Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.❤
CAN YOU PLS EXPLAIN IT TO ME ,I THINK I UNDERSTAND BUT NOT COMPLETELY..THANKU
Sounds like Mr. Spock of Star Trek.
Real things can be threatened and destroyed. Pure co-operation and trust in a competitive, aggressive world is too naive. You'll get robbed and hurt. Be kind, but be careful.
Thank u for the reminder 🙏
@@isaac1572 That depends on your definition of real... In these teachings the world is not considered real, nor is your body or mind, only "infinite conciousness" is real, and that can't be hurt in any way... And you don't need to fully trust everyone, like he said in the video you can see the other person's personality and respond appropriately, it's the difference between responding and reacting, reaction comes from ego and response from your true nature... These are the teachings anyway, now find out if it is true...
“When you become defensive about something you have identified with an illusion .”Thank you 🙏🏽
So someone tries to grab your child, and you just stand there and do nothing because it is an illusion .?
@@sunshine-qk8qe you take the appropriate actions in the present moment. The more centred one is in the present moment the more acess to the power of now. Some are so connected with the now they avoid potential situations before they happen
@@sunshine-qk8qeYou are right that does not seem right. I think this is not advice for situations like that, but more for how you behave when an idea you believe in gets challenged.
Science proves we are all just energy zoom in as far as you can go the molecules are all, but empty space, empty space being a “human” is just being energy you can choose to be negatively charged or positively charged. The most powerful energy is from empty space. Remember this as you manifest your dreams become an observer
@@sunshine-qk8qe
🙏
Non-defending, non-resisting and total acceptance of whatever happens in the present moment... frees , detaches ourselves from the turmoils of emotions and thoughts... calms us, renders focus.....thereby giving us access to the Higher Intelligence or GOD , and more clarity is gained as how to "respond" intelligently n more effectively instead of just "reacting" in such dangerous situations as you mentioned .
i think this point is explained in detail in the chapter " Meaning of surrender " in ' The Power of Now '.
🙏🙏
I have been judgemental and I regret it 🙏💜🙏 I must forgive myself 🙏💜🙏
You need not judge yourself for judging, just do your best to see it for what it is and let go of it when it comes up.
So much wisdom… wish I could understand it all deeply… not so easy, but doing my best… Thank you Eckhart Tolle, always! 🙏❤️
It's easier said than done , as Elkhart says other people are our biggest challenge especially now A lot of humans are so cut off fcom there centre heart space. 💚🌿💚
Don’t worry, just let the words Eckhart speaks sink in ❤
In my defencelessness my safety lies❤
Only works if you are so insignificant that you are never noticed and challenged.
@@isaac1572 He is talking about the safety of your true nature not the body or mind, even if you die you're still safe because there is no death really, that doesn't mean you can't physically defend yourself if you want to stay alive...
@@Julio_Fiss I understand what you are saying, but I believe that consciousness only exists in a living, thinking brain.
All I know for sure, is that when I die, I'll stop wondering about reincarnation, verses heaven and hell, verses nothingness.
“The past has no power over the present moment.” - Eckhart Tolle
The wake of the ship doesn’t steer it! 😁
Rubbish
@@timothyammons9011 i have shown the way of a buddah for all ,its easy to stop thoughts and lay the mind down,i have explained in full in the messages,how to be a buddah
🤔. Yesterday I fell of my bike.
Today I have a pain in my knee ! 🤯. 😂😂😂
@@mikemoore1243 lmao, well played!
He’s speaking as untouchable Awareness though!
Of course one thing will seemingly flow into the next!
It’d be complete chaos otherwise!
Like a strange fractal dream where nothing makes sense…
Thank you for existing . I don't know how and where I'd have been if i had not found your revolutionary transforming presence
Exactly I love this man ❤
Tolle was meant to be this here now
The message is more important than the messenger....The knowledge has always existed.....
@@juancarlosquesada7074 but the way Eckhart transmitted it to a heart of stone like me is incredible
@@Cocoobean12 you will also become a mentor for others also in this life or the next...
The choice to judge rather than to know is the loss of peace.Judgement is applying concepts .When you meet another human being without imposing conceptualization
it doesn’t mean you become defenseless it just means you know the deeper reality of that human being . It means you don’t mistake someone’s personality & consciousness for who that person is. -Eckhart
"for who that person is"
@@deliaburdeyney4593Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes, that's a wee gem alright.
You need not leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, simply wait.
You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet
And still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you
To be unmasked. It has no choice;
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
-Franz Kafka
Awesome quote. Makes sense - Kafka had such a remarkable way of pointing out the absurdity of human striving!
@@brushstroke3733 .............. REmember .....
