  • Eckhart Tolle offers practical advice on using unhappiness as a signal to return to presence and awareness. He explains that recognizing moments of unhappiness as indicators of lost presence can help individuals shift their focus back to the present moment, stopping the cycle of suffering. Eckhart Tolle emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, observing the mind, and questioning the validity of mental narratives to disengage from harmful thought patterns. By understanding and transforming one's mental processes, individuals can reduce suffering and live more harmoniously with the present moment.

    I have a new line, when my brain goes into worry loops. I ask myself "What IF I didn't worry?" That then pulls me out of the loop and into the present moment. So much relief!

      woah!!, yikes,i had no idea there are human beings concerned with this type of stuff, actually letting it affect them. how small could a life be that something like this would cause a person to be “upset the whole evening”? if that’s a problem worth giving that much attention to, what happens if something real and meaningful comes along, could a person like this even recognize or deal with it? what about things that actually matter? REAL things. i am utterly shocked that someone is wasting their energy like this. makes me really really grateful for my intelligence and knowledge of what life actually has to offer. this comment gave me a boost of confidence because im not a NPC like many obviously are. wow.

      ​@sonialoves444 with a comment like this you still have far to go within your concious unconscious you can tell by the way you speak about others & how knowing you are one up others give you confidence ego boost wow what's shocking is your response to someone's unconscious thinking unawareness if you really innerstand the unconscious mind you would know why people get so caught within little traps that get them upset the system we are build into doesn't allow us to self regulate so for others unfortunately are still in that mind made self don't judge others because once you were excalty like this in the state the unconscious mind still looks like you are with comments like this obviously you are not deep listener of eckart

    After 62 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced by mutual consent. The divorce went smoothly, as did the sale of the house and the division of common property. We shared everything half and half. My husband is going to another country and I am going to a nice little house in the village. I think it's the best thing that ever happened to me. I am vigilant that my mind does not lead me into destruction. Suffering. But if I'm already seduced, I pick it up fairly quickly, or come to my senses. Dear Echart, thank you for being my best teacher.

    I am an overthinker, and I am more aware of this after reading The Power of Now. Of all of the "gurus" that speak on mindfulness, Mr. Tolle is my favourite. I love his message, and watching the longer videos where he is in front of an audience is a joyful exercise for me, especially when he lets his sense of humour shine. Thank you for all that you do!

    Millions manifest sufferings.
    Your unconscious mind manifests suffering.
    Bring attention to the present moment.
    What’s wrong with this moment? Nothing.
    Stop suffering first, then you can manifest others.
    From the foundation of being, you manifest others.
    Reconcile being and doing. That’s your purpose.
    Suffering tells you that you have lost the present moment.
    Once you know that, you can come back.

    There are some problems you can do something about and some you can't. What Eckhart says is ultimately true, particularly in the latter case. I have found that real situations are often balanced where you may be able to do something practical to solve it, but it is risky. It may succeed but it may not and it may make it worse. It is the old saying "grace to accept what you can't change, courage to change what you can and wisdom to know the difference.

    Power of Now is my guide book into my 70s. I have what I call a monkey mind. All over the place, add to this my addictive personality makes for a less than peaceful life. As the book says dwell more on being the silent watcher of your thoughts firstly. It sounds so simple, but the mind is clever and well trained. Finally I love his thoughts on emotions which actually means "disturbance or to stir up" Again observe no matter how painful, don't dragged into thoughts, life situations, fantasy in my case, having imaginary conversations or expectations about the future. Its all very tiring. Good luck on journey of awakening, awareness, joy and peace. Don’t try too hard. 🙏❤️
