We are the source, having a human experience. When you insert "a being", or even "a spiritual being" or "a soul" in that phrase, it implies some experience of separation or identification/ego.

Spiritual beings do not suffer even though incarnated in a body, like Krishna, Jesus, Babaji, etc. Our essence is pure Consciousness k or Spirit, however , we (the vast majority of earthlings), are unconscious dysfunctional human beings. 😮

Right you are! Pure love. Light. Consciousness. Being-ness devoid of Form. Our very existence here is a manifestation of a thought, a desire to experience a form-based reality. But once our journey through Form ends, we revert to our original Formlessness. In essence, we need not exist in order to BE, meaning that our eternal Being-ness is not dependent upon assumption of any form.

I think it is because we expect it to be something miraculous and sudden. We will get there one day. Just do not give up on spreading love towards others.♥️

The end part where Eckhart talks with his distinct sweet, lightly trembling yet so powerful and caring voice in such a beautiful background music - my tear flows down my cheeks and I’m filled with a peaceful presence...

Gosh I don’t know what I would do if these spiritual teachings weren’t so accessible. They bring such peace to my soul

I would even say that those secondary satisfactions end up being all the sweeter when you apply presence to the activities involved with them...it is much easier to get distracted but you enjoy those moments in more totality when you aren't chattering away in your mind all the while. Easy in concept, fun to master!

U are a wonderfull person. When I first found u, I was taking drugs, and imagined myself to be very awake and I thought I was really bringing the spirit across to people. I was so wrong.... I was ego tripping my entire life basicly before I discovered u, Ram Dass and Alan Watts. I'm just so grateful that u guys showed me there was something real to strive for in life. I'm far away from beeing at service to everyone but at least I really try to bring the spirit into everyday life now. Thank u for pointing out the way to me, I'm glad I can call u my spirit buddy lol. U do so much good to the world, especially right now, when I feel hopeless I listen to ur calming words and it always reminds me to get away from my drama and to see the big picture.

I feel like the last few seconds when you made sounds of her crying, was coming from your ego. There was something that made me think for a few seconds. We will never be able nor should we, or could we, get rid of our ego, because it has a physical location in our brain. But we always try our best to control it. And you too are only human, Tolle. With that being said, your videos and audiobooks and books and teachings have helped me a great deal to deal with my own ego, with sadness and overall irritation. And I thank you for that. I love your KZread channel. Always looking forward from new content. Very soothing for the mind. Thank you.

I'm doing better and better at self-soothing these days, my living conditions are bothersome at times still. However, I'm intensely focused on how to move through the moments of shame, blame, guilt, resentment and discontent... let them come up and pass, so I can feel free from the "tortured artist" image. Replacing that old self with the conscious self as often as possible. It has been really fun at times learning how to control my mind and let go of outcomes, while I prepare for my future. I'm super appreciative of the support from this corner of the internet. We love ya, E.T.

Ah, yes... Presence... Its an answer to all questions😇

It is absolutely amazing to me that you used the sea view/wall view metaphor in this video. I live in a trailer park and before I got to the part where you talked about the view of the sea or the view of a brick wall, I paused the video and looked out the window, into the trailer park where I reside, and practiced presence for a brief moment. Then I thought, "Yes, this is ok, but I would much rather have a view of the ocean. Wouldn't this moment of presence be much nicer if I were overlooking the sea." And that is what all of us really are working for. We want that view of the sea from our living room window, but it's very expensive so we have to compete with each other, which brings disharmony into our lives.

When you see the sea all the time you stop noticing the view - It becomes normal. Most people living at the coast can't even appreciate it. When you don't have it and only get it occasionally it is much more valuable. It's like with everything else: "too much of a good thing..."

This video was a pleasant surprise, seeing Eckhart so cheerful and animated!!

So the wrong hotel room is but an invitation to enter the room of Presence.

I am not enlightened as yet but I have been practicing letting go as Eckhart speaks about for awhile. I am not always good at it immediately but usually relax into it at some point. Since I have been ordering and getting home grocery delivery during the Pandemic I have pretty much been able to let it go if I don't receive the specific item I ordered or it is not available etc. I know others who complain about the risk of shopping in the stores but won't order delivery because they can't always get exactly what they want. They will risk contracting a deadly virus just to get a specific item. I find this delivery thing to be a good spiritual practice. I also deeply appreciate that others are taking the risk for me. I should add that my husband and I are both way over sixty, no longer own a car, and he has chronic illnesses and is at high risk. I have pondered all this deeply. If everyone ordered then only delivery shoppers would be in stores and could mask and more effectively social distance plus they would be earning a living. I know it won't be this way but I just give them five stars and stay fairly content with what I receive. I encourage you to try it if you haven't already.♥️

Mr Eckhart Master you don't know but I have always to thank you: you saved my life with your writings. THANKS THANKS THANKS