Eckhart doesn't teach us, he simply reminds us of what we already know.. To remember, to re enter the membership. To REmember!!!
Thank you dear sweet Eck ❤😂
My mind was racing... Racing .. I could only hold presents for a moment .. How long can the dark mind stay with the light .. 5 seconds .. Yes ... 10 seconds, it's better, 20 seconds, barely. Just holding presents for 30 seconds was too much light for that dark room of thoughts!
Can I focus to obtain consciousness and hold it for 30 seconds? As much as my mind says NO ..... I can!
Namaste
@@recordgirly2567 Who is the one trying to become conscious? Isn't consciousness already conscious and aware of that one? Awareness needs do nothing to become aware. It is the imagined person who imagines it is going to become conscious.
@@brushstroke3733 that's a tangle web of thoughts! The ultimate goal is no thought, that's where presents is. Where the observer, your soul is. But just jumping to no thought (especially here in America with consent busy thought streams) is next to impossible for most. So the "work out" is necessary to train the mind ... that the Observer is in charge. Focus on breath, soon thoughts will come, the moment you become "aware" that you're back to thoughts BLAM that awareness is the Observer!! But the mind is powerful with a lifetime of control, and will quickly take back over. But that's ok ... bring it back away from the thoughts to the breath over and over.
Picture doing curls, when the weight comes up you're in thoughts, consciously lower the weight and bring it back to the breath, over and over AND over ... It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and took me weeks of "training" before just alittle "shift" of starting to be in control of the mind with longer and longer periods out of thoughts. I'm not going to kid you, it takes a while and oddly, learning to have relaxed focus is difficult, kind of like a tug of war. In a few weeks I started to see progress and after several months I started to have control over my meditations with longer and longer moments in presents. Hopes this helps!
Eckhart our saviour
No he isn't. He is a Teacher of Mindfulness. There are no saviors
The problem is that other people's illusion of you is SO different to your own. So it's interesting to hear that even your own version is fictitious.
Food for thought.
Ich könnt mir das stundenlang anhören und ich tu es auch. Vor allem als Mittel zur Selbstregulation. Dankbarkeit ❤
Es geht - dankenswerter Weise- über Selbsregulation, d.h. das Selbst hinaus...
IN these Times. Truly we needed this video.
Thank you, just in time, I had just tearfully written an email to a friend where I felt misunderstood. I saw a flower bud on one of my trees afterwards and my faith in the world was restored. Thank you Eckhart.
So beautiful! What a wonderful combination: words of God read by such a pure human being. Touches my heart deeply ❤
It is always important to be reminded that non of this is real. One instantly throws weapons away and once more rejoys the just energy field.
We earned him :) he’s the kindest.
My uncle got me into your videos and I live near Vancouver. I love your videos many of them reflect issues I struggle with
0:27
When you are defensive, you have identified with an illusion.
The truth of who you are doesn't need to be defended.
In my defenselessness, my safety lies.
Thanks Eckhart. 14 July 2023.🤡🔦⛩🤠🐓🚣♂️🌴😇👍
Thank you so very much. These truths touched me, in a place and time, that was exactly what I've been praying for... to not judge myself or others. This is perfect, as I finish my visit with my precious daughter ❤️
Thank-you Eckhart! 💜
Read A Course in Miracles guys! It is truly an astonishing and Divine filled book.
There must be many editions. Kindly suggest the original one
@@Cocoobean12The original edition is the blue book by the Foundation For Inner Peace. But the best edition is the Circle of Atonement; it’s the unabridged course and also has cross references to the Bible. I have both editions but I don’t even open the Foundation for Inner Peace anymore.
I have zero believe in a Devine.
Read it if you want just don't get caught up in repeating the lessons every year thinking it's going to get you someplace. Forget the busy work, you already are what you seek. Forget seeking.
@@oneseeker2 neither does the course :) it is a non-dual teaching, so no god and no creation.. Though it uses those terms as if goes back and forth speaking to the two parts of our mind.. and I even this is just a framework that helps mind get to know it's own workings, there really is no split, no wrong mind no right mind ( or ego and christ). if you ever happen to come across a copy and feel at all compelled, check out the clarification of terms. And if that happens to intrigue you at all, check out Ken Wapnick. Both will describe what acim means by god and why it even uses Christian language at all. Obviously though that's no need of you don't feel drawn to it.. As ACIM itself says, it's just one framework among many that lead to the same experience. ACIM is great, truly brilliant, at helping mind to understand the psychology and purpose of the ego, and to start to dissolve the illusory barriers. The language is a challenge to many, myself included initially. But my guess is its helped many Christians to work through the guilt imbedded in the Bible. Maybe not at many as hate acim deeply sacrilegious, which is also quite understandable, considering!
Thank you Eckhart 🙏 Is a present of God every video that you post 💙.
Thank you for share with the world your widsom.💫
Thank you, Eckhart.

