The loss of my son put me in a place of silence, no thought, no feeling, no anything, but there was something, something that allowed me to see things for what they were. My son was diagnosed 9 years before he passed, but at the end, when he was starting to loose the fight, he said a strange thing, "it is what it is". I didn't at the time understand, but no know that he left me with a very precious gift, a gift I embrace along with Eckhart's teachings. Along with the silence, I discover what he meant and also understand how he managed to go through the 9 years of his life with so much love, peace, happiness and living only for that moment and what he could do with that moment.
Wonderful, thank you
So much beauty and love here, and with you.
@@jesusbermudez6775 Can you elaborate more on that, please?

Thank you for sharing 🙏what an angel😇
- I just want to let anyone who’s reading this, and going through a tough time know that it’s going to be okay. You’ll get through it! ✨
Thank you and Bless you. 🙏❤
Thank you! Peace and love 🙏⭐❤
Those who choose to let go of adolescence will have a chance to get through it. If not, a vision of sorrow will haunt them, until they are bitter, blaming themselves or others.
@@CitrusSimon too true! Thanks for your input 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 💕😊
When the Ego weeps for what it has lost. The spirit rejoices for what it has found.
Good Night Ego, Good Morning Soul 🌞🌞🌞

I got that written down as well🕊lots to think about🕊
I beleive ego is not the problem, ego respects and honers everything and everyone, it's the false ego that thinks of only self.
@@starflower7498 no. ‘awareness’ respects and honours everything. Ego is a false self created illusion based on dualistic thought process. Everything = non duality.
@@starflower7498 do you really belive your ego has respected and honoured everything and everyone around you?!
In a small pleasant family reunion I felt unable to join in an extended conversation as I felt my ego wilt, but that silence and stillness within was freeing and the gathering one of my most memorable well functioning family experiences as I stayed connected to Presence. I was elderly and they very young.
I love how authentic his sense of humor is and how he fits it into his philosophy so well.
" I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."
Martin Luther
I love this
When i lost my brother by his suicide recently there was stillness in the grief, just the now, heavy grief yes, but it was presence. So much lost the normal importence, yes being the being. Love came through, there is even joy under the grief, laughter. My brother is forever here somehow, now, and i'm so grateful 🙏.
Life is here to make us conscious, and it does that by challenging us- Eckhart Tolle 💯🙏🇿🇦☮️
Loss is a big a part of life. It is tough, a hard pill to swallow, but It has to be expected that it will come, and return again one day. This has to be accepted, if it is not, then a person remains an adolescent, regardless of how old they are. Loss reminds us that we live in contrast. And contrast is what makes life mysterious.
Yeah but...if one is to discover the fundamental nature of reality then it is possible to know that death is an illusion. But not all losses are to be mourned.
@@TaxemicFanatic Indeed Taxemic. Thank you. An adolescent becomes an adult when one discovers, then realises the fundamental nature of reality. If one does not discover it, or even worse, does not accept it, even after it has been realised, one remains an adolescent, regardless of how old they are. Which results in all sorts of madness, which we see playing out in the mainstream.
@@CitrusSimon the madness and the sanity are both just a part of the symphony of the universe.
@@TaxemicFanatic Beautiful. Thank you xx
Well done, but you are braver than I.
Eckhart’s humour is a delightful & unexpected shift amidst such serious & dark times it seems we all must endure.
