So in other words, thoughts are like CZcams videos. They're all out there at once, about everything imaginable. Things you love, things you hate, positive and negative. You choose which ones you want to see based on how you feel.
I know the collective mind is a real thing because when I lived in a different culture where a different language was spoken, I became aware that I was outside something real and when I returned to my own culture I remained outside of its "collective mind," so travel not only broadens mind it creates an opportunity to recognize mind as something outside ourselves.
+Rose Evans Okay, a little back ground - I started reading into spiritual stuff about 7 years ago (I am 27 now). I was an atheist before that and a religious person even before that. So finally I started ending up between the middle of two things which I consider to be spirituality. One day I was reading a book called "Transforming the Mind" (forgot the name of the author) and it had a section named "Man, the machine" and another one named "Consensus Trance". The content of these two sections hit me so so hard (at that moment I was travelling in a bus and reading the book on my phone). When it hit me, an unknown smile came to my face. I don't know from where it came but it lasted for a few milliseconds only, I closed my eyes and tried to make that happen again. After several tries I did it again but it again lasted for hardly one second. In the following days, I kept reading more and more and started practicing the same thing in my room without any light. I don't know why but a lit tubelight or bulb was always a distraction for me. Through practice, I reached a point where I could sustain that thing for about 30 seconds. And during those 30 seconds, I would laugh and smile so much (alone in the room and without any reason). Later I discovered that it was the gap in those thoughts that made me realize my Being (as Eckhart says in The Power of Now). At this moment in my life, it's all gone. I cannot sustain it for more than a second. I so want to go back to those days again where I could do that. I had reached a point where no sorrow or no happiness could affect me but it's all gone now. I am trying to get back to it slowly. And even now, my mouth automatically gets widened and I start smiling when I sustain it for a second. I used in those days and I think that was a contributing factor in my ability to sustain it for longer periods of time. Currently I am occupied with family and work and I think they are a huge distraction and I sometimes I think I should start living alone again to reach that vibration. Long story short, my question to anyone is - Is there a name for this thing? Perhaps it is called Mindfulness or like 'being in the now' ? Thank you.
+timestamps1212 It is just a different state. maybe of no thought. for a moment you realize you are not your thoughts and just experience life. then you start thinking how great it is and it is gone. that is because you still identify as your thoughts. you think you have a self.
+timestamps1212 you described The power of NOW -of being present (ˆ◡ˆ) fleeting and then it's gone and then its back and so on.

