About a year ago I was having a difficult time and I accepted things were as they are and I let go completely and had the most profound experience of my life. I experienced presence and oneness for the first time. I didn’t know what happened at the time and later I heard a recommendation for your book A New Earth, once I read it everything clicked, thank you with sharing your insights with the world it helped me and others in so many ways!

Hi Dakota, letting go and accepting the situation is the key challenge for me. Maybe it is my ego that does not like to acknowledge that I got something wrong; or the world has changed. I will try harder to let go. Thanks 🙏🏻

After two months my feeling get better ...by focus what you said looking at the sky, trees, flowers and think it's wonderful so I forgot the scary things and try to tell myself I am not alone.

I AM SPIRIT having a very temporary human experience. thank you Eckhart, when I read The Power of Now over 20 years ago it help facilitate a shift in my awareness where I could not just be aware of the truth but actually start living it. Namaste

[@human_cy]

I mean... "Do not fight against the body, for in doing so you are fighting against your own reality. You are your body. The body that you can see and touch is only a thin illusory veil. Underneath it lies the invisible inner body, the doorway into Being, into Life Unmanifested." Read the book again. Namaste

[@TheMediumChannel]

@@human_cy I appreciate the share and the quote "the body that you can see and touch is only a thin illusory veil"...Eckhart says exactly what I commented in a different way. The truth is we ARE spirit..we HAVE bodies. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the invisible inner body when stating "you are your body" but it's been over 20 years since I read The Power of Now and you're right, I should read it again. Have a blessed holidays.

Thanks Eckhart don't think I'll ever get it, even though I can't get it when I am it...

Thanks again for this sorry for going on.

It's not very practical to be in a meditative state when you are running chores. It just takes a longer time to do everything twice, because you weren't thinking. But it helps afterwards, when you realise how much time you have wasted, 😂 thank you Eckhart Tolle, happy Eastet everyone

[@jeanshareux2090]

It seems there are things I'm not able yet fully understand. I am aware of the ego and pure consciousness and I am able to tap into the presence often (not for a long time, but still). I still have a constant battle in my head. One part of me wants to just be present, enjoy every second of life, feel the energy of everything and live calmly in the mountains in a small house. But the other part of me wants to build something big, earn something (yeah even money - not to be better and more rich than others and build strong ego, but to enjoy some normally unavailable things and secure my family), and be reckognized somehow in this world. If I'm in a fully present state i have tendency to really not care about anything and I have no desire to build something in this world. Yet the state is enjoyable, but the other part of me wants to do these things, not egoisticly, but to achieve and make this world a better place not just for myself, but others. As you type about lose of your sense of identity (name, job etc.) - Somehow I really don't want to do it. I respect my parents and I want to make them proud and honor them and I don't want to lose my identity, my name, all good aspects of my personality and the way I am. Yet I wan't to live fully in present without EGO. When I obtained my college degree it seemed that my parents were more happy about that than me. I want to be happy about my achievements and share the happiness with them but in the present moment it seems I can't do it. So I'm very confused about that and it's a thing I somehow cannot understand yet. I don't know if y'all understand me, but I would be glad if there's somebody who could explain this to me..... As well as a person with a yet small company with few employees I have to sometimes be authoritative. Sometimes I need to use negative motivation and be tougher than normally on them. If I want to build something.. something which the society will benefit from I just need to do it. Everybody knows that and it's a concept which is done for a decades and it's working like that. If i wouldn't do it, my employees (as a normal people) would instantly use me or use it to somehow cheat on the job and thus slow the grow of the thing I want to build. I need to be performance oriented to do my job right. Yet it seems I am not able to do it in pure present state. I am really wondering about how to connect the business focused on performance and the present moment and living without ego. How to work harder than other companies and still be present and without ego. I am really battling with myself and I can't understand it yet.

[@karennoble1076]

Jean Shareau, i feel very much like you! and wish i could explain this type of conflict and how to be both, present and also engaged in the world, create something ,etc.i am elderly, retired, have done lots of things in the world, was mostly unconscious, no Eckhart but had times of presence through Jiddu Krishnamurti who influenced Eckhart. So i can only say you are not alone in this, sometimes this dilema gets quite difficult...and in an uncertain life and health situation.

[@jeanshareux2090]

@@karennoble1076 Thank you my friend! I'm still dealing with that, but i think now it's a problem that cannot be solved with conceptual mind. The best scenario would be to put these two ways together - to find a balance. But how? Anyways.. hope we'll be wiser by the day. Bless you my friend :)

[@karennoble1076]

@@jeanshareux2090 good to hear from you dear Jean. You are expressing so well my ideas especially about the conceptual mind but at this time we are not yet on the other "shore", in the Presence like Eckhart, like somewhere in between ?and have to continue practicing little by little, become more conscious! for more balance. any time we see become aware that we are unconscious, just seeing, realizing it takes one into the conscious state even for a moment. Sounds so simple but to do it, it does not happen overnight and also i think depending on our pain bodies, its density. It is a lifetime work.i also send us a prayer toward more awakening and a hug.
