One of the funniest and down to earth conversations I've heard him have
"This whole present moment thing really works" - all of Eckhart's teachings in a sentence (/s)
This was good. Allowing yourself to be human without losing consciousness.
Oh what a joy to watch this video. I have been walking around for quite some time with this exact same question. This early morning it was like a magnet pulling me towards the answer. And there it is. Happy guidance. Happy stillness. Happy home. 🙏
So, wallowing in the past or future is unhelpful and often toxic - especially when your thoughts are negative. Even imagining a positive future outcome takes you too much out of the present. But thinking about the past and future in practical, neutral terms, like reflecting on valuable lessons from the past, or planning and preparing for a future event, is very worthwhile. Does that sound about right?
The key is to not dwell 👍
What a great spiritual master.very tactful, this world needs more of this human beings
His intelligence amazes me!!
omg he almost swore!!! yay
Im a filipino and im confirming this.
I wish I lived in the Philippines.
Thank you Eckhart! For me this was the most useful q&a.
I would say just be present with your planning.. and whatever your plans are.. plan for presence in them
U r so cute when u laugh my gosh, Thank u for being here
A true master
This was such a good segment!!
You are Blessed Myster Ekhart 🌠
She is beautiful!❤️
usmale9112001 makes it hard to stay present
And she has a beautiful laugh. :-)
Thank you so much I have been struggling with this lately and you just helped me be able to release it.
Being 'present' while thinking about past and future.
Thinking MINUS the worry.
Outcome does not devastate/destroy you OR exhilarate you.
Hey can you help me ouy? i am new here and only checking out Eckart because i am interested in learning different world views. To me this all sounds like woo-woo nonsense. Why should we shut off our emotions like worry or excitement? Life is lived in our emotions. It sounds like this guy is promoting being an android that takes in observstions only in the now. Am i misunderstanding this?
@@blademaster9575 well. I agree with you about emotions being our driving force.
E -motion 😁
I guess emotions can also derail, if not regulated
Tolle could be talking about that.
In my view, mastering and regulating emotion makes us powerful.
@@blademaster9575 for example, depression results from a loop of negative thoughts over a long period of time
Of not able to let go memories of hurtful incidents.
So how do we move on from this loop of the past.
By fixing our attention on the current moment.
By being focussed on what is there NOW, right ?
And so on.
@@Lakshyam9 interesting. Thank you
Really great and comforting.
you really are changing the vibrating thank you
Long things short: "Plan and think without using feelings and get emotional"
The Philosopher that’s completely wrong though
@@amberneal5362Can you help me get it right? tnX
Its more like being grounded in the now while planning the thing called future.
Maybe he is talking about worrying? Plan, act and dont worry about the future isnt it?
You understood correctly,
Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊😊🙂 exact time for me to see this video 😉
Michał Kutzner Same here! was confused about imagination( Like ideas, innovations) now had it cleared!
I feel like I lose the present moment to some extent when I think about the future at all. Like even if i just think, oh next week I'm going to do this, I'll feel a slight bad feeling inside myself and I won't feel present. It seems for me I have to not have anything planned ever again.
mulkytool can you write down what you're going to do next week without thinking?
This is how I've been feeling too. As aware as I can be, in presence, it seems when I think about what I've planned to do, there is a little discomfort. Maybe I don't have that energy at the time the event comes...I guess then, we do the best we can, allow ourselves to learn. Listen to the teachings, but allow your own being to develop.
Observe that discomfort like an outsider don't judge it and then you'll be able to do things despite it and in time that discomfort will disappear. If you try to resist the discomfort or don't face it it'll always come up again. It's just your mind trying to find an 'in' to take you away from the present moment. Just observe it and it'll pass, it's about deeply accepting it but not engaging with the reactive mind.
"Loving what is"
This was very helpfull. Thank you
I don't need 6 cups of coffee a day, but I enjoy drinking them anyway.
One thing I don't agree with entirely, is the notion that if you imagine yourself in the future that you lose presence. I think we can consciously use imagination to make an image more vivid, I see it just as another way to think.
If we didn't imagine ourselves in the future, i would infer that a lot of innovation that we have, may not have transpired.
The key is to let go of what you imagined once you imagine it, for if at that point you hold on the presence is lost.
he explained this
again u are imagine It NOW
Philip Lazaro you can meditate every day on the future. And then live in the now :)
Neville Goddard says to live in the end. You enter the state and stay there. The thing is you end up being so happy in the present as your imagination carries you away
This video is also an expression of the work of awarness
Excellent answer
Thank you Eckhart
"Have you ever stopped to think and forgot to start again?" -Pooh
Very helpful. Needed to hear this.
You saved me!
I have found my guru 🙏
Thank You!
Thank you ❤️
The woman has such nice laughter😊 so cute
I bring the future into the now. As Neville says. Then live in the state. As time is an illusion. So your future self exists now anyway. So you’re still enjoying your lunch, walk, environment. Live in the end. And then live every day in the present moment.