Rose Evans That's all just pretty talk and fuck all to do with the truth really. The truth is you have no self. Being "present" with your self is a bad second place prize. You're having a nicer dream but that's it. That's cool if that's what you want. If you want to wake up being in the present for a few moments isn't going to do it. Nor will a few hours. Nor a few days.
"If you identify with thinking you are powerless, because you are not there, ... you are run by collective mental patterns!" wow... that's powerful. Thank You so much!
If you strike a tuning fork to produce a tone, and place another tuning fork next to it, the new fork will begin to resonate at the same frequency. Thoughts are vibrations, they are energy. Life does not happen to you, it is attracted to you by your thoughts and emotions.Overcoming old programming and unconscious behaviour is where the work is. Thank you Eckhart, for the wisdom you impart to help lead us out of the maze of self imposed suffering.
He is really an enlightened being living in the current era of humanity. Absolutely beautiful to listen to his wisdom always. It makes 100% sense to me when I listen to him. Because I can relate his wisdom with my own experience
Anchor yourself in the now but do not battle your thoughts, allow them to come into your mind and acknowledge them then observe as they simply exit. Gradually this presence in the now will become natural.
As a teen I had a teacher who pulled me aside and wrote down the name of a book and it's author. You sir was the author, and the book was Illusions. She was my English teacher who silently took favor on me. She though big thing awaited me s a writer. She had the class room write a poem for Fire Prevention Week. Weeks later during class the schools principal came over the intercom, and announced that the winner of the poem contest was our very own Carolyn Barlow. She had turned in my poem, with out telling me anything about it I was totally surprised. The poem was on display in Downtown Houston for a while, and I never got the poem back. She saw something in me, that I never knew I was capable of. Thanks for your writing. You were an inspiration on my early years. Most I ever wrote was a couple of cook books. that I never sent off to print. Maybe one day I will.
wow this guy is good! I have just recently discovered him. It's like I'm at a certain point where I'm blocked and he pierces right through it. Wonderful!
....I'm afraid we are all going to have to get in line! I love him too. He is endearing, wildly in tune and just plain adorable. His giggle~laugh just tears me up. What a beautiful soul.
No wonder sometimes I think my thoughts are against me. I disagree with some of my thoughts. They are ridiculous. I thought I had split personalities or I'm a very contradictory person. Now I am aware of these floating, self generated rubbish. Need to train my mind. I started with clearing and cleaning my physical space. Make sure they are not cluttered and I think that helps.
Our thoughts are not ours at all. They come from outside - all kinds of sources. Just let them in, examine them, and let them go. Just realize that they are not yours. An effective meditation technique is the "not me, not mine" meditation. Each time you notice that a thought arises you just label it "not me, not mine".
at 6:00 minutes when he mentions the mind latching on and pretending to be me I just turned to my mind like "You Bastard, this whole time I trusted you."
Been shot with an arrrow remind me of a zen story. There was bunch of zen monk that discuss if it was that the flag that move or is it the wind that move that flag.. then the zen master walk past them and said "the only thing that moves is your wandering mind"
1;02 - :08 - I swear, this dude constantly brings himself to the present moment every time someone stops speaking and he's about to reply, he seems so grounded.
I love you too Eckhart so millions of persons are loving you are making more strong and conscioussess so you become much more than a spiritual teacher now you are a prophet
Blaming the mind is simplistic - it's really the untrained mind - being unaware of your mind or not trained to discern the difference between thoughts, feelings and pure awareness , is where people hit a barrier.
After years of talk therapy, I can say I pretty much understand where all my issues come from. But none of that matters without a method of turning all that off. Presence turns it all off.
I love how he used the bubbles way to describe thoughts in a metaphorical sense. From the understanding that has revealed itself via meditation, thought is nothing more than a series of emanations that only get perceived in their abstract state from your conscious lens of perspective because they resonate with some sort of emotion or reaction inherent within the person. They are kind of like bubbles, they are formless bubbles that have a source inherent in the collective consciousness yet they can be perceived via the level of importance we apply to them. These bubble emanations do not have clear boundary lines and they vary in intensity, but they are formless emanations perceived of by the consciousness to occupy the ego and it's desire to interpret the thought from a POV that emphasizes the importance of the thought and it's relation to your being (which is false of course because the thought only effects the ego, Being is unaffected by the thought).
A brilliant speaker, in talking about the universal mind and thoughts are ours . I say that the ground stuff of both the universal mind and individual mind is one and. the same. Thoughts do not exist without awareness, so it is the ground. In tibetan buddhism, it is called luminosity.
exactly,i agree with strbat,if the intention of asking this question is to attain freedom, we still have to live with suffering in different form in this life, the main point is how to remain sane and resilient despite of all this uncertain adversities...
Everyone has one point of view; But I heard krishnamurti said before when they ask the same question: Thoughts are limited and they come from memory::: which makes sense Thought is a recycle thing That we learned from people in the past such as teachers philosophers, etc.
Guys if you want to know the origin of your thoughts i suggest you read the Nature of Life e-book by Brian schaeffer it tells you exacly the types of thoughts you have at any given moment its 18 origins and how to consciously connect with your intuition. Bless your Souls much Love and Light
I would suggest reading (repeatedly) the Bhagavat Gita. There is a great message that the BMI (this Body, Mind, Intellect) is not our true self (our soul or pure consciousness).
I love how Eckhart answered, this really gave me more clarity on that subject. I came across this thought before but couldn't really put it into the right words to ask the right question as she did. With regards to the woman in this video, she has a high energy or level of consciousness this is what everyone is picking up and in turn finding her attractive physically (which is the lie/distraction/collective thought) rather than spiritually or consciously (which would be the truth). This is what I perceived.
