- Eckhart Tolle stops by Google for a fireside chat with Bradley Horowitz. The subject is: "Living with Meaning, Purpose and Wisdom in the Digital Age."
This is my favorite talk by Eckhart Tolle and he is by far the best spiritual speaker on the planet today.
My gurus better than your guru
I’ve never met a more perfect Human Being than Eckhart Tolle I wish for his teachings to become part of the National Curriculum in every school. Loving kindness is what we need to heal ourselves and our planet.
Yes well the fact that it isn't tells something.
The reason why it's not taught in school is because once you become enlightened, you can't be controlled.
If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.
well my present is shit so...
@@uwha9394you were typing in the present.
very key
@@uwha9394 U wouldn’t know that unless you compare it with the past or the future
is he back 9 years?
I listen to him before bed every night. He really brings out the good of ppl.
As a new employee at Google and a long time follower of Eckhart, this was such a blessing to witness! Thank you @google for being so open to the realm of spirit 🙏🏼
He is so relaxed that shows he is deeply connected with his consciousness.
I always have so much to say after watching Eckhart shine his light and sharing his teachings!! Not only does everything make so much sense but after listening I always get a sense of that deep connectedness of the oneness he is guiding us to. THANK God for this wonderful man who has helped millions of people around the world with so much anxiety, depression, detachment & unhappiness. His presence is priceless.. we love you Eckhart! 🙌💫❤️✨🙏🧘♀️
Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing this with us!!❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad he has done so much
@@ritamorelli3869 that whose the most important thing ❤️❤️ from San Diego
I try to listen to one Eckhart talk every morning. It really starts my day off in the right direction!
He is the real thing. I find him inspiring and validating my own experience>
+Robert Kennedy Comical. Another being validating your experience. I suggest, more work, inwardly. He, is no more the real thing, then you or any other of these questions askers, are.
Thank you for helping me
just like a person who starts a day with a shot of alcohol

Very helpful. Thank you!
Bro!
Maytane Winner thank you for this content locator. Makes it really easy to go back and review the questions he answered so brilliantly.
Eckhart is so innocent and shines with the natural beauty of spontaneous being
Spontaneous being and thinking...nothing fake about him
Just being!
He is not innocent he knows very well he is lying to people about many things. He is a false profit.
@@MrMakingwavesmedia it's not all about profits though is it
@@MrMakingwavesmedia prophet* If you're going to troll at least get the spelling right. This video is free and if you're paying attention this is a discussion about experiences that a healthy mind can appreciate and for those experiencing a dark night of the soul and how to reconnect to your soul.
One Eckhart Tolle video a day - helps in keeping identification with ego away :)

Take 2 videos before going to sleep
The irony is this is a copied comment
I would love to have Eckhart as a companion but he says he walks away as soon as he sees pain body arising so we would never be together because I'm not evolved enough yet, I'm too neurotic. 😢😢 But I love him at a distance ❤️❤️❤️
You are so right Eckhart, this technology could spread your teaching and help humankind awaken yet at the same time DEVOUR us.....like most of our children can't even look at you when you are speaking because they won't look away from the Xbox game or cell phone 😳😳😳
Tolle makes specific mention(37:44) of how valuable one's dog is in bringing one into meditative awareness and appreciation...AGREED! DOG is most certainly my co-pilot in this lifetime!
I could listen to Eckhart for hours. I love his laughs , giggles and his way of being. A calming influence on me .He too helps me to start my day siting wwwwith my laptop at times for 4 to 5 hours at a time . I am so grateful for him/. Google I Thank you for sharing.
I do not understand why so many thumbs down? This is by far the BEST Eckhart Tolle video I have ever seen. GO ECKHART! Stop trans-humanism!!!
@Aristides Gonzalez IMO 1% would be too much and no, not tripping, micro-dosing.
I agree with you absolutely!!! He's a beautiful soul👍
I can only assume is because there’s a lot of excessive talk before actual Eckhart gives his message.
Totally agree with you Eckhart is such a wise knowledgable Man! But he’s also got a very dry sense of humour! 😆. One of best teachers on CZcams in my opinion. 🤝
Probably because of hate twords Google.
