I've lived all my life in suffering, Now I live in presence, I still get pulled backwards, but eckhart always brings me back. Thank you
yes, he is good medicine, & strong, don't let his gentle demeanor fool anyone, this guy is grounded/deeply rooted within that ive only experienced briefly, it must be truly deep & constant with him.
I was deeply moved by this segment. I had cancer 6 years ago. I got over the physical pain rather quickly. The suffering came after. I felt alone and depressed. Since then, meditation became a habit and it helped me find balance. I understand what it means to be present.
It's strange isn't it, how the depression sets in after cancer? Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome! You're so inspiring! Thank you for sharing this with us!
My best to you!!

I have hypochondria, Im mostly in fear of something is going to happen to me. I’m trying to implement what Eckart tolle says in my life.
Come to think of it, what is really important in life? I used to think it was career, success, love relationships, etc. I’ve personally overcome a great deal and unfolded a great deal, but somehow I forget about that when I get caught up in these “stories” we create in our heads. We get told you’re supposed to have this and that and be in a certain standing at a certain time in your life. It makes me forget who I really am. Death is “not supposed” to happen to us until a story is fulfilled, otherwise our lives are considered some kind of failure. What nonsense.
Cancer is a word. We have to exit one way or another. When we can drop this story in our heads and see how magnificent we are right now, we realize we are MUCH MORE THAN SOME MEDICAL CONDITION. We are beings that are awake, we are aware and we are full of love. This is who we are.
100 percent agree
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. ❤
Exactly, sometimes it feels like we need the 'perfect' life to be happy. Always we need a reason to feel good. But we forget that the most things in life is out of our control. Some things we can't just change, we need to accept. Thanks for your comment, you made me remember what's realy important in life.
Q
I fully agree. Nicely told by you. Our mind does social engineering to lure us into the trap of creating a non fulfillment story.
His words are golden....what a blessing to have Him among us
I've got a chronicle illness since youth. The worse thing you can do when you are in pain is to think: Now how long has this been going on, and just how long is this going to last? Automatically, this makes you discover the Now and forget about past and future, because within the moment, pain becomes way more bearable. Listen, I still suffer a lot, you know: being in agony very often is an incredible training. When I'm without pain, I enjoy that condition so very much, maybe excessively so, I don't know. Maybe it's possible to reach a condition that you don't even feel the difference any more. I certainly haven't reached that point.
It is SO crazy that he said he's never had health problems yet he explained exactly what happened to me when I was diagnosed with cancer last year. That "forcing into the present moment." I didn't know how to quite describe it, but the weekend after my diagnosis, when I had to tell my family, I kept trying to explain how I felt. It was like a veil was lifted and all of a sudden, for the first time in my 39 years, I could just see everything crystal clear. I am so grateful for it.
The Buddha sometimes called great suffering a "divine messenger", since it can lead you to a path towards liberation. It is far from easy to see it like that though
💗💗💗
Yes, possibly liberated from one's valuables, as well.
The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived;
Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears. When you abide as that in which it appears instead of identifying; nothing has a grip on you; if anything comes; it quickly goes; like clouds passing; only if you identify as a cloud then it will appear as if the cloud is here for longer than it is originally supposed to; if you simply rest as the awareness and do not identify; it will quickly dissolve; be unconditional love by being aware of being aware; this is the highest; this is what you are seeking in absolutely everything else; you are seeking yourself; you are seeking unconditional love; but you are looking outside of yourself; instead of being aware that you already are unconditional love. Love love
@@YaTut169 I seek fun, friendly, attractive women, who affirm my worthiness. I affirm it from time to time, but that is in a pinch.
@@YaTut169 Wow, , Tysm
perfection of Timing =) to read this 📖 🙏 🙌 Thanks Ya 🤗☺️👌😊
6:41 “if there is pain…you also need to surrender” wow. The way he just mentions in passing a concept that has practically single handedly gotten me through my painful stomach issues
yes, this stuff bubbles up thru him & pours out like a fountain, easy to miss profound deep which flow seeming effortlessly forth..
that was a year ago, how has this practice with Tolle affected ur life, & with ur stomach issues?
@@mindsigh4 so it’s been a bit more complicated than just surrendering. Although this concept has helped quote a bit. I have had to alleviate some of the stressors in my life through therapy and changing jobs. Also eliminating dairy, caffeine and reducing alcohol consumption has been very helpful. It is still not fully healed but has improved significantly and I’m confident I will have it behind me in another year or so
Look into allergies/intolerances. I had a soy allergy for 30 years before I realized that's what was causing all my issues. It's in more than just labelled products - vegetable oils, polysorbates, glycerins, natural and artificial flavours, rosemary extracts, stearates and cellulose (almost all meds). I didn't realize because it was everywhere.
If that isn't the case I hope you find healing but I always make sure to mention the soy when people say they have stomach problems. I also had eczema and sinus headaches that cleared up with the elimination of soy.
As an update to this, I have continuously healed and am nearing 100% now. Cheers and best of luck to all!