Aurobindo said thoughts are not OURS, though they look "coloured" by our experience. They are produced by Prakriti, Nature, versus Purusha, the global or individual consciousness
@@itsMohitAwasthi Google Sri Aurobindo. He is an ocean in himself. However, for the best intro to him and his yoga, you can read the book by a French disciple of his: Adventure of Consciousness. It's soft copy is available for free online.
wow what a lovely gesture "I love you" with a gentle sweet n lovely tone from a young, vibrant, attractive and a gorgeous lady. And Eckhart take it so gently as he always does it every time. what a lovely scene,I am in love with this lady.peace to all
Anyone else watching Joe Dispenza and seeing the uncanny parallels between this talk specifically and his own talks about energy and the quantum field? Crazy.
you must be conciously aware of every thought this is how you take control of your life you must do this everyday and stay focused on love and its meaning and learn from it
thoughts are even started when we are young and play like the children we were (are at that time) but our thoughts are manipulated to have lots of responsability in life .. and there where it can go wrong if you cant control them.
The heart senses emotional information five to seven seconds before it happens, while the brain senses it three to five seconds beforehand. So not only are emotions important contributors to our output of thoughts, but they may be one of the best ways to influence and create a change in what and how we think. In 1974, the French researchers Gahery and Vigier, stimulated the vagus nerve (which carries signals from heart to the brain) in cats and found that the heart and nervous system were not simply following the brain’s directions. In 1983, the heart was reclassified as an endocrine gland when a new hormone called atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), which affects blood vessels, kidneys, adrenal glands and regulatory regions in the brain, was found to be being produced by the heart. Dr. J. Andrew Armour discovered the heart also contains a cell type known as intrinsic cardiac adrenergic (ICA), which synthesizes and releases neurotransmitters once thought to be produced only by neurons in the brain and nerve ganglia. The heart starts beating in an unborn fetus before the brain has been formed, a process scientists call “autorhythmic.” Dr. Armour introduced the concept of a functional “heart brain” in 1991. Considered an independent entity, the heart’s brain is composed of an elaborate network of neurons, support cells and neurotransmitters which enables it to process information, learn, remember and produce feelings of the heart and then transmit this information from one cell to another. “We observed the heart was acting as though it had a mind of its own and was profoundly affecting perception, intelligence and awareness,” explained McCraty. According to Goleman, it’s a person’s EQ (Emotional Quotient) that enables them to succeed in life as much or more than their IQ (Intelligence Quotient). During the ‘60s and ’70s pioneer physiologists John and Beatrice Lacey conducted research that showed that the heart actually communicates with the brain in ways that greatly affect how we perceive and react to the world around us. Neurologist Antonio Damasio stresses the rationality of emotion in his book Descartes’ Error, where he emphasizes the importance of emotions in decision-making. He points out that patients with brain damage in the areas of the brain that integrate the emotional and cognitive systems can no longer effectively function in the day-to-day world, even though their mental abilities are perfectly normal.
+Teenage muslimah I agree with your initial remarks, and also believe our emotional states dictate much of our thoughts. For instance, when we are in a ''good mood'', our thoughts are very different than when we are in a ''bad mood''. This mood is usually experienced around the heart and our faces, it can be felt and is not the same as thoughts. Emotions of joy, happiness, love etc.. give us good feelings and fuel the type of thoughts we'll have.
Eckhart Tolle is the BEST! Excellent knowledge, such a great way as to explain and teach, peaceful, and fantastic humor that helps the learning. LOVE YOU! I would love to go to one of your retreat but when can you come in Canada, in Montréal or Québec city?! Please. Thank you so much.
'Collective mind' implies that it is an actual thing. For description, I prefer the phrase, 'Collective patterns'. They are a matrix of connotations and attachments, an inevitable product of an individual perspective. If one sees that they are not an individual, they cease to identify with 'collective patterns' and grow distant from them.
It´such easy Eckhart, I can easily keep all together, my 30 years engagement to know myself. Es ist eine Zusammenfassung von Buddha Lehre, T.M., Zen Meditation, Karmische Weisheit, Psychologisches Wissen..... Danke Eckhart! Namaste! Beppo Battistini aus Südtirol.
Individual thoughts may be arising like this -Thoughts originate perhaps, when the consciousness masquerading as EGO connects with senses and receives experiences.The more the reception through senses and resultant experiences, the more the EGO try to relate it to them ,generating multiple thoughts.Relating to past or an imaginary future point is developed by habit.This become more cascading when actions of self, others are also included.
There are two kinds of people: 1) Type 1 keeps getting hit by arrows, and keeps removing them. 2) Type 2 asks where they come from, and stops getting hit by arrows in the first place.
Where does thoughts/ideas come from? This has been one baffling question asked for millennia. It is really amazing the things we can think of and then what is even more amazing is the action put forth in completing the thought or idea. Before anything can be uttered or done, first there must be a thought which is the original originator of all things created, therefore a much more important significance should be given on this fact provided. What intelligence is it that is behind all the mystery of men who can't even begin to understand his or her own thoughts! We all know that we are extremely powerful and capable of achieving all that we aspire to do in life, it is up to the individual to acquire what he or she wants out of life which was gifted.
So in other words, thoughts are like CZcams videos. They're all out there at once, about everything imaginable. Things you love, things you hate, positive and negative. You choose which ones you want to see based on how you feel.
My practice, when a thought arises in my mind, I ask the question, who does it belong to?? Then it's gone
I know the collective mind is a real thing because when I lived in a different culture where a different language was spoken, I became aware that I was outside something real and when I returned to my own culture I remained outside of its "collective mind," so travel not only broadens mind it creates an opportunity to recognize mind as something outside ourselves.
Songwriters often say they didn't write the song " it just came to them", as if they are channelling, a huge and interesting topic.
Focus on the gap between thoughts. And make that gap bigger.
Peace comes when you observe your thoughts without identifying with them.

