Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author, born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of 29 a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. He devoted the next several years to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into over 52 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and Watkins Review has named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound, yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on awakening consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking, and can be seen as the next step in human evolution. In the awakened state of presence, we discover what Eckhart describes as our essential identity-who we are beneath the surface-and its power for transforming our selves and our world.

Hello Eckhart, my husband loved reading your books & listening to you, his brain often worked overtime, it rarely stopped. This year he died, within eight weeks of the horrendous cancers ♋️ that spread. We were together almost 44 years. And so through my broken heart 💔 & despair I started reading your books & watching your videos & I thank you for making me think & just being here for me though we have never met x 💜 x

So after 46 years on this planet I'm just starting to realise how to find peace in any situation. Thank you Eckhart.

[@HolyGolyMoly]

You find peace by living a life worthy of peace. By living a life of integrity and truth and love. These 3 thjngs are difficult and require much effort and time and hard work..the peace Eckhart offers is the slumber of the ignorant and the blind. it is temporary and empty, and requires nothing except complete absence of meaning and purpose.

[@mikekinsella572]

Your view is simplistic and full of assumption in my honest opinion. In my own experience I have lived a life with these 3 things but I still did not have true peace in many of my life situations. This is because up to recently I have been unaware that I am not my mind. I now know that the mind is not to be trusted and can drag me into worry (my psychological future) and regret (my psychological past) if am unaware of its activity. My enhanced state of awareness is the key factor here that has enabled me to find peace. This is my personal truth and I hope you eventually experience this for yourself.

[@HolyGolyMoly]

@@mikekinsella572 okay, fair enough. So tell me, if you separate yourself from your minds voice, and you find peace, isn't that just the peace of the mindless? Of the speechless? Of the useless and ultimately, of the dead? What use is is peace, if it comes at the cost of giving up the primary instrument with which we live our lives? And doesn't the fear, and worry just come back, when the minds voice returns?

[@mikekinsella572]

@@HolyGolyMoly This is a very interesting question and from my perspective when I am not allowing my mind to take me where it wants I allow myself to experience life through my conscious being. Rather than being in a useless or dead state I think that I am perceiving life in its truest form when I'm in a state of no mind. I also notice that the more time I spend meditating and practicing awareness of my mind state I am more in control of my emotions and reactions during testing times. Fears and worries do return to some degree but I now notice more and more when I am caught in those states. Then I am able to bring my self back into the now by reminding myself that worry is just a consequence of my imagination running wild.

I’m a lucky soul, for I live in country Western Australia on a 2000 acre property. My daughters and I go walking every afternoon with the dogs and the cat comes. I’m loving not HAVING to go anywhere and not HAVING to do anything. I’m feeling nothing but peace and joy in this time of chaos. Stay strong peeps all over the world, stay focused on all the good that can come from this, for there is a change happening upon Earth. Can no one feel the chains slipping of from the slavery system. May nothing be the same again within the man made false structure. Great time to educate ones self on what’s really going on in the world. They have designed us to be dumbed down, and the powers to be would love to wipeout human pure consciousness. Go within deep into your heart space, until you feel the silence and the peace. Do this often and watch the magic unfold 🙏🏼🦋🙏🏼💕

I worried, I'm 63 and 2 yrs from retirement, what will I do blah blah blah.......to stop from panicking I grabbed a blank book nearby and immediately began writing all that I'm grateful for.....my good health, my adult kids, friends new and old, my animals, a roof over my head, some money in the bank.........and so much more. Writing that all down non-stop slowed down my breathing, the tears, and I found some joy in the moment and in the next moment and the one after that.......... Thank you Mr. Tolle.

@@kotred3097 The world isn't here to make anyone happy, nor is it here to awaken anyone. It is simply here, and to assume it is here to do anything with regard to us is incredibly self centered nonsense. We are simply part of the massive web of life, and we shouldn't give in to the easy path to self deceit, which is simply picking some guru "wisdom" to believe in that is nothing more than an assertion or theory masquerading as a "higher truth" from someone with charisma or a gift for oration, with no data to back it up, to believe or not for our own purposes. Reality is all that matters, not our silly theories about it being here to have some impact on ourselves, as if we were the most important specks of life in the universe.

[@autumn5852]

VitaminC Dokaz it doesn’t matter where you live; where you live represents only the outer reality of life, or more correctly, the illusion or delusion (as Einstein called it) of life and when you’re present everywhere is wonderful, no matter where you are or what’s happening, even if somebody has a gun to your head, you can still enjoy what might be your last moments here on this planet in this current time space reality. It’s all about being present and enjoying the gift of life and until then, people are simply a victim of their circumstances which are forever changing, so sometimes they will be judged to be good and other time’s bad but when you become present, every moment is truly wonderful 🥰

This whole situation of quarantine has showed us that it is important to be self aware and become more spiritually sound. Its all about treating every human being in a right and equal way and be kind to others and more loving and don't forget that this world is just temporary so we should treasure our moments here and be happy and more content.

[@selbyysel7874]

I dont think, that this reality is temporary. Timeline is just mind creations. This reality is eternal like consciousness, because all is consciousness. Between physically and spirituality isnt difference, just mind a ideas creates this seperation.

[@ImperfectMuslim]

[@bsimpson639]

Mr Phillips I agree. Instructing people in inquiry and self-awareness is usually only as effective as the time spent with that person, and the order in which these ideas are introduced. Getting past a typical ego, within an extremely “identified” can be almost surgical, and I think often about the people who have entertained these ideas at various times in their lives, but say it is “crazy” or maybe just confusing. For me, it took multiple teachers and several months of listening until one day “I” disappeared. After three days, the ego resurfaced, but that’s ok because I remember that time and how I felt, and I can often get back to that. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

[@myriamquiles9315]

Thank you Eckhart ! It is a total magnificent awakening to learn the skill to quiet our mind narratives. It is an unconscious behavior that can be corrected and once we become alert by being present, our lives do improve.
