Thank you so much for your teaching. Gratefully ~ 💕
Yes... There are burdens there in these relationships... Thank you Tolle. You know, one thing I'm contemplating on is the shared nature of these things, or "shared unconsciousness". Like you mention, it can happen, that you make unconsciousness stronger between you. There's a step in Steps to Knowledge that says "nothing has ever been created alone, even in your mind." It's a new viewpoint I haven't been able to grasp yet, but feels very true... That everything is a result of relationship...
I need to bring more Presence into my relationship with my Mom. Personally I’m up for change, finally. Used to get trigger by not being understood. But gratitude, awareness, and so much more helped me.
Every time I see his video, it's the perfect video for now, it gives me an idea of how to deal with close people who are not used to living in the here and now👌🙂
I appreciate that the universe intervened with the algorithm to present me with this video the day after Thanksgiving. 😂. And not because of my mother if not because some family members make us react irremediably. I who thought I was close to enlightenment yesterday checked that with some theme I have not moved an inch 😂.
Be in a state of gratefulness and presence because that Mother you love and suffer with / without will be gone one day too soon. Miss my Momma every day but so happy to have had the time with her when I did, even in her most criticizing days. Her unawareness made me more aware and less defensive because what's the point? It's just Mom being Mom and don't internalize her ego and outer thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving all & thank you so much for this video!
Well put. It doesn’t mean that you stay around narcissistic parents, siblings, people for too long. This is extremely wearing. You have to play this “game”, you can’t be your true self. All you are doing is acting. You are then yes being authentic but , not interacting, and you will really feel isolated. Occasional visits yes longer term no. To interact with narcissistic types is useless. Remember they probe to get a reaction to feed their ego. The only way they know how to get food ( energy)
I am so grateful to see my mind is full of programs and others are too... lm so blessed to still have my mama and papa around ... lm 51 yrs old awakening now . Thank Goodness Oceans have waves and always will ..big or small Just like the brain continues movement we just allow that to pass the brain is a huge storage unit. Thank you all for my experiences Xo 🤗
🤣"If you think you are enlightned spend two weeks with your parents." 🤣 OMG I live with both my parents at 43!😲😫😂 I knew I was on the right path to enlightment!🤣🌱🧚🏻♀️🙏
I think my now 23 year relationship with my partner (wife) was "the straw that broke the camel's back". Disapproval and judgement was met on all sides from both siblings and parents. Yet the family must go on! (Despite the more apparent problems that were never truly recognized such as alcoholism and infidelity). What it came down to in the end was the limitations and limiting beliefs that existed in my parents and still exist in my siblings. It is sad. We don't talk to each other anymore--only recognizing our various birthdays. But through self study and listening to helpful people like Eckhart, I realize that I am who I am, and they are who they are--and that's just the way it's going to be.
This is VERY relevant for me also.. Very similar situation with my parents. More my father, but affected relationship even more EXTREMELY than this person. Been trying to do as advised here tbh as we didn't speak for last 4 years until this year. Similar age as this person also. This must be more common than I thought..
Powerful information. I will be rewatching. And not just for parental relationships but other family AND for the part I play. I say that I have "quiet quit" my family. In US: " Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. " That's where I am... no estrangement but minimal interaction and that at my discretion and convenience. So far, I do not have guilt, etc. for my choice. As far as my mother, I told her that she only had to call and I would collect her to help her move wherever she wanted (there is a step-father situation). I am at peace with my decision(s) but am also reviewing my own conduct!
