Tolle is on fire in this talk: full of energy and quickness and humor and WISDOM! Thank you sincerely for this practical, spiritual message. And one that is needed by this ego. Eckhart, you are a great teacher. Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever. I will practice. 🌺
He will cause you to meet peace if you have only known suffering. And even make you laugh when you thought you are sad! False identity. Deeply grateful 🙏
Yes,I can see the humor as well when I look at the insanity and ignorance that characterizes many people's behavior, but I am going through much physical, mental and emotional pain as I make my way towards the way of being that Eckhart Tolle so clearly describes
Thanks for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever. The ancient stoics practiced "amor fati", which is accept your fate. They also said to never complain outloud or to yourself. Peace and love to everyone from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State ♥️🙏🇺🇲
The behavioral stuff can be a trap, if it isn't considered in awareness, which means:don't suppress that kind of behavior or condemn it, but observe it and don't give it more emotional power than you already gave it/it has already. And it will subside.
That's Basically how everything needs to be done. But it's a gradual process for most people so there's a spiritual behavioral rule for everything :-D they make sense and they don't
It's so strange that the ego is such a huge part of us but it works against us while appearing to work for us. Learning to manage it it is like riding a wild horse.
see so many people finding their identity through victimhood the last few years, seems like its an increasing way of people being. i hope they find another way - they are putting themselves in so much suffering. i am so grateful not to be burdened by complex religious or cultural doctrines, love being a woman growing up in Australia - free to live in the moment exactly as I am - incredibly graetful for the luck i had being born here and to the beautiful family i have that never forced or pressured me to follow or believe any particular rituals or ancestral things - just free to explore life as who i am
Those people have always been there, it's just that you and many others are now more consciously aware of them. Religion relied on being unquestioned but once the enlightenment happened people began to question more and more and unsubstantiated claims can not flourish once the light of conscious awareness is shinned on them 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I got into a relationship with a Narcissist. That was painful. But I got out of it and today I’m grateful. Bc I experienced what a false self is and I had a spiritual awakening
I'm still trying to get out of a relationship now it's so hard ,he won't stop and stay away .he won't leave me alone wen I tell him to stop coming to my home.hes horrible.i just want to be free from him.i feel so depressed and I know it's cos of him.
When you're in a perpetual state of unhappiness, it's hard to break away. Mindfulness has been a huge help. The mindfulness book 30 Days to Reduce Depression by Harper Daniels helped me. It's important to remember that we are not our conditioning.
As he was talking about complaining about rain in Vancouver. It started pouring rain outside and I’m in Vancouver 🌧️. I take that as a sign. Everything is. good, I have no complaints whatsoever.
Love you Eckharte as you so beautifully and humorously show us how ego and identity cause unneccessary suffering. My heart and spirit soar on this dark, cold winter morning. Your message is light and warmth and truth.
Eckhart is a Devine Gift to us all. He reaches me at a level unattainable by others. His method of ‘slow-walking’ us to the culmination of the ‘idea’ is so clear. I absolutely adore this man for what he has given me!
Wow, I didn't realize how many enemies I have 😅. That useless ongoing complaining in the head. Sitting in silence at times has been proven difficult, but I carry on. Thank you for sharing this with us. Peace. 🙏
This particular video ( haven't watched a lot yet) is 100% spot on. I've experienced a lot in the sense of suffering. From 15 years old untill now 31 years old. One example of my life where the Ego started to learn, or better to say when my parents started to learn me the ego: as a little kid playing with other kids at school, I was around 4-5. I noticed a boy had a big nose so I said with a tonality of awe: 'heyy, you have a big nose! :D " The kid replied with a big cry 'mommyyyy he said my nose is big' . I.... didn't mean anything with it. I just noticed it and was in an appreciative state. The thoughts altho were saying before hand, something like: ooh wow cool, he has an other shape of nose, never seen it, but nice. So what else is to see here?" I was exploring the world as any other kid. Untill I learnt from parents and teachers: "You can't say that!! You will hurt other people , so next time think before you say something, if it could hurt the other or not!" And what did I do? I turned from "extrovert" to "introvert", analyizing EVERY thought. Untill this day "I'm afraid" to share my opinion, thoughts about something etc, because I don't want to hurt people. I got SO confused as a kid.The switch from being an expressive being into a silent, quiet being was very heavy, life as burden. God is here and will always be. He guided me towards someone who I met online and he teached me The Silent Prayer. Which is exáctly meditation= observing everything that arises in the awareness yet holding no opinion about them. Second part of the practice is to applying that to daily life. At the moment I go unconscious very often in which the ego replies to me as that it's frustrating!! Hahahaha. Wonderfull how you throw the humor in the talks Eckhart. I appreciate you and am thankfull for this moment.
