People want more than anything to be seen, and yet they are terrified of being seen because they are afraid of what will be seen. And there is so much we want to hide, and yet we have hidden from ourselves that which is best in us.

Absolutely true. We tend to want to overshare the "good" and hide the "bad", but as a result disassociate ourselves from the things we hide and forget they are also what makes us whole to begin with

@@mindfulnesswithmatt Indeed Matt, thank you for that insight. It seems we can only perceive these perceptions, once we let go of identifying with thinking. Eckhart is a amazing guide to help people, to see a glimpse, a spark, of that possibility.

" Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." ( Proverbs)

I have been following the teachings of Eckhart Tolle since 2013 after going through a shocking and painful divorce at 27 years-old, which shook "my world" and reality as I knew it. All of a sudden, I was alone in the US, without family and friends - I had very little emotional support and had to learn how to rebuild "my life" on my own. The loneliness and disorientation I felt were intense, Eckhart Tolle's teachings was all I had, so I leaned into it heavily, listening to it every day in my solitude and finding comfort in his voice and in the truth I sensed in his teachings. 9 years later, after a difficult journey of uncovering a lot of unconsciousness (the divorce was just the beginning) my life has transformed - I remarried a wonderful man who is kind, loving, patient and we practice spirituality and work on our unconsciousness together, I have started my dream and vision of becoming a spiritual wellbeing coach with a focus on Eckhart's teachings, and my dream of moving to Portugal is finally coming true. I don't want to focus on the "outer layer" only and don't want to give the impression that life is now perfect, we all know this is not the nature of reality. There is still unconsciousness, but more often than not I am aware of it shortly after, so I'm able to let go and not create suffering. I continue to practice presence since I know anything I experience in the world of form is temporary and will eventually dissolve - I want to be cautious not to develop strong attachments to the world of form after manifesting the life that I always wanted. I felt the truth in my bones in everything that Eckhart teaches, but to have put it to the test (how he says it himself), and to now experience and see the truth for myself has been transformational - it has deepened my presence and trust in it, and it is incredibly liberating to feel connected to source throughout normal daily life. Thank you, Eckhart.. I am infinitely and forever grateful for your teachings

This is SO good! I battle with decision making and have learnt, with age, that often immediate action is not required and waiting can really help.

I have found through age, allowing time and space between thoughts and decisions allows answers to come to us by way of realising rather than trying to think of the right or best thing to do. I wish I'd known understood this years sooner than I did but at least I have it now 😊👍🙏🙏🙏

Great advice. Don't feel under pressure to get an immediate decision. Give yourself and the situation time and space for the right action to blossom.

This is a rare version of eckhart to be more of this world and even him giving the figures amused me a lot, thank you Eckhart 😁

Thank you for helping so many of us realise its ok to be different from how we were raised to be, which was often to NOT question how our parents thought and behaved. I literally found The Power of Now in a secondhand shop when I was about 75 now 80 and your book has been instrumental in helping me and mine to re evaluate so much in our lives, and hopefully help us grow towards the light.

Belive me it has. Whatever this man teaches makes us just become numb and ignore what affects the past has on us. The more we run away the more it haunts. It never goes away. If if doesn't seem to affect it has affects subconsciously. Believe me, after following his teachings for more than 2 years I felt I got behind in life and became numb. His teachings will make us more depressed. Believe me and live your life normally. We all have bad days and they affect us. We need to move on and get to better places and people. Whatever he teaches solves nothing.

The next day I remembered a KZread video of elephants painting pictures- this rang a huge bell for me - if dear elephants respond so well to care & kindness that they grow to create a drawing of themselves - then what matters most is Love, Kindness, forgiveness, patience etc - NOT death, destruction, mamimg, subjugating etc - peace be with you all ✌️

I have asked myself the same. The answer that came to me was that our world leaders, situations, wars etc are manifested from our collective consciousness...or better said unconsciousness. Our own lower emotions and mindlessness that have not been purified on a personal level are causing the damage in the external world. The "cure" is for each of us to do the inner work, raise our awareness and vibration...10% is necessary to "turn the world around". But the 10% need to vibrate over the level of 500...which is neutrality. All starts with courage. It takes courage to face your shadow.

Do you really think what appears on tv is more important than what doesn't appear on tv? There is much more injustice than the distorted image they are painting for us through the media. The media is an instrument to manipulate people if the world was ruled by people with pure intentions do you think there would be so much poverty injustice and misery? Politics are just a game in which they blame each other to distract people from what is really happening. We the people generally don't want that much just harmony and enough to sustain our family. Then why is there so much conflict? Because those in power play mindgames with us. Devide and conquer always worked. I agree with you, love (understanding forguveness acceptance..) is the answer, the way to overcome our differences.

