How to Start Your Awakening Process | Spirituality for Beginners with Eckhart Tolle

- 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 ✨

Eckhart can bring a sense of calm to any situation. Now and over the years, whether I was stressed or not, I have listened to his teachings and it helps me get out of my head and to stop worrying so much about little, meaningless things. I ‘m so grateful I learned about Eckhart years ago.

[@kkkatie1979]

Most people cannot sit in peaceful silence for long, they have been practicing distraction almost from birth and stimulate themselves almost at every moment. Peace has to be practiced so it becomes their norm, otherwise it become far to uncomfortable.

I need to love myself. I’m so negative and beat myself down. I think I’m nothing and going no where. It hurts. I always think people are judging me negatively and that no one likes me. I’m so anxious and worried all the time. Dwelling on the past and worrying about the future has kept me from enjoying the present moment all my life. I pray 🙏🏾 to god that I turn my life around and not just live but thrive. I pray that I find love and purpose. I love you all and wish you the best on your spiritual journeys. God bless everyone of you.

[@scuba1788]

Start small. I recently surrendered to my guilt and doubts about myself, it was the most amazing experience and feeling. I let out all of the pain and trauma I’ve been carrying with me through meditation. I now smile and talk to strangers I see getting coffee at the store before work for example. Just giving a person a smile makes me feel good and that maybe that person needs that at that moment. Then, I know it’s hard but look into yourself and find the good things ad expand on them. Raise your vibration and self love will come. I pray for you to find comfort. Compassion is the best way to self love.

[@arkmstick3495]

Simple, Just stop talking to yourself and pay full attention to your senses. Like the old saying "the first sign of madness is talking to yourself" that includes thinking, that too is talking to yourself, and "Come to your senses" to relieve yourself from the madness. Its a practice, you have been practicing talking to yourself for decades, it may talk months but with conscious diligence you will succeed. You can practice it any where any time, just place your full attention on what you are doing or where you are. Easy.

My mind was racing... Racing .. I could only hold presents for a moment .. How long can the mind stay with the light .. 5 seconds .. Yes ... 10 seconds it's better, 20 seconds just barely. Only holding presents for 30 seconds was just too much light for that dark room! My mind/thoughts melted away! Can I focus to obtain consciousness and hold it for 30 seconds? As much as my mind says NO ..... I can! .............. REmember ..... Eckhart doesn't teach us, he simply reminds us of what we already know.. To remember, to re enter the membership. To REmember!!!

There is an energy field in my being, eagerly looking for your words. Every night before sleep I must listen to you. There is a story from persian sufi mystic that a sufi whenever wanted to listen to universe, he went to his teacher's room, sitting in silence and listening to the breathes of his teacher. The teacher out of nowhere started to speak without any reason. The teacher one time told the sufi whenever you come, I start to talk spontaneously out of nowhere, tell me your secret. The sufi said my secret is the whole existence. Whenever I want to listen to it, I come to you. This story repeats itself. The teacher is Eckhart and I am the listener. Eckhart 's words are exactly what universe tells me.

Please pray for me and my children. I’m so discouraged. I receive so much hate simply for asking for prayers. Prayers are ALL I NEED. I’m a single mother and I’m struggling to provide for my sons both are autistic and I’m overwhelmed! I lost my job because I declined the vaccine. I declined due to my heart condition I had a massive heart attack and I suffer from lupus. I am waitressing now but not making nearly enough to get by. Every month is a battle. I can’t go back to my job at the hospital because mandates are still in place. Jesus help me to overcome my fears. Because as I struggle I am fearful. Struggling to provide for me and my children is scary Struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. BUT I trust you Lord. Jesus hear my prayers. I’m so thankful that God has provided this far. Jesus has never left my side. Praise Jesus. Even though I’m discouraged I will keep faith! 0:06

When you feel exhaustion setting in, it is time to withdraw and restore yourself. If you feel demoralized, it is best to pause and recenter instead of acting from a place of depletion. If you can find time to unplug, do it. Reconnect with yourself in a big way if you can. And if you can’t, you can still recenter through tiny steps. Reclaim your first mountain here in Fabulous by committing to hydration, rest, nutrition, and movement, even in the tiniest amounts. Keep at it, and a natural rebalancing will begin.

“Knowledge does not speak to you at every moment, but it always holds a message for you. To come into the proximity of Knowledge means that you become more and more like Knowledge itself-more whole, more consistent, more honest, more devoted, more concentrated, more self-disciplined, more compassionate and more self-loving. All of these qualities are developed as you approach that which is the source of these qualities.” Steps To Knowledge “Today I feel the truth arising within myself.”

There is a book that helps enormously with the awakening process. Making sense of nonsense by Raymond Moody. It is not what it appears to be. The process of unravelling the person from you as the awareness (soul) requires the skill that Raymond's book gives you. It is a graceful transformation and takes a year before you even realise something has changed. Thank you for sharing the insights with us, brother ❤️🙏RW

I AM, is the pure sense of being which is I AM. It is alertness, but you don't use willpower to stop thinking. Just alertness. Transition from hating yourself to loving yourself. Then you let go relationship with yourself, to be yourself in the present moment. You eventually transcend to awaken state in the present state. 💝💝💝 Animals are in pre-egoic state. Humans are moving to post-egoic state. You love your dog because it has no opinion of you, and it has no opinion of itself. You love your dog because you love the consciousness of the dog. 💗💗💗💗💗 Who are you without reference to thoughts and narrative this moment? How does it feel to be you? What am I? Don't answer verbally. Sense the feeling. There is stillness in the gap. There is sense of presence and being-ness. Jesus says stay alert. Alert is consciousness without thought. It's not the absence of something, but the presence of something, the presence itself. 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Mark 13:33-37 New International Version 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back-whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’” Thanks Eckhart. 14 June 2023. 🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷🌿🌿🌹🌹🌹

Consciousness without thought…🤔 interesting. What is the useful way to interact with others with this type of alertness I’m thinking. It’s a good experiment to talk without thinking in the now.

Dogs do have issues... I enjoy living with all of creation and have noticed emotions in animals. Study the designer of modern slaughter houses.

[@vintorez9145]

I agree with that dogs and other amimals have emotions. But cats and dogs don't seem to create a problem out of these emotions. The emotions just are. A dog can be afraid, but it cannot add to the emotion by thinking about it. In the same way a toddler is totally immersed in its experience without being able to conceptualize (think, judge, compare) anything about its experience.
