Yesterday, after being full of thought, I suddenly kind of gave up and went aware of the present moment. It was a big shift, such a miracle. Then, the following days were full of peace, joy and love to everything I paid attention to. There was no future, no fear. I awake. Unfortunately, today I have been trapped into thought and ego. But I feel different now. Now im somehow more aware than before. I feel something big that wants to come trough me. Eckhart's videos and forum really helps. Sending love to everyone who is in this path.

I am 74 years old, and I just commented to my son that it takes so long to not have racing, egoic thoughts. This video helped. In eckhart's book, he says when these thoughts arise, just recognize it as the ego and smile. That helps a lot.

Faults that's only one small aspect you have to do some true healing of the Mind work which Eckhart totally knows nothing about being in the present moment doesn't do you any good you need mental honesty beyond what he knows about the big problem is all you new agers think you're the avant-garde and you are nothing you're not even beginning to be honest let alone heal your own minds you ignore the people who have already ascended because you think they're going to walk up to you tossing lilies on the ground in bare feet and white robes your ignorance is very evident and while you try to give counsel to other people that you think need to hear your advice you ignore the advice of the ascended humans on this planet completely

I don’t know if this helps anyone else but I stumbled upon something that brings presence no matter what for a few seconds at a time --which do add up! Throughout the day as I begin to feel negative emotions arise I focus on “feeling” the sensation of life in my body. There’s a slight tingle that is always there - it’s a matter of noticing it. At least for me but so many meditation practices also elude to it. I’ve also found it helpful when I am in physical pain and also when feeling panic. It’s subtle but very much life changing.

The last few days I've been remembering this image of a resistor wired to a short circuit (I'm an Electronics engineer lol) and a text alongside that says "Resistance is futile". As Eckhart says, resistance to the is-ness of the present moment is of no avail. Instead of offering resistance to the Now it should be better to be friends with it. It is very difficult to achieve, but there is some progress in me realizing it. The structures of the ego are so hard to dismantle...

Thank you so much🥰 Anyone who is reading this - have an amazing day!

This is a question that my ego asks every once in a while too.. it is a judgement and it is a harsh one. But because I obsessively listen to spiritual teachers (ET, Mooji, Byron Katie).. I have heard others ask the same question and seen that others have been on this journey for years and years as well. I absolutely love Eckhart's answer to this woman. And I loveeee that he laughed first!! He always laughs at the ego lolol... i have learned to laugh at mine as well (when im aware of it of course) but I am so thankful for Echkart and these spiritual teachers that we have the privilege to have access to! What a great time to be alive!! Blessings to you all and as Mooji says, THIS LIFE IS FOR FREEDOM!!!😄😁😆🧡🧡💛we are all getting free!! Yesssss😘😘😘

It's not about being "surrounded by egotistical people". As long as you blame others your ego thrives. It's about overcoming the false self from within. In fact "other people" who are unconscious can even propel you out of your own egoic state because the more obnoxious egoic behavior becomes the easier it is to distance yourself from it in many cases.

I would advise not to assume it takes a whole lifetime. It takes now. And staying with the energy you sense within. It really is about caring enough where your focus goes and how you experience this moment. The more longer you focus within on the energy, each time a thought arises taking attention back to the energy, it reveals a whole different reality, I would say. It's absolutely astonishing. Heaven on earth.

Indeed, as you and Eckhart said, be present with awareness. However, there is a process that requires spiritual homework, and that is the essence of know thyself. For example, some are attached to image, and so reject truth. In such cases, the present moment cannot assist such a one unless and until they participate earnestly in their spiritual homework, or spiritual practice.

The biggest thing for me is that awakening is more about perspective. Your awareness becomes accustomed to lying in that space of presence and your awakening accelerates through a genuine desire to go deeper into that awareness itself. Sooner or later, you will make that space a natural place to go to. -Much love from a growing KZreadr

“Thought gobbles up your consciousness.” Brilliant! That really hit me!

We are shedding thousands of years of collective conditioning... when it's put that way, it truly is miraculous. Thank you!

THE SIMPLEST THINGS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL

The Awakening experience shows you that you've always been awake.

We can only be ready and open to receive but we cannot initiate it. We are so used to being in control with a noisy mind and ego, that making this shift may not come easy. It can all take time. Tks for the videos and teaching! We need them.

It’s very helpful that he said the awareness of my anxiousness means I have the ability to feel it and move it out of my body and mind. It’s not anxiety unless you are unaware.

Thank you for asking that question. It's something that I ask myself all the time. Your question itself gave me as much relief as Eckhart's answer!

many years ago after my awakening started there was the subsequent demise of the ego but the seeking energy would still rear its head which is all a part of the universal intelligence at play. I got in touch with a lady who I knew was fully awake, towards the end of the session she said ' and it may never happen' (meaning self realisation). we ended the session and I was totally devastated then within seconds I felt liberated. I saw the ego was still holding on to the idea that I would get something which of course you don't and in recognising this liberation arose and the seeking energy just fell away . the frustration people experience is that the seeking energy has to collapse, which arises from a genuine surrender you can't make it happen and resignation is just the ego feeling despondent an illusionary letting go. then the inner journey begins where the programming, conditioning and socialising structures start to dismantle either all at once (which is rare) or over time leaving you with the heart you were born with....your true nature.

My awakening comes and goes. Drinking makes it 10times worse and almost forget the whole thing happened. Dont drink! Re - awaken and never let it go

I first came across Eckhart Tolle 24 years ago. Now I´m 58 and I believe I´m finally beginning to grasp "Internally" what the present moment is about. Why it took this long, I have no idea. But, I believe the moment is finally here and I´m just glad things came through for me spiritually. I´ve been practicing separation from throught / and the train of emotions for a while now, and gradually my life has become more peaceful. That doesn´t mean problems just go away, or the train of though stops all of a sudden. It´s still there, I only manage feelings and things that happen around me differently and my life is more peaceful and happier.

Perfect. No need for further explanation. First time in a long time Eckhart seemed more like a teacher than a babysitter.

Beautiful though and clear! Thanks Tolle for the caring and loving way to share love to us.
