      @yukio_saito Před rokem +14

      They are improperly configured to get angry. It's a initial setting for them. They stick to the default because they are unaware of what to change and how to change an option.

    When the connection with family is violent, you must step away for your own protection. Whenever I came to visit my sister, she would verbally strike out at me. When I got up to leave she would hit me . Many times she did this till at 65 when it happened again, I stepped away for my own protection. Took me a bit to understand why I seemed to provoke her. She’s very unhappy in her life and her jealousy and resentment of me was too much. I stepped away from my whole family. Now I have peace in my life. The Chaos is still there with them and I am glad I left it behind.

    I tried to fit in with friends & family for 30 years until eventually I came to terms with how stressed & dysregulated it made me feel. I couldn't truly be myself with them because they couldn't handle my difference. Through those years I questioned myself so much - am I avoidant/ anti-social/ what's wrong with me/ why can't I fit in/family & friends are important, shouldn't I make more effort ? This video is like balm to my soul. It helps me realise that there's nothing wrong with me just like there's nothing wrong with them, we're just on different paths and walking away is an act of self-love.

    Wow.. This came at such a right time for me. I have been struggling with my family’s expectations and their constant comparison of me with my siblings, in terms of money, career and investments.. so much so that I started resenting myself and my family. However, I have different priorities - I don’t know if I can call myself “spiritually awakening”, but I choose to earn only as much as I need to live well, and use the rest of my time to do the things that make me happy. We have limited time on earth, what is the point in going on accumulating wealth only to realise later “Oh my life is over, I didn’t get to do anything I wanted.” I think this is the big picture view.

In fact, they are sure sign that one's moving in the right direction away from artificial structures built by our collective egos and back to our true home.

    @lanodramallama Před rokem +70

    For a few years now I have been going through a very painful and difficult transition, after realising that my relationships were built almost entirely on guilt and obligation towards other people, which I suppose could be called people pleasing. I ended a perfectly 'good' romantic relationship, which was and sometimes still is tough. And I am working up to telling a very manipulative, possibly narcissistic, parent that I simply can no longer be who they want me to be. I'm not expecting it to go down well. But since the epiphany that kick-started this whole process, I cannot bear to compromise who I truly am anymore. To anybody struggling with this kind of transition, please know that it's OK, this is just you blossoming into the person you were meant to be on this journey, this is just you shedding the parts of yourself you no longer need. Yes, you may hurt other people in the process but to live authentically is way better than lying to others and yourself. Stay grounded, know thyself, and do your work, even when it's hard as hell. I believe in you 💪

    An idea I have been playing with recently is: never do anything motivated by trying to impress others.
    I think it holds true. If you work on yourself and be true to who you really are that is itself impressive. Doing things designed to impress is simping, the motivation is external, unstable and false. It can't become a habit, so be conscious about breaking that habit

    • @markfuller
      @markfuller Před rokem +4

      Even if you do impress someone/everyone, it's impermanent. It won't last. You just set the bar higher for the mask you have to wear and convince others is real.
      The great irony is that everything that makes us happy (in the traditional sense) is a source of suffering because it won't last. There was a story of a man with a beautiful crystal cup. He adored that cup, the way the light came through it. One day his elbow knocked it off the table, shattering. He said "of course." He had already accepted that his cup wouldn't last. He enjoyed every moment he had it without craving it, and then being disappointed when it didn't exist anymore. Its destruction was part of what it was the whole time, and he appreciated his cup with that awareness. (Most people would have extreme disappointment at breaking their cup, blaming themselves every time they think of it.).

    I am a people pleaser too. The reason is I do not want to offend others. As a child in a complicated upbringing where ancestors are domineering, the young has no say. Brought up to seek validation from others. To be respectful even if I am wronged. To be very good in studies. When I was injured, a relative even wanted to give me a beating. Up till today, I still deal with others who are poor listeners who misinterpret words and are over sensitive to conversations. If I want to make them realise why others do not like them no matter where they go, I must talk in a discreet manner. It is hard work. I do enjoy quiet moments on my own. I learn to stop seeking validation. I detach my emotions from many things and learned to let go. I cannot expect people to know what is basic human rights.