Seems no one is exempt from suffering. Physical,psychological or relationship loss everyone must persevere despite the pain. Thanks Eckhart for clues in coping.
For me, cancer was a blessing. I experienced cancer for approximately 16 months, getting chemo and radiation for most of that time. It was a very rough time, but that period of my life allowed me to be able to help countless others in their journey through cancer treatments. I can honestly say, "I know how you feel." And I can walk them and their families through the incredibly difficult path that awaits them. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing, no matter how painful and challenging.
I agree. One of the biggest awakenings I've ever had 🙏
I agree.
@@SarahMikola Yes!
@@SarahMikola how. i need help.
Dear brother
There are some effective simple yogic practices... Breathing exercises... Its called pranayama... which had completely cured many cancer patients within around 3 months daily 2 hrs of practice.
1 hour kapalabhaathi and 1 hour anuloma-viloma... These 2 pranayamas. Search " Swami Ramdev India ".
And please avoid the harmful allopathic treatments as much as possible.
And surrender to the Omnipotent God.
Om
Mom died of cancer, and it was the best thing that ever happened for us. 51 years she was just a shadow and the 2 years she had cancer i finally met the woman who claimed to be my mother.
Eckhart knows what he is talking about.
That's beautiful
Wow!
I just recovered from cancer and have other 'chronic conditions'. I can handle the illnesses themselves and they do indeed feel like strange but awakening gifts. The long term mood altering, hormone shifting and physical side effects are the hardest things to grapple with in my experience.
Awesome! Congratulations on surviving cancer! Stay strong!
You are not the body❤️
Hi Louise. I agree. I have longterm depression anxiety mood swings causing chronic fatigue...I have learned to deal with them over many years...
Every difficulty brings new perspective and teaches me more about myself...and others. 67 now still learning ! Stay well and safe. Thanks for sharing.❤️
Yep... it actually effects how you can function. It affects your mood.
Yes it’s hard to be present when you are physically feeling horrible. I would dearly love to not feel the physical symptoms
7.48:"the flowering that is meant to be the purpose of human life the flowering of consciousness happened.They didn't need another 25 years of life which means25 years of eating 25 years of taking the dog for a walk,going on vacation...."
I've been impressed by this sentence! Thanks Eckhart!ॐ ॐ ❤
Yes it was truly moving
I think it's harder when you are in constant pain 24/7, It's harder to feel peaceful than because it's instinctively just not ok. it's not the thoughts but the feeling itself
He teaches how be with pain too
@@saltandsriracha How ?
ABSOLUTELY
"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"
My biggest worry is I may have cancer, and I don't have health insurance. It has made me have severe anxiety, can't sleep or eat.I pray every day to Jesus to help me through this.
I'm in the same position as you, a possible cancer diagnosis, in pain all day without insurance.
U have changed my life , thanks for being who you are , thanks for inspiring us ♥️
Send love to you, Eckhart! You contribute so much into my awareness thank you 💜💜💜
I love the way Echart accepts people of different walks of life and acknowledges them.
I live with a mental illness from drugs. I pray I will get healed...
❤
My deepest thanks to you for all your help. Many blessings to you in all your work. We are forever grateful. Namaste ❤
to the letter writer,blessings and prayers,my oldest twin billy jack had leakemia at age 2 and a relapse at age 16 including over a year in a coma,all i can say is ,I am with you now as a friend,my son never knew any different being so young ,and till this day i have never heard one complaint ,he finds joy in the smallest and least things,i wish i knew you so we could coffee up and visit,friends are fleeting for me,i cope by enjoying small things too,a tiny flower or feathers i find,lonliness would be my ill,not alk days easy,i look forward to a miracle,i refuse to believe in anything less,today and yesterday,it did not come,but tomorrow i will wait alk day again
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE. I SUFFER FROM A TERRIBLE ANXIETY DO TO A WORSENING RINGING IN THE EARS
AND OTHER THINGS, AND WATCHING THIS VIDEO MADE ME FEEL A BIT BETTER. SO I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE THINGS ECKHART SAID. THANK YOU.
Me to sad hard
My life turned upside down through severe panic attacks and states of extrem anxieties, I went in situations and couldn’t control my body’s shaking. I secluded myself after other illnesses in the body. I am slowly seeing it as my biggest life opportunity to awaken. The shaking in hindsight felt most alive and I even sometimes miss it.
Can u explain what u mean secluded how can I to like am in panic mode n depression please let me know
@@cardonadarlene4650 I stayed alone and didn’t go to places where the panic could come back! It means I take care of myself and I rather go into the woods than into a crowded city. Or I do not go to partys wher I know I feel not good….
I'm still in the middle of getting into full awareness but I'm still clinged to my ego. But I have slowly been getting calmer. But it's still that sense of control, the fact that I'm not healing and ''losing'' my future.
I´m certain nobody has it eas< to deal with cancer. I lost a friend to cancer a few months ago, it´s hard, even for him as a faithful Buddhist
"Can you allow the illness to push you into the awakened state?"
"A lot of suffering of illness arise from what your mind is saying."
Thank you.
I've had so much peace watching the videos here and staying present. Recently i somehow allowed anxiety in..in using it as a lesson. Being grateful and pulling myself back. But it's odd how it came out of nowhere over something so trivial.
Thank you once again Eckhart for your wisdom. Much love to you.❤️I truly believe that an eckhart a day keeps the doctor away!!🙏 Love and light to my fellow human brothers and sisters.❤️