I lost my kids during a divorce. I almost lost my sanity. I started thinking that the only way to have peace was to be dead. It’s been four years. I’m still alive and I have found some peace. I’m grateful for having experienced such emotions because now I am much more empathetic and much more spiritual. I want to learn more about healing so I can help people. Sometimes I wish I could live like a nomad, doing good deeds everywhere I go. May God bless us all. Thank you, Ekhart Tolle ❤
How do you handle it? I’m going through this from an abusive ex. It feels like a death

Any tips on how to stay centered and not go completely mad? God bless us all ❤🙏
@@catblog636 only JESUS is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
@@GloriousVibe The ONLY thing I found to help me keep going has been seeking God with ALL I’ve got. Nothing else worked for me. Everyone either betrayed me or abandoned me. My pain was too much for anyone to hear about for more than a few minutes. Even therapists failed me. GOD is the Only one to handle it. Pray to Him. Seek Him. Listen to Him. Meditate on The Word. Maybe you can find someone to hold you and pray for you. One day, I would love to do that for people. I want God to use me to do His Healing Work. 🙏💙
when my husband passed in 2005, it put me into the deepest black hole for 7 yrs, than I slowly started to come out of it and began the long journey of finding myself...now I found Eckhart and am learning so much and enjoying life with little bits of knowledge....am still on the path of knowing why and how life works...but I know I will get there sometime and somehow....
stay strong
When a child is born, humans celebrate. When a human dies, the angels celebrate.
"Retrospectively, very often you are able to be grateful for the loss; the diminishment because it drove you deeper. It brought out the essence of who you are beyond any form."
"When the Ego weeps for what it has lost. The spirit rejoices for what it has found."
Thank you.
What you lose in life is always compensated for by what you gain. I love your videos.
Sorry to ask, but did you ever lose a child?
I lost a grandchild. I begged God not to let him die. I was told He could not do that. I then was shown in a dream that a psychiatrist I was very close to, who had died years earlier, was caring for him on the other side. We all live and die. We die at different ages. I trust that my grandson had accomplished what he was here to do during his short life. I have known people who have survived the holocaust. One person I worked with in physical therapy watched his parents and sister be sent to the ovens. He was 5 years old. His entire story would break your heart. He was an amazing human being despite all of his suffering. When very painful things happen to us what we gain is mental, spiritual and psychological strength and a compassion for others we might never have had. This does not take away your pain. I understand that and I am so sorry for your loss.
@@sheiladay48 thank you so much for sharing. Giving light and love with your life experiences and perspective to others. Lots of love to you ❤️
I would like to ask you something. I think you saw a lot. Would it be ok?
I have been following the teachings of Eckhart Tolle since 2013 after going through a shocking and painful divorce at 27 years-old, which shook "my world" and reality as I knew it. All of a sudden, I was alone in the US, without family and friends - I had very little emotional support and had to learn how to rebuild "my life" on my own. The loneliness and disorientation I felt were intense, Eckhart Tolle's teachings was all I had, so I leaned into it heavily, listening to it every day in my solitude and finding comfort in his voice and in the truth I sensed in his teachings. 9 years later, after a difficult journey of uncovering a lot of unconsciousness (the divorce was just the beginning) my life has transformed - I remarried a wonderful man who is kind, loving, patient and we practice spirituality and work on our unconsciousness together, I have started my dream and vision of becoming a spiritual wellbeing coach with a focus on Eckhart's teachings, and my dream of moving to Portugal is finally coming true. I don't want to focus on the "outer layer" only and don't want to give the impression that life is now perfect, we all know this is not the nature of reality. There is still unconsciousness, but more often than not I am aware of it shortly after, so I'm able to let go and not create suffering. I continue to practice presence since I know anything I experience in the world of form is temporary and will eventually dissolve - I want to be cautious not to develop strong attachments to the world of form after manifesting the life that I always wanted. I felt the truth in my bones in everything that Eckhart teaches, but to have put it to the test (how he says it himself), and to now experience and see the truth for myself has been transformational - it has deepened my presence and trust in it, and it is incredibly liberating to feel connected to source throughout normal daily life. Thank you, Eckhart.. I am infinitely and forever grateful for your teachings
Thank you 🙏 I’m 32, and I was married, too. I recognise myself and those feelings which you describe here. I’m grateful to you for sharing this. 🙏☀️ I cry and I smile 🙂 And it makes me think of a possibility of seeing a rainbow beauty (rain + sunshine are both needed for this to happen). 🙏🌸
Thank you for sharing. I went through a lot of bereavement and loss lately and feel extremely lost in life. I like hearing about how other people recovered from similar experiences and rebuilt their lives with purpose.