Eckhardt’s wisdom is phenomenal & he gives it so freely (I’m watching this on free TH-cam) .. God please bless one of our most beautiful, Living, Angels (perhaps our best one!!! ) Thankyou Eckhardt !!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
"It's not just a toy -- that was only the beginning." 6:05 ... I thoroughly enjoyed your talk and reading A New Earth many years ago was life changing. Thank you!
I thought myself to be waging a just war against my ego, with mixed results. I completely failed to see that my near constant complaining in times of stress has been literally undoing all of my efforts, keeping me trapped in endless cycles of nonsense and self-defeating mental dialog. I have wasted so much time BUT not anymore. I know where I really need to work now.
Through Eckhart and a very small handful of others I have learned the amazing value and honesty of knowing and truly accepting what I don't actually know. My new year resolution is to get to know and practice intellectual humility and factfulness much more in 2024 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@thomass715 a man called Richard Patterson who runs a website called Think less and grow rich has been and a huge help to me personally, Richards very short articles on his blog are usually extremely well explained and easy to understand. Richard himself attributes much of his own recovery from suffering to Eckhart himself and the power of now in particular as it was through PON that he finally came to realise and genuinely accept he wasn't his thoughts 🙏🙏🙏🙏
SO great .. my ego structure was shattered by serious illness following a reaction of a flu vaccine --- my ego structure was blown to bits, I lost all that I was attached to - my job, my hobbies, my capacities. It saved me, the "light got in" and I experienced the "deep I". What he says is true.
After trying to make sense of, & come to terms with, a near death experience (drowning)in 2016, i happened upon The Power of Now. Prior to seeing it, i had never heard of Eckhart!! I devoured the book & his others since. I love other teachers like Michael Singer, Rupert Spira, Thich Nhat Hanh, and others but keep returning to Eckhart as his Power of Now blew my mind at the time! Life changing!! I just love him, his teachings & his humour!❤
Everything Eckhart talks about being enlightened, I experienced in my childhood. I remember those days very clearly. And I miss that time and that state of conscious very much.
I've watched this video so many times in a row and I knew the answers were here. And it dawned on me on the 7th watch what caused the chunk of ego to fall and that beam of light to come through, so that the understanding of attachment and the way I held on so hard. This was the trigger of the dark night of the soul and it's been rough, every day a new challenge of ego is overcome and the light seems to shine brighter every day. Thank you Ekhart.
I notice some commenters address him as maestro, I didn't get it at first but now i understand, he's like a symphony conductor leading g an orchestra, timing, volume, quiet spaces, playing off the resonance of the room, maestro indeed..👑
Whenever I listen to Eckhart I feel a huge weight lift from my shoulders. I’m not religious but I can imagine people felt this when listening to Jesus. Eckharts book the power of now changed my life and I am so grateful for his help.
Can Eckhart ever explain The NOW movement and the reasons for a need to change our way of living more clearly than this 44 minutes of delights? This man has altered my very life’s view.