Thanks
Today ,,i wanted to do some meditation ,,So when i closed my eyes a few moment later ,,i felt a weird sensation ,,like i am so big and vast ,,i didn't know where my position was.. it felt like i lost the touch with my body ,,That was so awkward and i wanted to open my eyes immediately ,,is that normal?
Yes, i think so. You were fully present by the fraction of second you felt that sensation, i believe.
Yes each time you get that feeling let yourself enjoy it a little bit more than the previous time gradually add time until u can enjoy that bigness
Could be your on your way to enlightenment !sadhguru jaggi vas
Did you feel light weight and sort of floating? If so, congratulations, you've reached full relaxation and that was your astral body 😁
Yes it’s normal. I have this too. We have energetic bodies and many other “bodies” and you probably came a little detached from just your physical body and this is normal! Xxxx enjoy it xxxx
i think Alan watts was additive to alcohol and he was a genious
World greatest being
And i am thinking, what if Jesus wanted to reveal himself in the form of Ekhart? Even better, i can hear Eckhart talking.
🙏❤️🙏
Still have a hard time understanding what He means to accept what is...
Paulo Junior I guess ‘what is’ is manifested it’s old news as Abraham says. Don’t resist it will persist. For example if you lose your job say ‘ok I accept that’ and as soon as you do things change.
Yes but also, if you loose your job you will probably feel sadness, anger and all sort of emotions! Acknowledge those feelings without adding thoughts to them i.e. «off course I lost my job, I´m useless!» Then you accept what is. Stuff WILL happen in this world, and by accepting our emotions about them, without adding thoughts, we can deal consciosly with the situation.
Eckhart Tolle talking about people being habitually late also adress the Germanness in him😂
Fillipino tradition to be late- it is
Yes, we are notorious for it, Filipino Time. lol
Ana Marie Reyes yes Po
He talked about Filipinos🤣🤣 We have what we call "Filipino time" which generally means starting a meeting late, going to school late, etc. lol Being late is unacceptable at work, but yes it does happen anyway😂
Nakakatuwang malaman na may kaibigan siyang Pilipino. Minsan naisip kong isalin sa wika natin ang katuruan niya dahil sa buhay ko ay nakapagdulot ito ng kabutihan
@@bridgetdino5848 kababayan!😆 oo nga, kaya lang karamihan ng pinoy nakakapag english din.
Oo ang laki din ng natulong sakin ni eckhart. Di to basta basta makita sa social media
I have to put the video on 2x speed when he starts talking 😅
Eckhart Tolle , it is better not to drink alcohol at all , not even one glas a day , showing the good example . Master Thich Nhat Hanh (RIP) did not drink toxic alcohol . Drink a glas of grapejuice , that is very good , but why do you need the alcohol-drug so much . I do not drink toxic alcohol .
Eckhart drinks coffee and wine good to know
Self meditation tip for myself - must reduce urge to guess bra size.
2 metres circumference.
For yourself or everyone on TH-cam? Would have been more funny if it didn't hinge on a time and culture specific detail. The banal nature of your gender based contemplation is supposed to contrast with the sincerity of people who care to meditate "well". Maybe if you directed the comment at the specific aspect of yourself that has this uncontrollable urge to mentally hone in on these proxies for intimacy, but it's not about that, it's about the feeling of power in being in a position of appraising a human being by compartmentalising them according to metrics that undergird traditional masculinity, aka thinking with dick. Thanks for the classic example of bro humor. I know it's shocking there's more to guessing bra size (although you date yourself. A) lots of girls don't wear bras now and b) circumference/size/something that used to stand in for a representation of worth, like guys and tallness or status or whatever, are no longer intrinsic qualifiers. Now that I live not in suburbia im exposed to a much broader idea of attractiveness but I feel sorry for girls who are still there and don't have access to other mindsets. //So I feel compelled to add to the dialogue, since this is a public arena I assume you made the comment for some reason not to yourself as you said twice.// your comment does have influence and that brand of appeal to lowest common denominator guilty thoughts have enough legacy to easily trigger a nostalgic appreciation for someone who says it "like it is" except it isn't, but seems like it to people who believe what they believe are facts about the world, not arbitrary cultural buildup absorbed by membership in the dominant social group.
Wow imagine if as a girl I said something like... "Fighting the urge to imagine the size of..." Some underwears (Calvin Klein boxer briefs to be exact) do have that brassiere architecture now to give the guys a little shape so yknow it's all hard to tell these days....."
Hey, baby steps. It's cool. Not going to play mean feminist. I took scientific interest in this comment which clearly means I'm in a bubble so I got to play out that thought experiment.
For everybody who answered this comment seriously: it was a f*ing joke. Develop some sense of humour please.
Eckhart najveci car, al ni ova matora nije za bacanje...
Lol, why do you need coffee Eckart 😂🤣😂
