  • In this insightful video, spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle addresses the concept of spiritual bypassing - using presence and awareness as a means to avoid dealing with unresolved pain and issues. Eckhart Tolle clarifies that genuine awareness allows one to fully experience emotions without repression, emphasizing that authentic spiritual practices involve confronting and feeling one's pain rather than bypassing it. He highlights the importance of not mistaking avoidance for true spiritual progress. Eckhart Tolle's message encourages viewers to embrace the necessary emotional work for real growth and transformation.
    Eckhart describes the suffering inherent in the pursuit of “egoic fulfillment” and how turning to the mind rarely, if ever, produces inspired solutions. In this foundational talk, he shares guidance on remaining rooted in presence as we meet the challenges of our lives. Learn More: bit.ly/YT-trascending-ego

    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.

    Avoidance or presence is never avoidance.
    In awareness, you allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you feel.
    You are not repressing it in anyway.

    without the proper tools to deal with what is being avoided, the "present awareness" may always be nothing more than a calming escape that trains you to recognizes the shift from peace of mind.. I think I have some work to do.

    Please explain:
    I feel peacefull but I don't feel joyfull.

    • @ba-dy9xt
      @ba-dy9xt Před měsícem +2

      I am not anywhere near Eckhart but like you, I've felt peaceful but not happy. I think after a while, when the peace keeps staying with us, the deeper emotions start coming out. Restlessness begins. Our challenge would be to continue feeling the peace while allowing the restlessness to take over. When the first wave of restlessness dissolves, the next one comes. It might come in the form of anger or pain or sadness or just restlessness to do something new. But through it all, if we can continue feeling the peace, then I guess slowly happiness of the peace will start peeking out..

  • @uhhdudeuhhwhatsup
    @uhhdudeuhhwhatsup Před měsícem

    Spiritual bypassing is an enormous problem in the spiritual community. I don’t feel Eckhart properly addressed this problem whatsoever. The mind can use all sorts of means to deny and overlook pain, fear, whatever- and it can use spiritual teachings to do this. Oftentimes we will absolutely be convinced we are progressing spiritually whereas in truth we are filling our heads with the authority of external words and spiritual concepts. Genuine awareness and presence has no authority involved, and any external source (books, videos, gurus) can awaken presence. It’s a solo affair.

    Let me break this down as " I" see it.
    Who/what is using presence and awareness. quote; " I am". Well what is doing the prompting from within.
    Th physical source within is using its PRESENCE to enlighten your physical brain with its implemented Awareness tool to rid itself of spirituality in all forms. Your PRESENCE is in pain to have to put up with external beliefs from teachers and guru's which is opposed to the imprinted knowledge of your PRESENCE within. Evolve thee.
