wow, what a gift. I didt know Eckhart Tolle, fell into this video by chance and it totally resonated with me. He is like many Buddhist monks talking and how they laugh when they say the most obvious but profound wisdom, I love how its lighthearted and not to be taken so seriously. Life is hard enough. What he calls spaciousness, I have called my acorn, its that piece of myself that is my true nature. I am old now and can recognise in people and friends I have known for a long time whether they have found their acorn, whether they have stumbled upon it by chance or whether they are a searcher and realised it exists. Its a state of peace and contentment that exists, but life does interfere and that's not a bad thing, its just life. Loved his talk as he is so humble sharing it, so look forward to hearing more. Thank you Eckhart Tolle for your knowledge and sharing

Sleep has been saving my life for some years up to this moment. I am so grateful I could and can sleep almost every night, even if it's in the middle of chaos. Deprived of so many basical needs, sleep has turned out to be the real life to me. And last night I even was hugged and smiled at. Isn't it wonderful? I appreciate a lot the wisdom you share, Eckhart. And I love the calmness in your voice. It reminds me to breathe more often. Thank you 💜🙏🏻🫶🏻

Actually we allways are in the 4th state when we are immersed in something, very attentive, but without mind, e. g. When reading, listening, hiking, doing sports etc. The person is not present. We don't realize it, because there is no vehicle to know. Only later, when we come out of that state, we realize it was there and that it was beautiful, relaxing, whole etc. It was so beautiful, because the I wasn't present.

When I was small my father said there is a tiny space between being awake and asleep and, if I could catch it and stay in that space, I would have a new experience. It took a while but eventually I did catch it and found that I was free of my body and could explore. I have never tried to find out exactly what was happening but I called it floating. Maybe it was a dream that I could observe, I don't know, but I could go out and explore. I remember one particularly beautiful experience where I was in a cave that was above ground, overlooking the sea. A couple of large baskets were hanging inside near the mouth of the cave. They were empty so I don't know what they were for. It seemed as if I sat there for hours watching the sun dancing on the sea. I never met anyone else when I was in this state and I haven't done it for many years now. Eckhart has reminded me of that experience, I think I will start doing it again. Thank you Eckhart

This is why minimalism resonates so deeply with me, because of the opposite approach - I'm now trying to fix a problem not by adding something to it, but by reducing or removing something that obstructs and has no purpose. However, our minds seem to be wired to do so... to keep adding stuff, even when we're trying to meditate and be at peace.

Exactly. That's why negation is the key in Buddhism. It is difficult. Progress comes when one realised the futility of trying. Unfortunately, the next day we are inclined to again try and get back at that which stops the movement totally

Those of us that are aware have to feel the low vibration of the masses, and that affects us deeply. That's what meditation is for

@@ritagordon9859 For me, it’s the other way around. When I fall sleep, I am waking up to my true self. Communing with God hopefully! When I awake on planet earth, I die a little inside. Those small morning deaths accumulate and eventually what hasn’t killed me, just became successful at it. Sleep? Some without faith believe it to be the big dirt nap. No need to set up the automatic coffee machine. You’ve punched snooze for the last time. 9 minutes more? Ok.

Now that I’ve done my research and applied their knowledge into myself that I fully understand everything they’re saying now. It’s crazy because deep down inside I know what’s true it’s like knowledge that I thought u lost but was just deep within myself I just hand to reconnect with it.

I then asked Bing Chat, and its reply was that you're an INFJ. Assuming that's true, of course.
