Imagine school with Eckhart Tolle and Alan Watts lectures? Amazing!
I feel the same thoughtless awareness every time I listen to Eckhart Tolle (not as much with dogs to honest), and it turns into laughter within minutes. I love how the whole audience in the background fell into giggles. Spiritual comedy. He's fantastic. Thank you consciousness for this teacher!

This presentation has blowned my mind !!
Until now, life of people or my life was the product of the judgement of the others on me, and it was also my own judgement on my past life.
But now I understand that life is firstly the deep feeling of my beingness without any thoughts.
That will allow me to do great things and will make this feeling better, which means it will make me become a better human being, and it will make my life better, whoever I am if I'm rich or poor, whoever I am if I'm a busy manager or a monk in a monastery.
Like the light that you can feel with the sense of your eyes, like its warmth that you can feel with the sense of you skin, life is your own beingness that you can feel with the sense of your consciousness now and only now.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm,it's about how to dance in the rain. You have every right to a beautiful life. NEVER be ashamed of your problems... Your body... Yourself... YOU are worth LIFE. If you believe in yourself anything is possible.
wise comment! may you enjoy this cosmic dance of life ❤
we are life
You have no right to a beautiful life. You are, "Beautiful Life."
Thank you, for that. It's appreciated. :)
I know how to pilot the storm, now the dance.

''You can only exist now, all the rest is only thought;'' I summed up your whole philosophy in a sentence.

A comment just down from your comment this person needs to get a life as they have copied your sentence word for word lol seriously must be so lost
@@Bok2022st you and I both know the word "toast" so should you say it and I cannot?
Even if they did copy a comment nobody owns the words or any particular sentence
Life doesn't exist. Life is just another mental concept someone invented when they were drinking fermented wolf's milk around the camp fire 100000 years ago, to more easily agree on the subject matter
Which might partly or wholy explain why there is no such person as a dead one. People often ( probably far more often than not ) put in their Will and Testament an expression of how they wish to be `disposed` of. Normally by either burial or cremation.
But nobody is ever cremated or buried. Though my body may be lowered into the ground, I shall never be buried.
i just plain old don't have a life.
Thanks This is my first time to hear that " I do not have a life and I am life". Just like I am light and love. Also, I finally know the reason why I love animals so much because they treat us without judgement.
On point with dogs.. I look at their eyes and feel happy instantly and smile.💗 Thank you so much Eckhart... you're our light.🌟
& DOG spelt backwards is what 🤔, such a coincidence 😊
Get a legal dictionary most meanings are not as expected, nice try for instance, abra cadabra, much is a cruel facade & cursing yourself without knowing.....

of course, someone had to mention dogs.

Amazing. These words are paving the way to awakening and understanding
@Kevin Chevalier where does intuition come from?
Beautiful. I would swap God for existence
@Amanda God is existence. Omnipresent and Omnipotent. In All. Within and without. God is infinite universal Subconscious mind. Peace
@@HappyEddyMcGuire yes yes ofcourse Eddy but god is so much more to many people as there is a whole religion built around it with rules and values. So i prefer just to use the word existence.

