The Most Important Spiritual Practice | Eckhart Tolle Teachings

[@rickster1217]

I remember almost drowning as a youngin. After all my struggle to get above water I just couldn't. At some point I gave up and started excepting the fact that I was going to die. In that realization as I desended, I was completely aware of my self. Things seemed like they were in slow motion but wonderful. It was the most beautiful peaceful moment I had experienced. Suddenly a really tall swimmer white dude came out of no where and pulled me up. As I gasped for air I heard him say "I gotcha buddy". I knew it was him saying it, but inside I interpreted those words as the universe speaking to me. Saying I gotcha, no matter what you experience.

One of the happiest aspects of Eckhart's personality, is his unassuming nature. There are musicians like that. They don't gyrate all over the stage, they just play, or sing. They "just" are. The music is in them, and they are in the music. That is awareness.

We don’t need to be aware when things are going well. That’s when we should just be. We don’t need to be conscious of happiness. We need to be aware when it turns to something different.

[@jessepasanen1422]

Satipattana sutta is in core of buddhas teachings (which is tradition Tolle is dumbing down) and is translated as continuation of mindfullness, sati. This reguires cultivation of wisdom, investigation, brahma viharas and persistance. Mindfullness isnt something done by me, neither is attatchment, they are functions of the mind, conditionally arising. So condition your mind to continuously have conditions for mindfullness arise. You cant get the while picture without it. Its like watching a movie but 90% of the movie you been watching your phone. You wont know whats been happening, missing the chain of causes and effects.

[@phoebusapollo4865]

Sigmund Freud defined the ego as "that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world" and the id is the "primal instinctive part of us which wants to achieve pleasure at any costs". Saying goodbye to the ego may allow the id to run riot leading to constant instant gratification. Any new age guru telling you to lose your ego is a danger to himself and society which is the chief requisite of a mental health section under the Mental Health Act in the UK.

Alertness is the key to everyday. Every day we look and listen and we see what is going on, because we are spirit and all beautiful things are available to us all. Awareness in every minute. Intuition is our best friend. Love it and listen to it. Spirit loves us in all ways. Sometimes we are interfering with information, but try it and see if you can get the message to help and love you on your path. Many blessings to all who hear this! I love you more than you could fathom. We all are working each day and shouldn’t be without gods divine messages. Thank god for all the people who try and succeed with sharing love. Love is all there is and all else is irrelevant. Stay the desire to commune with spirit and eventually all will be revealed.

Beautiful pointer: 'AM I AWARE NOW?' 'Let me check...' And then you are!

[@sockneman]

This is great. That is my practice right now. When I remember, I ask myself, ”are you mindful?” Then I say, ”I don’t know let me check” and I try to experience three things with my senses. It could be the warmth of the sun against my skin, or a tingling in my right knee or the sound of a bird. I have bought myself a clicker (counter) which I carry around and then I give myself three clicks. I try to be honest to myself and be truly aware, not to conceptualize what I experience with my senses; not to give the bird a name say blackbird - just experience it. It is a fun game and rewarding to see at the end of the day how many clicks I got that day!

This morning I was walking my bicycle to a tunnel that passes underneath a busy super highway in downtown Grand Rapids (pop. 300,000). On my journey walking the bike to the tunnel, I met a large white tail deer (a doe). I talked to the deer, and she did not flee. We were 100 yards from danger, the highway which calls to the deer to cross during rush hour. I told her to stay safe. I never met wild animals until I began to bicycle, which heightened my alertness by a factor of immeasurable multipliers. I have a lot of white noise in my brain when I bike in traffic, and this man Tolle has helped me to block the verbal self babble and begin to replace it with the mountain stream.

Whenever you feel that you are over there, ask yourself, "Where are you?" The right answer is " I am here." And "What time is it?" It's Now. Whenever or wherever you are, ask yourself "I am present?" When you're driven by thoughts, the question replaces you to the present. If you're alert, or present and not away, you don't need to ask yourself any question, just you are! With time practice, you will observe that time becomes shorter more and more between these questions.

@@GospelOfTimothy Hi Tim, being over there means being kidnapped by thoughts. If you feel or think that's you never have being kidnapped by thoughts, that's fine.

Observe with awareness rather than the interpreting mind. Alertness keeps thinking at bay, or thinking over-powers you. There is no straining or willfulness behind the alertness. It's relaxed, like vibration can be higher or lower. Thanks Eckhart. 😊🍾🎺🌴💯🌲📯🍁

[@payalk2898]

Practice of senses from 0:00 Listening to sounds of nature by closing the eyes Or alertness by following the butterflies is also great My most important lesson, "No point in thinking when will I have continous alertness?" 7:34-8:51 The same applies to happiness

[@TheAssadseenharo]

When I listen to you, I listen to you with awareness without thoughts. I hope I am getting awareness about awareness itself. Thank you Eckhart 🙏

[@cutechiangels]

His speaches are always interesting, and often with some humour ! But, here I have to say that not all fully enlightened or aware humans are here just because it's enjoyable! On the contrary! Often, these beings are here to show the path to enlightenment to others seeking, and often those light beings have a very tough time on this plane. Because of their good nature and kindness. When not protected by a community or so, then they are very vulnerable. And the lower vibrational people seek to harm them to the core. This needs to be known. Because those few of the fully conscious beings need to be protected in order to help, whilst in a safe environment. 🙏

Tracking animals in order to figure out what they are up to is good practice for alertness.

I tried this today when I was walking in the woods. It‘s still a challenge for me but I keep reminding myself to be in the present moment.

[@ursulareichetzeder]

@@juststop022 Simple noticing that I‘m in four different places and scenes in my mind isn‘t enough for me. I have to remind me to stop thinking and having conversations in my mind that have nothing to do (or sometimes it actually has) with where I‘m now. You know my mind is always talking, I‘m analyzing my dreams while I‘m dreaming and I am aware of the fact that my mind is never quiet, just noticing isn’t enough, believe me.

Thankyou eckhart, your wisdom is just what I need now at this moment, I’ve done absorbing everything I wanted to know, that was a fun time, sometimes overwhelming myself with information at times. However now it’s a wonder to just be free from myself, to sit and be, and in that being there is a deeper gratitude just for sharing space with a plant and even just being while everyone is busy and still I appreciate there being, it’s a state that I can’t even makes words of. This way of explaining an experience doesn’t even begin to define the wonder available to us in every moment, I can’t tell of it to anyone. I was a very unconscious person, parent etc, then life as it does, broke down and I was slowly born anew. Thankyou eternally, I feel like I got off with a life sentence for a crime I never committed, so every day feels vibrant and realer than I thought life ever would be. I am in love with this entire creation. Thankyou eckhart for supporting us through these times with words and wisdom for what we all can all become with some conscious effort. All it starts with is a thought to change your mind and use it as a tool rather than you be a tool for the mind to use. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around. Love to alll.

Nice to be able to recognise others before they even recognise you. I love observing people from a distance and usually know quite a lot about them by the time they approach me. I am not enlightened but it is wonderful being able to really look at people and get to know them before even striking a conversation.

That’s not what enlightenment is, Chuckie.
