Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

There's a lot of conspiracy about bad things happening in 2012. I personally think that this is the year that consciousness will be at it's peak and egoic society will shatter from it's pure light. What do you guys thing?

To fulfill the wishes of universal consciousness of course! Let me be the vessel and it grab the tiller. Full speed ahead

Hey guys :D My name is Geoff and I'm from Huntsville Ontario. I've recently discovered the truth of presence and the tyranny of ego not too long ago. I've decided to dedicate my life in the pursuit of the simple joy of being. I look forward to sharing with all of you guys! :wink: Wish me good luck, ...

Sweet movie. It's funny, all the Waponis are so hypocritical. They worship that volcanoe so much and yet when it comes time for just one of them to go ahead and jump right into that volcanoe they all chicken out. It was that gosh darn orange soda. What's also kind of funny is that when Joe ends up j...

Can you please make clear what you are trying to get at? I guess I'm trying to challenge the purpose of this site, for good or for worst. If it's all true than it should be able to withstand a little jostling. Every post you make here seems to contain the basic message that spirituality sucks Yeah,...

I can't agree with what "you're" ( = "you are") saying, because I don't understand what you're saying. I'm sure you could have used your tinker to figure out what I was trying to say, but if you really can't see past the spelling mistakes: When you act on an angry impulse, you're not referring to o...

i'll not worry about things. Right now. The philosophy of most seekers! Put the important details aside until later. I encourage you to read "Toward a Psychology of Awakening" by John Welwood, PhD. His third section is on relationships and enlightenment - it is a rare, informed commentary. No more ...

look with Me from this High Place. With the same eye that beheld the axe now view the Kingdom! Look to the East. The sun has risen! where morning dew glistens. North! South! All you see here, as far as you envision here, is the Kingdom I give you today! Now, lift up your eye and see the simple spar...

It doesn't take that long to become enlightened

Where does such a truth come from ?

It doesn't take long. It doesn't take any time at all. It's just one step, that's it. Where's this tidbit coming from?

Me, myself. My experience. My TRUE experience.

but to remain in it permanently takes time Time doesn't exist. What is your excuse? because of the strength of the mental structure already present up That mental structure dosn't exist either. It's a phantom, a flicker of a candle, a flash of lightning in the summer sky, a bauble in a stream. It's...

If your first instinct is to hit someone your angry at, technically your being more present. "you're" angry at "you're" being more present Why would the instinct to hit someone imply "more" presence? Your not referring to out of the moment morality. Your completely responding to your "in-the-moment...

. For example, some may argue that "acceptance" is a beautiful way to live; Others may say that acceptance is apathetic and nihilistic. Both are concepts; neither is experience. When Tolle says external forms don't matter, some minds take that as the freedom to play. Others take that as a lack of m...

I'm also angry because people who live in ignorance still continue to advocate Tolle's message regardless of weather they are even enlightened or not. Better said, they continue to spread this stuff even though they can't speak from an enlightened perspective. How backward?

Because of the lies. They're not necessarily intentional lies, but they're lies nonetheless. Tolle's version of reality couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm so resentful because I've completely ruined my life in the search of perfect bliss and peace. It's all lies. Thats why I'm angry.
