I loved the part about when you listen to a spiritual teaching you're listening from the part of you that already knew it to be so🙏🕊️💕

It's better to see the video and undesrstand more about willpower.
It's simple to say - just surrender! But how it's difficult to do!
Willpower shouldn't mean force, but rather an inner motivation. Just keep inspiring yourself to be the best version of you. Thanks Eckhart, for your lovely talk.
Eckhart is a realist with his teaching.He is aware of all the pitfalls and explains them perfectly 😀
Fourth Way teaching will help with maintaining presence and going deeper 😀
I love this man!
Surrender in the present moment

willpower should not be made to bear the unbearable forever you must start with will power but move to logical understand. example eating meat you should only stop eating meat when you understand why you should logical not eat meat because when the temptation grows willpower when you are at your lowest will fail you.

Gavin, what is love?
Found that alot in the beginning in your teachings, a fierceness there and was left feeling very raw sometimes when the "me" was mentioned. Had held and Identified with a false sence of self for so long in a very distorted fashion where their seemed to be nothing but judgement from and towards this self I believed to be me not sure how or when it happened but now there is alot less judgment and seems as I grow smaller the less there is to judge. Guess it's true about perception makes projection, think it goes something like that, maybe that's why I couldn't hear your teachings then in a compassionate way cause the conditioning was only hearing it, is hard to hear when the hearing is completly biased and there is no room no space to be compassionate. Thanks for all of this🙏
Your Teachings Content & Voice restore & renew Many thanks
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!! 🙏🙏🙏Thank you Eckhart❤
Will power, or applying mind over matter is how I cured lifelong illness doctors said I would never heal from so YES, it is an important part of awakening and May will be a Universal #11 month in numerology and in the Chaldean System represents "lion's Muzzle with Clenched fist" which is all about applying the power of will and overcoming limitation and obstacle...so this video is coming at exactly the right time. Time to overcome all that holds us back from being the best versions of ourselves...and of course it all starts with PRESENCE

🙏🏻😂yes... and then you feel irritated because your serenity is disturbed 😂 Totally have those moments. All I know is I love to listen to Eckhart, everything stops and it is like "home" in all the best, good ways that home can be. Settled. Calm. Clear. Safe. Then being that way afterwards as the gaps in-between thoughts grow. Onwards in now. Not trying or forcing. Just being in the what is more. How blessed. Thankyou 🙏🏻 Thankyou 🙏🏻 Thankyou. 🙏🏻🌹
I've been on an awakening path for many years, light workers, indigo it was (The Power of Now) & (A New Earth) CD at least 10 yrs ago, I forget and put that energy key in my pocket, Thank you Eckhart T. 2020 Opened that Energy Gateway like a Supernova Now. 🧬 🙏
He is so inteligent to listen to.
🌸Thank you very much 🌸🙏🤗
Thank you
It's so amazing how spot on you always are! Thank you so much!
To becomes interested in some topic which you are not liking, one has to put effort initially to develop interest. For some it may happen immediately and for some may take long time. Till such time one has to use is will power to develop.....
will power is very important in awakening. will power is how you maintain your consciousness under pressure and maintaining your consciousness under pressure allows your consciousness to grow and your consciousness has to grow in order for you to reach the threshold to awaken
A few months ago, I couldn't stop the endless inner arguments and my past pain renewing itself, but Mr Eckhart has enabled me to OBSERVE my ego and I can now quickly snap out of unconsciousness and get back to being (more) present.
This question is so valuable !
Power (fierceness) VS Force (will power).
Great video , greately put ❤
So True
Oh lol i was just remembering this today. However, I do believe that you have to somehow use willpower at least in some way. Like one Swami said, to say, “I will meditate when I feel like meditating” is a trick of the mind that will never lead you anywhere. You still have to persist, and there will be times when we feel like not meditating, but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t meditate at such times. You still have to try, I think

I am always present with no thoughts but thoughts have a way of pulling me in without my knowledge so I break it off by being present again and again but now it seems that I am stopping my self from thinking even about productive stuff, now I need help to focus on productive things

In someways the alertness - coming into presence may feel like a coming home.
Surrender the egoic self will to divine will.
No, a "me" can not will itself into seeing through the illusion of "me".

