The teachings in this video come from Eckhart Tolle's book, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose", which encourages readers to live their lives in each present moment and to create happiness for themselves without emphasizing material possessions. Tolle's intent is to change the way human beings think, and he envisions a world population that is increasingly humble, enlightened and pure. According to Tolle, the book's purpose "is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness".

Plants are the most peaceful living creatures on this planet.
I would love to hear a botanists take on that statement!
Salokym x To clarify, I’m talking about invasive or parasitic plants such as czcams.com/video/ZqXT2Iwua98/video.html

And still, thet are rooted within dirt and mud. 😘
Wow this is the video I have been looking for all my life. Last year in January I ingested 300ug of LSD and I fell in love with flowers for the first time. I never saw any beauty or meaning in flowers before that. It was like trees and flowers are messengers from a different dimension showing a message of continuation which cannot be put into words. I would just moan with pleasure when I see them because they are so beautiful and underappreciated. I will never forget that day. I was cured of my depression and fell in love with life. I had a new profound appreciation for life and my life has been beautiful ever since!😍
Nice mate, but moaning with pleasure at the sight of a flower...
@@rorythompson864 don’t knock it til you try it dog
thats beautiful
I'm happy for you🙌🏼sounds beautiful💎
I am very happy for your soul
3:18 damn that dog is baked
All creatures get stoned in the future after skool sees for us
I'm losing it.....lmao so funny
Also the dog in 5:48
@Blackston3 That dog is my new spirit animal hahaha
I walk around admiring/feeling the essence of the flowers and birds. They are me and I am them. They make me smile and this is the realm that I live in. I see the Divine in all of life. Just watch a lamb for a little while or look long enough in presence at a flower. Such grace. All is an expression of the Infinite One, and so are you.
I am the same. Always looking up and admiring
''For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart. And there I wander, breathlessly, always looking breathlessly'' -Don Juan Metas
Tears when he said “Flowers are the enlightenment of plants 🌱 “ 😭❤️ my heart! I love them 😍🌷🌹💐🌼🌸🌺🌻🥀
Do you smell flowers daily? I highly recommend this practice :)
Flowers also teach you forgiveness as they release their fragrances when you crush them.
Enlightenment is when the wave realizes it is the ocean or when a caterpillar becomes the butterfly.
Beautiful video brother, great examples
THANK YOU!
You're thinking too far into it. They dont teach you forgiveness. If you crush a lady bug, it releases a scent too, and it doesn't smell like forgiveness. A lot of Physical matter has a scent and exposing and agitating the particles to release it has nothing to do with a conscious action or intention. That's all in your prescription and interpretation
@@toughluck8012 We were talking about and using examples of flowers, roses ect... not beetles and bugs. Lets not think too far into the future and remain more present shall we?
@@toughluck8012 are you afraid that some people think otherwise? , or you just have a burning desire to impose what you believe in? :) everybody can believe whatever they want, it works for them, as what you said works for you:)
@@turbonbc this was literally the stupidest reply you could have come up with
Enlightenment is not connecting to god, it is remembering that you are a part of god. If god is the earth then you are the tree thats roots burrow deep into its essence🙏🏼
That is so interesting! Ive been thinking about how we all are Gods, because of how we build our own worlds with how we live, and then introduce those ideas to each other.
Your belief pivots toward that we are all connected to God: we are the earth that we were created from. We act as this planet's agents or even children, and this earth is has provided so much for us. That's what I see, from what you posted. Thank you for that!

You worship the creator not the creation. Flowers are nice yes but it’s still a creation. God created all......now that is amazing.
@@1jw298 nobody created the flower or mankind, we are a part of the earth.
Benjamin Dupuy we are living in biblical times my friend, you will see soon enough. Hopefully you will you will see the light before your end. Jesus is real and he is coming back. We have to go through some troubled times first unfortunately. This pandemic is just the beginning. God bless my friend
I had this happen to me at 19. I saw myself like I saw myself when I was young. I saw that I wasn't any idea of myself and lost interest in thinking about myself and gained infinite interest in the moment I was in. I was completely aware of my awareness. My body felt beaming with life, like it was alive on its own. I was like a ghost loving all that was present. There was a knowing beyond thinking. I knew that I knew that I knew. It lasted a day and was fading away as I tried to recapture it in thought. None of this was due to using any drug. It happened out of a strong feeling of being trapped. I caved into that feeling and thoughts slowly stopped as I didn't notice at the time. I was blown away realizing I wasn't thinking. There was something else going on. I believe that I lost interest in the moment and gained interest in what was happening in the moment.
