Thank you, Eckhart for your infinite wisdom. Your teachings and presence have changed my life. 🙏
❤thank you for publishing this book. Completely and utterly changed my life ❤
What a beautiful explanation that feels true. Listening to Eckhart is almost like experiencing childhood again, because when we were kids, we were the most present and in tune with the Universe...
the force is strong with this one..!
SWEET AZ !!!
I realized that the Energy and Force are two different things 💜
"The Universe DELIGHTS In CREATION And CREATIVITY......In Experiencing ITSELF Through The CREATION....."...Thankyou Beloved Eckhart Tolle Sir.......
I'm crying. The most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Love him and his way of expressing his thoughts
This is one of the most valuable Eckhart Tolle videos on the web
Tolle's description reflects chaos theory (natural law), the theory of complexity (natural law) and the "principle" of spontaneous order (natural law ) which reflects the outward impulse of creating (unpredictable) and a returning, to self-soothe (handle that stress). I love the "Playful participation in the world of form without being lost in the doing, unrooted from spaciousness within." I seek to be in constant contact with the formless essence of the universe
The power of now, leaving calender based rituals behind. Always enjoying the now. Aloha, for now! Love
Eckhart is pure love. Thank you for posting. We all need to express the love this man shares with us. We are all connected not separate.
"The Universe DELIGHTS In CREATION And CREATIVITY......In Experiencing ITSELF Through The CREATION....."...Thankyou Beloved Eckhat Tolle Sir.......
You already said that, sir
Love u mr.eckart tolle, ur talk makes me comfortable and more understand toward my self and being, thank u
Love, love, love. Beautiful! Thank you so much, Eckhart Tolle! Especially love, "Create without losing itself" and "....realization of the formless essence..."
The problem is not doing the problem is doing too much. Lots of people in life force them selves to do things they don't want to do and when they die they regret that they werent doing what they wanted. Life is about doing what you love and also not to force things or control things. Let the things unfold themselves that is true harmony.
No matter how hard you try to understand the teachings which Eckhart's are offering,u will failed, until u realize its not about understanding rather than feeling what he says.
or enlightenment
Hahaha. You sound so stupid. You will never understand reality through feelings only through logic and reason and the astounding success of science has proven that.
@@animusutimperiumk8575 .The astounding success of science hasn't found the formula for peace in one's life yet. Yet we seem to think egoic logic will save the Human race. That kind of logic will lead to an explosive end. If you use impartial logic when listening to a spiritual teacher what the genuine teachers are saying makes perfect sense. But on a much deeper level. But, unlike science, where numbers and equations can give you the proof you need, realizing your true nature can only be experienced. All teachings that teach of who you are at your essence by-passes mundane egoic calculations, and get to the core issues of exsistance. Which all of humanity's geniuses could never explain. I know you responded hoping to stir the shit up. But I sense you are genuinely seeking. This teaching can point to that placed in you, that will end your seeking. Peace.
Really? I can understand him.
Teachings are meant to be understood not felt.
(We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin).
That was an amazing understanding that I had, so many people two eyes a nose and a mouth, we each look, so very different.
What he is speaking is the nature of the Universe as described by the scriptures in ancient India. A person has a soul which is a part of the divine consciousness. The body is material which differentiates but consciousness is eternal which integrates.
Once we know this true consciousness and link with each other at that level, we forget that a person is black or white, rich or poor, greedy or needy because all that involves our body form in some way or the other.
When we look at ourselves as not what we look in the mirror but what we really are from inside at soul level we see our truer self. And when we see that self in others we understand that nothing is different and its all the same.
Everything you talk about is miccha ditthi (wrong view). There is no such thing as a soul nor divine consciousness, everything is impermanent and non-self. The only 'task' is to bring out cessation of the five khandas.
Abhishek "The body is material which differentiates but consciousness is eternal which integrates." That's a great sentence.
It sounds good but it is fundamentally flawed. Consciousness isn't eternal, it arises due to causes and conditions, and when those causes and conditions are no longer present it ceases. I recommend reading these pages from Ajahn Brahm's book 'Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond'. The annotations are included if you want to check the various Nikayas to see what the Buddha actually said about these matters (Eckhart and many other modern teachers like to quote the Buddha, and most of them steal the majority of their teachings from Buddhism, but they don't penetrate deeply enough, and this is one of the several areas they remain ignorant of).

