No genuine knowledge or truths are ever learned by thinking, thinking merely leads us to come up with beliefs, opinions, ideas and fears. Genuine knowledge and truth can only ever come from personal observation, experience and not thinking 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

Truth is utterly impersonal. What is seen with the eyes or heard with the ears is finite, limited and hence not reality. You as you know and experience yourself will never know or touch Truth. Only Truth beholds (knows) truth. There is no such thing as the Power of Now. There is Power that is Now, literally!

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

@@words4dyslexicon Words cannot meet the occasion but if one is going to write or speak of what is true, real, or valid one must start with what is. In other words, one must start with what is present, with what is being, with what exists. Indeed, this is what the word “is” means. No speculation. The one way life is would be the one that truly “is.” Consciousness is not conscious of the present but as the present.

what is the point of my being here? from Tolles message, what it is saying to me, "to be present, to be a conductor of presence.." to live in such a way that presence is welcomed, not put aside, a quote came to me today, "you can't skip the truth, or it will skip you." presence, honoring the present moment, is a truth i can feel, and a prerequisite to feeling peace?

If thoughts are following you round, like naughty monkeys, stop throwing them bananas! (Giving them your attention). One by one they'll slink away and you'll have peace

[@chasefancy3092]

Encompassing a foundation of "truth" , embellishes a paradoxical dilemma defined by what is "sought" rather than what is "Perceived." The crux of an antecedent invokes "intrinsic value" , if and only if, the premise indoctrinates intellectual virtue. The "True Self" is a reflection of how the ontological presence of "meaning" is an innate infrastructure in correlation with God. When "Purpose" , "Truth", and "Causation" have tangible , substantive merit, one can disclose the fundamental aspect of epistemology through "A Posteriori" sequencing.

[@TerriblePerfection]

Yes, thoughts just arise, and I've never heard any spiritual teacher suggest that we can stop them. In my opinion, this wasn't Eckhart's strongest talk. I've found it helpful to reside in the gaps between thoughts, and not to follow them. Just notice what arises, without attachment or judgment. Thinking happens...because we're human and have language. Imagine the awareness of an infant, before it learns how to speak. Just awareness. That's our true self. 😊

[@Bobsbigbuoy]

Thinking, at the end of the day, happens automatically. One cannot stop thinking, as this is resistance to normal cognition, and resisting what is. Rather, learn to enjoy thinking, and be aware and be selective of what thoughts to give attention to. “Stop Thinking” is an absurdity, and anyone foolish enough to believe stopping thinking has anything to do with spirituality is mistaken. It is your REACTION to thinking (you cannot stop it) that determines spiritual progress/mastery.

[@words4dyslexicon]

Tolle has said " i don't have to think if i don't want to.." I take him at his word becuz I have had glimpses of being so enveloped in conscious awareness that thinking/ thoughts fell away, but that was either a spontaneous state or via meditation, I truly believe Tolle has access to "awareness without thinking" effortlessly.

Yes, once they are no longer urgent, once there is healthy detachment, it isn't about suppressing anything and the stop technique doesn't work too well, so it is about knowing one doesn't have to move with a thought in some sense, stop thinking but only by allowing thought..

About the bliss and its "fading". As far as I understand this "zen bliss" is mostly connected with the absence of material possessions and also material fame.

I stopped thinking once... and almost became a Christian. I vowed to avoid ever letting it happen again... even if it gets me a 3 year high that only fades when I build up a tolerance to the self imposed and self deceptive high. Go through and demand a specific definition for ever word this person says. There is a lot of feel good fancy ideas wrapped up in verbiage that breaks down in to absolutely nothing special. "Honor the present moment" "The work asked of you is soul destroying because it is unpleasant. " "Youre surrounded by people in negative states." "Only you know if you can do that or if you need to remove your self and do something that is more compatible with presence.." Seriously....define this for me in a way that isnt wrapped around selling a book. Life is hard. Making choices is scary. Finding out you made a less than perfect choice is tough to face. This guy is literally effing talking about choosing a window seat or aisle on an airplane. "If its not particularly interesting like if youre trapped on a bus or airplane...and then you need to focus on the fact that you are." If you need a near 15m video to point out to you that friking exist AND that you should spend your down time thinking about how to make good choices...well I dont even know how to relate to you as a member of the same species. If you dont have the capacity to go this "deep" on your own then I truly dont even want to participate in what ever society you contribute to building. This is....sincerely...2nd grade stuff. You can take this hard truth as an insult and dislike me for saying it outloud, or you can sit down and try to catch up.

I've been following Eckhart for 17 years. I commented because it popped up in my KZbin feed. And just realized how divorced Eckhart is with the real world. But hey if it works for you that's great. Eckhart saying that thinking is bad is really unhealthy. Unless you're some Guru that can sit around all day long meditating this does not work only in small bursts. But he does not teach that. He teaches to stay in the present moment throughout the day all day long as much as you can. This does not work. Not for people who have jobs and have kids and have to take care of things. Not everyone can sit around on a park bench contemplating the issues in the world like he does

It's obvious that you haven't understood what Eckhart says. You probably haven't heard any of his talks or read his books. It's not about "never thinking". You obviously have to live your life, work, socialise, confront worldly problems like everybody. His point is to go about it without getting wholly dragged into it. To be an observer of your thoughts and actions. His way of expressing this is when he says "to be present". No drama, no excessive unnecessary thinking.