I adore Eckhart. He
literally save my life!! The Universe chose him to help this planet. He is a prophet chosen by the DIVINE, the ONE, the Universe, GOD whatever you want to call it. You can never go wrong
with his teachings. Every time I listen to him, I not only strength what I have learned from him already but I
continue to learn more and more every time. God gave him, the language of this
time. A language that continues to resonates with everyone looking for INNER LIBERATION.
I just don’t have words to express my endless gratitude to the ONE for choosing
such a humble human being like ECKHART to help millions and millions of people.
Thank you Eckhart, thank you Universe for such of gift!!! I now have the
tools that I need to fulfill the purpose of being here in this earth, this
planet.
a very wise man who is able to explain his ideas in a way that most people
can follow him .... if they want ... !
Yes "...if they want...!" turns me on ! Haha ! I like Eckart when he stops to giggle... ( Giggle ? Is this an English word? )
I watched Deepak and Wayne Dwyer before but never really got it until I listened to Eckhart. I love him so much ❤️❤️❤️
The quote from Eckhart Tolle that helps me the most is "If you are not friendly with life, life will not support you... Make friends with the Present moment."
Thank you 🙏. Very simply put yet profound. Thank you for posting this quote from him
belive you are here
Thank you 🙏 I felt that!
Thanks Melissa, I’ll start today! Donald from Texas
The quote that helps me most :
Life sucks , then you die...
humble, clever, funny, pleasant...exceptional.
Present
@@mariusd7803 Yes! :D
Eckhart is a true genius someone who understand the universe on a much deeper level than people who try to understand it on a conceptual mind level,this is high end intelligence.
he is definitely no genius unless you severely twist the meaning of the word
@@salexmatei what do you mean by that?
@@salexmatei ? And?
Eckhart is low IQ
the difference between a heart being & a mental identity becoming/dreaming. (::)
I remember when Eckhart told that story to Oprah about when he was about to commit suicide and said to himself I cannot live with myself any longer and realized there was one self observing the other. that I saw at a time when I was in a very dark place and it really saved me
@Tara king “life sucks” is a belief, not a reality.
@Tara king it’s 2020 how are you now? Is life good for you? I hope so!
I do see that there is "somebody" observing or witnessing what is going on from above, but I cannot seem to get out of this pit.
@@harlenevan what do you mean?
@@bornuponawave well, I can understand that Eckart realized there had to be more than one if he could not live with himself anymore... I feel the same way.... but I still cannot seem to get out of the dark pit yet. I was commenting on the woman's post above.
This humble man has a unique gift in being able to communicate a truth which is so often hidden from us
The fact that we are in this moment listening to all this is an awareness. I am here. This is who I choose to be. Sitting at work, while waiting for my client instead of pacing the room like others,listening to his WISDOM. I am in this room by myself,feeling no need to prove nothing to no one. Just being present. It's so lively. I am here in the present moment for a reason. One reason only. To breathe, to live my life to the fullest when I'm awake to this moment. The rest is waste of time. Think and be in the PAST, or the FUTURE that hasn't been arrived. Have a blessed day. Love&peace to all 🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Just listening to him is a meditation :)
You have no idea what meditation is Chris I am very sorry to say
@chevalier577 because he is not speaking with true insight. He is a fake.
He tries. At several key points he leads into meditative thinking and is doing so himself while explaining the sensations.... it's great. I need more.
Yes! Completely agree 😊
@chevalier577 that’s what makes it so calming
I always start to smile if I hear his voice, he helped me tremendously. He reminds me to be Here and NOW. :-)
Wow that is cool ...❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲
Thanks Google for sharing, it’s rare that I listen to something that is this long but this was the previous gift that kept on giving and I didn’t want it to end. 😁
Simply put, listening to and reading Eckhart Tolle has had an enormous impact on my own life. I loved this talk. Nothing that I had not already heard, but at the same time it was as if I was hearing it for the first time. Thank you Eckhart!
Eckhart Tolle embodies what we all need to hear. I am thankful every time I hear him because the reality of his words always touch me more strongly than the last time I heard him speak. Thank you for bringing him to us again.