I really enjoyed this talk. I was just chatting with my friend (who is 35 & single and wants to be married) & I am married hoping and praying for a baby. She told me that she feels as though everyone is leaving her behind, I felt this way too before I got married, & now in my longing for a family I have noticed that we are constantly moving the needle for happiness. I have found myself pleading with God for just this one more thing & then I’ll be happy but I think we all know that is a lie. I think that’s why Paul says in Philippians “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” We always say “I’ll be happy when___” If we don’t learn contentment whether being well fed or hungry we will never find true joy. (love his analogy of rain in London vs sunshine in Hawaii) I am looking forward to the day that I look out the window & feel that “isness” For now I will enjoy the journey to get there ♥️ Holding all of your hands who are HERE. I always wish I could be frennns the people who watch these videos 😭😂🤦🏾♀️🤩
Hello Eggy thank you for the captions ❤❤❤ They add a ton of value and with the youtube auto translate feature (which uses these captions) it becomes even greater ❤❤❤ The captions are really important for me ❤❤❤ (The conventions are a lot here) Thank you, World citizen ❤
It was long and hard video but in the end very worth it... I had/have a complaining problems due to my life but it is important to have compassion with "myself" too and also understand that it led me "here" to also hopefully find peace/contentness and and also help others through their journey...
"..... long and hard video ....." I found the same and have been watching it in small increments of about 5 minutes. There's a lot in this video and watching it all in one go would give me indigestion; I'd feel like I was being punished. I seem to like watching this for a short while, then turning away and letting it sink in. Namaste ... 🙏
Dear Gurudeva, I discovered you a couple of years ago and your videos and books have transformed my life. I am 52, but from now on, I have promised myself to be conscious and aware. I am following your teachings on surrender and presence. I have been able to get over my depression, develop new confidence, remove anxiety and work towards personal goals. I am learning to practice surrender and non-resistance to the 'what-is'. I am also learning to get rid layers of Ego that results in only suffering, and dissolve the 'pain-body' ( from past, recent, big or small events or real or perceived slights!) that you describe in your books. I am feeling free. At peace with the world and happy :-). Thank you Gurudeva, you are my Guru. ( I am Indian - and as per my tradition, I touch your Holy Feet to receive Your Blessing. Please bless me and always be by my side. Om!
Learning the term*pain body"caused me to realize my life long fibromyalgia type pain is caused by my negative thoughts, only took 58 years lol🤦♀️ , probably not even what he means but that phrase but i thought I'd share, thanks Eckhart!
I absolutely loved this video, specilly the second half about complaining and the Zen teaching. Eckhart's combination of wisdom and humor is delicious, a true gift. Thank you!! ❤🙏
Your words arrived at the right Moment I know the beauty of loving in the present Moment but because a very painful family situation my daughter Who Is a dru addicts came home After 3 years not with positive intention i was trapped again in sufferig and complaints Thank tò you I Will face the situation with neutrality but acting tò protect my Life without. looking at. Her as enemy tò fight 44:23
Find someone who is powerful in prayer and ask them to pray for you and your daughter. And keep asking. Miracles happen when these people pray, usually in unexpected ways. It is a gift. I pray that such a person comes to you soon. Blessings 🙏🙏💕💕
Thank you so much Eckhart for tonight's pointing. 🙏🏻❤❤❤❤ A miracle of timing which resonates so much. Needed to hear this exactly as it arrived🙏🏻 I can't thank you enough. 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤ A miracle of synchronicity🙏🏻
Thank you! ❤😊❤ l awakened years ago but still love to watch your videos. Always good to have reminders of what l have learned. Went through a very hard year with many challenges, lessons to learn, always learning and growing. But you have taught me to handle these hard times in a much better, calmer, way. Love you Eckhart. Thank you for all you do and have done for our world. ❤❤❤
I needed to hear this. Yesterday I went to a clinic where the receptionist proceeded to ask me all these questions that I’d already answered online. I had a whinge to her about it and said ‘What’s the point of you asking me all these questions when I’ve already answered them online?’ I knew I was being a stroppy whinger and it made me feel bad and no doubt didn’t make her feel too great either …. I came away feeling disappointed in myself. Thanks for showing me that it’s just an addictive mind pattern Eckhart. I need to catch myself in the moment and repeat the Zen master’s words… Thanks for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever. Grateful for your wisdom as always 🙏🏼
Hearing Eckhart slip a muted F-bomb at 41:11, I can’t stop smiling. This is probably his best lecture on Complaining that I’ve watched so far. It’s in our DNA, our survival, to analyze things all around us. But once we start complaining about our observations, we become a Judge. And judges are superior.
