Without judgement there is nothing to forgive.

[@MarinoBaccarini]

If you suffered harassment, wrongdoings, and physical and mental abuse during your childhood, your youth that continued even in your adulthood by parents, relatives, friends, and strangers, and still today you find yourself struggling to understand how to "free yourself" of that pain and opinions that now you perceive as "wrong" and that have been instilled in you with constant brainwashing..., well, I think this video is what you need. Try listening to it over and over again to understand it not only conceptually but feel it in your heart. Even if you're getting on in years, there's still time, even if you suffer from a terminal illness, there's still time to find that "peace within" you that you are desperately seeking "outside" of you. There is little chance that you will immediately accept my recommendation. It doesn't matter. A seed takes its time to become a tree. We all are victims of victims ...of victims ... 🙏

“We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day, but if we do each thing calmly and carefully, we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.” - Viggo Mortensen You are able to bring more of yourself when you concentrate. As the day progresses, you may realize how quickly you accomplish tasks when you slow down to give them your undivided attention. In the words of Viggo Mortensen, “go slow to go fast.”

[@dejadvu]

I found the less I judged my(self) and had more kindness and compassion for myself, the more compassion I had towards others. I’ve learned that what I thought others have done to hurt me actually stemmed from my own deeper unresolved issues such as feeling incompetent, feeling not good enough. And from that deficiency, I looked to others to tell me who I am by overly complying. Doing things that I didn’t want to do but would do anyways because I thought it was “good or the right thing to do”. Which in turn I would always find myself in a situation of being “taken for granted or advantage of, etc.” I’m learning that I am not deficient. I already Am whole and complete. There is not a single thing anyone can do or say that will add to my inner perfection nor take away my inner perfection. And I cannot truly harm anyone else nor give anyone else peace. God has given each and everyone of us our Perfect Peace within that can not be harmed, ever. We are beyond this form, and We are Perfect. This is what I’m constantly reminding myself. And it makes it easier to choose Love instead of blame.

Thank you, Eckhart. Exactly what I needed. Even my therapist was unable to tell me how to forgive. Ultimately, I don't think forgiveness itself is something you can choose to do. The times when I have forgiven were completely involuntary. However, you can create the conditions for forgiveness to happen, which Eckhart beautifully details here. It is absolutely true that when I meditate my grievances and pain fall away. That part of me which is Eternally Present has never been hurt, and never has held a grievance. Ultimately it is the dissolution of the ego which results in true, lasting forgiveness of self and others.

They are cognizant of their actions of course, but they don't know how deep the effects go creating suffering for others and how it turns out to be harmful for themseves in the end...

It helped me to think of my family members who were abusive as having been infected with rabies.

One day, a man named Truth and a man named Lie stood by a river just outside of town. They were twin brothers. Lie challenged Truth to a race, claiming he could swim across the river faster than Truth. Lie laid out the rules to the challenge, stating that they both must remove all their clothes, and at the count of 3, dive into the freezing cold water, and swim to the other side and back. Lie counted to 3, but when Truth jumped in, Lie did not. As Truth swam across the river, Lie put on Truth’s clothes, and walked back into the town dressed as Truth. He proudly paraded around town pretending to be Truth. Truth made it back to shore, but his clothes were gone and he was left naked with only Lie’s clothes to wear. Refusing to dress himself as Lie, Truth walked back to town naked. People stared and glared as naked Truth walked through town. He tried to explain what happened and that he was in fact Truth, but because he was naked and uncomfortable to look at, people mocked and shunned him; refusing to believe he was really Truth. The people in town chose to believe Lie because he was dressed appropriately and easier to look at. From that day until this, people have come to believe a lie rather than they believe the naked Truth.

[@recordgirly2567]

The ultimate goal is no thought, that's where presents is. Where the observer, your soul is. But just jumping to no thought (especially here in America with consent busy thought streams) is next to impossible for most. So the "work out" is necessary to train the mind ... that the Observer is in charge. Focus on breath, soon thoughts will come, the moment you become "aware" that you're back to thoughts BLAM that awareness is the Observer!! But the mind is powerful with a lifetime of control, and will quickly take back over. But that's ok ... bring it back away from the thoughts to the breath over and over. Picture doing curls, when the weight comes up you're in thoughts, consciously lower the weight and bring it back to the breath, over and over AND over ... It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and took me weeks of "training" before just alittle "shift" of starting to be in control of the mind with longer and longer periods out of thoughts. I'm not going to kid you, it takes a while and oddly, learning to have relaxed focus is difficult, kind of like a tug of war. In a few weeks I started to see progress and after several months I started to have control over my meditations with longer and longer moments in presents. Hopes this helps!

