I am overcome with gratitude. Something so seemingly and actually simple has completely changed my life. It is this man, this teacher who became my professor. I have read and followed and listened to him for years. But this last year I found I needed to really listen. I was going through a horrific loss and for months I have availed myself of his videos as a main staple to get me through this time. I have actually awakened. I noticed this morning that I made it through the horrendous suffering and it was a true awakening. It wasn’t sudden for me. It took time. I love this teacher and am grateful beyond words. Thank you Eckhart .

One can really stop thoughts. Human race thoughts come and go. There is simply identification with every thought until it hardens into one's illusion of a personality. The I AM doesnt recognize personality.
This came at the right moment.

So many people want thoughts and emotions to "go away"... it is much better to live with them without their "pressure"
The next step in our evolution is to transcend thought and emotion. Those who are not slaves to their minds and emotions are those who will be able to control their lives and direct them in the way they want. Intelligence is the ability to make your thoughts your own, and not by becoming possessed by them, but rather by knowingly choosing to engage with them.

🙏 Thankyou Eckhart from 🇬🇧 uk.
The state he's referring to that we should seek is a feeling that I think I last had when I was five ... or six ... or four? I was in bed looking at the light on my electric radiator. I was perfectly in that moment and not thinking any other thoughts ... and it was perfect happiness. I never forgot that moment.
I love the person you are Ekhart. Live for ever and ever.
Can you let this moment be complete by itself without adding any thinking or past stories? When you stop thinking, you don't lose consciousness. You are simply I AM. Not I'm this or that, just I AM. Thanks Eckhart. 🏡♨️🗼⛩🏝🎗🎄🤩😂🎯
Too much clarity in speaking truth reality 🌹🌹🌹
Thank god for u eckhart!!!
Thank you for your ever lasting guidance.
This is absolutely quintessential for spiritual ascension. With over 60,000 thoughts per day, 95% subconscious, repetitive and programmed learning how to get present to the point of being the observer rather than the participant of all the thoughts and the emotions they create in the body...even for a moment allows you to step out of the programming and step into TRUTH. And going even further if you get so present to lose the false identities of society you discover the true nature of your being...like when I meditate and reach that level of presence I am no longer "Adam" or "a medium" these are of the ego..the conditioned mind..rather I am ENERGY..SPIRIT...PURE LIGHT.

It is a great just watching you. Whether you’re sitting, standing, speaking not speaking I’m just in awe with everything you do
This is something that must be continually renewed, like watering your plants or decluttering your house. In this case it’s decluttering your mind. I go for long periods with a deep sense of peace now because I meditate with Eckhart and Mooji and Tara every a.m. But there are flashes of the “old” anxious me now and then that must be observed and released with prayer and meditation. The more I do this practice, the sooner and easier it is to bring myself back to a peaceful, “empty” place. Today I was very worried about something that may never happen. I caught myself and remembered that “worrying” is betting against myself, took time out to meditate, and once again feel fantastically, wonderfully present, thanks to Eckhart and my Higher Power. Looking forward to a lovely day.

I find it interesting that most of us must dedicate time daily to our spiritual studies and/or meditation. Personally, if I miss just one day the ego demon swoops right in and wreaks havoc with my mind. I’ve listened to The Power Of Now multiple times and A New Earth Once. It’s amazing how powerful the negative conditioning is. It doesn’t want to die. Absolutely essential to totally immerse oneself into the spiritual mindset. Seeking enlightenment is not something that can be pursued halfheartedly. For some of us it’s like going to war against demons (I often compare the painbody to a demon).

@@priyakaramchandani1415 In general I agree what you are saying. That is exactly the spiritual practice Eckhart refers in all his talks basically: Just observe yourself and your thoughts. However, I find the thought "We should not have preconceived images" is not so helpful, because that is exactly what most people do have. In my understanding it is the Ego speaking, telling you that your own reality should be different than it actually is...which is kind of a war against reality. We can observe the thought "We should not have preconceived images" like we can observe any other thought, and accept that it's there without thinking it shouldn't.

So well summarized, Wanderers! Thank you! I have written it down!! And as a " coincidence" a big of my life has been that of a wanderer, nomad, at heart and also in this world, outer and inner.
Disengaging with the self is just one step but we have taken millions of steps in the wrong direction and that has its own momentum. And this momentum makes it hard to take a step in a different direction. Imagine walking thousands of miles in one direction and then asked to reverse the direction and it becomes almost impossible. It is just taking one step backwards but the conditioning makes it very hard I think. Tolle looks very good in this suit.
It was a wonderful experience rising above the level of thinking I could be in this situation only when l am not busy or doing any thing But the moment l start studying thoughts came again 🤦 It's like losing control or losing myself maybe it's hard to do more than one job at a time Being alert and study😅
Haha, yes - that's it exactly. Thank you, Eckhart, for clarifying - Very Good! This now really helps.
Always more to learn.....everyday is a school day