Yes it seems to be a never ending game. A game that has no winners or losers and we get to choose to play or just watch…Like this comment. “We are the chess board and our thoughts, opinions, ideas and beliefs are the chess pieces, rather than black or white thought, opinions, ideas, beliefs tend to be positive or negative, they move around within board but they are not part of the board itself. If a positive piece defeats a negative piece the negative piece is soon replenished and replaced, and vice versa. It's an endless and ultimately unwinnable game, but we are not forced to play, we can instead allow the chess pieces to do thier own thing and play their game without our interest or attention, while we ourselves do our own things.”
I think WE ARE EVOLVING AS A SPECIES...WE ARE GRADUATING FROM THIS SEPARATE VIEW FROM EACH OTHER INTO A GOD MIND KNOWING THAT IS ALL THERE EVER IS....WE are learning that We Humans are JUST GOD HAVING AN EXPERIENCE THROUGH OUR FLESH...THERE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN A SEPARATE HUMAN FROM GOD...THE EGO IS HAVING A FIT AND WANTS TO BE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED FOR SOME FALSE AGGRANDIZEMENT... EVEN IF IT'S I'M THE WORST OR IM THE GREATEST.. ALL FUTILE ,,SO EVENTUALLY, WE WILL JUST STOP THE NONSENSE ONCE WE WAKE UP...ONE HUMAN AT A TIME❤
Thought is self-protecting. Thought in its origin, content, expression, and action is fascist. Thoughts are not self-generated. They are not spontaneous. The brain is just a reactor and a converter. It is not a creator. It reacts to external stimuli and produces what we call thoughts. The human brain appears to solve life's problems. But that is not really the case. It only achieves the results for which nature created it. Overall, systems of nature are endowed with an assemblage of life forms, possessing either brain or brawn or both."
Think many choose to feed the ego not because they enjoy it, but to occupy themselves and stay clear of that emptiness a still mind can bring initially. The fear of silence is often greater than the fear of suffering from a bloated ego. I know Eckhart and many more speak on that matter as well, but yeah, just wanted to point it out. Awesome talk anyway!
❤ The ego is neither a thought nor a sound. It is psychic vital energy and it's essential nature is desire or more precisely desiring. That is why the most common behaviour of the ego is almost constantly wanting or desiring something.😮
Eckhart roasting the entire human race in 44 minutes 😂 Love him, always feel grateful to be in his presence.
🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Hahaha😅
😆😘
He doesn't say it directly, but you can tell how unimpressed he is with the victimhood identity stuff going on in society now.
😂😂😂😂😂❤🧡💛💚💙💜💟
"I have been victimized so much in my life that I am Superior in my victimhood to most people" hit the nail on the head with that one
Eckhart was on a roll here and it's got to be the best video I've seen of him so far. What an amazing human and spiritual teacher.🙏
💜
Yes!

Eckhart, you are a great teacher.
Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever. I will practice. 🌺
Jokes aside, Eckhart is one of the best stand-up(or sit-down, in his case) comedians out there!😊
Agreed!! I was rollin last evening. He raises the spirit for sure!!
He will cause you to meet peace if you have only known suffering. And even make you laugh when you thought you are sad! False identity. Deeply grateful 🙏
Lol, 😂 that's exactly what I was just saying!
Yes,I can see the humor as well when I look at the insanity and ignorance that characterizes many people's behavior, but I am going through much physical, mental and emotional pain as I make my way towards the way of being that Eckhart Tolle so clearly describes
@@floatfree1190 Stay strong!! Believe and you will conquer!!! Much love and peace to you 🤗💯♥️
Eckhart - must be German for “gift to the Universe “ ❤❤❤❤
As well as "Gift from the Universe" 🎉❤
Sounds more Bristish
HE IS 100 PERCENT GERMAN BUT MOVED TO SPAIN, ENGLAND AND THEN NOW IN THE USA
Eckhart isn’t his given name. He changed it from Ulrich to honor a German mystic by that same name.
Thanks for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever.
The ancient stoics practiced "amor fati", which is accept your fate. They also said to never complain outloud or to yourself. Peace and love to everyone from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State ♥️🙏🇺🇲

@@mandimcdonald461 Thanks❤️
But it feels so good when to do what would satisfy the ego doesn't feel satisfying anymore. It's such a relief!
