Eckhart Tolle on How Awareness Affects Interpersonal Relationships

Eckhart Tolle delves into the influence of presence on others' behavior, noting that people tend to be nicer in the presence of someone who is aware. He explains that the absence of judgment and the sense of acceptance created by an aware individual make others feel more at ease and comfortable. Eckhart Tolle highlights how this presence reduces the defensiveness of others' egos, leading to diminished ego-driven behaviors and more open, pleasant interactions.

I understand where you're coming from and I hope you get through it.

[@clarkkent3730]

you would not truly recognize that this is the case unless you have been truly awakened spiritually...its part of the process of spiritual purging; i used to NEVER have really dark thoughts until AFTER my spiritual awakening; then through the purging of ego i felt some of the most disgusting thoughts and feelings rise to the surface and then they disappear...hope you are on the path!

Thanks Eckhart, in listening to the sharing here, the word expectation comes to mind, that it wasn’t so much the reactions, behaviors of others but more so my expectations. I expected others to know, respond, act as I would in any given situation, and felt confounded and baffled when that wasn’t so. See now that it was not people that let me down but my expectations as they weren’t realistic given that we all are where we are as we are in different states and stages at different times maybe and I cannot judge that but can adjust my expectations and see how realistic they truly are. Peace of mind now is everything. Thanks for this🙏🏻 The less expectations I have, the fewer resentments I carry

Maybe there exist in the brain force that trains itself how reactive you can be, like getting too excited for no reason or you withdraw and shut down flow of communication or you open up more and communicate better by avoiding errors, so be like aware responsible and confident.

HOW true! 🙏✨ When you put down the very heavy shield of the Ego you invite others to do the same as if you had a magic wand.🙏 Like a fire that suddenly dies. After all, it is a burden that no one loves, even the most inhuman being feels the burden of his own unconsciousness, the terribile burden of a bitter restlessness. Yet, I too am convinced that everyone, absolutely everyone, will encounter the Light because the Light is already here and it IS here for everyone.❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨✨✨✨🌺

[@evelynhughes3116]

I know his true self isn’t the one talking, but when I bring out his true self, he gets really scared I think. Because I do too. Like his true self is protecting himself by talking a lot. It’s insecurity and fear.

So many bot comments being initiated by unconscious humans who seek confrontation rather than conversation. If only those who use the bots to spread negativity and misery would allow themselves listen to what Eckhart is saying maybe they'd surrender their bots and choose peace and happiness instead 🙏🙏🙏🙏

How long before bots make reading the comments and views of all others as worthless? Such a shame that a tiny minority of unconscious egos have the power to spoil so much for so many without needing to leave their own home to do so. Technology allows the unconscious ego disproportionate power 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@chiptowers1]

Let me break this down as I see it, logically. But how do you know that when you become more aware to the the point of non reactive, how do you know if your state of awareness is correct as opposed to the one you are being non reactive too. Equally everyone has become more aware to the point of non reactive, so now their state of awareness is correct according to them. Oh how awareness has affected interpersonal relationships created by so called teachers and Guru's. And this teacher thinks people have a problem with interpersonal relationships when he is not the one who ventures where normal people venture. I mean can you imagine a teacher or a Guru going to a bar and talking to an alcohol affected by choice person who has just altered his awareness by choice by alcohol for a time period by choice. Who would be the non reactive person then. It would be exactly like a non reactive situation where that alcohol affected person is unconscious by sleeping and then awake the next day and become aware and non reactive to a teachers mind set. A teachers congregation and a bar congregation is still a congregation of choice, it's just one congregation does not have an agenda. I mean who really cares about interpersonal relationships unless one wants something from somebody. If your EGO send and receive message tool is not operating, then you have not been enlighten by and with your presence within. Cheers, bottoms up. chuckle chuckle, like I said something important.