He is actually empowering you to realize who you are. He is one of the greatest spiritual teachers and will be remembered for thousands of years hopefully.
This is so sad that you believe this. I hope truth finds you.
@@MrMakingwavesmedia I find it so bizarre that you took the time to reply to so many who have found peace through the teachings of Eckhart. I wonder what is your goal. What is the truth you speak of then?
@@MrMakingwavesmedia I hope truth funds you too. In the meantime, stop judging him. And leave us in peace. Please. Go away.
Who ever dislikes this video, doesn't see the absolute truth Eckhart speaks.
Your ego speaking?no need to judge ppl...
What makes Tolle authentic is that he does not speak from the Ego. But how to explain this? The fact that he really does
not say much new or different, that he is not flashy or charismatic in the usual sense...so WHAT makes people still want
to listen to this man? What I feel inside is that he is speaking from his deeper Self, which touches my own deeper Self.
You may call it by other names. No matter. The Ego is our usual, automatic and un-aware way of speaking. He does
not speak in this way.
Honesty Fenix you hit the nail right on the head eith thus train of thought 😇
Honesty Fenix Id trust him with my house keys if he wsnted them. Ive never felt any negative vibe comjng from his direction and Im very protective of allowing someone to speak into my spiritual life. Iyanla is another one Id trust. Shes the one that got me started on this journey. Id love to meet both people.
+Ms Hill: Thank you for sharing. Hope you can get to meet them some day.
Honesty Fenix ego is all there is, denying it you deny yourself
Nope there is still ego. He is still attached to his ego this is evident in his attachment to Christian dogma. If he was enlightened he would not be this confused still.
Remember when he talked about the free flow of information? Shame on you, Google.
Yep, I agree with you totally.
Google... Thank you for this great interview, Myself i'm a Buddhist, so this is not new to me, but Eckhart as a great way of explaining being here in the present moment in such easy language that everyone can understand, you don't need to be religious to understand how important being present in the moment is beneficial to all of us... Please can we have more videos like this..
He is a fake
@@MrMakingwavesmedia fake as hell LOL - they think google care about them LMAO
What is a non fake? Or who?
@@MrMakingwavesmedia that doesn't make any sense, as he has made his way through life purely from his own knowledge and wisdom. Nothing he speaks is fake, 12 million purchases of his book worldwide prove this. Silly comment really.
I feel very grateful that Eckhart Tolle has given us humans a great ability to find our way to understand connection between our thoughts and mind.Awareness is the key to happiness. many blessings and love
I am veryy happy that google did it! 6 months I live with this teaching and my life became wonderful! I`ve stopped to angry and became positive person. My friends notice changes in me and asks me: how?
Imagine if Eckart Tolle met Jesus Christ. Thats where the true ♥️would come fully alive.
"The derivation of your identity from your thoughts is a cheap substitute of who you actually are"
Yet all he describes is thoughts.
Am teaching it as a subject in school in NZ next year!!! So excited, 7 years in the manifesting!
teaching what next year?
well it was last year now, lol The Magical World of Energy - I got 2 terms in before I lost my job to mandates.... fired for being naughty! yes best way to go after 18 years... Time to create the NEW
Thank you so much Eckhart. You truly are a great gift to the world.💕
Eckhart Tolle, Blessing in light and love for your voice, in this mad world may the Great spirit prevail.
His words are a beautiful truth, but only of value if felt from within the heart.
An absolutely accurate summary of human existence and such an appropriate delivery of information which should be taught in school.🙏
We are blessed to experience this great teacher.
Thank you 💕
it is a mouse(nothing and nobody) that *understands* nothing
Such a precious man! 🌺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The way Eckhart is and talks brings such loving emotion that brings tears to my eyes and if you were to ask me why my answer would be 'I don't know' as Budha or Aristotle used the sentence, not that I am equating 'myself' with either. Thank you Google for this priceless lesson
This Talk could rank as the No 1 by ET explaining simply the truth of life to be lived . Just Awesome Great !!
That whose great!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great that he's talking at Google - I hope some of this spreads through the company and out into the world.