God, we thank you for the beauty of our planet and the perfect universe we reside in!❤❤❤
“The earth laughs in flowers”
I like that....earth laughs in flowers, well in that case the Earth has a beautiful laugh
-Ralph Waldo Emerson 🌸
@Poo Jr that’s exactly where I saw it!! Lol
I remember when I was a kid I just got home from my grandpa's funeral and I went outside to walk around the backyard and there was a random flower. I remember it felt like it was looking at me and I just sat by it..lol and yes I was a loner kid who used to walk around by himself lol
You see what nobody else sees
thats me now lol
@ophiophagus Hannah Im sure that was your grandpas soul in some form or another symbolizing hes always with you and watching out for you.
@@Malaka1689 peace and love
there's nothing wrong with walking by yourself, that's where you learn most about the world
It’s no coincidence that I ended up here. Thank you After Skool, your light-spreading actions will not go unnoticed. 𓂀
awwwww thank you! and so will yours :)
@lukas i see youre serious by your comment but your profile picture gives me questions lol
Ive always been fascinated by the language of flowers. I wanted to name my daughter after a flower, but I couldn't decide on just one, so I named her Meadow-in my mind it encompass' them all.
thank you for your work. the planet is awakening ❤️
I'm not sure it is
We are coming out of a world where information and ideas weren't as readily available as they are today with the Internet. Give it time.
I just had a synchronicity 2 minutes after watching this video. My wife came in and told me she just had a spiritual experience listening to music on CZcams with headphones. Yes there is a universal consciousness.
Indeed! :)
Confirmation bias
czcams.com/play/PLnKCW8kKJXXVwkxLJqKWSCxsEIyNC29iF.html
Wow that is an amazing example of the confirmation bias! Thank you!
I understand there are meaningful spiritual experiences people have. What I don’t understand is why these videos never focus on the ways our limited perception can distort reality, and project what we are experiencing onto the outside world. For example.. are you sure there is a collective awakening? What if a synchronicity is just uncanny coincidence that you notice as profound simply because.. you can ONLY notice what you can notice. We know people have paved the road to hell with good intentions in religion, what about spirituality could be harmful? It’s an amazing perspective switch, but I often feel like all spirituality actually is is leading people into the depths of their own limited perspective and then leaving them there without a way out. What if.. a vast world exists outside yourself.. and spiritual moments are just glimpses into a persons potential to change and interact with that world at any given moment. Be careful with the reality you “create” because it only exists for you. Many empaths could just as easily be described as unhealed emotionally unregulated trauma victims. And trauma doesn’t just come about randomly.. people inflict in.
“As long as there is a flower, memories of a higher world cannot be extinguished.” Martinus, Livets Bog, vol. 1, sect. 183.
“That joy or sense of pleasure which the more developed terrestrial people feel on a sunlit summer day when the corn is waving in the breeze and gardens and meadows bloom in a profusion of flowers while the caress of their colour and fragrance penetrates the mind and the thoughts, is thus a reflection of the atmosphere from regions lighter and purer than the rough and lethal material world.” Martinus, Livets Bog, vol. 1, sect. 183.
“The great profusion of beautiful flowers in meadows and gardens with their multitudinous and varied colour combinations and delightful scents is thus "intuition" and "memory" transformed into physical appearance.” Martinus, Livets Bog, vol. 2, sect. 359.
I recall a moment I went for a run in the chilly morning air,after a while I paused and while in stillness a humming bird rested on my fingers.
I really enjoyed that moment 🥰
Recently I have been drawn to see how hawks fly, how they look for their prey, they are so confident and powerful. I also love flowers but people say that these are interests of old ladies wtf? Thank you universe for bringing me to this wonderful video!!
Plants and flowers are Earth's emotions ❤️
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
-William blake
Vergil that you?
