OMFG. Eckhart explains so much of my own journey where I have misunderstood/misidentified my own gift with presence. I remember being outside my uni campus and the work man went to get a coffee for this older guy. He told me he had dementia so I kept an eye out for him. anywhere I remember this energy (now I know it's deep presence) and I had a conversation with the guy that spoke about things so articulate. Which left me feeling a bit confused at why was he different in a conversation with me. Eckhart is filling in so many gaps, and making me make sense. Where as I have been misapplying or not having that deeper understanding. So grateful I can hear his words, and my own through his experience and presence. ❤

I once worked in a city, by the ocean, that was very much a tourist town. Traffic everywhere. Every day I would walk to work and pass a small house with a large mailbox that had a cover on it that read, 'Be Still and know that I am God' Every day I would pause at that mailbox and close my eyes and just listen. Yes, there was traffic noise, but I could hear the wind blowing through the pine trees and hear children playing on the playground at the elementary school, the ocean nearby and when I opened my eyes, I could see bird's circling in the sky and hear woodpeckers in the trees behind me. Every day I would pause when I saw that mailbox which reminded me, 'Be Still and know that I am God'

[@Jewelmind]

Very beautiful story

[@Twilightsummerbreeze]

That shows us that the simplest things, like a message on a mailbox, can have extraordinary power in another person's life.

[@alexmcnab57]

Just love this soul, beyond understanding. Eckhart has given us so very much, can't thank you enough ❤

Difficult mother shaped my life for the better. When she died, I told my siblings, “Mom taught us how not to be. There’s value in that.” My life has not been easy, but her life was far more difficult. Bless you, Mom. 🙏

[@shanaynay333]

Bless your heart. Way to go on setting an example for your siblings and coming to acceptance with your mother. ❤

Once upon a time, I used to allow myself to be riled up by hot topic discussions (e.g., politics, religion) and those were inevitable at family gatherings. Today, thanks to Eckhart ♥and my understanding of the Ego, how it functions, why it functions that way, I have absolutely been able to transcend my Ego almost 100%. I can now peacefully sit at family gatherings and my Ego no longer feels the need to engage in hot topics, to defend its position, to be right, or to show the other person that they are wrong. I have become The Observer and I am content knowing that I have not allowed toxicity into my Being. It's so liberating!

[@chrisnam1603]

contratz, really, often 'i'm so gonna do that since i know all that' and than... they get me again (yup it's 'my fault'), it's so wise and indeed the liberating must be awesome

[@Discovering_Humanity]

Great „Achievement“! Ty for sharing and all the best for you :).

[@jasprerph]

[@lizbrown9553]

​@@chrisnam1603 This happened to me so often until I really sat back before engaging with family to FORM A PLAN OF PERSONAL ACTION PRIOR TO BEING WITH 'PEOPLE' ... I LEARNED TO BE & STAY DETACHED..... REMOVE MY MIND FROM ANY COMMENTING.....IT WORKS...JUST SMILE A LOT❤.. I found that I rarely have much to say anymore .. VERY FREEING🫶👍

4:54 You must intensify your presence when you are with unconscious people. 11:16 Everything that arises, make it part of your meditation by deep acceptance of what is. Transcend the toxic energy, complete surrender, not resist it. You become toxic energy when you react to it. Thanks Eckhart. 27 December 2023.⛳🍁🦆🦋😎🤠😇🎆🎁😂

Eckhart's kindness and sincerity keeps me listening to his ideas and that constancy has lifted my life situation, bettered daily interactions. The hard edges have softened. I am so appreciative-- In particular, Eckhart's writings about "pain body" explained so much. As I read someplace, "an Eckhart a day keeps my pain body at bay..."

[@louisethorp8029]

I thank the universe🙏🙏 everyday for your teachings. We are truly blessed to be able to just press a button and hear your wisdom. Thank you 🙏🙏♥️♥️

[@rogerlin9602]

15:19 It just is. Your mind says nothing about it. No complaints. Allow yourself to feel the energy. That's transcendence. Through surrender you transcend. 🤩🦆🎆🌹🍒🍮💖🎯 The most important thing is the state of consciousness you bring to the situation. You realize their egoic grip, but you don't exercise egoic superiority. Stay present and accept their reactive behavior. They are like children in evolutionary term. Thanks Eckhart. 27 December 2023.🐘🍁🍦😇😂🌹🍒🎆🍒🍁

Deep acceptance of what is

[@johngreen4683]

When we notice our thoughts and thinking are going in a direction that does not support our happiness and mental wellbeing, it's a bit like realising your driving in the wrong direction to where you want to be going . Trying to immediately perform a handbrake turn will just leave us in the wrong lane driving against the traffic, while mentally simply pulling over to the side of the road and allowing the road to become quiet presents us with a opportunity to safely turn our mental car around without resistance and head in the direction we really want to travel in without resistance 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@andrewjakubczak1512]

There is a catch with accepting. One can truly surrender and let go of resistance inside and deepen her/his presence, or one can suppress resistance with the will (thought) and think it is a real acceptance. So be careful :) I approach difficult situations slightly differently. Over the years I developed the ability to sense the energy field of triggered feelings/emotions IN my psyche/body. The old, suppressed in the subconscious energy field is the source of the chatter in our mind. When we subcome to the chatter and go with the flow we enlarge that energy. Anger/fear or grief will "color" our thoughts. Just by observing the content of the thoughts that FLOW INTO OUR MIND one can understand what feeling created the thoughts. Putting our attention on that energy field in the body dissolves the "disturbance" and brings us into a deeper presence.

[@claresmith9261]

Absolutely and completely brilliant, I’m going through family difficulties now and a lot of times I bring this peace to the situations but this has helped me to become more aware of how my ego and resistance can come in , thanks 🙏 and bless all the difficult people that come into my world ❤

To a surrendered life, God bestows all blessings... both Spiritual and material.

[@oksam7667]

It’s quite difficult with extreme unconscious negative people to remain in the Presence, because the Presence accentuates the gap, between them and you and may scare them which may result in aggression. Also, they want you to engage, participate in whatever their mind is involved in, discussions, projects, slandering of others… if you remain aloof, they won’t tolerate they will attack. And finally, unless one is unshakably rooted in the Presence, it will be very difficult to maintain it! Talking of experience

Surrendering and accepting is very, very difficult for me...try by meditating every day..., but it is very, very hard and mostly my mind does not succeed !😢

There are so many different obstacles that I face, and one of the biggest burdens is that I don’t have anyone to turn to for help.

Thank you. This is very helpful. I have a close relative by marriage who is bipolar and it's very difficult for the family member who is married to this person. She is extremely negative and if I or someone says anything even in discussion with another person she'll pick out something take it out if context and personally apply it to herself and go ballistic . My brother is regularly verbally attacked as are other people me included. She goes up and duwn in three monthly cycles. I try to keep myself present and realise it's a test. I'm very concerned for my brother as over the years it has affected his health. My husband and I are keeping distance now. Very sad as they are family and I miss my brother. But as you say it's a lesson and living in a rural area is a great help. I'm very grateful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