He speaks of the depth of the now, and only touches on its possibilities. The Now has INFINITE depth, much much than that which is described here. Life can be a waking miracle, unfolding with every breath, and more, ever more.
George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff brought his teachings to the Western world. Everything Eckhart speaks of is found in Gurdjieff's method, the Work, and his books, and Ouspensky's books (pupil of Gurdjieff). In his youth, Gurdjieff travelled extensively studying and observing many of the world's religions and cultures, and then took what he believed to be the most useful, and practical for the Western psyche, in order to help his pupils lead a more conscious existence. Eckhart essentially speaks of the Work, and explains it beautifully. Extraordinary.
A sweet and gentle soul. So profound.
At Cambridge Eckhart was known to his circle of friends as Ully, the diminutive of Ulrich. His aura of serenity and goodness was disarming. He was without ego.
No man is without ego and those that claim it have the most out of control egos.
@@MrMakingwavesmedia you're absolutely right, the same applies to people that say "they never get angry". Not everyone is conscious or free from the enslavement of the mind.
@@MrMakingwavesmedia He has an ego but he sees it for what it is; a mental construct, which can cause a lot of mischief when not grounded in presence.
@@MrMakingwavesmedia I hope you and your ego will be very happy together.
Eckharts answer to the question at 50:30 should be listened to by everyone. A vital message and one that is truly transformative so far as you are willing to embrace it.
Thanks for sharing! I didn`t have time to listen to it all but I am so happy I got to heart Eckhart answer the question, so enlightening.
Matt Stocks thank you 😍
Love Bradley, he's such a sweet lovely guy ... Eckhart Tolle is a person that I consider to be "enlightened" ... he's an amazing individual who clearly demonstrates what is possible with the human mind and heart. LOVED this!!!
Beloved Eckhart Tolle My amazing teacher 🙏🌟💛💫
Why do some of us get triggered by Tolle? What is it in us that cannot simply sit and wonder if he might have something to offer that might improve our lives? The answer as I see it: It is the mental construct of ego at its tenacious.
Those of us who have experienced the "Dark Night Of The Soul" have often emerged much less self-centered and much more certain that the way we were living simply didn't work; in other words, less arrogant and open to new ways of being and living. As for me, I appreciate someone who has experienced that of which he speaks with such authority. I am not jealous of him. Instead, I am inspired to be more of who I really am without the social programming and religious limitations on my personal greatness.
Because he hasn't. As a modicum of analysis and/or practice will demonstrate. The road to hell is paved etc....to give him the best of it.
That's one of the good things of the modern IT and Internet - even if already happened a while ago, I can get these very helpful words! Thanks to all who made it possible.
THANK YOU MUCHLY Google for sharing this most inspiring, benevolent session, much learnings to experience the present moment 🙋♀️💜👍
I listen to ET every day .... but Wow I m writing an article about google and I came across Elkhart talk and how he pointed on things I v been thinking of ....
Anyhow well done google for some of your contributions. This video is for years ago ..... and you share with everyone. Thanks.
Listening to him always calms my anxiety.
Thanks, #Google for inviting this wonderful philosopher to share his point of view, and that you have recognized the need of including the philosophical point of view in the technology development
BRILLIANT! With immense GRATITUDE to Mr. ECKHART ETOLLE for his WISDOM and ever PRESENCE and to GOOGLE for creating such an enlightening EXPERIENCE. LOVED IT!!!!!
Wrong wrong wrong. Echart had no idea how corrupt a msnn he was innocently speaking to.
Echart barely researched this deceitful Engine
@@lindalarsson1436 Regardless, Eckart got his honest message through to what it seemed a room full of people in need of some Enlightenment. No judgment, just my observation. Thank you for your input.
Wow! Eckhart at Google!This rocks! Love you Eckhart❤️ Kudos to Google for doing this! It shows you have integrity!
You can really tell that this guy lives with the things he tells and that he really believes in them and is really convinced in it. That's why i love to listen en read what he got to say.
Yes n he does not only believe them he actually is that if u now what i mean. so r “u” n “me” n all..
