    About Eckhart Tolle
    Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine, a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening includes transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.
    Eckhart Tolle is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and the highly acclaimed follow-up A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time.
    About The Awakening of Consciousness
    Eckhart Tolle believes that something new is happening in human history: a vast number of people are starting to awaken spiritually, through the power of the present moment. Though teachings about presence have been at the core of spiritual practice throughout human history, it is only in the aftermath of the age of rational thought that we are now ready on a large scale to embrace the “true sanity” of living in the Now. Recorded in front of a live audience, join Eckhart Tolle in a three-hour journey to liberation from the endless cycle of ego-thinking in The Awakening of Consciousness.

    I am very interested in the moment that I wake up. It is exactly as he said. It's extremely peaceful. Then before you know it, the mind takes over.

      Yes and I don’t know is it just the thought patterns in my head that arises but they appear to be very intensive now when the presence has taken more room. Like there is so much more presence now in me, awareness of me and the mind, and yet somehow the mind still takes over in more intense matters than before. Of course these are just thoughts here but I think the mind gets scared and that it why it tries even harder to take over. And the emotions, mostly fear, that have been more intense than ever in my life. I’m aware of it only being emotion and not me or not anything that perhaps even real. But it is intense at times and of course the mind joins in and here we are again 😬🤪😌.

      “Each individual is an Expression of the Collective Consciousness of Humanity and the Collective Consciousness of Humanity is an Expression of ONE Universal Consciousness”-Eckhart Tolle
      You are not an individual; you are part of the vast mind of man.
      When you realise this fact,
      You enter into an extraordinary world.
      You are the entire humanity -- krishnamurti
      You are an image based on experience, a soul mind and an Ego created by that image.
      This is a illusionary image created by dreams and ego.
      Otherwise; the image is a dead thing -- Jiddu krishnamurti
      You are not your mind -- Eckhart tolle
      Nor are you nor your mind -- Buddha
      You are awareness. Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is presence: consciousness without thought - Eckhart tolle
      You are Individual only because of the ego.
      Because; the ego creates separation, and separation creates suffering -- Eckhart tolle
      Otherwise; our separation of each other is an optical illusion of consciousness - Albert Einstein

    I'm so happy that i'm no longer being tormented and tortured by my thoughts. I remember a thought that really made me suffer the most "no one in this entire earth can be suffering more than myself" and that almost led me to suicide.

      I love listening to Alan Watts. One CZcams video of him talking back in the late 60's he was talking about some kind of radio frequency in the future that would allow everyone to connect on computers that have evolved to fit on the size of a desk. This was the late 60's and he was talking about the INTERNET!!!

    The mind is a tool.... not YOU! Do NOT think that your mind is in control, YOU are in control of your mind, takes practice to change habitual thought patterns, especially about the self, but it is necessary or it freaking takes over you. The only thing you ever have ANY control of is your current thought, THINK DIFFERENTLY and this new way of thinking will be established.... the mind is like a mindless radio that's constantly going.... use intention on your thoughts, awareness of the radio is key! Light and love to all!

    The Power of Now was for me a very important book. I have listened to Eckhart speak in a number of CZcams videos now, and I have wondered if he is at all an Hegelian because I believe I can detect elements of Hegel's philosophy in Eckhart's discussions. Can anyone address this question? Was Eckhart influenced by Hegel at all?

    @ertansaygi Před 8 lety +16

    Approximately a month ago, I hit a point that a wheel in my mind stopped...Total silence...It freaked me out although i felt relieved. I was like floating...Totally aware of the environment but felt like i've dumbed down. But I was not...Then during the day i've lost it gradually (as i considered it as a problem I tried to turn back to normal and after a couple of hours the wheel in my mind started working slowly again)...
    I want that back now :) But I don't know how I got there in the first place.

    • @ferdinandalexander8053
      @ferdinandalexander8053 Před 7 lety +1

      If you know it stopped then thought was very much there. This is the problem with the majority of teachings. That which is now or ALL or whatever word works for you has not need for teachings. Does it make sense that you have to get to where you are now? Does it make sense that you have to become what you are now? Any effort you make to get where you think you want to go it keeping you from being there now.

    • @ertansaygi
      @ertansaygi Před 7 lety +1

      No, it's not a state that can be told in words. Because it's the first time in my life that i fully experienced "relief" and "emptiness" in my mind. "Void" if you will...It was like as if a wheel was turning at the background and suddenly it stopped for a brief 4-5 hours. I first heard how noisy my mind was in silence...
      And as i embrace the change, my current status (back to normal) doesn't bother me. I don't seek a form or force anymore. I try to flow with the current. (And i now know how i got there but it worked for that part of the experience. "Now" is another moment and same steps don't apply in this moment and it's not about a state of mind. I don't want to return to any particular state anymore.)

    • @ferdinandalexander8053
      @ferdinandalexander8053 Před 7 lety

      If you "experienced" then you were there. Experience requires division. Thought creates division. Life, now, presence, call it whatever you like, it's an undivided wholeness. Thought is quite clever and can interpret an experience to be profound but that doesn't make it so. Even ET is left interpreting his experiences through thinking. Whatever happened to him, if anything was likely just for him and was not intended for anyone else or to be monetized.

      Thought is knowledge, information that has been put into you. Tell me about a feeling without the use of that knowledge. What is the feeling? Who's feeling it? When? Where? You must use the knowledge that has been put into you by society in order to contemplate any of these things. You can only play back what has been put in. Even ET spends most of his time quoting "others", using knowledge that he accumulated from "others".