Happy Sunday from Japan.
This is so many notes in my present day life.... Thx Brother ¡¡¡ This is why I so often sleep with my 5-month-old puppy, cuz I'm trying to ride that wave of unconscious subconsciousness straight into my sleep ! Really profound and really meaningful thank you ¡¡¡
Blessings! Happy weekend to all of you! Watching Eckhart's videos definitely is helpful for various reasons. Love it. 🌸🌸🌸
Happy Monday from Holland to everybody:-).
These teachings are essentially Advaita Vedanta - non-duality. I have spent the past 20+ years steeped in this philosophy. It has changed, affected, influenced everything in my life for the better I would say.
Still though, do you all believe that is it? That that is the end? So, you are of the quality of consciousness, which is free from bondage and is the eternal I am. Where does this leave you all in terms of a relationship with a personal god? Do you reject that conception?
The reason I ask is that recently I experienced the tragic passing of my 17 month old puppy to a car accident - we were best friends and our love and bond was/is beyond words. This intense grief made me re-examine my faith.
Till now I had been content with not really having a personal relationship with one god per se, though I always thoughts of myself and god in a more universal divinity connection kind of thing. But now, when I feel the stark reality of the impermanence of everything in this world, passing away all the time, and I know I will have to reconcile that for myself at any moment (for death is just a moment away), and I will add that I am left with only the hope and faith that the bond between myself and my loved ones, including my dog, has some kind of eternal or permanent life to it and that we will be together again - my spirit wants to rest on the support of its father/creator somehow. Fading away into emptiness or merging with Brahman at the time of death (with no personal God the father to greet me) as if I don’t exist as an individual soul, doesn’t seem like the whole story to me and makes me wander back towards a dualistic relationship again.
I wonder what Ekhart would say about faith in a personal god in light of a non dualistic experience of life.
Anything that makes me aware of the Creator, such as nature: dogs, cats, my inner silence etc. fills me with happiness.
Beautifully explained. Getting out of your thoughts......is where peace and true self is.
Well these words are based on thoughts. Hehh.... It's interesting ,I kind of recognize similarities with Castanyeda's Journey to ixtlan, Tales of power, and The art of dreaming etc. Although there are some differences. They both are obviously influenced both by greek philosophy and by classical buddhism.
LOL. you can't get out of thoughts. But you can notice, them, observe.

they are taking us to the same place 🌟Here🌟
All the teachers are taking us ‘here’. Not everyone will change you as it’s a personal journey for everyone. That takes wisdom too. Because ‘this’ is all there is…..
That feeling of presence and being in the moment does set me free. Simply taking notice a fall leaf or a flake of snow can do it. I am who I am when I’m conscious of my feelings in the experience of the moment.
I live by the power of now! It has changed my entire life ❤
How do you go about living it? Plenty of meditating and just being, I try as much as I can but still fail due to being pulled by everyday drama and relationships
@@Vikingfan13 You’re human so you will be pulled away from your attempts by people and everyday life. The key for me was working at it every chance I could to keep me aware of it. So for example, I was a really angry driver (for years)! I would yell and throw fingers and cuss at the top of my lungs at the idiots on the road, until I started to use the method of “being in the now & watching the watcher”. When you stop and listen to yourself and watch your reactions, than you are momentarily observing “in the now”. We are going to fail at times, but the more you do it the more it helps you appreciate living it! I hope this helps.

Thanks as always. Been listening to you for 20 years, a (younger)friend recently said 'oh I just discovered this lovely old guy called Eckhart Tolle'. 'Oh yes' I said 'we go way back me and Eckhart when we were both younger guys!'

My dog charlie is everything because of him im constantly present - i do on occasion ponder death when someone i know dies which can be scary but i snap out of it quickly because i understand i have no control of my death - giving up trying to control things happening in my life has been a blessing as i no longer suffer i just let everything wash over me.
You don’t die, only the human meat suit does. Your energy simply reverts back to source energy 🙏
Beautiful I'm struggling at the moment and this helps
Lifes about experiencing ! Pity money controls all life 😔
We're so pre-exposed to comparing ourselves with the next person from a young age, that we really forget the "big picture", which is that Life is about being in the present, forgetting everybody else opinions on you, and their so-called"achievements", and making the most of it, and being happy 'cause your present and living!
I have noticed that a lot of people compare themselves to others. I think people have different strengths and weaknesses. I don't feel the need to forget everybody else "opinion". I listen to their point of view and actually spend time learning about who they are and the reasons they may perceive me negatively or positively. I must say that one of my goals in life is to excel at conflict resolution therefore I welcome negative views and enjoy the challenge. I think it's the only way to reach the level of self-awareness. It's easy to reject other people's opinions but can you truly say you can forget them? memories have the tendency to come back.
@@jacquespoirier216 I agree, but I don't literally mean to forget everybody's opinions on yourself, but not to let them hold you back in life, 'cause it goes on in a competitive world.
It's our competitive nature.
Rub a dog.
@@cipiatone It comes from a young age, enforced by our parents.
we do not have a life, we ARE life 🙏💗
When i am painting i have no thoughts...i dont know how its possible i try to remember if i had thoughts nothing come back, but it's my favourite activity !☺️that i do like 5-6 hours or more per day cause its sooo good !
Cool, do what you like, and try and forget what you don't like! That's how I'm living my life now too. Thumbs up to that.
Same with me when playing my cello 😌
Beautiful, that's why my Dad enjoys painting so much
Big fan from Pakistan
Thank you Eckhart. 🙏
You are so humble, ur teachings can be understood easily and you are wayyyy hillarious. ☺️
I get a sense of my own presence when I get to sleep and somehow lose the use of all my senses.
I lose the use of my vision, taste, hearing, touch, smell, my brain doesn't think anymore. Sometimes when these are all shutting down but I'm not sleeping yet, I still sense something. I'm here but I don't know anything about what's around me. My face could be 1mm away from the walls of my room, the beat of my heart can get more noticeable but can also be ignored.
I'm here and I'm everywhere because I don't sense anything of what's around me. I just am :)
I had this experience maybe 10 times in 27 years. The mind gets at rest for probably one minute, then the sleep comes.
I love your videos and books and I've discovered 2 even faster ways in which you help me to get present. The first is one of your photos in which you look straight into the camera and you are intensely present.
When I look at it, that state of presense spreads to me instantly. It would take me about an hour of listening to or reading your book to achieve similar effect as taking one look at that photo does.
Another way is to recall what you once shared somewhere online. You said that you sometimes would send people a small message which was a litle bit of empty space between two brackets. Just picturing that tiny dose of empty space in the brackets on someone's phone seem to be enough to make me present right away.
It's like a little presence booster, without any adverse reactions.
Thank you.