Destructive habits melt away as we rise above the alligator pit that use to torment us but is safe distance away making us stronger each day.
'When you recognize the ego you can choose to be present rather than to be trapped.'
Yes!🎉❤
Excellent observation!
stop identifying with narratives is a great start.
For Eckhart Tolle to be able to put this in words is absolutely wonderful. I could listen to him all day.
The ego is so tricky and constantly trying to deceive. I'm so grateful for Eckhart he is a gift to humanity. He woke me up.
It's so strange that the ego is such a huge part of us but it works against us while appearing to work for us.
Learning to manage it it is like riding a wild horse.
Me too❤

Yes, but the narcissist will give up and move on if you’re not somehow supplying the fuel he needs.
@clarelowe3718 Please listen again to Eckharts words 🙏
It is all mind game, Pain body makes you feel you are suffering
@@clarelowe3718 get a court order
❤ This is perhaps the most entertaining Eckhart speech ever. He roasts everything, and he's not even a humorist. He's so amazing.😅😅😅
He is not an ordinary human being. He is the modern world, Saint by all means. Listen carefully.
i believe he is an ordinary human being. and that most of the people are not :)
he's Being humane.
I so much agree 👍
No he’s just an ordinary human being like everyone else
When you're in a perpetual state of unhappiness, it's hard to break away. Mindfulness has been a huge help. The mindfulness book 30 Days to Reduce Depression by Harper Daniels helped me. It's important to remember that we are not our conditioning.
It barely made a dent for me.
It reads like an AI book, without the freeing consciousness of a real evolved human

Love you Eckharte as you so beautifully and humorously show us how ego and identity cause unneccessary suffering. My heart and spirit soar on this dark, cold winter morning. Your message is light and warmth and truth.
Great man has an amazing sense of humour❤
Here Eckhart is truly in his element, truly liberating and so hopeful for all of us neurotics
The ego is very good at disguising itself, emotions such as jealousy indicates it's still there
I agree, jealousy is a horrid emotion to feel but once you conquer your ego and rise above it jealousy is no longer a burden.
Hard to see the dark side is.
i saw video where Tolle asked ,"how can u tell when it's your ego that is acting & reacting?"
"..if u are upset, that's the ego.."
Suffering means I’m out of alignment

Thank you too for being 🌹

I really enjoyed this talk. I was just chatting with my friend (who is 35 & single and wants to be married) & I am married hoping and praying for a baby.
She told me that she feels as though everyone is leaving her behind, I felt this way too before I got married, & now in my longing for a family I have noticed that we are constantly moving the needle for happiness. I have found myself pleading with God for just this one more thing & then I’ll be happy but I think we all know that is a lie.
I think that’s why Paul says in Philippians “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”
We always say “I’ll be happy when___”
If we don’t learn contentment whether being well fed or hungry we will never find true joy.

I am looking forward to the day that I look out the window & feel that “isness”
For now I will enjoy the journey to get there ♥️
Holding all of your hands who are HERE. I always wish I could be frennns the people who watch these videos 😭😂🤦🏾♀️🤩
Like he said. Just look without mental commentaries. That’s all. Don’t make it complicated. 😊
As you are a Christian.... Try the Rosary. Look up the 15 promises of the Rosary. One of them is you will be provided for in all of your necessities.
Thanks for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever ❤
This made me realise how nothing can be mine, everything is borrowed from the earth.
Yes. We came here bringing nothing, and we'll get out from here with empty hands. Só, enjoy your stay ! ❤❤❤
Yeah it also helps to let go of things and people
Hello Eggy thank you for the captions ❤❤❤
They add a ton of value and with the youtube auto translate feature (which uses these captions) it becomes even greater ❤❤❤
The captions are really important for me ❤❤❤
(The conventions are a lot here)
Thank you,
World citizen ❤
It was long and hard video but in the end very worth it...
I had/have a complaining problems due to my life but it is important to have compassion with "myself" too and also understand that it led me "here" to also hopefully find peace/contentness and and also help others through their journey...