@@Natalia-vh5kf I know what u mean. But still I enjoy reading his books more than him talking. P.S. It's fun to see a reaction after 2 years
@@davidone2219 hihihi ✨✨✨☺️
Hi- there is another two years but for me is NOW 😂I love paradox. 🙏
He’s such a lovable guy
What a wonderful speaker and being! Have loved his books for years, but to hear him speak is very special. Kudos to you, Google, for recognizing that you could learn from him. :)
As someone who is now in the process of degoogling my life i found it hard to listen to the introduction and the interviewer without judgement. Still a work in progress. Eckhart is a treasure.
Gracias Eckhart por concientizar a tan importante medio de comunicación👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏻
I think the powers at google should go back now and rewatch this as they’ve seriously lost their way 😿
GOOGLE LOST THEIR SHIT MAN
I think the impact was had, and still is..we would be in a different reality , perhaps even more aggresively going wrong then now
@@SilvrSeven ITS FRANKLY RIDIculOUS
Exactly what I was thinking of. It (Google) is the antithesis of what Mr. Tolle is talking about. If anything, Google will take this information and see how they can capitalize on using the information to further their own goals. Funny to see Eckhart on stage with Google.
I thought the exact same thing. The guy from Google said they have a mission to organise the worlds information?! Much to be learned from Eckhart Tolle, he is an inspiring human being.
''Success' is a cheap substitute for who I really am.' A valuable observation in hindsight!
Love Eckhart. Taught me so much and helped me really understand what was happening to me in the Dark night of the soul. At one point i was not sure if i would be here much longer🙏🏼🙏🏼 Eckharts teachings brought me so much light, which i now share with others who are struggling. Wonderful being, wonderdul man. Namaste and much love ❤
I've been trough the same thing and Eckhart helped me so much in times of confusion. My life changed radically for the better after that.
It is supremely inspiring to witness and learn from a human being that is properly 'awake'... someone that has fully broken through.
So wonderful, thank you so much for sharing :-) feeling absolutely happy and alive after listenting to it! Greetings from Germany, Andrea.
After hearing the message it cleared a lot out of my mind and greetings from the USA
We I really fall in love listening to this everyday and I always fell happy anytime I listen to it and make me strong .... greetings from San Diego California 🇺🇲👍
Thank you Eckhart, wished I had came across you ten years ago! better late than never! but you have taught me now is what is important!!!and NOW I am ready for you and your teachings!
your only goal in this life is to realise your true self before you die. once you have done that, that's it, you have made it for eternity.
Eckhart Tolle är en viktig person och lärare.Hans böcker är ovärdeliga för mig.
9 Years later, Many people are already walking like zombies.
they are controlled without any idea how can they being controled bcus they think they are so smart :)
So great he said this then...
Been going since the tv came out..
Eckhart's word always resonate with me...
Eckhart is a giant show in all his presentations with some kind of beauty in each moment.
Finally someone who understands life, and can explain it well. Without demanding all sorts of separation from the real world..
Love Eckhart’s teachings
So helpful I need these wise words in my life NOW
I am sure each graphic entry has its own story, but I took the time to listen to Echart Tolle's indepth knowledge being aware of consciousness experienced in the present time. He is well connected to the best understanding the creative spirit within us that is so deep we need to take time and learn about that something else that enables a thought to be there, and a awakening of our ownselves. The care and attention we give to our outer self should be also given to the inner.
I was also in a very dark space once, and just one morning I also saw everything differently. From depressed to a very strong person, I really believed up until today that God works in miraculous ways. I think that the Holy Spirit opened Echarts eyes to see things from a total different perspective. I relate to his teachings and know exactly what his talking about. Jesus is a wonderful God, and I give Him all the Glory and Praise everyday.
It's so interesting to observe how some faces from the audience, in the back of those whom questioning Eckhart, are so absent, so not present.
They don't even know the spiritual magnitude of the teacher who speaks in front of them.