Thank you, brother and the team. I believe it is time for the final teaching. Can you answer the hard question of consciousness. Namely, how you or I can do the things we appear to be able to do. Not just externally, of course, but also internally. The question has been answered, but no one until now has bothered to put the pieces together. It is answered quite beautifully by the amalgamation of science, spirituality and religion. Ramanamma Who? Author and 21st-century prophet is the vessel through which the answer is being given to (fake) humanity. Love and Wisdom to you and your families. RW ❤️ 🙏
Re-evaluation co-counselling (RC) has been around since the 1950s. An observation of how patterned behaviour is formed, how the influence of the patterns can be identified and healed through the discharge process (laughing, crying, shaking and more). In the RC community we learn not to identify the person with their patterns (no matter who they are) but to recognise behaviours coming out of patterned behaviour - which is unhealed pain. We learn how to help each other to heal those patterns. It certainly has helped see all people, including family, as the humans they are within the context of their societal, cultural and family patterned influences. It's a global activity and community for which I am very grateful. kxx
10:10 Yes I do believe in miracles today, thank you, thank you and thank you for it is an honor to be one with you and being in your presence. How can it get better than this? I am very grateful for all of my blessings 🙏, thank you. So much love and so it is namaste
I guess I have not reached the level of enlightenment, but I agreed. I respect him for his calm, forgiveness,kindness, but I was watching a video of his about family betrayal and I noticed he keeps using the word “unconsciously” when they did it… etc.. and the audience kept on laughing in agreement. But I do feel like that is like giving them a pass for all their terrible behaviors, and not holding them accountable for their actions.
Way to respond to a Narcissist as per Psychologist Dr Ramani (and tried and tested): the DEEP technique: DONT DEFEND DONT ENGAGE DONT EXPLAIN DONT PERSONALISE Do NOT expect Narcissists to “change”. They do NOT change.
You can take this one step further and agree with the person who critisices you. Quite often the total lack of pushback makes them go into such extreme positions that even they realise they are talking nonsense.
To survive our childhood we couldn’t be our authentic self. It was not safe to be this. So we used our ego defences to survive. False selves etc. Far from being angry about these “ protectors” we should thank them for helping us get through this . As we integrate our shadows, feel our pain, we can come off these defences. Their neural pathways have forged “ skills” or “talents” that we can use with Awarness. If we shift our thinking to “ I am consciousness without addressing our “wounds” “ we may miss the necessary healing that we have to do to integrate our shadow parts.
Being angry means having an expectation. But it makes sense to expect our mind act in our best interest! I get so frustrated that it keeps steering me wrong. But that ego saved us when we were creatures just trying to survive, so it is there for a reason. Acknowledge it , observe it, and remember it is not you. But I get sick of that fight!
This is what is happening to me with my grandmother and the rest of my family My mother is the best of them all but she still has issues. My girlfriend showed this to me and I'm hoping that I can use it to learn a little bit
That‘s so true! My parents are my greatest teachers ever! 😅🫶 But I‘ve learned to accept them! Since I can sense their conditioning I can understand their acting! 😇🙏
The closest to us seem to test our own limits but we are not alone we interact with others on so many different levels. We create the perception of a separation between us and them. There is no us and them and after all we are only ordinary beings…. I stole from PF but it’s true. We create and destroy.
I can understand that in such trying circumstances, there is an impulse to just 'let it all wash over you' and pay no heed to the parent - and that can make things more bearable. But it does not mean that the situation is not a tragedy. The solution presented is not ideal. Surely there is a way for both parties to agree that they are different and that's okay but still find some fundamental value in and respect for the other?
It’s so hard to stay present with my mom and allow her to talk when she is constantly questioning me. I don’t always know how to answer. She is extremely wounded so her questions come from her wounded inner child.
...minha mãe era assim. "já vai né? é só 'batendo perna,' não pára mais em casa, parece que está adivinhando ' passarinho verde', depois não vai dizer que não te avisei, ( virava as costas e saía, e no mesmo momento: voltava) é isso mesmo, e tem mais heim" ...e lá ia ela por aí à fora...
Yes... But how can you keep your love and dedication and respect when your mother keeps bullying you? How can you keep your balance and inner peace when she's alternatively a nice person and a bad, evil person? I have to stay with her, for a while, and I am exhausted by her every day changes 😢
You need to chose your boundaries. If it still hurts create a distance where you can live with it. Respect your Self. Without guilt. You are not here to please your parents
What still happens to me sometimes is that when I do or say something and the person understands it in a different way, I mean that they can't see or feel the intention behind what I say or do and they misinterpret it. I still feel the need to give explanations or defend my point of view to clarify my intention because it was evidently misinterpreted. Should I let people stick with the interpretation they gave it? Or should I give explanations to clarify from what intention I did or said something? It happens to me with injustices, whether with me or with other people. I fully understand that it comes from the Ego and that we should not feed the Ego nor fight the Egos, but then is it correct to let them remain with a misinterpretation of the intention behind the facts? Thank you.