"..... long and hard video ....."
I found the same and have been watching it in small increments of about 5 minutes. There's a lot in this video and watching it all in one go would give me indigestion; I'd feel like I was being punished. I seem to like watching this for a short while, then turning away and letting it sink in.
Namaste ... 🙏
Classic Eckhart at his best!!! What a sense of humor 😂. Hitting the ball way out of the park Eckhart!! 👏
Love it!! If he wasn't an enlightened teacher, he should have been a stand-up comedian In gratitude. Namaste.
Dear Gurudeva, I discovered you a couple of years ago and your videos and books have transformed my life. I am 52, but from now on, I have promised myself to be conscious and aware. I am following your teachings on surrender and presence. I have been able to get over my depression, develop new confidence, remove anxiety and work towards personal goals. I am learning to practice surrender and non-resistance to the 'what-is'. I am also learning to get rid layers of Ego that results in only suffering, and dissolve the 'pain-body' ( from past, recent, big or small events or real or perceived slights!) that you describe in your books. I am feeling free. At peace with the world and happy :-). Thank you Gurudeva, you are my Guru. ( I am Indian - and as per my tradition, I touch your Holy Feet to receive Your Blessing. Please bless me and always be by my side. Om!
Thanks for everything, I have no complains whatsoever
Learning the term*pain body"caused me to realize my life long fibromyalgia type pain is caused by my negative thoughts, only took 58 years lol🤦♀️ , probably not even what he means but that phrase but i thought I'd share, thanks Eckhart!
Negative mindset is simply a self inflicted pain/discomfort. We can choose to think ourselves out of pain/discomfort
How wonderful. Thank you Eckhart. 🙏💜🥰
"Suffering is Grace", Neem Karoli Baba, Guru to Ram Dass. ❤
Thank you, Eckhart, it is nice to see, that you are doing your work still better and better...
I absolutely loved this video, specilly the second half about complaining and the Zen teaching. Eckhart's combination of wisdom and humor is delicious, a true gift. Thank you!! ❤🙏
This was one of Eckhart's most humourous videos...couldn't stop laughing at so many parts!!!...just love this guy and his spiritual teachings😍❤️👏👏
Thanks for everything have no complaints about anything, 🎯♥😶 🙏☮ wishing love, grace, courage and understanding for all

Find someone who is powerful in prayer and ask them to pray for you and your daughter. And keep asking. Miracles happen when these people pray, usually in unexpected ways. It is a gift. I pray that such a person comes to you soon. Blessings 🙏🙏💕💕
allowed to hear, understand a wording of truth is such a timeless momentum. "in grace and gratitude"
Thank you Eckhart Tolle for the guided dynamic meditation for life’s situation
I heralded myself as a critical thinker all my life and wasn’t aware that I was making enemies anywhere my mind went.
I think I understand what you're saying but also I'm interested in how you can elaborate on this. Please do
That's beautiful ❤️
But ur not the thoughts
You help all these people Eckharte ! So wonderful a role you have! Thankyou 🙏
Another one where it feels like Eckhart is talking directly to me and where I am in my journey. Thank you 🙏🏻
Can’t live with it, can’t live without it.
You are wonderful, Eckhart. Love you always. ❤
Thank you so much Eckhart for tonight's pointing. 🙏🏻❤❤❤❤ A miracle of timing which resonates so much. Needed to hear this exactly as it arrived🙏🏻 I can't thank you enough. 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤
A miracle of synchronicity🙏🏻
Me too
Love your energy Eckhart. Great video! Thank you and love and light to all. ❤😊❤
Your every thought is a trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is peace Itself.
In Pure Awareness there is no diversity whatsoever...
Becoming enlightened has never been more fun…😊
Edibles and Eckart work well for me
Agreed ❤🎉
Thank you! ❤😊❤ l awakened years ago but still love to watch your videos. Always good to have reminders of what l have learned. Went through a very hard year with many challenges, lessons to learn, always learning and growing. But you have taught me to handle these hard times in a much better, calmer, way. Love you Eckhart. Thank you for all you do and have done for our world. ❤❤❤
I needed to hear this. Yesterday I went to a clinic where the receptionist proceeded to ask me all these questions that I’d already answered online. I had a whinge to her about it and said ‘What’s the point of you asking me all these questions when I’ve already answered them online?’ I knew I was being a stroppy whinger and it made me feel bad and no doubt didn’t make her feel too great either …. I came away feeling disappointed in myself.