Probably they attended this conference due to work obligation :)
I'd say that folks working in tech corporations as engineers, etc. are perhaps the most identified with their mind and their thoughts so it's very challenging for them to understand that there is a much greater intelligence than some software program that governs the universe(s). Their mind's intelligence gives their self value, and they can't see any thing else unless it fits the narrow world of logic as they understand it. Even the world of emotions is like an alien being inside of them since they have little awareness or concern about it. It doesn't help that our modern world supports that way of living- idolizing so called logic and demonizing emotions while calling spirituality as woo hoo or "new agey." Things are changing though, and this is what the awakening is causing so many of us to realize. Though some people may seem hopeless, the fact is that one person's consciousness and presence affects another even if they cannot perceive it on a surface level, their true self within sees that. That is why people find conscious people attractive- it's not the person themselves, but rather that person reminds them of who they really are. I have seen this first hand when I practice conscious breath awareness and presence, the people in my family change. A space is created for others to feel their true self. We are constantly seeking to see and understand ourselves through other people, like a mirror. The faster way would be to go inwards :)
It’s interesting how you could judge them by looking at their faces. New skill?
@@bhbae1 It’s not hard at all to look at a face and know what is going on inside them… Presence is easy to spot from those who are present
@@sd961960 Presence is being here without your "personal" judgement. It is a concenpt of pure observation.
@@bhbae1 Yes, but as long as we are in this form, we still dance in duality...and so we can spot those who are awake, and those who are not...just as Tolle can, and has done on occasion
It always amazes me how he adopts the way he speaks to the audince.
I like how he’s addressing the audience as well as the interviewer!
Eckhart ,you were the key to the shift I had ,it changed my life for ever , all your talk make much sense and truth , thank you google , thank you eckhart , we are v blessed to have the net , only pressing keyboard and getting much information we need, hope that all use it wisely , we are living in amazing era with great technology ,hope it will lead to peace and awakening of world consciousness , god bless !
this happened me too....a satori that lasted for 5 days and then went - I assure you the awakening will come back. It's a seed.
gotta love this man. gives me hope for the world knowing people like this are in the world
I have a lot of ET's videos and I've read manny comments on this videos. But I literally have not been able to find any negative comment or criticism. Like whaaat? Is it possible on the Internet and youtube. ET is really an exceptional dude. I hope he will have a very very long life.
I have missed the boat for so long. Before Eckhart, I saw the present moment as a spider's web that was in my way, blocking my journey. Now I see that the spider's masterpiece IS the jewel of the journey.
interesting seeing Eckhart's 2012 warning about "Big Tech" turning into a monster. The man saw it coming......
my thoughts exactly
It didn't take a rocket scientist to know this, nor an Ekhart T.
Exactly my though
This guy is for real. The real deal. He's like a comedian that spends most of his time saying important stuff, and that comes to punch line every 20 minutes.
Sometimes he seems like an imp that is surprised at what his amazing voice is doing
he is a fake profit fam - you think google care about your well being? LOL. you vaccinated as well yeah? this comment is embarrassing but we ve all done embarrassin things. sorry - had to regulate you. you worshipping literally - a piece of turd.
Awesome my favourite teacher of our times proud of you 🙏
eckhart you are amazing. the answering of the questions at end was beyond amazing and is profound.peace,love and understanding. thank you.blessed be
This was great advice! I actually gave that a try and it made quite the difference. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. I had never thought of it like that before.
Eckhart : We have to be careful about technology turning into a monster 📱 👩💻 !
Google: 👹
Exactly. Google is a 👹👺😈☠️
India and all ancient cultures have known this for millions of years. But, its good that the west is know brought this knowledge and hope the world will one day be what it actually should be. In harmony with everything in this universe.
Millions??
fascinating. I think Eckhart is on to something really special -- that the mental activity (knowledge) is neither bad nor good, but the Frankenstein of the future -- possibly. He also has a profound idea that gathering more mind knowledge is and can dull our ability to know ourselves -- the self without the mind.
I love you Mr Eckhart ! Your an awesome individual !
Exactly right about our morals relative to other species :) - thanks for enlightening me on that one. All attaining enlightenment or living in a state of presence does is brings you into contact with that in all physical things that isn't physical, i'd prefer to call it energy. This pales in comparison to what can be discovered through experiments/investigations of scientific theories
Wisdom conveys in such simplicity.
Every time I watch internal Google stuff I cringe. Hope you guys get that consistency over the years...