The loss of my father this week was so hard to deal with at first..then my eyes opened..thank you
It's the sweetness of your soul that I love❤
I am grateful for your nonegoic-self's humor. ❤️
@@jesusbermudez6775
It's only because Yours is in the midst of dying... as for why You see and say that.
Otherwise/ If not, You're just another 'troll-program' attempting to infect and spread.
Either way, may Your soul find peace.
✌️
Yes he is utterly enjoyable, such a gift!!
This will take time. A long time. Patience with one self. 💗 allowing it to process is the key, but even this will take time. Time and allowing. Much love to all those who has lost 💗
Yes I lost my father to cancer at the age of 14
I was lost to alcoholism until 38
But now I know it was just stuff I had to change my mind
This man came out of nowhere into my life and yet we know there are no mistakes.
The longer an ego weeps, the bigger it gets. I never processed loss and trauma properly and I ended up (secretly) hating the world which attracted yet more negative events. I'm now learning to let go - but it will take time because I've identified with "the pain in my past!" for so long. Thank you Eckhart for making me face DECADES of my angry/hurt ego.
I made the experience myself, when I had a very very hard time - I thought so intensive: I can't bear it any longer - I got depressive and thought of suicide. I'm so thankful 🙏 that I AM still in this body. To listen to Eckhart Tolle, to read a lot of him and to find out, that it was the ego that took over my thoughts that helped me to find back to a conscious life. Thanks so much for helping to make my life so wonderful, wide and clear 😊
I would so love to see you do a full stand up comedy routine Eckhart. You have me laughing hysterically at my own ego. 🤣 How about Awakening through comedy ? 🤣
What a sweet man! I just love him…and I absolutely cant get enough of his little giggles lol
Just what I needed, deep thanks, Eckhart, for this precious reminder…
Thank for your kindness and compassion sir. Lots of Unconditional love, light, respect and gratitude. Feeling Peace...Joy...Bliss...Oneness with all of life & Expandedness
I will receive divine guidance to reveal the things and people that no longer fit on my path and how to let them go so there is room for me to receive the abundant gifts the Universe has waiting for me.
I bring levity and beauty to my relationships.
We are so grateful for the blessing of having You in our Reality 🙏💖🙏
So incredibly grateful.
You are GOLD Eckhart, I am so happy for all your success! Many blessings xo
I am in a lot of pain after my gf broke up with me. This really helped. Thank you!
Its gonna get better 💪 hang in there buddy something better coming when one door closes a nother one opens
The laughter detracts from the message
Your teachings help every day. Thankyou eckhart 🧡
Dear Eckhart. A few days ago I experienced a state of mind that I never had on before. It seemed like time was just a concept and somehow I felt a whole truness that was before time or any other concept. I felt that everything I can experience with words, is just an illusion, and the reality is what is before thoughts or words or concepts like time. If I have to call it somehow, I would call it: “This” :) It seemed to me totally funny and absurd that all my life I did not see this until now. I was in this state for hours, walking around. I found everything very beautiful and interesting, I was looking at things like I see them for the first time. I saw another reality that I felt is always there, I just did not understand it until then. It filled me with a great feeling of stillness, like that is the only thing that is always there, and us thinking that there is anything else really is a joke.
Since then I am looking for other people who experienced this and I hope I will be able to experience this state again. Love. Btw you look amazing! :) Also, O would like to ask if this state is a state that you are always in, or sometimes less and sometimes more?
