Does Your Body (Form Identity) Make You Unhappy? | Eckhart Tolle

In this video, Eckhart discusses the importance of holding your form identity loosely. Form identity begins in the body, and identifying with form can create a lot of unhappiness. Instead, Eckhart recommends we go deeper until we find our essence identity.

He’s been speaking a lot about identity here lately. Probably because the ego is running so rampant in this world here lately

[@zenitsuwatts]

Not only that, but it never goes away completely. To have a rampant ego is to be human in a human society. See, Psychotherapy East and West, by Alan Watts

“Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.” -Pema Chodron

[@CitrusSimon]

Thank you for that. Sounds like a fearful thought will arise that will desire to be controlled, just to attempt to get rid of the fear, but if this thought is witnessed, then the choice to be calm, focused, and centred becomes more attractive! However... Inner peace is not the absence of conflict, nor the absence of challenge, but rather the capacity to be with what is, in each moment, without prejudice or judgement.

@@obscurum6 It is the ego you are talking about. And yes, it does all those things you mentioned. This is just one reason, if not the best reason to practice being aware of the present moment, and witnessing thoughts, thus with experience, gaining inner awareness of oneself, and even though thoughts may still arise, they are not identified with, which means they do not get projected onto oneself or others. Most of us, myself included, are still in recovery from identifying with the ego. It is the recovery that unites us.

[@johngreen4683]

Life is just an internal mental story 99% of the time, its possible to stop the stories by staying in the present moment and that is a good place to visit sometimes but a pretty boring place to live on a permanent basis in my opinion. Reality is what is happening right here right now and while of course there are facts about the past but when we think of the past it seldom stops at that one fact of what actually genuinely happened at that one moment in time, before we realise it our mind is off creating a story about that one moment and taking our attention and happiness with it. If we accept that 99% of our mental awareness and attention is just a story then we have a choice and decision to make, we either listen to our minds stories which tend to be negative fearful and anxious or we use our imagination ourselves to create stories we enjoy and makes us happy 😊. Its absolutely irrelevant whether we listen to our minds stories or create our own as either way its just a story and none of it is real, and as long as we remember none of its real we are free to choose a mind made horror story or our very own happy fictional fantasy story of our own choosing? People say your wasting your life living in a fantasy world and prefer to be more grounded, but in truth are they themselves not living in a fantasy horror story of worry fear and anxiety produced by their minds rather than themselves? Our worries about the future aren't real they are just the mind imagining the worse case scenario and are no more real than us deliberately imagining ourselves in a wonderful place having a wonderful time. Enjoy your mind and use it for happiness, rather than be used by it for unhappiness, fear, worry and misery 🙏😊👍❤️

Definitely. I was surprised he didn’t mention social media and the role that plays with identity and ego; another extension of form identity, just like clothing but even stronger.. “look at me, over here. This is me.” Right down the memes people share; not just selfies and rants. I tried to keep my Facebook up after my ego death but I noticed how much social media fanned the embers that were left, even with minimal posting. Every Like that people receive on there is fuel to the hungry fire that is the ego.

[@carbonerocampeon2009]

I admire Eckhart and consider him the most important spiritual teacher alive today. But this is the only point on which I disagree with him. All beliefs are relative and aging is one of them. We cannot necessarily enjoy having a pleasant physical appearance due to the egoic fact of comparing ourselves with others to feel superior. Personally, I've been practicing bodybuilding for more than 30 years and I can't even imagine that situation. I do it for the pleasure of creating and inspired purely from the connection with aesthetics. This enthusiasm inspires me to keep moving forward, and continue to increase my level of consciousness. By the way, I am fully aware that I am not a body, (nor what I think or feel).

[@NaikoArt]

if you do it because you enjoy it is not egoic, if your passion is pure you are getting closer to your inner creator, thats not the ego thats your creativity

[@CeferinoCenizo]

The question then is, how to loosen the form identification - in either direction?

[@Shalanaya]

When it comes to identity and gender with transgender people - Embodying consciously our gender for the first time can feel like dying of the false self that wants to defend itself, as that would probably make life easier, but inauthentic. Gender stands for the true feeling and self expression and recognition of one's body. It's an unblocking of the intereference from the mind, to be free to be ourselves the way we are. Gender is not an identity in an of itsel at that pointf, it is the way in which we are free of an identity in the mind to hide behind. It becomes an identity when we cling to it, then it can become a form identity again, perpetuating a vicious cycle. I want Mr.Eckhart Tolle to understand the subtle difference in what is actually happening in the consciousness of many trans gender people.Gender is a free pass to be true to our higher selves.

Eckhart teachings have helped me greatly with my mental pain and I still benefit from it everyday. But what do we do when the pain comes from the body itself? What if your body is making you miserable not because you identify with it but because it is suffering from a chronic condition which influences all parts of your life and you are suffering from its consequences in the present moment, every second of the day. What would you recommend in this case? I mean, to simply dis-identify with the body doesn't make the pain go away. Helpful advice on chronic illness / pain seems hard to find in the spiritual quarter. Any recommendations would be very welcome ☺️

@@FNT_SD thanks a lot. I have checked out but not dived into it deeply yet. Do you have any personal experience yourself which you could share?