Interesting. I find it agreeable enough to observe the temporal nature of a mind's fleeting presence in time, as pointed out by Nidāna Saṃyutta in that link; and fair enough to say that the body may have more relative permanence than the changing mental identity in time. However, I disagree with the implication that physical reality would have more permanence than spirit. The source of life as a spiritual essence supersedes other forms of being mentioned, as spirit comes before matter and is the source of creation. When people like Eckhart Tolle speak of "consciousness" I believe they mean to convey something of the self which is more closely connected to that spiritual source of life than is the physical body. Because while the physical body may have more stability within a temporal reality, it also has greater limitation, as it is defined mainly by that reality, rather than the mind which can be determined more by the spirit which resides primarily outside of that reality's limitations. ...At least those are my own musings on the subject. Think what you will.
Hi Keith. I understand what you are saying, but you need to be careful when using concepts like 'spirit' or 'cosmic consciousness' or 'eternal consciousness' etc. All of these terms are essentially the same thing, creative creations of the ego, so that it can believe it will exist in perpetuity (in complete happiness no less!). Anyone using these concepts has yet to fully penetrate non-self (Anatta) which is one of the key factors of stream-entry (the first stage of enlightenment). Unfortunately Eckhart is 'guilty' of the same mistake that many meditators and yogis have made over the millennia. What makes it difficult to see, is that the meditative absorption's are extremely profound experiences, and involve states where one feels 'infinite consciousness' and 'one with the universe'. So when Eckhart and Ramana Maharishi and others talk about these things, they are speaking the truth, which is what makes it so difficult to argue with. However, they are only speaking partial truth (or proxy truth), they have yet to go deeper. If they continued on the same path of letting go that took them to their partial realisations then they would see EVERYTHING disappear. Everything is causal and non-self, even the stream of consciousness between lives (Citta) which seems perennial but is not. The fact that these partial realisations that sages like Tolle and Maharishi have understood, are so far beyond the conception of the average person, makes the mistake all the more difficult to spot, because people like Eckhart do really seem to be in possession of esoteric knowledge.
This is why the Buddha said that without the guidance of another enlightened being (Ariyan) one would be unable to truly break the 'eggshell' and become enlightened, because there are these tricky cul de sacs that people get caught in, and without an enlightened one telling you "Yes that is a profound experience you've had...now let it go and go deeper...let the 'knower' go, let 'spirit' and the ground of all being go'....keep going till cessation...."without someone guiding you in such a fashion, you will never get there.
Your work and wisdom inspired me through the years to fulfil my dreams - Thanks you & Happy New Year !
This is a life changing explanation. Absolutely amazing sir!
Purpose of the universe. 1. Express itself in endless forms. 2. Obtain consciousness in this world. Basically, the universe wants to experience infinity while attempting connected to the whole. One becoming many while many are still one.
Wow that was deep!!!
Agree although consciousness doesn’t obtain. It is already conscious but it just wants to play using the universe
Ah.....Science of Mind and Transcendental Meditation. Excellent.
Yes the best book ever read in my life
Thank you EExkhart for the explanation of a frequency holder. I have given myself that name in the beginning of this year
Greatest book ive ever read
The Power Of Now...is about each and every individual who is ready (conscious) for it. Don't concern yourself about others...just yourself! Happy thoughts!
Facts!
Thank You
HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!
Thank you.....
Eckhart's favorite album, Be Here Now, by Oasis.
myreddays and also ram dass's favorite "get a grip inside!!!"
Do not become a sponge of everything Eckhart says, he will push you down the correct path but he cannot carry you the whole way. He helped me when I needed it most but do not use his words as a crutch. This type of knowledge cannot be taught it must be acquired.
