Do You Know What You Want from Life? | Eckhart Tolle

[@questfortruth8181]

Whenever I have a nagging doubt or question, I listen to a video of Eckhart - any video, the topic does not matter. Just listening to him brings in the Presence and dissolves the doubt/question. Thanks a lot Eckhart for being the guide in my life 🙏🙏🙏

He embodies presence so naturally, that it is so calming when he speaks his truth.

[@helpontheway]

Yep yep. He does not say a word he does not mean. That is, he does not rush or seek to find a solution for the student asking for help. He pulls the solution from deep within. Not within him, but within you, me, the dog, the earth,… and so on❤

[@veraintuizione6497]

So TRUE 🙏

[@Sophiamann1111]

It’s I often say, you think that and I think this and it’s ok. But often the other person won’t leave it. They keep trying to convince me there right. Then it’s hard.

[@sugarhieroglyph]

What do you mean by "his" truth? Isn't the truth just the truth? Like if i say the earth revolves around the sun, is that my truth? Is it just plain old truth? I'm so confused by the way language has been changed lately. Please explain?

[@veronicarios4620]

@@sugarhieroglyph we all have a different lens of perspective in the way we think and see things and everyone may not resonate with the same ideas. So that is why I say, "his truth" because he describes a perspective that not everyone may agree with. We aren't meant to be the same or have the same beliefs and that is okay.

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.

[@Omnipresence101]

I never imagined that I would end up living alone. As a child was surrounded always by other children, as an adult and young mother of 4, they were always around me. Now alot of the time it's just me, had alot of tears, friends dying, adult children moving on. But what's helped alot recently is going into the church just sitting there being quite, even though the church is empty most of the time, I never feel lonly there and have become more peaceful and the crying is stopped when I return home to an empty house. It's ok to be human, my weakness is my becoming my greatest strenght. Thanks for this Eckhart and everyone be gentle with yourselves ❤ sometimes I feel like the heart can't take any more goodbyes, but that's just a thought that is not happening here and now.

[@chrisberry9017]

I too live alone, but have discovered an inner peace. Eckhart Tolle has taught me so much! Sometimes the deepest loneliness is found in the presence of others.

[@johnbowen4442]

That is part of the spiritual awakening to be able to have the time to work on ourselfs , study our pysvhology with no distractions as demonstrated by many spiritual teachers through out time. I know it seems hard for me too to be to be alone , but we are never ever really alone just keep studying the teachings and it does get much better , take care.

[@biancaborges7727]

I have been following the teachings of Eckhart Tolle since 2013 after going through a shocking and painful divorce at 27 years-old, which shook "my world" and reality as I knew it. All of a sudden, I was alone in the US, without family and friends - I had very little emotional support and had to learn how to rebuild "my life" on my own. The loneliness and disorientation I felt were intense, Eckhart Tolle's teachings was all I had, so I leaned into it heavily, listening to it every day in my solitude and finding comfort in his voice and in the truth I sensed in his teachings. 9 years later, after a difficult journey of uncovering a lot of unconsciousness (the divorce was just the beginning) my life has transformed - I remarried a wonderful man who is kind, loving, patient and we practice spirituality and work on our unconsciousness together, I have started my dream and vision of becoming a spiritual wellbeing coach with a focus on Eckhart's teachings, and my dream of moving to Portugal is finally coming true. I don't want to focus on the "outer layer" only and don't want to give the impression that life is now perfect, we all know this is not the nature of reality. There is still unconsciousness, but more often than not I am aware of it shortly after, so I'm able to let go and not create suffering. I continue to practice presence since I know anything I experience in the world of form is temporary and will eventually dissolve - I want to be cautious not to develop strong attachments to the world of form after manifesting the life that I always wanted. I felt the truth in my bones in everything that Eckhart teaches, but to have put it to the test (how he says it himself), and to now experience and see the truth for myself has been transformational - it has deepened my presence and trust in it, and it is incredibly liberating to feel connected to source throughout normal daily life. Thank you, Eckhart.. I am infinitely and forever grateful for your teachings

Yes he brings up some valid points and alludes to Childhood trauma. Excellent insight to this topic is the book the body keeps the score. Research shows that trauma is locked into the nervous system and should be regarded as an injury and not something that we think about, just floating around in our mind because it's nothing like that

[@lorriheffner2747]

Instead of saying, don’t feed it, you could also say, don’t honor it. I love the analogy of the cloud, because it actually is like a cloud when these negative things come over your mind, it’s like they just kind of meander into a mental void and send a chill or darken the light that surrounds you.

Agreed, perhaps implied or subtlety there? Im reflecting

To get what we want in life, in whatever form, we just have to stop identifying with the thoughts (clouds) and shift to know ourselves as the sky. This state of being opens the door to peace, joy, love...what we all want in life :)

In short, if your ability to consciously recognise negative thought patterns, such as anxiety about what not to do in life, improves, then these negative thought patterns diminish. His answer might not solve the question, but it steers us away from negativity.

Lieber Eckhart! Ich bin so froh, dass ich auf Dich gestoßen bin! Das Buch „Jetzt!“ lese ich immer und immer wieder, einige Stellen doppelt und zehnfach…, jedesmal berührt es mich wieder und lehrt mich etwas Neues. Ich habe eine Frage und hoffe, dass Du die Zeit hast, mir einen „Hint“ zu geben 🙏！ Meine Gedanken kreisen immer wieder um einen bestimmten, mir sehr lieben und wertvollen Mensch. Ich würde gerne mit ihm gehen, aber er hat sich gegen Covid spritzen lassen, und nun habe ich Angst vor „shedding“. Ich bin hin-und hergerissen. Ich kann diese Angst nicht einordnen. Ist es mein Bauchgefühl oder mein Ego-Verstand, der mir sagt, dass Gefahr besteht - ich kann es nicht unterscheiden… Vielen, ganz herzlichen Dank❣️