[@FNT_SD]

@@essiees3151 i Could say that starting with Abrahm hicks made Eckhart tolle's teachings simpler to understand. I find his to be much more practical and provides a readily available method (withdrawing from thinking at any time). Abraham teaches the law of attraction and also encourages creation and "being one with the universe", both through accepting what is and having positive thoughts. Personally, it can be difficult, frustrating and mentally draining to constantly look for positive aspects on the various areas of life.. Finanances, relationships, possession etc. Just feels like lying to oneself. So having no thought and blending in makes more sense. The feeling is profound. Abraham does often say though that, "having no thought is better than negative thought" and that "You attract what you think whether you like it or not" or "You are the creator of your own reality". Too bad i cant whittle down all of it in these comments but yeah. These teachings do converge at some points. For example, that we are one with all that is or that we vibrate at certain frequences. Do delve deeper in to Abraham Hicks' Teaching. 'They' Present some really intersting concepts/truths that are truly worth the time in my opinion.

@@FNT_SD Thanks so much for your response! It is indeed hard to always think positive thoughts so therefore I like Eckhart's teachings also a lot and when in am at total peace there's no thought. But when the situation is really hard to bear it is sometimes helpful to use your mind to make it a little bit more enjoyable and not force yourself into not thinking.

"The first layer: the body There are many possibilities within you, layer upon layer. The first layer is of the body. If you get identified with the body, you are getting identified with the temporal, the momentary. Then there is bound to be fear of death. The body is a flux, like a river - continuously changing, moving. It has nothing of the eternal in it. Each moment the body is changing. In fact, the body is dying every moment. It is not that after seventy years suddenly one day you die. The body dies every day. Death continues for seventy years; it is a process. Death is not an event; it is a long process. By and by, by and by, the body comes to a point where it cannot hold itself. It disintegrates. If you are identified with the body, of course the fear will be constantly there that death is approaching. You can live, but you can live only in fear. And what type of life is possible when one’s foundations are constantly shaking and one is sitting on a volcano and death is possible any moment? The second layer: the mind Then there is a second layer within you: that of the mind - which is even more temporal and more fleeting than the body. Mind is also continuously disintegrating. Mind is the inner part of the body and the body is the outer part of the mind. These are not two things. Mind and body is not a right expression. The right expression is mind-body. You are psychosomatic. Not that the body exists and the mind exists. The body is the gross mind, and the mind is the subtle body… aspects of the same coin - one outer, the second inner. …Real life is beyond both body and mind. You are in the body, you are in the mind, but you are neither. The body is your outer shell, the mind is your inner shell, but you are beyond both. This insight is the beginning of real life. How to start this insight? That’s what meditation is all about. Moving beyond sickness and health…. Start witnessing. Sometimes the body is healthy; sometimes the body is ill. Watch, just watch, and suddenly you will have a sense of a totally different quality of being. You are not the body. The body is ill, of course, but you are not ill. The body is healthy, but it has nothing to do with you. You are a witness, a watcher on the hills… far beyond. Of course, tethered to the body, but not identified with the body; rooted in the body, but always beyond and transcending. The first meditation is to separate yourself from the body. And by and by, when you become more acute in your observation of the body, start observing the thoughts that continuously go on within your mind. But first watch the body; because it is gross it can be observed more easily and will not need much awareness. Once you become attuned, then start watching the mind. Whatsoever can be watched becomes separate from you. Whatsoever you can witness, you are not it. You are the witnessing consciousness. The witnessed is the object; you are the subjectivity. The body, and the mind also, remain far away when you become a witness. Suddenly you are there - with no body and no mind… a pure consciousness, just simple sheer purity, innocence, a mirror. In this innocence, for the first time you know who you are. In this purity, for the first time existence becomes life. For the first time you are. Before it, you were simply asleep, dreaming; now you are. And when you are, then there is no death. Then you know that you will be witnessing your death also. One who has become capable of witnessing life has become capable of witnessing death…because death is not the end of life; it is the very culmination of it. It is the very pinnacle of it. Life comes to its peak in death."

i suffer from a weird form of form-identity: but then, so, obviously do many, many other people and some are not so obvious at-first-glance.. not only do we feel special in many instances, but we might sound that way too, but it's all very subjective and transit'ry, isn't it... but when it's-all-done, then perhaps we can have a good laugh, or maybe even better than that, yeah? no, it may not be very laughable yet, but even this is a very good sign, it means we're now gettin' somewhere, or somethin' like that, yeah? we've certainly got time, even now

Ha! The ego is amusing when it is witnessed. The concepts and ideas it thinks up can be quite astonishing. To have moments when we witness this happening within ourselves is hilarious! The ego may try to get in the back door when this happens and say "You are mad Citrus Simon" in a tone of voice that is attempting to sound real and authentic, which can cause infectious laughter in esoteric circles of people doing inner work! Good to see you again tinfoilhatter on Ecky's channel!

People who have an ego that has reached 100% lose their humanity. They become controlled by unclean spirits.

Poor audio. I just couldn't listen to this even though I really really want to port audio is a game changer

Fantastic video. At the form level I am transgender, but behind that I am formless and have no ultimate gender, all physical life is experience not identity. ✨💚✨

[@obscurum6]

Why be transgender at all then?

[@Shalanaya]

@@obscurum6 Because it is the way someone is biologically and genetically and no mind or belief changes that. Just like someone is man or woman, or human for that matter.

[@obscurum6]

The sound on this video is terrible.