I Love you Eckhart..♥️🙏☮️
infinitely thank 🙏 for giving us the most profound Freedom and Truth.
Priceless GIFTS 💓🙏✨
This one hit “In my defensiveness my safety lies.” To which he said “You’re safe already” that one hit deep. I know it’s true yet I’m having a hard time realizing it’s true.
What are you gonna do when someone insult your Mother and/or Father? Do you just take or do you defend your folks?
Joking about Parents has always been a Hard line for me.
@@Imthesoulofthes I’m gonna do something
Thank you Eckhart. Much needed to hear this. ❤

Lovely… just lovely.. thank you.
Gratitude 🙏🏽❤
I started reading ET a few weeks ago and a lot has changed already ... I can see now how judgmental and defensive I've always been, my ego's need to feel superior. It's not a comfortable feeling. Before this I want to say I was completely unaware of this. Does this happen to most people?
Yes it does. Most people never awaken to their inner lives.
You are awakening. Congratulations!!
I Heard The Name Eckhardt Tolle a few Times but this is The First time seeing him or Hearing, Reading what He has to give. I cant speak for other Nor do i want to but what i can say Out of experiences i Made douring my Journey, i will happily give. I judged a Lot even people i have never spoken to. May it be because of their Actions, Something someone told me about them even If i never saw them doing this or that, their Looks or whatever you can think of. And i See it nearly all around me. I See it in my thoughts while observing them. Sometimes i know exactly were it comes from, Name it and that is The hard Part getting it Out of me or at least lower The Volume of it. Yeah The Ego Drives a Lot of behaviors and Feeling better then Others has a somewhat uplifting Feeling in it. But we arnt Lifting us Up with it, we Put others down with it. That is so irrational and at The Same time irritating because at some Point we will be Put down with them too. That is Not The way i want to Go Nor do i want to direct Others at this way. A Lot of inner Work, healing and observing to do.
Definitely 😂
Very common.
Thank you 😊
Unless we are solving a logical problem, like cutting a board or a math problem, with our intellect, everything else is either imagination or past memories in our mind. Eckahart is a wonderful person.
So true!
Muchísimas gracias!!!❤🙏😊
Defensiveness is ego… In my defenselessness, my safety lies… you are safe already❤
Thank you 🎉
♥️✨🌹 Thank You Eckhart
Thank you!! ❤
I tend to judge people as being judgemental, but I guess that makes me judgemental of judgemental people. 😂😂😂
Hahaaa yes me too!!!! Judgemental people trigger me with their constant judging others etc
But yes in the end iam judging their judging behaviour😂
Beautiful
Good topic.
Thankyou❤❤
Thanks
I totally understand 😊
Everything about the way we live is backwards. We are taught to defend our ego and extend it and also to love it and than we are miserable with all our ego extensions.
Gracias querido maestro por no necesitarte :)
When a person judges me I try to not react or be defensive over it, because the person who is judging me is the one with the problem; yet if they grow violent and want to do me harm I got no choice then but to switch in to survival mode and defend myself. It's logical to do so and we cannot bow down to all the evil wrong doings on this world. Sometimes we just got to fight for what we love, even if it means for ourselves our families our friends or our pets. It's a part of our nature, and God gave us that right. Other than this I shall keep the peace in my heart for everything that is good on Earth.
Once you reached a certain level of consciousness it is impossible for those situations to come into your reality anymore 😇 simply won't happen
@@DaniMystic9I hear you Dani, but I still beg to differ, because the bad ones who operate at very low frequencies can still bringforth evil into our reality. I'm a very peaceful man and I have never ever laid a finger on anybody or any animal in my life. And yet a couple of times I did have to defend myself against violent thugs. I am going through a spiritual awakening process myself and I'm more or less my higher self at this stage, but I am always aware of the wrath of man. Hence, I am a man, and I know exactly how evil men think. But what do you think about Wars my dear, and how evil tyrant's subjugate peoples, and use deadly forces against them. Who protects all the women and children in them circumstances. It does be good soldiers, men and women, who sacrifice they're own lives for everyone's freedoms. It is just a harsh reality of life.
Dani, I disagree completely, your words are untrue, fiction.
@@oneseeker2 If that perspective is serving you, I won't take that away from you. Of course you think like that because you cannot perceive what you don't believe. For me and many others, this is a reality. 😁 Truth does not need defending.
@@stephenflood3463 I understand what you are coming from completely. I had these same exact questions. However. The evil people you are talking about, how much % are they TRULY interacting in your reality? You see them mostly through the screen, the black mirror. Yes I have seen those thugs and bad people too, but in my personal life I am not an energetic match to problems, negativity and negative people anymore. I seem to just be at the right time at the right place and have mastered the energetic state to avoid situations like that. You can still see suffering through the screens, if you focus on it even through talking with a friend, but it is not YOUR reality anymore. However, they are not directly in your reality, in your NOW moment, are they? When you do get robbed or meet a thug, it means that there is some pattern inside of you that judges, doesn't accept or resists something in that person and shadows in yourself or it is meant to be to teach you something. If you find out what that pattern is, you transcend it and the situation will dissapear from your life. It is learning to resonate differently. They cannot touch you anymore, like oil separates from water. That's what true spirituality is, frequency! Also, if you feel called to interact with those realities on the screen it is your calling and go follow that. When we resonate differently we can still interact with others but in a positive state, we are untouchable for lower frequencies. Harm cannot be done. This is not about ignoring other realities, but including them in your consciousness.
شكراً لك
As the Father loves me so have I also loved you, remain in that love so that my joy maybe in you and your own joy maybe complete.
This is my commandment. Love one another just as I have loved you.