"I love you", the way she said is amazing.

Unusually = Very in context of this post
Hope this clarifies the confusion

According to Goleman, it’s a person’s EQ (Emotional Quotient) that enables them to succeed in life as much or more than their IQ (Intelligence Quotient).
During the ‘60s and ’70s pioneer physiologists John and Beatrice Lacey conducted research that showed that the heart actually communicates with the brain in ways that greatly affect how we perceive and react to the world around us.
Neurologist Antonio Damasio stresses the rationality of emotion in his book Descartes’ Error, where he emphasizes the importance of emotions in decision-making. He points out that patients with brain damage in the areas of the brain that integrate the emotional and cognitive systems can no longer effectively function in the day-to-day world, even though their mental abilities are perfectly normal.
well researcher have different theories almost opposite from each other. but I think mostly thoughts are came from unconscious mind ..
What you say could be true :)
+Teenage muslimah I agree with your initial remarks, and also believe our emotional states dictate much of our thoughts. For instance, when we are in a ''good mood'', our thoughts are very different than when we are in a ''bad mood''. This mood is usually experienced around the heart and our faces, it can be felt and is not the same as thoughts. Emotions of joy, happiness, love etc.. give us good feelings and fuel the type of thoughts we'll have.
Eckhart Tolle is the BEST! Excellent knowledge, such a great way as to explain and teach, peaceful, and fantastic humor that helps the learning. LOVE YOU! I would love to go to one of your retreat but when can you come in Canada, in Montréal or Québec city?! Please. Thank you so much.
'Collective mind' implies that it is an actual thing. For description, I prefer the phrase, 'Collective patterns'. They are a matrix of connotations and attachments, an inevitable product of an individual perspective. If one sees that they are not an individual, they cease to identify with 'collective patterns' and grow distant from them.
I am not my thoughts. I'm thinking them, creating them, molding them to my will.
It´such easy Eckhart, I can easily keep all together, my 30 years engagement to know myself.
Es ist eine Zusammenfassung von Buddha Lehre, T.M., Zen Meditation, Karmische Weisheit, Psychologisches Wissen..... Danke Eckhart! Namaste!

8:20 blew my mind. Great question!
Try to think of a thought!
My first thought scrolling for the comment section was that I am going in for some thought patterns right here
Individual thoughts may be arising like this -Thoughts originate perhaps, when the consciousness masquerading as EGO connects with senses and receives experiences.The more the reception through senses and resultant experiences, the more the EGO try to relate it to them ,generating multiple thoughts.Relating to past or an imaginary future point is developed by habit.This become more cascading when actions of self, others are also included.
I also have the feeling, that we build the brain so complex and perfect it created its own life its own entity.
Beautiful Explanation.Much Love from Sri Lanka
thoughts are not bothersome without uncomfortable feelings. it's the feelings that need addressing.
Tolle is and has been a huge power in the walls of every jail I've ever went to...big facts
Thought arises from the ego , then intelligence arises from thought :)
Very well written Sharon..
Thoughts are just a reaction to everything around us.

There are two kinds of people:
1) Type 1 keeps getting hit by arrows, and keeps removing them.
2) Type 2 asks where they come from, and stops getting hit by arrows in the first place.

God bless you Eckhart 😇
Where does thoughts/ideas come from? This has been one baffling question asked for millennia. It is really amazing the things we can think of and then what is even more amazing is the action put forth in completing the thought or idea. Before anything can be uttered or done, first there must be a thought which is the original originator of all things created, therefore a much more important significance should be given on this fact provided. What intelligence is it that is behind all the mystery of men who can't even begin to understand his or her own thoughts! We all know that we are extremely powerful and capable of achieving all that we aspire to do in life, it is up to the individual to acquire what he or she wants out of life which was gifted.
+Franco Prest Interesting did you read this or work it out yourself?
God I love insightful people!