Thanks for showing me that it’s just an addictive mind pattern Eckhart. I need to catch myself in the moment and repeat the Zen master’s words… Thanks for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever.
Grateful for your wisdom as always 🙏🏼
Love you Eckhart.
Thanks for uploading, Eckhardt Tolle, so that we can see how the mind works. 🙏☀️
Eckhart, tonight in my dream state .....I just realised that: Thanks for everything I have no complaint whatsoever ❤..God bless you.😊👍
Hearing Eckhart slip a muted F-bomb at 41:11, I can’t stop smiling. This is probably his best lecture on Complaining that I’ve watched so far. It’s in our DNA, our survival, to analyze things all around us. But once we start complaining about our observations, we become a Judge. And judges are superior.
“Why We Exist As False Egoic Identity” and how we must transcend it and find our essence identity
Yes it seems to be a never ending game. A game that has no winners or losers and we get to choose to play or just watch…Like this comment.
“We are the chess board and our thoughts, opinions, ideas and beliefs are the chess pieces, rather than black or white thought, opinions, ideas, beliefs tend to be positive or negative, they move around within board but they are not part of the board itself. If a positive piece defeats a negative piece the negative piece is soon replenished and replaced, and vice versa. It's an endless and ultimately unwinnable game, but we are not forced to play, we can instead allow the chess pieces to do thier own thing and play their game without our interest or attention, while we ourselves do our own things.”
I think WE ARE EVOLVING AS A SPECIES...WE ARE GRADUATING FROM THIS SEPARATE VIEW FROM EACH OTHER INTO A GOD MIND KNOWING THAT IS ALL THERE EVER IS....WE are learning that We Humans are JUST GOD HAVING AN EXPERIENCE THROUGH OUR FLESH...THERE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN A SEPARATE HUMAN FROM GOD...THE EGO IS HAVING A FIT AND WANTS TO BE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED FOR SOME FALSE AGGRANDIZEMENT... EVEN IF IT'S I'M THE WORST OR IM THE GREATEST..
ALL FUTILE ,,SO EVENTUALLY, WE WILL JUST STOP THE NONSENSE ONCE WE WAKE UP...ONE HUMAN AT A TIME❤
@@wagwand you have to be without thought
Thought is self-protecting. Thought in its origin, content, expression, and action is fascist. Thoughts are not self-generated. They are not spontaneous. The brain is just a reactor and a converter. It is not a creator. It reacts to external stimuli and produces what we call thoughts. The human brain appears to solve life's problems. But that is not really the case. It only achieves the results for which nature created it. Overall, systems of nature are endowed with an assemblage of life forms, possessing either brain or brawn or both."
Think many choose to feed the ego not because they enjoy it, but to occupy themselves and stay clear of that emptiness a still mind can bring initially.
The fear of silence is often greater than the fear of suffering from a bloated ego.
I know Eckhart and many more speak on that matter as well, but yeah, just wanted to point it out.
Awesome talk anyway!
This is Eckhart in top form. Wow…just WOW
Thank you Eckhart, I needed this.👍🙏
Thank You Eckhart. Stay blessed , Health $ Happiness Always!!❤🖖🙏
Everything you say is so true and at times extremely funny. You are one of the very few people that can get me laughing. It's wonderful ❤
love you Eckhart. I have gone through your books. Thank you so much for giving such wonderful thoughts.
His smiling sets me free!
This is a good one. Thank you Eckhart!
Priceless gems of wisdom. Thank you !!!!
Thoroughly Enjoyable
Thank You Beloved Eckhart ❤
❤ The ego is neither a thought nor a sound.
It is psychic vital energy and it's essential nature is desire or more precisely desiring.
That is why the most common behaviour of the ego is almost constantly wanting or desiring something.😮
Thanks Eckhart for this ego blowing video...