There is a place for willpower on the path, it’s too simplistic to say it’s not involved.
substantive choice for God's federal hegemony of free will kingdom
👍
Very interesting! Still, I think that there can be identification from the ego with spiritual teaching, which also is not good.
Eckhart's voice reminds me of the very 1st dumbledore in harry potter as he speaks his voice sounds very similar 😅
My Cat is proving to be a Great Zen Teacher
I am listening to spiritual teachings when there is other things for me to do in the material world like studying etc. What to do? How can I balance both. Like everyone i am also drawn to the teachings ,the needing to hear this comes so effortlessly but on the other hand the things like studying which i actually enjoy doesn't why?
Without expression there is no substance to life...
Faith without works is dead.
Are there EVER going to be any NEWER VIDEOS??? I think I’ve viewed all of the ones … many over & over. I can’t afford $269 to attend an event or $1000 to sign up for a course.
I Must Listen to Eckhart Now. 😂
The will is a real, true thing. The will of the mind or ego is an illusion. It is a program. Data in, data out. There is a true will that has the true spark of creation. The aspect of ourselves that has true will or willpower can and does to listen to its higher self or the ego. The ego isn't realized and can never be. The higher being is pure and fully realized in that sense. The part of us that can choose our higher self or not isn't fully realized. This aspect of ourselves chooses spiritual growth or it doesn't.
I wouldn't say willpower, so much as the concept of discipline in being a very strong component for spiritual growth. You won't grow or evolve if you don't employ some level of discipline and consistency. To be aware of the present moment necessitates a profound amount of prana or energy. You cultivate this energy with different practices and lifestyle choices. That is why a lot of people can only stay present for short periods of time. Awareness is cultivated through a consistent desire to be aware, and you strengthen this through discipline and repetition until it becomes spontaneous and natural. It's like learning your ABC's. You cannot just start reading and writing. First you must learn the alphabet and language rules. You practice and put into action these concepts. Through discipline and consistency, reading and writing become automatic. 🙏 "How piteous is the spectacle Of people wandering in the world’s ways Aimless, frisky like a goat’s beard And chafing at the discipline That leads to permanent freedom." - Ramana Maharshi

@@tinyrockyplanet8953 I didn't say that love, joy, compassion or gratitude or not intrinsic to the process of unfoldment; they absolutely are. What you are speaking of is the later stages of spiritual integration work, as the process becomes spontaneous, natural, and blissful. But to arrive at this point one must remember what got them there. There are stages of evolution to conscious expansion.🙏🏻🌻🌟

Presence is relaxed alertness. it has no willpower. Non-relaxed alertness has elements of willpower. Thanks Eckhart. 😇🐛☕🐘🐧🏞🍕🏜🌏📯
Hey, man- I have loads of will-power. I have a question, though. I saw a picture of a doggie, man, and like I was like "hey- does Eckhart Tolle have a dog? What is his name?" I'm asking because I bet you it's nice. I bet his name isn't "Krampus" or "Gin-gin" and that's all, man, that I'm saying. I'm also in agonizing neck pain and so I'm acting goofy because of IDK what, y'know? 1960 was before I was born, man. But in Germany, Tolle was probably listening to Heino, doing a dance IDK. Okay see ya

When you listen to something spiritual, there is something in you that wants to listen. It's not conceptual willpower. It's from deeper energy level, from what you already knew. The truth is always RECOGNIZED. The truth is drawn out to the surface to be recognized. Thanks Eckhart. 😇🐛☕🐘🐧🏞🍕🏜🌏📯
Willpower in meditation is putting the lid on a boiling kettle. Forcing yourself to be still won't work. Anything could set you off in explosion. Thanks Eckhart. 😇🐛☕🐘🐧🏞🍕🏜🌏📯
