  • This video explores how moments of connection with nature or a non-judgmental gaze from a baby can momentarily liberate us from our incessant thinking. Eckhart Tolle describes these instances as glimpses of the spiritual dimension that can affirm the value of life, even for those not consciously on a spiritual path.

    I was first introduced to Eckhart Tolle twenty years ago. I was lent a copy of The Power of Now. I tried to read it, but it sent me to sleep! Life went on... (I did return the book. I found it under my bed some weeks later). Now, I have reintroduced myself to Eckhart via ebooks and Audible. I get it, now! He is the clearest spiritual teacher for me. This just goes to show that every soul has a time. Everyone is ready when they're ready.

      you're not a soul, you're a meatbag in search of untangling the flawed mess which are your emotions.
      even if the bliss is reached with logic, it's still the same thing.

    When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening.
    When they said that she was isolating, she was healing.
    When they said she was acting funny, she was growing.
    When they said that she had changed, she was evolving.
    When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within.
    When they said he was becoming distant, he was learning to trust himself.
    When they said he was losing touch, he was finding his inner voice.
    When they said he was being stubborn, he was asserting his boundaries.
    When they said he was aloof, he was finding solitude and serenity.
    When they said he was being unrealistic, he was dreaming bigger.

    Very valuable teaching.
    Most if not all suffering comes from the thoughts the brain secretes.
    Very important to pay attention to (or observe) the thoughts passing through the mind because thoughts are the #1 cause of suffering.
    If thoughts can be observed without any negative emotion, you are well on your way to freedom from suffering.
    Also, a good understanding of emptiness (of inherent existence) is indispensable.

    When he speaks about people going through their lives unaware of thought identification, I remember a quote that Eckhart could probably use:

  • @annemurphy8074
    @annemurphy8074 Před 6 měsíci +4

    I had 2 NDE's and it was pure awareness. There was no time, everything was simultaneous. Consciousness/Awareness is like the sun, illumination of everything, no separations, no divisions. Just like the sun illuminates everything with no preferences or judgements, totally neutral, total acceptance of ALL that is. Consciousness or Awareness is like this and is what we really are, but it's not identifiable as an object. It's very difficult to try to convey what is so intimately KNOWN.

  • @chiptowers1
    @chiptowers1 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Let me break this down as I see it.
    Quote; " Zen" , the aim of Zen is to achieve sudden Enlightenment. The problem is when one empties mind and transcends rational thought, they have learned something that they have been seeking but what they learned or found, they think it's an illusion. So now they are in a revolving door of confusion because every time they are in Zen mode to achieve sudden Enlightenment, they again wont believe what they have learned and therefore think it's an illusion. And that is because all Teachers and Gurus do not have a clue what is really communicating from within and the purpose of the information.
    The point is, it is not your choice to turn off or delete your physical source within imprinted knowledge being relayed to your physical brain. The best meditation you can give yourself is sleep. ie 8 hours work, 8 hours play and 8 hours sleep. Thats all.