In my first trip on lsd I see flower of life really amazing sagrade geometry
Soo I'm guessing the lesson of the flower is- you have to open up in order to expose the beauty within
Nope
I like this perspective a lot! 🙏🏻❤☮☯️🕉🌌
That’s how I feel too I have to let the love flow through me in and out
When I awakened 2 years ago, I didn't know about eckhart yet I had the experience. My ego dissolved and core self arised. 😊 I said the following : I'm your little flower, you will water me.
majestic, full of peace and reflection
Trees and plants around us teach "stillness" 🌼
It isn't the flower that matters, but the fruit it bares is what's important.
@William Loudermilk I'm talking philosophically
That or the flower themselves can be eaten. Or seeds for consumption or to grow more food.
Let me put things into perspective:
Let's say flowers are symbolized as humans, insects and birds are symbolized as society, pollen is symbolized as stress, and a fruit is our wellbeing and influence on others.
We humans experience certain forms of stress and it is society's job to help us alleviate our stress.
Society is filled with materialism, negative media entertainment, social division through ethnicity, religion, race, color and gender. Now are these birds and insects (society) considered an appropriate removal for pollen (stress)? Yes, you'll have a pretty looking flower (a celebrity) but what kind of fruit will it bare for us, especially the young ones? On top of that, if you wanna grow (raise) more flowers (children) with such a tainted/broken society (birds/insects), then what kind of fruit will it bare for us? That's a bad apple right there.
That's the problem with our world today, we have focused so much on looking like pretty flowers just to fit in and we have forgotten the fruit we can possibly produce. In other words, we have become selfish instead humble, narcissistic instead of content, and hateful instead of caring.
@@77530jp pollen is what flowers need to make more seeds, not more flowers. Flowers are just a part of a plant. Who's importance doesn't just revolve around a flower. That's like a human bragging about a body part. I can see where you were going with that analogy but pollen doesn't even have to do with how "pretty" a flower. (Specially since pretty is subjective) I like the big picture thinking tho :)
@@CesarMartinez-ml4ml yup, that's what I mean. We humans are self centered and we have weakened our interest in caring for others. Stress (pollen) or suffering is needed in order to grow. But if you receive excess stress without the proper amount of alleviation from society then the plant will just bare flowers or nothing at all, instead of the plant baring fruits. It's all eye candy and desires, no knowledge or wisdom. So pollen (stress) in our mordern society has a lot to do with looking good for society's terms of being "successful" or looking like a pretty flower.
How many times do you or others find themselves saying, "oh I want to be like that person when I grow up!"? Society gives you answer but in their own terms. In other words, you become a flower in their garden, or you become the character in their (the powers that be) book.
*be the author of your own book! Be a gardener yourself for your loved ones, instead of having society be the gardener for you and others!*
I'm symbolically talking about how deception can reel you into someone's elses interest and control. I'm reflecting off humanity and our evolution🤗
If you are pollinated by society's tainted desires and advertising, then you're just a plant producing flowers (ignorance/inflated egos) instead fruits (knowledge/wisdom). The fruit is self understanding and self reflection, bringing forth the realization of the connection of the whole (all living creatures)
"The intuitive mind (fruit/intuition) is a sacred gift and the rational mind (flower/ego) is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." ~ Albert Einstein
Plants remind us to be still. Take a moment out of your day to be still.
I wish you made longer videos....I would be happy with 30mins to an hour. I could watch these videos all day
I need more of these videos. Can't get enough
ok... look , maybe this ... ? >> czcams.com/play/PLnKCW8kKJXXVwkxLJqKWSCxsEIyNC29iF.html
That makes so much sense... I always found it so strange that we're drawn to crystals. I wonder if Art is an enlightened form of human creativity, as it offers absolutely no benefit to survival, yet we crave art.. and can gain joy just from admiring it.
To see das world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower.
To hold infinity in de palm of my hands
And eternity in an hour glass.
I love flowers.
Now it’s crystals 💎💯🙏
No it's trees.
No
Earth is an enlightened planet
Look at the beauty in the world, like, smile, love and kindness, love it, If you see ugly like unkindness, cruelty and so on. Hate it. Easy pease 👍🐣
Your translation with your drawings, help to understand Eckhart Tolle's teachings. Thank you!
Plants are part of Mother Earth and the Gaia Spirit and pure Joy for the Soul they are Love and so we are as well ❣️
But as we know this situation of flowers enchancing consiousness just shows how important beauty is🌼
This video is a very well packaged message from Eckhart Tolle. Truly a gem! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed life everyone...