Ballsac Deluxe explain yourself please
What he’s saying is partly true, spiritual awakening is unique in all cases and it happens when it’s supposed to happen not when the ego wants to be enlightened, watching Eckhart’s videos won’t get you to proper awakening because you are just using the mind to try and understand enlightenment, don’t take one persons words as fact,what Eckhart is explaining is solely experiences from his enlightenment process which is not the same for everyone
thanks a lot to "New World Library" for sharing this video and a happy 2014!
1.the universe delights in creations
sea,air,oceans,
delights in experiencing itself through all forms
2.outward movement:becoming,inward movement:being fully who I am
gratitude for manipura chakra for helping society to realize that sixteen year olds sometimes have a lot of wisdom and poetic zen subtlety. May more mature spiritual books be available to teens under 18 especially from parents. Conversations with GOD by Neal Donald Walsch is a great manipura chakra book that washes away anachronism from some ancient texts to clarify the unity of a vision of love and zen found in all faiths. This process of making the essential more easy to see and removing animosity is a quality of manipura. Many good manipura books were released in the early 2000s, wise for society to seek a vibration similar to those times.
may manipura continue to serve us with the cleanliness efficiency and wisdom that it did in early 2000s before 2010.
thank you celestial energy
Enjoyed this audiobook-thanks! I have a video where I talk about how his books transformed me ,while 3 years incarceration..Staying Positive During Hard Times/ I Get Personal
Attempt to asnwer this question just blew me away.
....I am too small and very limited, therefore I'd rather stay humble and admit my ingorance.
All my respect for your comment. We humans are extremely limited, in every sense, have been around this (young) planet for a very short time and not able to recognize anything similar to the "truth" concerning our life, the "universe" or "cosmos" or any other entity we try do define. I think it's useless to theorize and to look for explanations, trying to grasp some "truth", I prefer to just live, as other animals do, and try to enjoy our really short stay on this planet.
Ciao
Claudio
By creating one can also experience the now
Awesome...
Truth is that we do not know that the universe has a purpose, let alone what that purpose might be. But Mr. Tolle's followers are free to believe what ever makes them happy and makes a profit for Mr. Tolle.
Bs
be and do at the same time.....divine purpose of the universe=to know itself through creation of form and realisation of essence....
Amazing.. I get it a bit more now :/
Great!!
Did anyone notice the woman sitting behind the lady with the question? The one with the card on her forehead?
Haha yes???
i wonder why
William Brooks lmao that's so random
William Brooks that's The head band from Naruto
The purpose of the universe is to achieve a present balance between doing and being.
Tatva and lila.
Om and dharma.
Form and formless.
you are such a beautiful human mate
SO THERAPEUTIC, we have a past ,present, and a future. Some are stuck in the past, some stuck in the future. The present is too confusing to some. All legal and binding by the smartest Canadian there is Mr. Tolle. It's all I had. Enjoy the time machine.
3:05 - 3:12
Hahah, best 7 seconds of Eckhart ever.
The Great Book..."The Power Of NOW".....
so awesome...much love...Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO
It's all about being in now u have to be aware
Sahil Rajpal It is also about awareness. I am not the thinker but the observer or watcher of the "thinker". Consciousness awareness. The observer does not judge, or label and has no identity...it just observes...and that is the God self. Try observing without thinking and you're there.-the Zen Diaper
bjobotts yes absolutely right.
This model of the Universe is delightful, however Eckhart seems to describe it almost as if the Universe is a giant mega-ego. I don't believe the Universe 'wants' anything. It just simply is.
The Divine qualities of Sat-chit-ananda cannot be revealed without taking on the form of the temporal Universe and in the process illusionizes (The Hindus call it Maya) itself as individual life forms. In that sense Maya could be called as mega-ego. Without that we as individual life forms become nonexistent. Similar to a microcosm, the Ultimate too can be thought of as passing through Deep sleep(Total dissolution of the Universe) and samadhi(enlightenment). That is the way it is.
@@Grateful2Life The way it is is Love and Maya is Love. All the known and the unknown is Love. The perceivable and the unperceivable is Love.There is nothing else
"Could you please explain what the devine purpose of the universe is?" Sure.... 🤣
No problem for Mr. Tolle though!
Is there any Chinese here? His book does help me. Before I never realize how much time I just live in my mind of past and future but not now. Really free me somehow.
who talks dont know & who dont talks Knows......hit the nail on the head...than going round and round...! simplify it..!
I heard Thich Naht Hahn teach many times and someone asked him the meaning of life/ cosmos.He replied why does it have to have a meaning?
Can somebody explain to me what it means to be identified with thoughts and emotions? I would appreciate it greatly.
It's the false identification of ego, with the mind. We are not our mind, we are eternal spiritual being
The comment section mostly consists out of three types of comments:
1. Those who state that it is impossible to understand what he is saying, but rather feel it.
2. Those who say star wars references or connect him to the force or Yoda.
3. Those who try to sound smart by stating oxymoronic sentences or clever sounding contradictory sentences. (Yes John, I am referring to you :P )
John is right
this kind of creeps me out because it makes me feel alone I want to feel in the presence of another being.
Staci Osorio ah. That right there will be your journey. Start right there.
Understand you’re we’re created strong enough to be alone, to handle it all. The higher being’s (universe) strength is in you, but it starts with positive thinking & doing & trusting the universe
How does he know that the universe wants us to become more present
Hi shay!
💖
I always wonder why. Why is it the divine purpose of the universe to know itself?
Without speaking of the universe. You as a human what do you like the most in life ? To find it, didn't you have to know/follow/trust yourself ?
And when you're suffering don't you ask yourself why am I suffering ?
And then when you realise what makes you suffer, don't you want to change it ?
If you don't realise yourself, how can you move on ?
Experience... the many computations and combinations and evolution.. but mayb e man kind's experience to to live from true self so man kind can live harmoniously... maybe we shed our knowledge of our divinity so we can enjoy the road back while in the illusion of separateness.. I don't know.. every thing needs a hobby or purpose.. 'to know one's self' seems as good explanation as any. Some would say there is no divine purpose.. but I like thinking there is.
Skot Bi
I do a course called Avatar.. and it teaches that I am not a victim, so I have some responsibility in attracting the suffering, and gives us tools to discover and discreate our part in creating our suffering (and contributing to the collective consciousness). It's pretty powerful, so yes, I ask myself why am I suffering, then find out and do something about it without having to blame anyone or get revenge. Just handle the belief/vibration that's attracting it to me..thanks for posting.
The essence that is you, which animates the entire universe is true unconditional love. You are willing to experience everything that you're not and to absolutely forget who you are, in order to know yourself fully. The one asking why, is the thinking mind which is that what you are not. It can never experience true contitional love, because it does not truly exist, it is just a bundle of thoughts. Only you can know yourself as the eternal one conscioussness. Calm the mind and you will know for yourself.
its not worth thinking about
"Everyone and all forms of life are God" - the mushroom
What else can you say with a speech like that....:}
How does 44 people dislike this video y'all gotta be from another planet or y'all must don't want the crystalline children to wake up smh
Im Am Sirius B I can see how followers of traditional religions would object to Tolle, as well as some atheists.
Im Am Sirius B Maby,, just MABY.. its because they live in a other universe? There could be 10 reasons why someone dislikes this video. Does not mean it is out of disrespect, could be. could be not. Why worry about something like that? Its not in your control, so its not your problem.
Dougy doug your right.. respect king #Peace
O and, what a amazing video. His words about outward and inward energy totaly fits with the problems i personaly have.
Look at him , he is confused himself. Funny to take him seriously
"I think of nothing." Grasshopper, Kung Fu.
IS THIS BOOK AVAILABLE IN OMAN AND IN INDIA ? IN BOOKSTALLS ? I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ON LINE PURCHASES .
+james kutty Joseph yes it is available in india in any popular book store

The power of now
wow
Man, this is heavier than the entire weight of the Earth.
Ah ha! he makes so much sense ! hes really funny too haha
What a great teacher. I was so moved by The Power of Now that I
wrote a song inspired by the book. Check it out on my channel and
let me know what you think!
