    I was adopted and was therefore named twice, once when I was born, and then when I was adopted. I was named after my adopted mother, and it never really felt like my name. I had a very painful childhood as well. I was always painfully uncomfortable when people called me that name. My mother was very insecure about my being adopted, so once I was an adult, I never discussed it with her. When I was in my 40's I was able to access my original birth certificate, and found my name before, and I thought "yes, that's my name". I started using it informally and then last year I finally changed it legally, it's one of the best things I ever did for myself. A lot of that old pain has indeed dissipated along with that name.

      You had to change yo be loved and accepted 😢💔 That's really painful!
      Bless you.
      I am glad you have your first name and are much happier now 😊 😅
      Always loved and accepted yourself 😍🥰💖
      Amazing what names can do.
      I was always Francesca, then it changed to Frankie.
      My dad told me he liked Francesca and Frankie Fraser was the same name as a killer gangster.
      That was no good for me.
      All though I am ok with Frankie again now.
      For years I felt uncomfortable but I am comfortable with it again now.
      I am not my name. I love both names 😊💖

    My 4 year old daughter asked me, "Mama, can I change my name?". I instantly got the biggest smile and answered "Yes of course, what do you want to be called?", she said: "Fleur Fraise", which is French for "Flower Strawberry". It completely melted my heart and made me soo happy, and now she goes by the name "Aya Fleur Fraise". My 5 year old suggested we could use that name as a family name. I do have the want to change my name and I know it'll happen when the time is right. I do sense a worry about my parents reactions about me taking away their names. But at the end of the day, it's just names. Nothing is lost, only reborn.

And even when talking to others about her, I usually refer to her as Mum or even "the Mum" and my friends sometimes laugh, because it sounds like I'm refering to someone with a title, like "the King" :D
      Being a mother surely is the most wonderful and meaningful mission one can have, I wish you the very best fulfilling it!

    This guy is a true mystic. He didn't directly answer the question. But more importantly, he set the stage for why the change came about. i.e. It is not about the name change itself, but a whole slew of factors, including the burden he carried from childhood and the "synchronistic events" that naturally led to the change in moniker. We may refer to this mystic as Eckhart, but I think internally he still considers himself nameless and formless. True mystic.

The fact that he says the exact name in this context, when I am still waiting for my name, is....wild! Maybe I will be Anami now. I'll sit with it. So great!

Ich habe neulich gedacht noch bevor ich von seinem Traum hörte, er könnte möglicherweise als Meister Eckhart schon inkarniert gewesen sein... aber das würde er natürlich nicht aussprechen... die alten Bücher wären dann ein Hinweis darauf dass er uns bereits früher als Meister (master) besucht hat.
      Auch ich bin ihm unendlich dankbar für sein Erscheinen hier, und die große Liebe und Hingabe mit der er sich schonungslos seiner Aufgabe widmet. Das ist ein lebendiges Beispiel, a living example. Und das ist was wir alle werden sollen, denn wir sind Teil des selben Bewusstseins. 💎Danke, Meister Eckhart💎

    Officially my name was Constantia.
    After healing my trauma and my awakening, at 50 I started using my official name: Constantia. Not Conny anymore.
    It is just like you say.
    I was not that same person anymore.
    It was meant to be…

    When I became homeless and went to a city I had never been to before (by a calling from the heart), I knew a new name should show up for me, as a deep intuition was saying. But I knew it wouldn't come from my active choice.
    After some time I came to know some beautiful souls in that city. As they learn the story of how I ended up in that city, one young girl said to her mother: "he's so free that he seems like a little bird" (little bird in Portuguese is said "Passarinho"). Then out of the blue, she would meet me in the streets and instead of calling me by my name, she would just say "Hi Little Bird!" (Oi Passarinho!). Of course I knew immediately that was my new name. And it reminded me of the metaphor that was used some 20 years before, when my spiritual guide associated my personality with a little bird that was free to just let go and fly away.
    Eventually I came back to my "normal" life after a lot of unforgettable experiences in that city. But I didn't feel the need to keep that name to my old friends and colleagues. What I found in that city (rather inside myself) was enough to make me identify with the formless and the nameless. At a certain point, it wouldn't matter anymore what name I would adopt. The "little bird" stage was just that, a stage. And yet I'll never be anything other than the little bird.

    Eckhart is the only teacher I have found that knows about the Pain Body. As a person who is a strong emotional repressor and who had terrible emotional abuse as a child I have had a long history with it. I was able to release most of the repressed emotions using the release technique. I have found that there are spiritual entities living inside humans that have the ability to absorb images that our awareness sees and they play back these images to produce the rise of negative emotions and they feed off of these emotions. They drive people to create all kinds of harm to others and then the victimes and families then get fed on these spirits as they grieve, hate, etc. These spirits are pretty much a secret to the vast majority of the world.

    On the inability of being understood and loved by others, I wrote this poem in Dutch, but translated it in English afterwards:
    "The Glass Wall
    The Ancient Wall is shining through
    and I can see a glimpse of you
    that shows me you are near.
    The causal link of time and space
    extensive as the devil's maze,
    it seems to disappear.
    I try to take your hand
    and make you understand,
    but vain is my endeavor.
    So shall I just accept
    that you are to be kept
    apart from me for ever?"

    I delight in the humor in these talks. Cool perspective on names absorbing all the experiences in life and how shedding it can symbolize and be felt as a shedding of the old identities and stories. Also, really glad you stuck around and ultimately sought to liberate the self from the emotional and mental pain experienced through awareness, then guide those of us seeking the same. Lastly, fell in love with Glastonbury during an extended stay there; is quite possibly my favorite place I’ve been to so far on the planet. Can so see you living happily there.

    LOL at around 1:30 when Eckhart says having a name is easier than having no name, no form etc. reminds me of doing mediumship and often I see the spirits as blue light but in my mind they share an image of what they looked like at one time in their life sometimes which is a lot more evidential than me saying for example "yes your grandma is by your side now, she's a lovely little beam of blue light". 😂.....I mean I understand formlessness and unity and all but sometimes to navigate this 3D earth life some mode of identification is helpful...

      @@PremRohan He might not have fully-realised the Self in that birth, I don't think he's fully realised the Self in this one either.. until one is a Jnani, like Ramana Maharshi / Nisargadatta Maharaj, then there's re-birth. He's got very little mind / ego left though so he's much more spiritually advanced than most of us will be. If you read accounts of Jnani's on Self Realisation, they never sleep.. even if the body is fast asleep, they remain completely aware of their own existence. They live in non-duality, no duality what so ever. They are everywhere, within you right now.. There's no mind / ego at all, they describe it as pure peace and bliss. I've never heard Eckart describe the direct experience the way Jnani's do, which means he still has a subtle level of mind.. it's not completely died in the heart yet.
