No "need" for Religion. Look at an infant, how ignorant, happy&in the moment he/she is. No mind structures, and no worries! We were all those infants once....xx

'Now' is the time to rise above Religion into Oneness. Thank you sir. Lots of love and light

I don’t need religion..but I Love having Jesus. I Am Safe and Free and Love and Peace..I am Blessed 😇

I don't know why it took me so long to meet wonderful teachers like this, christianity messed me up big time.blessing🙏🙏🙏

[@freespirit9806]

Once I became aware of myself being consciousness / true self I look at the Christian religion from a different angle. Jesus was a true self. His teachings of the kingdom are about being consciousness , but I can also see what’s false . For example we’re not born sinners. We are soul , the ego is the sinner , Jesus didn’t die to take away our sins. The ego has to die for us to be free

Among the things that are truly needed - food, clothing, shelter, etc. - religion is not one of them. 😉

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

Great explanation. Religion can be a great spiritual guiding force if it's untainted by egoic striving for power and control

[@TerriblePerfection]

I feel religious in nature, just breathing and walking and observing. 🍂 ❄️ 🌞 🌻

[@SuperAngelic5]

People do not grow spiritually or emotionally without assistance or guidance from others who have been working at it longer. People do not grow in isolation. Religion is not the problem, it is people who isolate themselves and who refuse to listen to wise counsel. They refuse correction, and they believe that they are better than anyone else. The great masters did not get that way by following their subjective feelings and by avoiding others.

I have felt so doomed lately and tonight I decided I was going to try focusing on the now only. OMG. A world of difference in my mood. I have much experience with meditation but I stopped for awhile and doing it again I can actually say I'm happy. Despite the circumstances. Echart you made my Xmas not depressed. By your presence teachings

Some people definitely need religion. I love how he described the Middle ground between spirituality and religion. Truly enlightened people understand that many people need religion in the right form as he described. I think many people tell themselves they're too enlightened for religion out of ego

[@mariogee8840]

I deeply agree with you, some people need to be a part of the religious community other people don't, this depends on the state of your mind or level of your consciousness.

من با ۱۳ سال مطالعه و تحقیق اسلام را ترک کردم.هیچ دینی برای خوشبختی و سعادت نیاز ندارم خداوند من عشق است که در قلب و تمام وجود من حضور دارد و زندگی من را پر از شادی و انسانیت کرده است!🙏👍

Religious texts are very cryptic and complicated. Too complicated for me to understand alot of it. Like reading old Shakespeare texts. I need a teacher to translate. But I love Jesus, he's the perfect role model, be nice and kind to everyone. His parables are wonderful. But I'm too simple for complicated religions.

[@dantrey3714]

life is my religion..cheers! and all the very best to all.

[@josephbehrmann4159]

Tom Paine, who came from my town of Lewes, said "Kindness is my religion." Eckhart reflects that in this simple and enlightened talk. Everyone needs to hear this.

[@Omnipresence101]

Thanks Eckheart for this. I went off religion many yrs ago and now it's all different, it's like seeing with new eyes, I love Scripture Thanks to Joel S Goldsmith, Herb Fitch, You, Richard Rohr many others. I'v been attending Lauds and Vespers lately, there's a 30 min silence in the morning, I'm drawn there and the prayers are revealing deeper meanings and see also the Friars being the prayer, their ways and how they are with others ❤

我一直担心我的孩子们将来遇到基督教信仰！因为我担心他们被误导！现在我不怕了！有您的书交给他们阅读！我相信他们会有客观理解力！非常感谢您老师！在我看来您就像释迦摩尼转世用白话文方式为众生普度

When it comes to religion, be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, law of attraction or any other of the worlds 100s of religions, I think of the Eckhart video where he reads from the Toa and when he quotes two different Zen masters. " Do not seek for the truth, merely cease to cherish opinions and cling to ideas".Eckhart reads, and he then explains the Zen masters are not saying don't have opinions and ideas, only not to " Cherish our opinions or cling to our ideas, as if they were the truth. Wonderful wisdom and if only we could all adopt this philosophy, how much more peaceful and enjoyable would this experience be for everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏
