How to Feel Gratitude for the Present Moment | Eckhart Tolle

[@ChildofGod98765]

Please pray for me this thanksgiving. These pass years have been difficult on me. I’ve been struggling to support my children. I keep faith and truly believe in God's promise trusting in his faithfulness. But at times it can be difficult. Especially as a single mother and having two children with autism. I’m overwhelmed. Lord give me strength as I struggle to support my children. But even as I struggle to pay rent and I struggle to buy groceries for my kids. I KEEP FAITH in you LORD JESUS. I’m so overwhelmed. I’m so tired Lord! Please keep me encouraged!

[@Tyzen222]

Sending you lots of Love, Light and Hope 🤍🙏🌠❤

We are all gods children. I empathise with your situation. My prayers are with you. Keep strong.

I see this comment, exactly as it is, on many many comment sections. Likely a bot unfortunately.

[@johngreen4683]

@@stevej.7926 it's 100% a scam bot that is clearly aimed at Christian people, apparently its on an awful lot platforms regularly according to what other people have said. Sadly it must still be getting rewards for the unscrupulous people behind the scam. There are sadly a lot of egotistical unconscious people out there.🙏🙏🙏🙏

When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening. When they said that she was isolating, she was healing. When they said she was acting funny, she was growing. When they said that she had changed, she was evolving. When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within. When they said he was becoming distant, he was learning to trust himself. When they said he was losing touch, he was finding his inner voice. When they said he was being stubborn, he was asserting his boundaries. When they said he was aloof, he was finding solitude and serenity. When they said he was being unrealistic, he was dreaming bigger.

Thank you for "The Power of Now" one of the best spiritual book I have ever read !

[@lindamutch191]

I sooo appreciate your videos. I recognized my ego was present strongly when I was grocery shopping. I judged the poor quality of food in many people’s baskets. I saw myself feeling superior as I wanted to buy much more organic foods then this store had. I was conflicted as I need cleaner food for my digestion and here I was surrounded by over weight people buying a lot of junk food. Listening to your lesson on ego driven thoughts brought me back to consciousness and I thank you for this important lesson. So I forgive myself and focus on being present. 😊😊😊

[@sehrishakram2155]

To learn "art of stillness" one has to go through a lot of suffering and an extreme urge to pull oneself out of this loop...not everyone can develop this skill.

"Stillness is the light of the world"- thank you for this. Reminds me of one quote I heard about stillness. "Stillness has been with us the whole way. No matter what’s going on in our experience, stillness is right there." It's like a relationship, a trusted friend. I have been practicing Steps to Knowledge, which introduces a "self-transcending" stillness practice, and it has been wonderful.

[@sarahjmount9221]

I liked and appreciated your comment. Where would I find out the info on “Steps to Knowledge?” I’ve been following Eckhart for about 4 mos., faithfully, now. Ironically, I’ve purchased 3 of his books for a friend but not for myself, yet. So, I’m just wondering if the “self-transcending stillness practice” you’re referring to is in one of his publications?

[@matthewscopelite5303]

Truly a "float tank" lecture. Reminds me of when someone says something of such significance the silence in the room becomes so all encompassing and still that one could hear a pin drop. It's those rare "pin drop" situations that perfectly describe the present moment

[@theunconciousmind7314]

I've realized that it's not about the words.. but it's about if and how much you really care. If u really care u never think about what you could say because it comes naturally from your heart, just as if u talk to a beloved one or your mother or family members. It's just flowing because there is trust, natural confidence and CARE 😊. It's really all just about careing and respect. U don't have to be albert einstein 😅😅😂

[@NaseerOmran]

True i can see he tries to translate the state of non duality. Which is accessed when the carnal egoic nature is not in control. That is the universal teaching and massage, in it ethics and morality is included.

1:58 Become comfortable with the state of not knowing. It's a kind of trust. You enter a state of unconcepual knowing. Don't think. It just comes. It is a state of consciousness. Be comfortable with present. Thanks Eckhart. 22 November 2023.🤩🌱🦆🍒🦅💖😎🤡🎯

[@carlharmeling512]

Your value to others can be viewed as what most people call self-esteem which is variable, illusory and can tank literally overnight. There are many examples of this. Your value to yourself is as Eckhart said, infinite and thus you cannot overestimate your value to yourself. What most people call self-esteem relies on the valuation others put upon you, which is a false sense of security.

[@Diana-jx1ju]

Thank you, Eckhart for your dream descriptions and explanations. These resonate, and every time my ego steps in to tell me I've taken another step, my dreams can keep me in line with the one Reality that I am or am not in tune with. I think the Dutch masters of still life and local scenes were keenly aware of this evolving path of alignment/disalignment as portrayed in their paintings and that was their own deeply personal inner struggle as well. Thank you for illustrating for us that openness to not knowing and that that in itself is a form of deeply felt inner power.

[@名誉ために日本人天の祖先]

Right now I am truly grateful (even emotionally) for the President of the United States, Joe Biden. I am still confident in his strategies and abilities, and I am grateful he shows confidence despite the illusion of opposition towards him. I am thankful fhat President Biden is too smart to get into any trouble, too smart to brag, and too rooted in american tradition and practice rather than hypocritical sellout to america's traditional enemies.

[@名誉ために日本人天の祖先]

I am grateful for President Biden's work both overt and secret to alleviate suffering and corrupt trade sprouting from the exploitation of the Uyghur peoples in China. It takes sensitivity to relate to something so far away but it is an important matter. Efforts by the US government to keep as many Uyghur people safe and rescued as possible are not in vain and they make a big difference, there is a spiritual reward for Americans for their conscious purchases in the market not just in regard to Uyghur related goods but all integrity in all purchases. It is worthwhile that American consumers are being more conscious about the sources of the food they eat and products that they buy and slowly leaving habit patterns that harm earth and humanity more behind in favor of options that have a better karma. I am trying to encourage all American consumers to keep this in mind and always try to buy with integrity let the third eye guide you and eventually reap major benefits. Eco-friendly every day

Thankyou for your tender speaking, Today I had a terrible outburst with my mother and now I understand why. Because she do not pay any attention to me but to my weakness and pretends to hear big things or news from me....but I have not a very special interesting career life. Exceptionel news and so on. I am now 59 years visiting my so very un happy mother. (For years I have been in the shadow of my sister) It is terrible to argue with her and I could not control myself and play the game... what would you do when your mother got her mothers house (my grandmother) seelling it to my younger sister and not asking or inviting me for 15 years and treating you as a person who is not really welcomed.? My mother seem to be happy hurting me and in her house there are no picture of me but only of my sister. I am thinking that attention and appreciation goes hand in hand. What shall I do?

Mr Tolle, I’m wondering how much of your time your mind is engaged in things in the past or future in your daily life?

[@sue6581]

Im still looking for answers regarding motherhood. When I just became a mother unexpectedly with a traumatic birth and then after that no help , the next years no help and being very sick . Also a post partum and no help. Sitting with my baby with so much pain in my body and feeling exhausted and completely out of balance with hormones. My son also had no rest and as a baby almost didnt sleep , so every hour he slept I fell imeediatly asleep. It was absolutely horrible. How do you cope with that? I really wonder wha the answer is to that? How to find peace in such years?

Waw. It’s interesting he says that grattitude should not be a means to an end. And his dreams about just before a presentation. Is that not a touch of anxiety too ? And how do you Appriciate a thing of beauty without the mind interpreting what you see The process of recognising something. There is a thought process that occurs Right?

[@alicebravo9147]

Right. I have trouble with this too. Wrapping my mind around the concept and actually DOING it. I might not feel like I'm thinking about something, but thenI feel I'm not really appreciating item A. And if I'm appreciating it, I feel like I'm thinking about it.(???)🤔

[@alicebravo9147]

The gratitude part I think he means a means to an end as in- you're appreciating something in order to express gratitude TO someone or something. OR in order to "be grateful " . He's saying just be grateful it's there. I think.

[@siewkonsum7291]

(A Buddhist teacher says) Pain is an appearance, but don't grasp on it, as it happens, but do things that need to happen - example say a painful toothache, go see a doctor (to happen), repair or pull out the rotten tooth (need to happen). 😊

Thanks but what is the pain is not physical ? If it is due to excessive worry of the future

Who 'is it that Feel Gratitude for the Present Moment ? I must be a new ego :)
