This is the answer to the old question “why do bad things happen to good people”. Thank you ET! 💕
I definitely know on an intellectual level that challenges are necessary for growth in all aspects of life. The difficulty is being conscious when challenges arise. I'm sure that's true for many of us. Even being conscious is a challenge in itself. May we all get better and better at it. Thanks so much, Eckhart. ☺️💜

@@obscurum6 it seems that you haven’t listened to enough of his teachings. To give up in this context means to surrender and to give up thinking about the pain. If you concentrate on the now, you can forget about yesterday and tomorrow for a while. And the present moment is normally very pleasant. Even if it’s not pleasant, you can try to accept it. Nevertheless, life is challenging.

And the gratest part of it all is when we are truly lost during a challenge and as a sudden magic moment we perceive ourselves- "ahh, right... I forgot to be aware, to pay attention...now I see it". Unfortunately it happens mostly when one is almost going insane, but it does! And it's wonderful, empowering. We can walk through fire. We once more know we can go way beyond.

Thank you for this very clear reminder and the connection you have made to physical challenges. Physical, psychological challenges, they ultimately lead to our essence. And help to become more conscious. Conscious of the body we live in ,conscious of the thoughts that run through the mind, conscious of the emotions which are always connected to thoughts and body, conscious of the essence, the stillness underneath everything. Thank you!❤
15:52 "When you listen to a very unconscious person, you listen to the themes that run through them,and their narrative, are blaming, complaining. It's always, "It's them. Him. Her. Them." All the situations, all the places." That is my ex-boss and ex-friend. They always spread negative energy.
I thank Mr. Tolle. His comments are helpful. Also he seems so honest, sincere, caring, knowledgeable and more. (I am in kindergarten but old).
How many times in my life I have observed that after fulfilling a certain goal or a certain task I feel so much satisfied,elevated and brimming with joy and enthusiasm.
Eckhart is deep and humorous, beautiful combination!

I remember somewhere reading about trees being grown in a very large greenhouse. They flourished and got really tall. Then one day they just fell over and died. Seems without the wind blowing them the roots never grew strong enough to support them. I think about this whenever I'm facing a stormy day.

I have been experiencing many challenges lately. Mentally, physically, and listening to your videos as I fall asleep brings me happiness. I have been so unhappy for years altho I seemingly have the perfect life. I am beginning to accept it as you have said . Once you accept it and don't dwell on it so much, it just is what it is. Its life and it isn't going to change so mise well live it . Thank you.

Energy can manifest in many forms, such as physical strengths or consciousness. You challenge yourself to create new experiences. If you don't challenge yourself, life will challenge you. When you challenge yourself, it could be conscious creation, or unconscious creation (sufferings caused by conditional mind). You are a significant contributing factor to reactivity. Thanks Eckhart. 5 August 2022.🐬🐬🐬🦋🦋🦋
I hear you, if things don't get difficult I won't grow. I can hear within the voice of consciousness when I need guidance, which is always. 🤗

The best state I have ever been in is when I am aware of being aware. I am the consciousness that observes and experiences the world and I feel I am in the world but not of it. It is absolutely perfect. But I am not able to remain in that state all day long at this point. It is a bit absurd since it is what I really and already am... 🤔

Am I the only one that when I see Eckhart Tolle, I remember my first books as a child: " Tintin sur la lune, and Tintin au Tibet." They look the same to me. Tintin was my hero and Eckhart Tolle is still now since I saw his book "The power of Now" when I was waiting in line to the cash register to pay for other stuf I got. I went to the book like my life dependent on it, I had to get it. I start to read it while I went back to the end of the line and didn't mind. Eckhart Tolle and Tintin looks alike to me in every way I look at them. Same beautiful face.🙂

As I am listening to Eckhart Tolle people with leaf blowers are moving what makes autumn beautiful to a "better" location. Two of them around my house. And I want them moved.. like they are moving the leafs. And I smile. We exist for the sole purpose of making thing "better", moving things around to fit a temporary need. This is why we suffer. It is the meaning of Karma, the suffering I bring upon myself. The way out is chosing not to, but instead taking a moment realising I am only the top of the iceberg and nothing is ever out of place and get a head phone, so I can listen while I do my chores.. Headphones: your ticket out of the wheel of samsara.