Thank you
Love this. Thank you Eckhardt! 🤍

Thank you so much it's so helpful
Powerful information. I will be rewatching. And not just for parental relationships but other family AND for the part I play.
I say that I have "quiet quit" my family. In US: " Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. "
That's where I am... no estrangement but minimal interaction and that at my discretion and convenience.
So far, I do not have guilt, etc. for my choice. As far as my mother, I told her that she only had to call and I would collect her to help her move wherever she wanted (there is a step-father situation). I am at peace with my decision(s) but am also reviewing my own conduct!
Beautiful video ❤
I Love You Eckhart. ♥️🙏☮️
This is so so true. This is my sister to a T. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you for your support.
...." occasionally you could see her being shining through her eyes, when she stopped talking .".....😅...I can relate to that
Gratitude
Thank you, brother and the team. I believe it is time for the final teaching. Can you answer the hard question of consciousness. Namely, how you or I can do the things we appear to be able to do. Not just externally, of course, but also internally. The question has been answered, but no one until now has bothered to put the pieces together. It is answered quite beautifully by the amalgamation of science, spirituality and religion. Ramanamma Who? Author and 21st-century prophet is the vessel through which the answer is being given to (fake) humanity. Love and Wisdom to you and your families. RW ❤️ 🙏
Thank you so much.❤
Re-evaluation co-counselling (RC) has been around since the 1950s. An observation of how patterned behaviour is formed, how the influence of the patterns can be identified and healed through the discharge process (laughing, crying, shaking and more). In the RC community we learn not to identify the person with their patterns (no matter who they are) but to recognise behaviours coming out of patterned behaviour - which is unhealed pain. We learn how to help each other to heal those patterns. It certainly has helped see all people, including family, as the humans they are within the context of their societal, cultural and family patterned influences. It's a global activity and community for which I am very grateful. kxx
10:10 Yes I do believe in miracles today, thank you, thank you and thank you for it is an honor to be one with you and being in your presence. How can it get better than this? I am very grateful for all of my blessings 🙏, thank you. So much love and so it is namaste
This was so helpful
Brilliant
It’s easy to say “it’s just conditioning”. Narcissistic criticism is damaging.
I guess I have not reached the level of enlightenment, but I agreed. I respect him for his calm, forgiveness,kindness, but I was watching a video of his about family betrayal and I noticed he keeps using the word “unconsciously” when they did it… etc.. and the audience kept on laughing in agreement. But I do feel like that is like giving them a pass for all their terrible behaviors, and not holding them accountable for their actions.
Way to respond to a Narcissist as per Psychologist Dr Ramani (and tried and tested): the DEEP technique:
DONT DEFEND
DONT ENGAGE
DONT EXPLAIN
DONT PERSONALISE
Do NOT expect Narcissists to “change”. They do NOT change.
You can take this one step further and agree with the person who critisices you. Quite often the total lack of pushback makes them go into such extreme positions that even they realise they are talking nonsense.
Epic as always❤
We should all be very angry with our minds for misleading and lying to us and causing us so much pain. Better yet, just transcend the mind.
🤣🤙
To survive our childhood we couldn’t be our authentic self. It was not safe to be this. So we used our ego defences to survive. False selves etc. Far from being angry about these “ protectors” we should thank them for helping us get through this . As we integrate our shadows, feel our pain, we can come off these defences. Their neural pathways have forged “ skills” or “talents” that we can use with Awarness.
If we shift our thinking to “ I am consciousness without addressing our “wounds” “ we may miss the necessary healing that we have to do to integrate our shadow parts.