Peace be with you

EDITING TEAM: Judgment. Not Judgement
Thank you Eckhart. You are a blessing kind sir. Namaste
Judgement is the correct spelling.
@@annarichardson8222 Judgment, (no 'E')= US.
Judgement, (with 'E')= UK.
Both are used in Australia🤔.

It 's from the" Course in Miracles " ET is quoting it.
Hahaha, he is a wise man but these words are taken from the course in miracles
@@mellifergold lol thank you I was confused about what the course in miracles was.. I was going to look it up
@@Kundalini_Goddess It' s a channeled book. The woman ( university lecturer) who felt moved to write it down, did not fully understand or believe in all of it herself ( is reported )
...Like ET said in the beginning of this video : it' s as big and fat as the Bible...
Some love it and have made it their bible ( for Marianne Williamson - to name only one prominent follower, it was very important), others are taking bits and pieces out of it, and there are of course those who don' t like it at all. The discussion whether it is an important classic of the spiritual library or rather a new age fling is not closed yet... See for yourself !
Best wishes !
He was on another show and he said he never read the course of Miracles. Now here he is quoting
Beutiful parole🥰🥰
Goooood
Being bombarded with visual sensual stimulation those persons can stop judging and criticizing 'emselves and then objectively observe objects of wish or need. Comparing to what they see no judgement betters the perception and... shaping the personality in moment of knowing.
I like it❤
Thank you, Eckhart Tolle and team, for the awakening seeds left in each video!
I have a question about wars. For example, the war that between Russia and Ukraine. Should the invaded country not make judgments and not react? I believe that most people in the world (our brothers and sisters) are against war and in favor of peace but what to do when someone decides to invade our country, kill our family and friends, including children?
Many, many thanks!
Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.
Nice
Nice vedeo
Good
How timely with Mars ingressing into Virgo
✌️
Even though we understand your thoughts regarding the Course In Miracles book, there seems to be a possible "flaw", if you will, in your teaching. You said to your audience "you don't need it", referring to the book. Our understanding is that no one actually"knows" what another individual needs or doesn't need regarding their individual spiritual path. 🙏🙂
Ur ego decided who was right, who was wrong. Good for you.
@maelmitchell7207 Eckhart only said you don't "need" the book if you already understand the underlying concept summarised at the start of it: "nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists"... altho maybe one could find pointers to deepen one's current level of spiritual awareness within those pages? Either way I wouldn't like to judge you as being right or wrong, especially as that was the whole focus of this video lol 🤗🙏🌈
good
Truth will win...is winning...unconditional love...is the only way...love the person not what they do...and do defend yourself against those who want to harm you or anyone. Ya think???
At the last part of the video saying, knowing someone is having disfunctional and deep unconscious as his or her personality is not a judgement. You just see that. Can u please guide on dealing with those kind of people if they are family members?
If you're reading this, you're truly special. You have an incredible ability within you - the power to achieve anything you set your mind to. Believe in yourself, work hard, and stay dedicated to your goals. Remember, nothing is impossible when you have passion, determination, and a little bit of faith! Go out there and show the world what you're capable of. You've got this! - ButterflyAwakening 🦋🦋🦋

I don't know why but this _Miracles_ ' course reminds me of _Animal Farm_ by George Orwell 🗝️✨✨✨
Both use words and are printed on paper and then bound into books. Could that be the connection?? 😂
@@brushstroke3733 For You I guess so... ;).

It would be very helpful if he shared the book he was reading ☺️
The book is called A Course In Miracles
⬆️..and he does say so ( several times) - it is also in the titel of this video..⏰
And it is an incredible and wonderful book too!
A Course in Miracles !
What is the little pamphlet that Eckert is reading from? Obviously, they are excerpts from a course in miracles, but that’s a tiny book he holds in his hand.
