The Grip of Ego & Living More Consciously

[@jonrussell7590]

I’m so grateful to be living in a time where I can receive messages from such great teachers such as Eckhart Tolle . Just watching his videos I feel more present and calm 🧘‍♂️

[@lauralunaazul]

Me too, and safe knowing him and Thich Nhan Hanh are around 😊🙏❤

Is like living in Buda s time or Jesús and they are on internet :) same happen to me with Thich Nhan Hanh and Mooji.

[@sheilarogers2771]

I think the universe knew that he was really needed on Earth...i pray that all light beings keep going as Eckhart did...please...you are needed. His story from the beginning is inspiring. I know that light always envelops darkness and can transmute it to neutral, I've transcended space and time (3 times...LOL)...and read the power of now when it came out...it changes my life...of course for the better. I think he's from higher dimensions...came here...to help us all heal in HUGE numbers. I have so much gratitude in my heart.

Love this! It is why God allows it to happen. I give up alcoholism due to a tragedy in my life which shook my core. Otherwise it probably would never have happened. I drank bacause I felt despair on a daily basis & I couldn't explain it or why. I still feel despair, but I fix my eyes on prayer instead. God give me the strength to not go back to alcohol. Its not from my own power or strength. Its now a combination of gratefulness for life & mercy & strength from God. Jesus is my Life & it is only in him I trust & love.

Erika, very true indeed. However like Eckhart put it, when everything is so comfortable we tend to forgot all that. Our ego is asking for more. But when we hit the upper limit where more couldn't be attend anymore we suffered which is good for our awakening.

Just came right in "Time"....😂😂 Thank you Eckhart! Still get exhaustet when challenges comes. I was stucked in Depression and Addiction for 30 Years. Since I felt that I am more and had a glimpse of my true essence, my life changed a lot. But still struggling with Addiction. How fast I forget that this Lostness and all those lost battles against my Addiction finally guided me my way home!! Stay focused on the now and trust the universe. Just be! That's that only thing I have to do. The only thing I CAN do! And everytime I succeed: No Craving. No Consuming of Substances.

[@daverobert6201]

I definitely got pushed into awakening and am extremely grateful for it. There was no way my ego mind could survive certain events that occurred. It was either death of ego or death of physical body for me.

[@sheilarogers2771]

Your statement and succinctness is something i admire...gee...i wonder why? I am a detail person because of childhood trauma..no one would believe me...i added more detail to everything so others would believe me....I am still ill...but am trying to change my thoughts to wellness and hope. I almost died at age 13 from a 3 week very high fever (measles)....104 at times....parents never took me to children's hospital 2 miles away...oddly...couldn't tell me why when i confronted them. So any extra time has been icing on the cake. It was peaceful at the end...so nothing to fear...but the weakness in my body was such that i pondered"...Am i dying"...not expecting anything...next ? evening.(it was very soon after)..Jesus saved me...a male voice in upper left corner of room said..."You r dying"."I'm not ready to take you" "You have more good to do"....The fever broke and i'm here today...41 years later...Anyway, I had experiences with color vibrations in 2006 then and still do...wanted to heal people with color...I got more intuitive without caffeine or fluoride water....haven't watched tv or radio b/c of 440Hz....only solfeggio notes for me. 2018's awakening...lasted about 3 months.and that one is very similar to the one the guy here describes...and having another one now....but fear is getting in. I feel more enlightened as many more pieces fit. Meditation prepared me much better for the latter 2 awakenings. A gentle Qigong is helping me experience the energy flow a little better and am hoping to completely heal....it terms of some serious energy blockages. Millions of people are awakening...the April 4/5 collective meditation site crashed...my friend told me who doesn't meditate. Am intuitive...stopped going forward in time in 2006/7....after telling my "family" twice that i'm getting a feeling of doom and it's from the u.s...it's going to be worse than the great depression of the 1930's....then 2008 happened...I thought it was done...but nope...this is it...nothing was done to stop the greed and bizarre things were going on with those economic buy-outs..political stuff beyond me. Seeing an unbelievable amount of signs just before covid...from spirit...1111...444...555....(I'm going from the 4th to 5th)....when fear creeps in.... i got disabled from Cipro poisoning...anyway...1234 shows up when i need a reminder to take one step at a time or everything is going as planned by the diviine. The back yard has snow...so i wrote more than the usual peace and love messages....ots of birds preparing for Spring...and getting messages from them to keep it light...i am kinda serious at times. The meditation to join together in a step by step mediation to end suffering and heal the planet from illness..was incredibly powerful..I had no clue about it...found it less than 24 h before it began...wasn't looking for it...i've only gone outside 4 times since it all went down...people hoarded...so ruined my plans for 4 months of basic supplies as i have a kitty who jumps on the counters...as he should. I could of helped more people and had less stress myself if others hadn't hoarded. We R all ONE!!! Lets all stay connected 'cuz we are going to be better than ever. Reincarnation is real....i'm coming back as a Raven....if you ever need encouragement I can provide a lady in britain's..? Falconry ?...really enjoyed what she's doing...then there's Raymond the Raven...super sweet bond they have...I'm having vivid dreams (always do) pink and gold color of the multiverse....and peace and love are coming big time...the light in the multiverse is listening to our prayers and visuals. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!