I really love Jesus he strived to make our life experience beautiful and perfect. Now Eckhart do the same thing what Jesus did before 2000 years ago except the redemption. Eckhart is this generations bless.
You fool
@@m32m1m why? Though I accepted your idea.
Around 6 years ago, this 'mans' words, and probably Presence, led me to that fateful night in the Westend of Atlanta, that what was looking out from these eyes was Pure Awareness/Consciousness/'God'.. Not a thought, not a experience, more like a neverending experience, in which all that was and would ever be experienced was happening within this Awareness/Presence, the feeling of " Self'.. He's telling the Truth. One of if not the greatest teachers of our time, within the last few hundred years. Good 'man' good 'Being'. Thank you Eckhart
Love wins.
Love creates peace.
Peace creates laughter.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and being highly amusing at the same time. I laughed so much during this. You are an absolute treasure ❤️
Yes I love my cat for that reason.😻
Mr. Eckhart Tolle has a gift of explaining "Being Present" in a very simple and understanding way. The human "Ego" can be your worst enemy. When you let this monster be in control, judgmental, make decisions, choose who is your friend or reject people in your life, choose what house to own, car to drive, ect. you have lost the real meaning and value of life and being present. These are the people that we can look at that have all the material things, but lack who they really are and therefore very unhappy.
Joyful existence is not letting material things distract you from being in the present moment and loving the "me" in that moment of being present.
Small children - like animals - have this same capacity to be wholly immersed in the moment - no past, no future - just now. We can learn so much from them too.
My teacher tech us how to access again to stilnes witch already in us.but we forget it some how ..and you discrib that too.and I got a lot of

Hi Gisela, how’s your day going with you?
This message rings especially true for those who, lost in their minds, believe they were "born in the wrong body".
Having been broken in every single way I could be, I think of death every day because I have no hope. The way of looking at it in this video offers me some element of comfort.
Hope you are ok? There's always hope my friend
❤💫I hope the storm passes for you
You are not alone..."death" is not an option, you have so much to give and to
Do! Visualise what you want life to be, do not stay alone, go walking in the nature if you have it around you, beauty is everywhere...come on you are love and Not alone. Wash those energies away , under the shower imagine the colours of the rainsbow coming down on you, you are much more than you think. You are Light. May i suggestion to listen to some of Jeff Podcasts . Love to you
One thing I always question is how do you improve your self without self identity? If you don't want a fit body why exercise? If you don't want affluence why work harder to get ahead? The ego is a double edge sword. It drives us to do better but it does that by making judgements and unhappiness. Ballance seems to be the key.
Very grateful for you, Eckhart!!! Thank you for your contribution to humanity!
To a big extent this is a question of language but I have always thought that I have been LIVING a life.
Thanks Eckhart, now a now why i like dogs so much. You are a wise man. 🙏❤️