"If there is time give it time" and space = presence

Wow 🤩 God Bless us all 🙏

I am relieved and grateful to hear Tolle say that he's about 80-85% stillness and 15-20% "doing", and so he's "not that good at doing stuff". This is my situation also, and I sometimes worry myself sick that I should do more, plan more, preserve more, structure more....thank you for the validation, Eckhart. Has anyone here successfully done the 50-50 balance of both? Or, has anyone has better experiences with an unbalanced ratio on the side of presence?

Amazing message, Hes always answering exactly what we need, thank you Eckhart for giving us the tools to help us grow and be wiser and better every day.

You could view spaciousness literally also - most of you is spaciousness, the space between atoms/matter in your body/field is way greater than the space occupied by the solid matter. For all we know, we may be tapping into this universal substrate (Atman, anatta, presence, etc.). This connnects the physical to the metaphysical or spiritual dimensions.

Amazingly good advice from Eckhart Tolle in this video. Find new questions, questions that help you to find new information that you need for your decision. Do not follow your impulse but delay your intuition. I'm a bit surprised that Eckhart Tolle and Daniel Kahneman are so close on the subject of decision making and intuition.

We are all an equal unbreakable part of the reason for there being everything rather than nothing at all, and all human attempts to take ownership of and claim exclusive access to the reason for everything rather than nothing at all, are delusional at best and fraudulent and cruel at worst. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful video 🤩

I have tried to practice the idea I call it 80% rule of Eckhart. It is at 10+min when he said 20-15%form vs 80-85% spaciousness. I have a good sense of spaciousness - I call transparency when I feel there is no blockages. But as I have been an engineer and management consultant (karma), I may have developed my mind which is curious to ask many questions as if to solve problems or for fun. At 74 yrs old, I thought I had enough exploration and go toward 80% and I have tried. The final verdict is not there. But I relates to what he says here - also with Maharshi's reference. We are a biological beings and as if a tree may grow depending on the threats and opportunities, the situation of how the energy flow may change. I say ride the wave of the universe. Like surfing, I fall off but keep rising up to have a good balance and else to navigate my life. Thank you. Kio

Muchísimas gracias!!! 🤗❤️🙏

I'm also "too" spacious. Not good at handling stuff and would rather just not 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 Very insightful talk. TY 🙏🏼💚.

“alert stillness “ “If you are not totally clear, not go with in.” “ spaciousness“ 80% spaciousness and 20% form” when describing your self, it is so hard to explain. But yet I am told, through various narratives “that I do not need to explain myself.” Where does “consciousness “fit in to your self descriptive statements? The fact you are not reading notes is incredible, you are a true gift to mankind. And inspiration. I am now starting to learn, very slowly, that little bites of knowledge, is equivalent to a half inch versus 10 miles. It is one and the same. I am sure you have covered “consciousness “, and much specific detail, my question is, how does spaciousness compare to consciousness, if at not at all, or I would love to hear your opinion on the two of them and how they blend and complement each other?

Hi Echart, you remind me of an old saying which wen't like this: let me sleep on it, I will give you an answer tomorrow! But we never got told why.

Such decisions are not made by the mind and mental deliberation but arise from Silence.

WoW❤❤❤❤thank you

We don't so much "make decisions" as we arrive at the right decision through discernment. There is a natural course for all things, even those that we believe we can make a decision about ... for me, the process of "deciding" is more about my acceptance of that natural course once it presents itself.

Wow!

The 16th century mystic, Saint John of the Cross, once wrote: “God's first language is silence.” In commenting on this insight of Saint John of the Cross, the late Trappist monk, Thomas Keating, in his book Invitation to Love, said: “Everything else is a poor translation". Let's try exist in inner silence... There will be not any opportunity to argue with anybody include myself...

Thanks 👍 Eckhart, I like when you say you are 80% being and 20% doing, it must mean that you like presence to much😊🤣 than doing ,I call it "spiritualling all over yourself "

Check out books by others that documented his words, interviews and even KZread videos pertaining to U.G. Krishnamurti 😊 You're welcome.

I generally resonate with this video but it's actually messed with my mind that he said if you go against what you intuitively want you might get ill (don't quote me exactly on this I watched it the other day). That's quite a bold statement to make and a bit fear inducing, especially when you're someone who struggles with indecision.

Sleep on it. At night, the subconscious will ruminate and generate a clear answer in the vast majority of cases. Of course if the situation allows time enough. A power nap will do the same in relatively short time. Same effect as meditation.

What if you feel someone is lying to you or you've found proof that someone is lying to you, but you don't know what the truth actually is? (You don't know how what that person wants because they're not being honest with you ie they're trying to hide their true feelings about the subject.) 🤔

What a difference in thoughts and perceptions in the comments.

The point is, the mind don't understand about presence, because it is rooted in past memory, so when space emerge the understanding come, perceiving reality only present moment, out of it there is nothing happening, cause past and future only exist in memory, memory is not existence, all event of world happen now. To have this understanding as knowing is good long journey.