This video brings enlightenment. Thank you for your time uploading and sharing. Namaste 🌺
THANK YOU🤗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I am reading this book now! I would highly recommend it! 💕
Love afterskool channel reminding myself of the good vibes they bring.
All about the good vibes! :)
Absolutely love your videos on enlightenment. Very well done!
aw thank you!!
One of the most important videos on youtube. Thank you.
A thousand thanks for this material!
There is something about this that I really appreciate.
Man, I was just randomly thinking about this section of the book today, and now this is in my recommend. Haven't pulled that book off the shelf in 8 or 9 years. Weird.
You are doing beautiful work. Keep sharing important truths. We awaken with you.
Before 20-25yrs. ago when I was 5-10yrs. of age, I remember having dreams of us humans living amongst or even with, tall plants and at least from what I can remember i was feeling pretty calm and peaceful.
Lol I like when the characters blink 😂
Kæî Dröñzér i scrolled down just to see when and if anyone else caught that. Lol
I was tripping out trying to figure out if that was really happening or if i was seeing things lmao

*wink wink* 😉 lmao
Just got God bumps 🥰💕💕💕💕🎁🙏🕊😇
I smile like a flower, not only with my lips, but with my whole being.
OUTSTANDING video, thank you, much appreciated. A+
Saint Francis was one of only a few in his time to deem flowers worthy of cultivation. They say he saw how a bright garden brought about bees and birds and all sorts of life, and figured they were some of the purest work of God~
Absolutely love it! Beautifully illustrated.
Aw Thank you!
Wow, more videos like this please....👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It seems You're doing your part in this world.. thy thank you..
Appreciate the work you put into these 🤯

Flowers have their own unique language...
I wonder how the first flowers looked like since they were way different than they are today
Similar to the magnolia, or thats what they say.
Huge flowers
Great stuff. And so practical, thanks!
GOD BLESSYOU ALL
How coincidental, I had just read this part of the book a few hours ago! 🌺🌸🌼🌻🌹🌷💐
love it
Flowers do have survival value as many of them are super common edibles and some taste really good. Honey suckle, chocolate daisies, rose, violet, sunflower, dandelion, hibiscus, sage, mint. We likely first collected flowers as food and certain flowers were favored for their taste or medical uses like datura and poppy.
So good!
Beautiful skillful
Very knowledgeable and intelligent ...💚
Your art style is fascinating!
Did you know? The essence or energy of flowers have an impact on living beings. There are specific flowers that from their energy pattern, help us become aware of our emotions. And therefore, work on them. Work on ourselves. Fear, Hate, Envy, attachment, proud, insecurities, unresolved traumas, and many more... even flowers that help us to connect with our path in life... what with love. Of course there are skeptics, but I have seen them work effectively for more than 10 years... And know people that have been done it for more. Ah! And by improving our emotional-mental sphere... we can prevent and even cure diseases or physical pain.
Flowers are the symbol of love, peace, and admiration.
They are amazing because they can teach us to love, and to appreciate the Divine creation. However, that's just a tinny fragment of enlightenment.
There isn't any enlightenment in believing in any sort of divinity. Learn some science, mate.
Enlightenment is a bruh moment
@@thedarknight5714 you got the things the other way around. Enlightenment is something magical, science is not. Science exists because of the Divine (or however you'd like to call it). The Truth cannot be explained by science, however, science can be explained by the Truth (Divine).
@@schizo7099 or an 'AHA!' moment :)
This would very strongly correlate to the legend of Quetzalcoatl and the idea that nectar or some kind of sap was used in the Ankh that would have given life to what ever it touched. Flower are heavily underated in modern science, flowers are virtually carved into almost every major ancient civilization art work and history.
Beautiful video, drawings and visuals is stunning
Thank you!
yes..mushrooms and ayahuasca
That was amazing thank you 🙏💜🕉🌈🌍
What is a kid attracted to as soon as they can walk..a flower, either in their own garden, or the neighbors..ha .. even a weed they find beautiful..and want to pick it immediately and give it to the one they love..their Mom..or a friend..never forget that..it's magic..flowers are magic.look at the way they are put together..only a God could create such colour, such balance..and on and on..
