I live on a hill on the outskirts of a small town. Through the kitchen window, I watch the beautiful sunset and the constantly changing clouds. And I always feel joy and peace inside me, and it's simple and free.

[@alexandruvasiliev4615]

Super

[@I_AM_the_ITGuy]

Lovely. I crave quiet. There is almost constant airplanes, cars, buses and helicopter noise outside my windows.

[@Soul-yx9if]

Can I come and live with you? 🙂

[@acgschouwenaars]

I think the challenge is to feel joy and peace in the nois of the town, everywhere stones, house, a big appartement behind my little garden that keeps my sight on clouds and a sunset away. To feel inside the peace dispite the surroundings where you live is important. Greetings from the very crowded Netherlands.

“Throughout the ages, in darkness and in light, to move forward, they all had to work toward an ideal vision, with the conviction that perfection is within reach, possible. The man who must deliver has learned not to become a victim of that ideal vision. He understands one can never touch the North Star, one can only let it be the guide, in darkness and in light.” (From Stoic Mosquito by A. A. Socrates)

Thanks to the Eckhart team for producing and making these videos available. These teachings have helped me greatly and I’m enjoying the ride. Recently I had a dream about Eckhart Tolle, and the next day my brother in law died. It was a shock to get that news. The love and compassion in Eckhart and that of the wisdom he points to, came through in a real way for me. It’s amazing how I’m here now and so is someone like Eckhart. Grateful for many others also! ❤

What I have realized is that I keep identifying with the aspects of presence like peace, joy, stillness etc. Sadly, I can't sustain them for long. I feel completely disappointed and frustrated when I realize I've lost it.

Gracias Maestro! Le doy gracias a usted y a Dios porque he convertido en práctica no sólo observar el cuerpo interno sino también el "cuerpo dolor" cuando me encuentro mal. Es como observar el espacio entre dos pensamientos: compruebo como el cuerpo dolor no es tan denso como parece, tiene brechas, y pierde fuerza con esta observación. Es maravilloso!!

9:15 There is more to you than meets the I. You are deeper than what you think about yourself. The universe gives you form to experience itself as a person. Life's purpose is to align with evolving consciousness. Bring consciousness into your doing in the present. Thanks Eckhart. 1 December 2023.⛳🦆😇🎁🌹🏘

[@paulosei2790]

I keep losing the present moment. This takes me back and forth to my former ways of thinking. I feel deeply dissatisfied when the ego resumes its activity. I am confused right now.

[@johngreen4683]

I don't believe anyone lives in the present moment 24/7 if they did they wouldn't be able to function on a daily basis. I personally think accepting the mind will have its say and the mind will produce thoughts and feelings about past and future whether we like it or not is a healthy, attainable and maintainable mind set. Freedom from ever receiving the minds thoughts opinions, beliefs, fears and worries is impossible but freedom from taking them seriously and reacting to them is very achievable. There is nothing wrong with us and there is absolutely nothing wrong with our minds, it's only our relationship with our minds that gets confused sometimes. Presence and being in the present moment is like passing clouds, it comes and it goes 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Meditation is about a shift in consciousness away from doing and thinking. And most accesible to present moment.

[@buddyfisherofmen3821]

Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is Inside Us…. You are in one sense, sharing the same thing just using different words and vocabulary to do so…..Thank you. Sadly, most preachers, teach it backwards, because they teach it from the outside/ In, when it is Inside/Out….Blessings Sir!

[@mokuho]

What does it mean aware? There is a presence in that awareness

[@johngreen4683]

Observing something is to be aware of its existence, observing without thoughts about and judgement of what we are observing is presence and awareness. Our minds almost certainly will have an opinion about everything but we are not our minds so our minds opinions are not our opinions, unless we choose to allow to become so 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Michelle-bv1ko]

Explaining how to "become present/ conscious/aware" or what the state of those conditions feel like, by using examples of how to do so in a real life scenario - notice the sky or other aspects of nature around you - is really helpful. We need more examples because I wonder if reaching those states to achieve peace, has been discouraged by society in recent times, or confined it to something we should only be doing on holiday. Words like "presence" have other meanings too, depending on context & really, you are the only teacher who has used these words in the spiritual context eg "Consciousness to a doctor means one thing & I thus attribute the same meaning to it as a doctor would. I certainly never learnt about consciousness or awareness from the nuns or priests I was forced to endure at junior school until my family realised how bad they were at what they did. But your meanings for these words seem to be somewhat different. So it's really difficult for me, knowing all the different ways these words are used, to understand what you, Eckhart, mean by these words that keep arising in your posts & videos - "aware", "awareness", "conscious", "consciousness", "present", "Presence". I'm sure it would be difficult for a lot of people to understand, because so many now fill (distract really) spare moments with tech devices, ratger tgan simply sitting quietly admiring a view from tgeir office window, if they're lucky enough to have one. Also that this act of simply "being" & appreciating beauty, is the first step to "forgetting all your troubles" - inner peace - because it makes space for solutions to come through, is quite hard to accept. W3 often need solutions instantaneously, so we "do something", anything until we can't anymore. The consequence is often enforced stillness, which is often when the penny drops for many.

So how does that solve personal or collective problems? Thats what humanity wants to know.. is that going to put food on the table.. if so, how?

[@johngreen4683]

It doesn't solve the physical problems but it prevents the internal noise and story about the physical problems, which in turn can very often allow us to realise solutions to the physical problems. Thinking doesn't produce solutions, not thinking allows solutions to come to us, it's nothing mystical it's simply us allowing everything to be OK 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@MariaGarcia-uo7if how does it help you personally to write this, your ego might feel better for having written it, but the other people you mentions situations haven't been improved by you satisfying egos feelings , you've merely maintained your egos dominance over you. We would all end all the suffering if we could but unfortunately we accept we cannot do that at this moment in time and have the wisdom to know that our feeding our egotistical minds will not improve the lives of those poor others or ourselves. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@MariaGarcia-uo7if hi, and do you truly feel your writing a comment on here telling other people how their meditating doesn't help others actually does help others around the world who are suffering? Do you truly think that the millions of poor people who are suffering from terrible atrocities will be feeling better because of your writing this? Sorry Maria but the only persons life and happiness you are actually affecting is your own, and not in a good way. I care every bit as much as you care but I do not punish myself and others for things they are not to blame for.