They say that most people go through life and never really appreciate the present moment. Most people are either thinking about what will happen in the future, or what has happened in the past. When I practice meditation I try to not let any thoughts in my mind. If a thought does come I just let it pass without putting any extra effort into not thinking about it. It's not an easy thing to do, but I think it's one of the best practices because it helps you to get into that state where you can just experience the present at it's fullest. It also helps you to access your more subtle bodies and helps your energies to balance out and flow properly. The world we live in kind of programs people to think certain ways and keeps people stressed out, but tapping into that state of mind helps you to reset yourself. That's awesome that this came to you as a realization. If everyone walked around in this state the world would be a way more amazing place. This is also the key to stop manifesting karma. If you are in this state, and you perform your Dharmic duties without worrying about the outcome it will stop the intake of new Karma, is what Krishna says in the Bhagvad Gita.
Ego will pick misery over nobody anytime!
Thanks Eckhart. 16 September 2022.🌱🌼🍑🦋🐦🌷🐧🌹🌿
Everything he talks about just resonates with me it helps me remind myself that the ego identifies with the external when what we really are comes from the internal. Makes me find who I really am when I watch his videos and understand life more when I'm struggling
Thank you for this beautiful teaching on loss. It has helped me to understand what I'm going through and I have experienced this deep inner peace and stillness within.
God bless you Bridget

Thank You Eckhart. Your wisdom is soothing.
THANK YOU EKHART
Thank you ❤️
This is how my 2nd awakening started I lost one of my close friends. Was so confused and angry and so sad . Then I discovered spirituality and everything that I know now . Everytime I feel like I’m mentally unstable and suffering I always wake up again and grow mentally .
How did u lose ur friend
@@saferspaces she just passed all of a sudden I never found out why .
So sorry for your loss
Sounds a lot like me
When I lost both of my Childhood Friends who decided to leave my life it didn't trigger me like the sudden passing of a Boy who felt like a Brother to me. Despite not being that close to them or hardly knowing anything about them in life just sent me off the deep end. Before I went throw another Ascension Systoms. J was starting to Awaken then his passing made me so upset and kept asking why did I felt so bothered by them passing away after I found out he was doing drugs . He tried it out of curiosity I heard but I don't know of that is how he really did pass away. His parents weren't Addicts. Was a college student at San Francisco State, ca
Thank you Eckhart . My soul was guided to this today and more than ever this message was meant for me
How precious the words are above…..thank you for sharing!! Love Gwen
God bless Eckhart ❤️
Being present and silent in mind is a very good way of being help to others. There is one universal consciousness in all living beings on earth. If one person succeed in being present, he automatically transfers that peace to his fellow living beings, whether humans or any form of living being. Being a kind person, my sorrow for distressed people and my dogs was hurting me a lot. I'm in a process of learning how can I help them from a distance, even when I can't serve them in action. I practiced presence successfully on 10 sep 22 and noticed a big amount of peace and joy in people from next day. I did it mainly for my abandoned dog, but noticed difference among masses. I hope my dog is receiving love, joy and peace too. I'm still learning to practice presence and silence as a way of transferring healing, love and joy to whoever is sad and miserable. If people learn to practice presence and silence as an act of help to others, a lot of mental distress can be cured. And mental peace and joy is the final target behind all our efforts. Everyone who are reading this comment, please practice silence and presence to help your loved ones, if you can't help them in action, and are sad about it..❤️
THANKS to EckartTolle very much for having taught me -US ! - how suffering, which can seem so unbearable at times, can actually make us better human beings and can make us see our absolute connection with all Creation...✨💫☀️🌬️🌟💫🌌🪐🌏 ...💓🙏
What about the LOSS of people we LOVE? My sister, my mother, my father are all gone now and I can never experience their unique personalities ever in this life again. Sure, I can talk to them in my mind, or make up what they mind say in response, but that is just me making things up, not actually that person. I don't feel upset because of some esoteric thing like my ego is diminished, I MISS them. Their humor, their jokes, their essence. OK, great, an opportunity for me to grow, fantastic. But they are still GONE. I feel so deep and wise now. "You feel it for a little while. It is not pleasant." Ha ha ha. So funny. Grief is so hilarious.
❤️gratitude to we’re you are in the new just being now ❤️
Beautiful, Eckhart. Blessed are the ones who are in misery for they hold the key to eternal peace.
On a lighter note, sure, of course, Goldman Sachs would love the CDs and books in the future. I mean they would love the CDs and books in "futures and options".
Terrific.
Beautiful.
Profound
We are eternal.
Awesomeness!!!
This is so inspirational thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Love the Madoff example
Kindly do live you tube meditation sessions at different time slots, so that people from all over the world can join in. Collective presence and silence can help increase manifestation of presence in the World..
Muchísimas gracias!!! 😂🤗❤️🙏
Pain is the touchstone to spiritual development .
Beautiful video 🤩
we are not taught the true meaning
of life or its universal laws of nature in school or anywhere and therefore we fear death or any kind of loss and we dont understand the nature of the ego, spirituality in general should be openly taught and discussed from a young age
in ways that help our souls develop and not hinder, the world would then be a much more kinder and more pleasant place to live 💗🙏💗
S o kind of you Sir..thank you...
Thank you Sir
My twin brother, whom I suspected would have a fatal accident for the past 2 years due to his mental illness, now has fallen out of a hospital bed and needed urgent brain surgery. The coming weeks will be a test: we don't know if he will survive or if he'll be the same.
I'm contemplating all scenarios in my head, I don't know if this is the kind of loss I'd get over or if he will be able to deal with recovery if he makes it alive.
My heart is bleeding for him and I'm willing to take his place if the universe wants to help me get him healthy and happy.
Bless u kind soul❤🎉Hope Ur Brother Is healthy and full of love❤😊
Sending lots of love and light ❤
I dont see, twice, what positive has come from the lost of 2 loved one (Always cause of thé réaction of my ego)
I think he's saying that suffering isn't necessary. We can hold onto it as a form of identify. Or we can learn to let go and be free.
This is the most hilarious Eckhart speech!

🙏🙏🙏Thanks so much for sharing very important bless you 🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌼🌴🌴🌴
I sent this to someone that lost his son to suicide before I listened to it. It was such a horrible experience. I love you so much but it maybe could have been more sensitive to that type of loss.
This is why I always listen/watch things in their entirety before sending it to someone else. Otherwise, I don’t know if it’s truly something that will help them. Im sorry this happened to you. It does sound terrible.
Ego: “let me tell you what happened’” ..😀 haha that was on point
Sometimes I wonder if I can ever accept so much loss. I see my kids who are grown up now slip away into the matrix , so many friends have died and my late x husband who became mentally ill and I had to leave him . Sounds like I’m complaining. No I’m not , but it is sad
😢the same happened to me
It didn't sound like complaining to me... Many blessings to you. My husband watches many NDEs (near death experiences).. they all describe that "place" as home 🏡.. a loving home, peace, timeless, full of loved ones etc.. my condolences for your losses. I lost my dad in Nov 21.. I actually don't usually say I lost him because just saying loss is sad (a lesson Eckhart taught with the word betrayal) but try to Imagine your friends who have gone on as happy, reunited with their loved ones and grab those kids from the matrix sometime with a loving phonecall ☺️ tell them a story they don't know about something they did when they were little. God bless🙏🏽🙏🏽

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
The heck? 😂
You are so wonderful!!!❤️
One thing what i hate about gurus is when they say: you cant loose anything when u never had anything in the first place.
First of all we are not babys anymore, so we have gained certain things, trust of people or money. All this is important.
If it really wouldnt matter you could just throw away everything and live without eat and then just die on the street.
Loss is for real. You can loose by making a mistake. You can mess it up or loose an opportunity. All this is extremly frusttrating when it happens. All u can do is say, ok i lost. I accept my loss. Not to deny it.
What I find weird is the usual flowers that surround him, white is to much in a period of grief 🖤.
✨✨✨
“I’ll tell you what happened” 😂
