Finding Fulfillment in the Gaps | Eckhart Tolle

[@yourcalmplace]

I just want to let anyone who’s reading this comment to know; Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not ✨

[@LarthMedia]

Through all the transformations I’ve been through in the past few years, I tell myself “I am not changing, I am becoming who I always was meant to be.”

[@tinfoilhatter]

but what if i'm-all-that, plus many-bags-of-chips or whatever... haha... just kidding...sorta-kinda, right?

[@tinfoilhatter]

ok, who wants some chips, for instance? haha...sorry...not funny? they weigh-the-world on my shoulder, but i guess they're just my-cross-to-bear, eh? ah, just go-on-without-me, guys....save yourselves~~~~~~

i remember how i learned to ride a bicycle in a parking lot, my bike had training wheels & they got bent a little at a time so i could fall a bit to either side until the wheels touched & sometimes there were those in-between moments where i felt the freedom of balance.... eventually, the moments of balance became longer than the moments of being held up & the training wheels became a hindrance...so my dad took them off & it was like flying...

“Becoming familiar with that space of pure awareness, where you’re able to think, but you don’t have to think - this is rising above thinking, instead of falling below thinking”… Eckhart always puts things so perfectly. So I just get it.

[@Wolfighter1]

Pure awareness is raw and very cold It gives the ability to see your self in present time and after.

[@angelwolf5089]

I like and agree with your comment and agree that pure awareness is raw but what made you describe it as cold as well?

[@paulmetdebbie447]

What you describe is detached witnessing. This is an intermediate position to become aware of the separated person. Going beyond even this is becoming aware of awareness itself. This is intimate and not cold, it is love.

[@angelwolf5089]

As soon as I reread the original post I got it. Call it a senior moment or a brain freeze, the important part is that you both expressed yourself well. I enjoy reading comments from people that are serious about their dedication to pursuing the practice as it doesn't actually come up a lot in day to day living. At least not in mine. So I think you both for posting 🦋

Sunset and surfing are wonderful only because they stop you from thinking momentarily. When the ripple (“I”) realizes it is one with the ocean, fear, anxiety, regret and dissatisfaction disappear. True satisfaction is inseparable from the present. Thanks Eckhart. 👍🐘🚀🌏💖🍻🏆📯🐧🍨🎯🤠

"Ultimate satisfaction, actually, is inseparable from the present moment"

[@Knusperknechtinthehouse]

When the spiritual teacher raises his finger in stillness, his message would directly be understood by me if in that moment I would have been high. Because I could perceive it with much more heightened senses and he would immediately bring me in the present moment in an intense manner

[@Jad3dJane]

Thank you Eckhart, for your beautiful teachings.

[@poembypp8032]

Great, it's life's blessing to hear this man.

[@jemandry]

Master Eckhart, my finding you and your teachings has been synchronous. It confirms that my conclusions have been on key. I believe that the sunset creates awe because it reminds us of sunsets of other existences. It brings together many reincarnations.

[@nankish009]

Iam greatful to this man..he changed everything🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Andrewbliss44]

Listening to Mr. Tolle is like peeling away of cabbage, layer by layer until you have reached your true self.

[@alexbuta]

There's one thing in this transmission that didn't feel right at all. When Eckhart mentions: "If you think your life is a big success, you are in a state of temporary delusion". That's not true. My life is actually a big success and success is something that we define on our own terms. For me, success is continuous growth, excitement, and a grounded feeling of satisfaction within. I am finding myself mostly in such a place and it is not a temporary delusion. I assume that there are also others who do and feel attracted by your teachings as well. So we exist, haha, we are real, we did the work and know what's real and what's not! Thank you for the rest of the transmission, I totally resonated with it!

[@red_disc]

Also, there is the same moment of connection with pure consciousness when we yawn. The moment when out mouth open most wide, there is a fraction of a second when we are unconscious.

I recall a famous "Free Climber" who was addicted to the process of climbing up a cliff without a rope, just using his hands and white chock. We was successful in climbing the most challenging cliffs in the "Free Climb" community. I think he never understood how that activity drove out his ego and he was in a constant state of presents. He loved it. He's dead now, in is 20's. Some people live to 100 and never experience the presents of the true self. Question, if you had to choose one or the other which would it be?

From where I'm sitting, If one is present how is it possible to be absent at the same time? You are either aware or unaware. Consciousness' is a simple function of the brain. Anyone who has been knocked out or under an anesthetic knows well the difference. It is impossible to know something you don't already know. My Two Cents!

[@paulmetdebbie447]

One can be present with the senses and what is happening. And absent with thought about that.

[@williamdiaz2645]

@@paulmetdebbie447 Our mind is filled with the chaos of swirling thoughts that we have little or no control over. It's called psychic entropy, a lack of control over our own minds. Our five senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, operate independently of each other. They each provide different information which is interpreted by the brain. This is why law enforcement seldom relies on "eye witness" accounts. Your thoughts influence your actions, and that's a more powerful phenomenon than you might think. You are basically and organic computer. Any illusion of self control is just that....an illusion.

Does this translate to our passions and things we love to do as our escape from ourself? Is the reason we have “passions” that we often say “lose ourselves in” we are able to find ourselves in causing us to be fully present in the bow of doing what makes us feel “alive”? Like is that what you’re saying? Is there a connection? I think I get that we get addicted to things that make us feel free. Because we think that we feel so peaceful and alive due to whatever we are doing or not doing within the moments of consciousness?