@@ROAGECOM who is Roage

[@davidriemer810]

Here's a short summary: Challenges can be the root of our awakening. We are here because of our difficulties & challenges. When the surface reality is nice, there is no motivation to look more deeply. When people face challenges, they create unnecessary suffering in their mind. We feel something is wrong with us, when we are being challenged. When we become more conscious, there still will be challenges - but a lot of suffering falls away. Life improves. We no longer complain and we don’t create more chaos. When we live consciously, we don’t convert challenges into unhappiness in our mind. They don’t contribute to our "unhappy person identity", don’t strengthen the ego. Ultimately, all is a manifestation of consciousness. We don’t have a life, we are life! And our history is not our life.

Right Eckhart. The feeling of happiness comes from inside through gratitude no matter what one faces as challenges or considered obstacles or problems.

All problem are challenges and opportunities for inner growth, experience... and a deeper appreciation of life itself!

My own experience is that during the recovering aftermath of an intense period of suffering, there’s an opportunity to reach deeper into yourself and begin the journey towards awakening. In the current circumstances (Covid-19) when activities and movement for many of us slow down, there’s also time for reflecting over our ways of going through life and to connect with the depth within us. Eckhart Tolle is one of the most formidable spiritual teachers of our time.

Hi spirited folks. I just wanna wish you all a spirited hello from new Zealand. And to those in your journeys of awakening love and peace. Please have compassion to those who are less awake or more stuck in the ego. It really helps shining the light of consciousness onto your neighbour with a quiet compassionate stillness. I'm still experiencing and witnessing confusion over these topics of what eckhart teaches. And have done so for years. I only found eckhart in the last decade and I've always been a Christian but not the church kind. Its this kind of Christian that was still, at peace and compassionate to everyone and life itself. Labels are labels but I'm sure some of you know what I mean.

7:09 Ego is about comparisons, and as they say, "comparison is the thief of joy." So it's more apt to say, "ego is the destroyer of happiness." Ego embraces misery or joy, because it would rather feel something than nothing, _because it IS nothing._ It's like a shadow, a thought without presence. It needs our attention, our identification with thoughts and feelings, to have substance. It reminds me of this joke I recently read with a stick figure depicted and to the side of it was written: This is Ralph Ralph is a concept, created by you while reading this When you stop, Ralph ceases to exist Your attention is the thin barrier between Ralph and the void "I'm scared," says Ralph 😆

[@Wolf-Spirit_Alpha-Sigma]

+1 to your comment, but I'd like to add that the Ego is really just a mid-level of consciousnesses and as such is a bridge between our bodies and our free will. As you have written, it mainly exists as a shadow or you could say, in relation to other objects of reality. And yes, because of its nature it can suck out all of the joy from a person. This is precisely why you need a higher form of self. Otherwise the ego inevitably devolves into the false-self. When it does that we loose our ability to follow the highest principle and instead we become multiple imaginary persons, fragments of our one, true self. That's how I see it. However, when the ego is healthy it works as intended, which is our way to get engaged in certain aspects of reality. We shouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water by trying to get rid of ego. Instead, we should use the higher self to repair and reform our egos. I don't know if Eckhart says about this in other videos of his; it's just something that I managed to realize for myself. I hope I'm at least in the ballpark of getting better. 😅😣

Orion Xavier "... so it's *_more_* apt to say..." Yes, you're right, "ego *_is_* about comparisons!"

[@Hallands.]

Canis Lupus Is your dog happy?

[@Hallands.]

Orion Xavier Well, Ralph isn't created by me. Ralph is created by the artist and depicts the artist's ego. As long as the artist identifies with Ralph, he remains scared. Should he awaken, he'll realize that Ralph needs fear to get some meat on his sticks. And Ralph doesn't cease to excist, either! The image of Ralph didn't even cease to exist when you stopped watching the drawing. On the contrary, Ralph evidently stuck in your mind! Now, looking at the mental image of Ralph, how many fallacies can you count in the narrative which accompanied the drawing? Off the cuff, I count 3...

I'm so grateful that Eckharts teachings came into my life. This was EXACTLY WHEN I needed them. Like he says things are a matter of perspective. Things aren't good or bad only if we think it so. Unhappiness is s burden and learning to transcend an unhappy narrative, because that's all it is, is a blessed freedom. We are put own jailers. Why didn't this happen why DID THAT happen.. Why does it matter? We are where we are and we're amazing spitual eternal beings. Our past is just like a movie we play in our heads that our senses have programed our bodies to respond to. We "don't have a life, we ARE life". So you don't have conciousness, your ARE conciousness. I'm so blessed to be able to come to these videos when I get pulled back into "life "mainly now for canle. Ram Dass used to say" if u think your enlightened visit family for a week "I'm visiting family now