I love you master Eckhart. Thank you.
This video helps me a lot because I've been struggling with ankylosing spondylitis and it's been hard. But now I understand most of the pain is because of my reaction about my thoughts 🤔😊
Did you ever take any kind of Fluoroquinolone such as Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox or Floxin?? These CAUSE body-wide injury.
Your voice alone helps calm me down.
I enjoyed the presentation as I am experiencing some anxiety having had recent hip surgery and other issues but nothing fatal to my knowledge and find myself mad at myself and counting my blessings and learning to be grateful and stay positive and live my life while I have life 😊 Thank you
Use the illness to be present moment awareness, if there is no physical pain from this illness
Avoid excessive dwelling on illness or you as victim of this illness
Thank you Eckhart 🙏🙏🙏❤️
I make videos on this channel to do with reaching higher states of consciousness whether through meditation and lucid dreaming and to be honest, I learned most of my stuff from Eckhart, what a guy! I finally made a video about the ego a few days ago. Living in the present moment has helped me escape the egoic repetitive mind :)
Metaphorical death has to occur in order for rebirth and transformation to be a possibility. After every Tragedy Blessings will soon follow if one allows them to follow....
In Zen you say "die before death".
7:47 SPEARHEADING the moment. or choosing the truth of the moment. embodying the truth of the moment.
I read a great passage from Adyashanti today:
"It has been my observation that many people involved in spirituality are waiting for some great spiritual experience to make everything in their lives clear and solve all of their problems for them. This is a bit of an overstatement but not all that uncommon to varying degrees. Instead of trying to remain in a state of stillness, or peace, or any other state when dealing with the challenges of life, we are better served by seeking to act and respond with wisdom, clarity, and openheartedness."
Thank you eckhart! Love!
Listening to you always puts me in a present, spiritually conscious and peaceful state. Recently a vital and prominent management figure at work died unexpectedly during a surgery. It was a shock and was a reminder of how fleeting and uncertain our physical life can be.
This does not work; I got my ex back with the help and assistance of Dr Ominimini, I'm sure and certain he will help you as well. I'm a living testimony of his great work✅✅