1:10
ET doesn’t go deeper to explain that the dream of the universe itself is a movement from the source which is original face/facelessness … both the outward and inward movements eventually return attention/recognition to that which is not expressed but the very source of all that is born/expressed and dies/dissove …
He is like naturally high, he must be a Pisces. lmao
Staci Osorio his Sun is Team Aqua 😊 just like me
y are you people completly dissing eckhart tolle? completly trashing em.. i dont get it
we a part of the universe not apart from it, humans are spearheading evolution
3:09 shuuuuuuuuu :D
I was wondering what Bill Murray was doing these days.😁
i don't get it.
SPEAKS”…Are MUST READ By Every CONSCIOUS CITIZEN Of The PLANET…..
eckart tolle be crazy
It's just Divine Play; and our part of the universe is just a break to experience innocence and ignorance.
The universe want to show us the higher self. Then its all about the invisiblie life and not the history we tell and learn our children or the done-history or the history in our world wive to day. Its all about the invisible spiritual person we are her and now and the life we are supose to fullfill here...
Someone has been on whole lot of mushrooms and DMT i think 😁👍🏻🙏🏻💖
That is the cool part about Eckhart, he had these insights naturally. But of course, DMT and mushrooms might help your cause of looking deeply.
I started this spiritual journey after awakening during my mushroom trip. The act of surrendering is universal, and can happen at any moment in your life, or it may not happen at all. My friends who were with me that day still think I’m tripping from the mushrooms after 3 months, but they’re just asleep 😴
Pardon me but what did you just say?
#Deep as fuck. Eckhart Tolle, man.
I like how everyone laughs at the question though too :D Hilarious how its a question about very beginning of the book xD
#Spiritality Spirituality
Brad!!!!
Emma!!!!
Waaaaaaaaaa! This video!
WhispersRedASMR I *know* RIGHT??! :D
Gosh, I sound crazy.
Is it Ralph Lauren sweater Eckhart is wearing ?
does this have any relevance at all to what we are watching?
joydivisiongirl well, it doesn't it make any differece. We see things as we are -) I guess RL is beloved brand of my EGO-)
yamax1 I'm not quite sure if that's to do with your ego, since it's more about your appreciation of something that you are observing, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to look a certain way, it is only when we start to judge our self worth by what we own that the ego is a problem. I know that was crossed out, but still...
CosmicUndeadElf It's the separation identity. There is only God but the ego says there is "ME" and God and won't God be proud at how spiritual I am or good etc. God says you ARE me...you're just not ALL that I am. The trip is to become one with that which both contains and sustains us. It's a direction huh.
this man looks yoda
+caradepollasucia lol i was kinda thinking that too...i believe he would consider that a compliment :))
+caradepollasucia AGH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Nice. This chap is advocating acquiescence in one's misery, while himself exploiting handily - I'm talking money here - on his popularity. I bet, he's a multi millionaire by now. I would rightfully do the same - temper the financial ambitions of others, while seeing to it that my own means keep growing. Isn't that delightful! It is, but no - thank you, dear Eckhart - with all respect, myself do refuse to be flocked into submission and humility and let anyone - anyone at all - outsmart me or enjoy the means or the authority I'm singularly fit to possess.
Misery exploiting handily popularity, while seeing to it that own means keep growing, refus[ing] to be flocked into submission and humilty and let anyone outsmart or enjoy the means of authority.
How does he know all this to be true, and not just theory and interpretation?
Because he sees reality before it gets interpreted by the mind. The mind can only see reality through conceptualisation. Everybody knows this within and can "remember" it when the mind is still enough. It can never be understood intellectually.
when did he say its not theory and when did he say its not his interpretation?
+monkeycrud Because it's on internet, so it must be true
this guy is like the human yoda,
Umit Ekinoglu I'm surprised how many people've commented that. Never had the thought myself, but when pointed out I spose it's a fair comparison.
Impossible question for a human to answer
Ed MacLean yep
This stuff hurts my brain. Sounds like it is not considered carefully enough
He kind of sounds like Bane
CVLT
Mr. Tolle never answered the lady's question.
mercadam She and many others got the answer
He answered it pretty thoroughly?
You're sleeping
Gav391979 Maybe....
so the universe doesn't know its own purpose its own existence but only tries to understand by asking conversing with us in a way.