It's a uniqueness that they don't understand and are not riding our vibration or frequency. Just move on and be the Best that you can be!! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran...

    This is one of my favourite videos , it's so true. I don't see my family anymore as I can't be myself , I have to pretend to be something in not , which takes too much energy .!! I'm considered the Eccentric one , crazy . Actually I think I'm fairly sane in a mad world as I want to know who I am & why I'm here & what is this place? 🙏🌌🙏💙🙏💞

Eckhart Tolle has been a life changing, and hope bringing gift to us all. How VERY VERY blessed we who know about him are, Love and Light and Laughter to you all.

      When you are totally in the now, thoughts come to you but without judgement or opinions because those two things are tied to the present or the past. I do believe when I am truly present is when God speaks to me and I can listen and so any thoughts I have are coming from an awareness. I am learning the more I listen the words that do come out of my mouth are always the right ones for whomever is involved. My intention is always for the betterment. With Infinite Love and Gratitude, thank you for sharing.

    Excellent video, thanks.
    My family don't talk to me at all anymore! Parents or Sibling.
    So Narcissistic.. it's heartbreaking as I've tried so many times to move forward despite what they've done to me, but they are not interested! It started with my brother and then drive a wedge between myself and my parents by brainwashing them after distancing from them and then his kids aswell later on for 20+ years in total, but once he divorced decided he still didn't want to have ANYTHING to do with me but used his kids to drive the wedge between myself and my parents! It's pretty sick tbh. I'm now the outcast black sheep of the family through no Real fault of my own, (aside from suffering a bad run of bad luck which led to chronic depression, (which also led to my spiritual awakening 4years ago) but instead of family support to get through the hardship and Suicidal Depression, got blamed and cut off instead! Told to "go kill myself & do everyone a favour" (by my own brother!!) Who then came between myself and my parents.. so been totally alone for 3 years!
    But what can I do!? - They're not interested! It's so heartbreaking I cannot even put into words.
    I don't hold grudges (but they do) regardless it's their fault mostly.
    Anyhow, thanks for making me realise I'm not the only one who had these family issues!

    A social crisis like a pandemic, war or a natural disaster makes everything more clear. It speeds people up towards more suffering, which is the main propellant of getting enlightenment. All this anger that is so manifest today is actually a good sign that human life will be much better for those that are suffering. I's the collapse of egoisticly conditioned thinking in yet another huge wave of human evolution. Towards long lasting peace on every level. Meditate togheter as much as you can is my advice. Thank you Team Tolle!

      I want to commend you for saying something more thoughtful than "first!" :)
      Not sure I agree with your axiom. Usually "your future you deserves belief" turns into preoccupation with the future, believing enough, every little detail as rosary beads (a superstitious participation in something that isn't real, doesn't depend upon your belief for what it is -- or will be.).
      What does belief in your future you do for you (now, or then)? What happens if your future you doesn't get what it deserves? In some ways I can see a point to this. We can't be entirely disregarding of the future. It's responsible to brush our teeth in the present moment to avoid future dental bills & pain. Or, to save for old age. But, often reasonable thoughts/belief in the future are crowded out with idealizations, expectations, identifying with what will be in a way that isn't real (and crowds the present moment, so that we don't really live in it now. And, we didn't live in past moments because we were too bush giving this present moment what it "deserves" before it became real. You know?).

My Mother just turned 90 and although we speak several times a week and I feel quote connected with her, if we come together with my Sisters I can feel the distaste and unpleasantness in the air 😢 I suppose everyone wants and needs to feel valued by their family but my Dad was the only one who truly "got" me and now he has passed I feel this more deeply ♥️

      We all enter the material realm with roles to perform. They, along with the diverse energies of the material realm, catalyze our awakening.
      See the gift. It is hidden behind the appearances and the drama.
      From the energetic field of my father came the gift of meditation.
      From the energetic field of my mother came the gift of the destruction the ego, the gift of death.
      The suffering is within. It only appears to be caused by an outside agent.