Love Beloved Eckhart 🌹
I love it. So precious.
Thank you so much Eckhart 🙏❤️ this was amazing.
These videos of Eckhart are old and already available on TH-cam. I have watched them before. Recent few videos are also old ones re-released under different titles! I would love to see recent videos of Eckhart!
Yep. Definitely seen this before!
I feel the same way about Abraham Hicks videos
Yes I agree
I feel like they are commercialising his work by adding catchy titles to parts. I love ET but that kind of mindset turns me away.
New ones are also on TH-cam many of them
Thank you for this nice and respectful talk.🙏🙏
Beautiful explanation
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you eckhart .
You are the real and the only (messenger)
May you live forever.
Very helpful. Thank you so much.
this man helps pull me out of doomscrolling.
Thank you Eckhart 🙏💜🙏
Thank you.
Thank you!

Thank You VERY Much 🙂
Thanks for share this video Master
I am so enjoying “The Power Of Now” and I love what this man speaks about. I am trying every day, in every moment that I can, to be present. However, I’ve just read a story about a beautiful 6 month old baby girl who has been diagnosed with life threatening leukemia, and I can’t get my head around this awful story. It’s made me so emotional. I’m not sure I understand how these awful things can happen in such a young and helpless being. It all seems so unfair to me. I’m struggling with how to “think” about this awful story and this poor baby girl who won’t live much longer. A baby doesn’t ask for this illness. It just seems so sad that they don’t get the same chance to live a long life that another being does.
I’d be interested to hear some thoughts on this. 🙏🏼
Thank your god we have him 🙏
Thank you 💕
Thank you 💜
I have also witnessed this. I think the Fear of Death program can really cause that continued downwards spiral into worry and further illness. When someone liberates themselves from that falseness, the Light takes over and the luminosity of the Soul on the edge of Oneness becomes clear! Beautiful share Eckhart, thank you so much. ❤️🙏
Yeah, that's why in Zen it's also said to "die before death".
@@onreact I like that concept. Working towards the "end of self" and the embodiment of the whole. I've done work on releasing identity, and it's been deeply powerful for my personal evolution. 🙏☺️
Wishing you health and happiness :)
I can truly understand the cancer analogy being a gift that helps you to live in a heightened sence of prescence. However, I would be interested to know how a person with a mind altering disease such as alzheimers, dimentia can cope. Also, advice for the one that is a care giver of this loved one that has this issue.
With alzehimer you are forced to be more present, because alheizmer affects memory meaning you won't be conditioned by the past.
Haha
@@FPLNameless It's true but not funny. Also it's alzheimers. You mistyped it twice. Do you have alzheimers yourself?
@@onreact yes, but i forgot that's why i wrote the comment.
My sincere apologies mister
Thanks for information 🙏🙏
What if the illness effects your quality of life in all ways? This is really hard. I have a vestibular disorder.
I'd like advise on this too. Vertigo makes you just have to lay still not even moving your head for days and nights at a time when it's bad. Feels impossible to function let alone flourish. But I remain hopeful, and I really hope you are feeling better now.
I tried alot to cup with type1 diabetes it sucks thats all i can say the mind form is really strong i try to avoid dwelling with my thoughts about it it just kinda force me to get anxious.
Wow! Is it youtube magical or the Universe? but today i fell ill (not the prostate cancer of course) and feel like a capricious child)))) but thanks to Ekhart my state of consciousness is fine)))
Health issues are my biggest challenge--I am jealous Eckhart never goes to hospitals, has any health issues, etc, etc.. I practically live in doctor's offices and most of my life is consumed with my health issues many of which are fatal
Sending love!
🙏
Dont be jealous. Your life is as much precious!
I choose wellness 🙂
i don’t agree Eckart when you said purpose of life , life doesn’t have a purpose or meaning , purpose/meaning lives in the mind , what is meaning? what you make it!
WoW WoW WoW ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you so much
This is really helpful coping with the anxiety of the election non-results. thank you, Eckart!
I know someone who does powerful love spell without stress, he was the one who help me to get my ex back. I know he can help you too