Yes, the finite mind is like a cocoon holding the butterfly captive.
Being angry means having an expectation. But it makes sense to expect our mind act in our best interest! I get so frustrated that it keeps steering me wrong. But that ego saved us when we were creatures just trying to survive, so it is there for a reason. Acknowledge it , observe it, and remember it is not you. But I get sick of that fight!
@@roselowry2960 Exactly, anger happens before realization
Thanks Eckhart .and happy Thanksgiving 🙂☄️💥⚡
Thank you, I'm 53 and also stopped contact. I recognise this so....
Your such a joy. 😂. Thank you
As a young adult I came to realize there were certain topics to steer clear of if I wanted to maintain relations with my parents and my siblings.
❤needed this 😊😊😊
This is what is happening to me with my grandmother and the rest of my family My mother is the best of them all but she still has issues. My girlfriend showed this to me and I'm hoping that I can use it to learn a little bit
Muito muito muito obrigada!
I already know my thoughts have 0 value 📣🤸🏽♀️💪🏼*trust*💪🏼🤸🏽♀️📣
In case of family and people i guess most people's lives are super challenging. 😅😁
❤❤
Mom is always playing the same old download in her mind 😂 I’m sorry that was so funny I had to pause the video and laugh
Legend ❤🙏
It DOES make a difference because with understanding comes much more compassion and a shift in energy and dynamics in the relationship
That‘s so true! My parents are my greatest teachers ever! 😅🫶
But I‘ve learned to accept them! Since I can sense their conditioning I can understand their acting! 😇🙏
The closest to us seem to test our own limits but we are not alone we interact with others on so many different levels. We create the perception of a separation between us and them. There is no us and them and after all we are only ordinary beings…. I stole from PF but it’s true. We create and destroy.
I can understand that in such trying circumstances, there is an impulse to just 'let it all wash over you' and pay no heed to the parent - and that can make things more bearable. But it does not mean that the situation is not a tragedy. The solution presented is not ideal. Surely there is a way for both parties to agree that they are different and that's okay but still find some fundamental value in and respect for the other?
😊 beautiful
It’s so hard to stay present with my mom and allow her to talk when she is constantly questioning me. I don’t always know how to answer. She is extremely wounded so her questions come from her wounded inner child.
😅😊 👍Thankyou dear dr Tölle
💙💙🙏😇
...minha mãe era assim. "já vai né? é só 'batendo perna,' não pára mais em casa, parece que está adivinhando ' passarinho verde', depois não vai dizer que não te avisei, ( virava as costas e saía, e no mesmo momento: voltava) é isso mesmo, e tem mais heim" ...e lá ia ela por aí à fora...
~comments~ I actually feel like my thoughts are less important- texting wise. Like oh Das ma mind. (BTW ur so psychic for making this vid 😂)❤❤❤
Yes... But how can you keep your love and dedication and respect when your mother keeps bullying you? How can you keep your balance and inner peace when she's alternatively a nice person and a bad, evil person? I have to stay with her, for a while, and I am exhausted by her every day changes 😢
You need to chose your boundaries. If it still hurts create a distance where you can live with it. Respect your Self. Without guilt. You are not here to please your parents
God this stuff is so wise and funny at the same time I'd have fallen to the ground because of laughing if I didn't lied in bed anyway :D
when they feel you are hindrance best way, is to go
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When she stopped talking 😂😂cheeky
i'm laughing so hard at ur story of ur mom and u
The common thing I share with ET is that I laugh at my own jokes
What still happens to me sometimes is that when I do or say something and the person understands it in a different way, I mean that they can't see or feel the intention behind what I say or do and they misinterpret it. I still feel the need to give explanations or defend my point of view to clarify my intention because it was evidently misinterpreted. Should I let people stick with the interpretation they gave it? Or should I give explanations to clarify from what intention I did or said something? It happens to me with injustices, whether with me or with other people. I fully understand that it comes from the Ego and that we should not feed the Ego nor fight the Egos, but then is it correct to let them remain with a misinterpretation of the intention behind the facts? Thank you.
