About Eckhart:
Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into more than 50 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review (now Watkins Mind Body Spirit) named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution.

[@bruno.alves7567]

I have been following Eckhart Tolle for a long time, but only recently have his teachings stimulated profound changes within me. I confess that I was afraid of these changes, however they are freeing me from all the useless suffering created by my mind. Freedom from yourself is priceless and life is much more enjoyable when I don't feel the need to please my ego all the time. 🙏🏻

[@andreasrylander]

I can agree! I also feared the changes, but I realise the changes are just heavy chains that are finally sliding off me. All is truly one.

[@pronobiska]

So true. For a long time I felt scared of changing, the void beyond my thinking felt unbearable. I have progressed but it still feels scary. It's so much more familiar and safe in a weird way to continue having the same reactions. But now I am very aware of them. I hope next step will be letting go of them despite the fear of jumping into the void.

[@instanta2693]

I actually first thought it was my comment and saw your username! I have the exact same thing. Today I got an email from a neighbor about the level of my music and I handled it in such a way that the last email from her was hearts, thank you’s and wishing me more enjoyment of my music and appreciating my understanding re their crying baby. It’s these shifts in how I interact with people and even manage to have positive outcomes from initial complaints. I’m listening to Eckhart daily for many weeks now with most impact though became familiar with him 2 decades ago.

Nothing before it's time

[@evadefrumerie3676]

😊

[@vgcreeper]

I find it interesting how he says ‘because my income was low’ rather than ‘becuase I was broke/poor/had no money’. He doesn’t use those negative or judgemental words, just objectively describes the situation and therefore difuses the negativity that comes with it. Profound

[@lindafrazier8092]

❤it something to practice!

[@compactc9]

Makes sense. I just quit being bothered by seeing myself as broke and poor once I realized that this was, should I choose it to be, a temporary condition.

To the person reading this message, The Universe is saying to you today: "I am going to opennew doors for you. Miracles will happen in your life. Healing and restoration are being released. Your greatest days of productivity and prosperity are on the horizon. Keep moving forward." I love you❤️

I’ve tried to read The Power of Now for many years but never succeeded because I didn’t understand the concept and the concept even felt overwhelming and “boring”. But now after many years of being truly fed up with my own mind I read it fully, twice, and it is changing me. I make it a habit to read a little bit every day until his teachings truly stick with me. It’s an intense ride that will wake you up and shake you around like nothing else, while at the same time bringing you peace and freedom like nothing else. I truly believe that his teachings will resonate only with the people who are ready and as he says himself, you have to be truly fed up with your own mind and pain. Keep staying aware of your ego, because trust me your ego will creep up and try to convince you that the old familiar way is the best way and “oh it’s not so bad to live the way I’ve always lived”. This is your ego convincing you because it’s scared to die and will do anything to win you over. If you stay aware and when those feelings come up that makes you want to identify with your mind and your ego and appearance etc. remember all his teachings. Breathe, let go of the mind, become aware of the now, feel your body. Before you know it, you’ll be reminded of why you stay on this path. 🩷

[@DanielSanchez-gf9xn]

Trust JESUS. I've tried many things the law of attraction was one but when I accepted JESUS AS MY SAVIOR everything changed including the deliverance from drug addiction

[@DanielSanchez-gf9xn]

HIS LOVE overwhelmed me and found purpose and meaning IN HIM.

[@DavidVelez1111]

Wonderfully said! Sending you positive energy 🙏🏻 I resonate deeply with this. I started the Power of Now in 2019 and felt the profoundness of it and would read it occasionally and then came back to it in 2020 about 8-9 months after. It all made sense and hit me very profoundly. Me life has changed so much since reading it it feels like a dream thinking of my past “self”. The discarding process of the ego was difficult at first but every day and second the momentum became stronger and stronger to the point it felt natural and light. Keep going! You’re on a beautiful path and you have vibrant momentum 💛

[@BrockLanders]

Absolutely true. Until your level of consciousness has reached a certain point, it’s almost as if it’s just words on a page. Sounds like you are on your way. Enjoy the journey.

[@indielover85]

Notice how he speaks with patience, there’s nothing rushed about his speech it is easygoing and relaxed, reflecting staying in the present moment

[@raoulkoster8567]