Someone who is diagnosed with a terminal disease, loses ego because he has no future any more. This is not my case. Maybe I'll have to go through this ordeal and live to be a hundred. Because of all this I published "The Philosophy of Now", which contains ever so much similarities with Eckhart 's message. I cannot confront a public, and help it the way he does. So I'm glad he does.
In the year 2000, in Antwerp.
The one who helped me to go on living, was Joseph Campbell with his "Power of Myth", the series of interviews he gave to Bill Moyer's, during the last week of his life.
He made me realise that I had a reason to go on living, lying in bed in great agony, at times.
And now there's Eckhart, and when I feel close to suicide, he's the one to turn to, now.
And of course, I haven't forgotten what Joseph Campbell has taught me, and so many other spiritual friends, like my father, f.i.
Illness arises from mental activities. It forces you to return to intense presence.
Time becomes irrelevant. Ego can't survive.
Thanks Eckhart. ☕🍕🏜♥️🎡🎺🏖♥️🎡🎡🐛🐦
Full Spectrum Cannabis oil, alkaline diet, as many green organic juices as you can fit in your body and your on a good path of getting rid of it. Its all about understanding the cause of it and then treating it.

I am having trouble accepting my illness. I have an extremely rare condition which I have to live with. But it's so hard to live with it. It gives me multiple symptoms and is certainly forcing me into the present moment. But I wish I felt positive about the present moments. How do I do that?
❤❤❤❤
Try Yoga Nidra...LIAM GILLEN .. go beyond.
I have some chronical illnes. But what is wrong if I want for example travell? And I dont do it for someone else, or egor and I can travel on low budget. What is problem if someone want play piano, play football, have girlfrend, just not egoisticks things, just thinks that you feel realy from your hear makes you happy. Whats wrong if someone want it? All sick persons alll bad because they want do somethink, explain me that someone please.

Oh it is really a bad thing to lose the body because of illness, you are then not able to do human daily life things

Does anyone know how to deal with the “isness” of a moment when there is more than 1 layer at given moment?
For example, if someone gets angry at a spouse over a conversation, there is 1 thing happening at the moment. But what if you are super tired at the end of a long day with 2 toddlers, you want to sleep but you can’t, because your toddlers refuse to sleep passed their bed time, and your husband who was supposed to help you put them to sleep, fell asleep before everyone else; and your kids are kicking and screaming and causing noise pollution for the neighbours?
What is the isness of this moment? To which do you surrender? How?

The only thing that helps is to say they will lose something they like if not stopping . And you take indeed from them. My daughter has done this and works. They beg her not take away things like cell, plays, horse classes that my grandson loves. If they are too young, find something that will make them sad if taken out from them. 😂
The English musician he talks about is Wilco johnson, he talks a lot about presence in his interviews post illness

Try going vegan, if not pure frugivore , if not already and see if it all goes?
Yes, dispersal of seeds is good ecology.
Ideally you go vegan before you develop cancer. Animal products lead to many types of cancer. Once you're sick it's much harder to switch.