The actual work required comes from those who must learn to forgive themselves that’s where actual change occurs. I would never waste my time forgiving someone who hasn’t done any work talk about redundancy.

[@bettya3027]

I always describe my childhood home as walking through a mine field. One parent had the “short fuse” and the other as I only let myself realize as an adult was an alcoholic. Much later in life I described that parent as crazy and my counselor corrected me that she was a narcissist. It clicked as I remember her telling someone that their wife was pronouncing her name wrong! It took a while to see that the week, inept, shaking in my boots person I was was, was not genetically impaired but the product of much criticism and manipulation, and training that I was “not like other people” making me dependent on her. I got myself out of that situation and it was she that was begging me not to leave. There was a lot of violence. I am at 76 and still trying to heal. Based on my worthlessness I made many bad decisions and it took me years of self treatment to get to the point where I could be well enough to get a job and work. But from the perspective that Eckhart Tolle has just spoken about I can at least forgive them. They are deceased and I don’t often think about that time any more. But the fear of life and being around people or getting close to people has never left me. I have, at least survived and i know to play the role of the victim adds insult to injury and only makes me feel more powerless. Thank you ET. 😉

I have noticed that often giving up something of form leads to association with the formless.

[@cps_Zen_Run]

@shane, Doing requires form. Being is formless. May you be at peace.

[@shanefowler3504]

when we focus on being, we tap into a state of formlessness, where there are no specific limitations or boundaries. In philosophical or spiritual contexts, this idea can be related to the concept of mindfulness or being present in the moment. By cultivating a state of being, one can transcend the constraints of the physical world and connect with a more expansive, formless aspect of existence.

[@rubin-healmysocialanxiety702]

Great video - thanks Eckhart!

[@StingerByte]

It's easier to forgive once you know that free will is more a dream of the ego, than a reality. I also had an angry father with an explosive temper, but I later on understood that he had PTSD from the second world war, he was a refugee and an orphan in his early teenage years, fleeing together with his younger brother and sister. It shaped who he became, and in a lot of ways he actually did really well for himself. Luckily he also calmed down a lot more later on in life. I heard this definition of forgiveness that a depressed person would probably find ambivalent: To remember something without a feeling of resentment. Of course for anyone who is deeply depressed this is meaningless since nothing evokes any kind of feeling anymore, no matter if good or bad ... There has to be a better definition of forgiveness. I like to think of my father as a young child now, before the war, innocent, playing with my Grandfather at the coast of Königsberg. My father has been dead for about 25 years now; I know I've forgiven him, because I also grief for the person he could have been.

[@recordgirly2567]

So instead of trying to hold presents, just focus on one thought (singularity of thought) like many I really like the breath. So relax and just focus on your breathing and in a few seconds your mind will take over, that's ok! Just gently bring it back to your breath, back and forth. Like pumping iron for presents, it's the spiritual work out! (I also like bringing a note pad and "down loading" some thoughts that arise. I'll write down the persistent thoughts; ok I'll do the dishes today and write it down etc.)

[@drmichellefacaros8097]

Angry ego stems from hurt, fear, frustration. Awareness and understanding. I like how he describes operating in the unconscious because when one is operating under the veil of consciousness one is in survival mode. Operating life on the conscience is in the now and that’s when one is thriving in life. Powerful message Mr. Eckhart Tolle! 💚💚💚

[@lorraimclean1735]

I don’t understand. I see or feel what others do to cause harm. I’m not sure that I EVER forgive another observed action because I BELIEVE they will do “it” again. They’re not forgiven to harm another human because they WILL do “it” again-so the water falls in its continuum. True forgiveness for another is my struggle ‼️because I know they will repeat that flaw with glee pride or shame they will just repeat their flaw! . PARTICULARLY if as you say they were not aware of their “flaw”. It is here where one must consider forgiveness if that person TRULY KNOWS right from wrong? Some can blame a mindset that they know right from wrong but don’t care or consider it? That they harmed another human. So I DO REALLY struggle w eg : an undiagnosed narcissist who actively harms ppl daily but most often in a covert way. And there must be an accepted aspect that to observe a “hidden attempt” (covert action) is a conscious act of a wrong being masked as “it’s alright”. EG well I didn’t do x to him/her! Meaning not a more egregious act I only did a lesser form of wrong.! So s/he KNOWS it’s wrong and will harm or get away w it again elsewhere! This is not forgivable!?