Cool story💫: Yesterday I had a bit of an unpleasant experience where someone did a rude act and crossed my boundaries in a group. At that moment, I didn't feel enough space within myself to react and address the person. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with that, but the context made it a bit more difficult because I didn't want to create a scene or drama with just one person in a group. Then someone in the group said, "You're tired, huh? You've become quieter.." I also dropped my wallet with cards in it. I became a bit clumsier. Then I caught myself in a negative thought spiral about myself. After becoming aware of that, I could be more present again, but it still bothered me when I left. On the way in the car, I checked within myself what I could have done better. My intuition told me that it was good that I didn't react immediately and that the situation might be a gift in disguise. Still, it lingered in my energy field somewhere. I woke up early in the morning and decided to pray to God about what I should do about it. Shortly after, I fell asleep, and then I dreamt the following: I dreamt that I was in a small building where Eckhart Tolle would give a speech. The church was already full of visitors, and I was there by myself. Just as Eckhart entered, he walked past me, stopped, and looked at me with a gentle but penetrating gaze. He asked me how I was. I answered, "It's okay." Then he was silent for a moment, looked at me even more intensely with his bright blue eyes and enormous presence, and said, "Don't feel submissive." I am an adult man, but I started crying like a little child. In my dream, I still remembered the situation from the previous evening (which had really happened). I immediately knew that in some moments, I still put myself in a position where I don't fully stand in my true power. Eckhart reassured me at that moment and sat down. Then a man in black with long dark black hair came. From his characteristics, you could see that he liked to meddle in other people's affairs. He approached me and spoke to me. Immediately, I felt this ego/pride mode in his way of talking. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it came down to him invading my space and being annoying. Then I said directly in an authoritative manner, "Man, shut the f* up. I don't have the space and time for this now. Sit away from me, okay?" Immediately, he left. (Maybe not entirely loving or zen, but I did assert my boundary immediately. I really had no room for his nonsense.) I said that apparently very loudly because while this happened, Eckhart had just started addressing the audience, and now everything fell silent. The whole room looked at me. Eckhart now looked at me with a strong, present, but also proud gaze and smiled.(not an egoic way, more like that nodding bearded man meme😂) He said out loud to me and the audience that some people are sometimes deeply entangled in patterns, and you must be able to react from presence, but it doesn't necessarily have to be gentle or submissive. Also not hateful or triggered. Just present. When I woke up, I felt the clear message and immediately said, "Okay, got the message.. Thank You!” It was clear that God or the Universe communicated through the symbol of Eckhart Tolle in my dream, indicated that I needed to carry that confidence. In moments of lovelessness, I need to stand for what leads to the most peace from a place of presence. The dream went on for a bit longer, but this was the essence. I hadn't watched anything from Eckhart Tolle in a while, but after waking up from the dream, I looked up the most recent video of Eckhart, and it was this video titled "Confidence and Trusting in Yourself." That felt like a beautiful confirmation of how the universe is always there for us, providing guidance, and that there is wisdom in silence and within ourselves when we ask for it.🌝🌝

[@JessMaccain]

Thank you so much for sharing this story! What's important is not what you say to the annoying man (which is a just form) at that moment, but your experience of that connection with your inner being.

[@thomass715]

​@@JessMaccainI am not sure if in real life (unlike this dream) swearing wouldn't pull you back into a less present state. Also, it would more likely provoke an unpleasant reaction from the other person which again would state a bigger challenge for you remaining your inner presence. However, if you were fully present, then this all doesn't really matter. On the other hand, why then using swear words. Just my thoughts.

[@alexzlatin2738]

Every time I have trouble being in the now in different situations, I see you video and it helps me a lot, thank you very much🙏🙂

[@Ynis]

Yes ! It's crazy how his words (written or said) carry so much power of presence. I feel it every time I read or listen to his words. It's quite amazing...

[@samar3634]

Yes, indeed

[@ChildofGod98765]

Through my struggles I found Jesus he has carried me this far. I keep faith. Even as I continue to struggle to support my children and myself I trust in you Jesus. Being a single mom things can be hard raising them alone. My husband passed years ago. Both of my children are autistic. I started homeschooling them last year and they are now thriving but unfortunately my hours to work are limited. I suffered a heart attack two years ago and Im battling lupus Lord I’m overwhelmed please heal me and give me strength. As I struggle to pay my rent each month and as I struggle to buy groceries. Honestly I want to give up. But I know God will make a way. Where there seems to be no way. I have faith! God has not forgotten me. Faith First! ❤

Such a simple but profound revelation. Thank you so much Eckhart for all. I sometimes have nightmares about the harm people can inflict & awake with fear & dread. I have come to feel more safe keeping a distance. This teaching has helped me understand this. I do sometimes feel the benevolence that comes presence but this is so hard to maintain when you see the ego games & drama that arise often with power and manipulation, need for control. In and on it goes. If ones disengages at this point one is often accused of being "crazy or weird." May presence prevail. With gratitude & kindness for all your teachings and the calm, soothing equanimity that emanates from you as source that equates with truth.

[@matthewscopelite5303]

I noticed that inherently dishonest people don't trust anyone because they think everyone's like they are, whereas genuinely honest people tend to trust everyone and are called gullible for it. Vulnerable too, because they have the faith to trust first at the risk of being hurt first. I find, honesty leads to trust, and trust leads to faith, however in order to have faith, one must resign themselves to being vulnerable first.

[@PersisP]

it's both a projection and a lack of accepting reality of the situation You can be honest and trust your intuition/descernment, no expectations, just clear seeing in how people are right now and how many parts there are to them/they can chose courage instead of fear consistantly

[@Buddhishgirl]

Trust has also to do with your expectations. I started to practice interacting with people each time as if it was the first time, no accumulation, no expectation based on previous experience with them, even with the people closest to me. They call this practice "beginner's mind", which applies to everything. This is so liberating 😊

[@JessMaccain]

@@Buddhishgirl By doing so you are also doing the other person a favour - not trapping them in the same mental prison you would have otherwise created (for both you and that person).

[@Boldlygoatnz]

Thanks Eckhardt. It's so true 😄 people are people.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]