Similar to Eckhart's story of his father, mine was also considered to be put last amongst his siblings, added to the fact that he was born with a polio defect in one of his legs. He harbored animosity against his mother for whatever ill-treatments she put him through as a young child. He left home at 17yo. At some point in his older years he did have some awareness, as a child i would be curious as to his library of books which included dream books, Sai Baba, Silver Method, Astrology etc... he and I became estranged and I too left home right out of school. I swore I hated that man. Wished I wasn't related to him. Only on his death bed did he reach out to my husband (then bf) telling to take care of me and only now on my own journey of awareness that I accepted and forgave. My negativity and intense emotions just ceased. Now I sometimes think how much he would have loved my 2 boys. Still working on my own self forgiveness and harboring regret.

[@daodejing81]

Some people have a personality for forgiveness. Some have a natural disposition to be bitter and resentful, always blaming. Forgiveness comes naturally and easily to one who has loved and known oneself. There are those who are blithesome recidivists. They are so disconnected that they don't care how they affect others and persist in their unkindnesses and lies. These people are a good lesson to those whom they affect. Much growing can be had from being exposed to their energetic field. However, distance is wise. If interaction continues, on whatever level, it must be fed with love and truth. These people will usually resent the truth, and resort to denial, projection and so forth. Stay centered. Forgive from within. When it seems wise to communicate, it must always be in truth and love, not overspeaking, not underspeaking. When you're aligned with God within, you never fail to notice God without. Forgiveness is easy, effortless and natural when you're aligned.

Those of you that are so free with forgiveness need to abide by that. If your child is abducted you do not call cops, you hit your knees and pray for his soul and his blessings. Don't say its different because it's not. Same thing if your family is butchered, that monsters soul becomes your responsibility to pray for and you need to not mention the dead anymore because its the past and irrelevant.

His is a spouse cheating not betrayal? Id feel like id be lying to myself if I agreed with that.

[@JP-nz4em]

what about people who consciously hurt you, that was their goals

[@mikeonthetube79]

just wondering if this guy uses any science in his teachings? All the science points to trauma being a brain injury and and recovery takes times and simply is not a case of being concious; you have to teach your brain and body to be safe again which can take a long time.

Eckart I had similar story. And now my dad is a flower

[@wisdommorepreciousthanrubi8321]

Repent and be converted well he never did convert. He would not be doing them evil things if he did. Don't say sorry just to get out of jail. Remission of sins is not unconditional like these modern preachers teach, but conditional on sincere repentance and conversion. Christ also gave the disciples power of the holy spirit not to remit sins.

He doesnt know what goes on. Its pretty basic stuff to respect each other bla bla and show love. He does not know anything that you dont, but made lots of money out of it. I respect him, he speaks some truths but he doesnt know shit

I've never understand why to forgive. But as time goes by I can see, all this anger and biterness is not a good place to be. So, thanks for this, it helps me a lot.

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

I'm not holding on to anything but I'm not going to forgive someone for intentionally harming me

[@NatalieCWilliams]

YES!! When you come to the place where you genuinely forgive, it means you've healed. Forgiveness releases you from the poison that can hold you back

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Thankyou Eckhart 💚

[@silentlividity923]

KISS. Keep It Simply Simple...Eckhart. Break it down 4 the simple minded like me...... Sometimes, I see my Mother or my 'ex' Love in my SELF. What? Yes, I do. Sometimes, I see some things that I do... looking exactly like the some things that 'they' did. What?!? Yes, I do. That's impossible. No, it isn't. So? So...."W H A T"....am I looking at... exactly? It depends. On WHAT? You could be looking at 'perfections' or 'not perfections'. Both or either could apply. Neither really matter. WHAT?!? YOU CHOOSE. It is your CHOICE to pick your perfections or your imperfections. Try to recognize those imperfections that you want to change to perfection. Try to understand that you are repeating these imperfections just like you saw in your Mother or in an 'ex' Lover....or WHOMever you learned this imperfection from. WHAT?!? Can you see that your Mother or 'ex' Lover are the same as you? With all their perfections & imperfections? Should you hold their imperfections against them? Against you? BUT...they hurt you? Yes, all imperfections are imperfect. How did my Mother & 'ex' Lover become so imperfect? The same way you did. GOD BLESSES ALL.

Helpful. Thank you Eckhart

[@markbryski]

I have read that perfection is reached when there is no longer anything left to take away.

[@thezzach]

2:35 To forgive means to not harbor any grievance or resentment against that person.
