Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

I am starting from scratch, but I created a meetup group and have 10 or so already signed up and I created a facebook page and paid advertising to the St. Petersburg area and got 30 likes on the page. Between the two, the current "mailing list" is probably about 35 (some signed up to both). Right no...

Meetup Group - https://www.meetup.com/Saint-Petersburg-Nonduality-Satsang/ Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/StPetersburgSatsang We'll meet twice a month in St. Petersburg, FL in a private home (Eric's apartment)...I am thinking Sundays around 10 am (dates to be determined). The meetings will...

Hi all! Just wanted to make the update that I moved to Saint Petersburg, Florida. So if there are members in the Tampa Bay area that want to chat or meet, I am new to the neighborhood. I am also planning on hosting twice a month gatherings at my apartment and made a Facebook Page for this - https://...

@WW There is a difference between causation and purpose/meaning. I see no purpose or meaning in life...and none is needed. Nothing I say will convince one who is attached to purpose and meaning. I just tried to point at what it is like in different ways...to perhaps convey a possible way of seeing a...

@WW Mind is about thought which is mostly conditioned and is tied to a specific body. Purpose and meaning is something adults talk about in regards to work and getting things done, but if you ask a child "what is the purpose of play"...you will see a very confused child or maybe hear "to have fun" i...

On a Eckhart Tolle Youtube Video, he explain that we shouldn't wait from life to make us happy. No matter if we ajust form like we want, all form is changing and we can't control them, actually we can control the form only for a small laps of time. He say that life is supposed to be frustrating. He...

The thing that I think of as me, is a collection of thoughts and beliefs, but just because they can change, or have not always been there, does that really mean they aren't me? When there are no thoughts or beliefs...who are you? I am 8) Deeper still...follow the I to its source. What is before eve...

I feel at peace when thinking about now. But things are not happening as expected. So it is like being stuck in this moment that i do not want. Im so confused. I want to accept...but it is not what i want... I would like to let go off my desires...but it feels like im letting go what makes me feel ...

I have lived thorough periods of extended consciousness a few times in my life. It was a time of intense peace. I wish to make a permanent shift. This is what drives my thinking. I also can't help but think that now that I know the difference between presence and ego, to make a breakthrough I need ...

My problem is I cannot experience that Presence, that field, that calmness, that beautiful peaceful feeling.

Now you are stuck. You have made it some special experience other than what is here and now. And so you are future seeking, not present. You are looking for different content.

How have you been able to find peace in not having power to make the changes that are needed. What have you found to bring you peace? If I have the power to make change, I do what I can...leaving the results to God (so to speak). If I don't have the power to make change, I don't make myself miserab...

I realise this is an old topic, but I have the same question as original poster. You say that we should do things for the joy of it, such as trying to become a president. What is driving us to achieve goals and why we even should have goals and a 'journey' ? Are certain actions considered good, bec...

I recently discovered Discord and created a Nonduality & Enlightenment server. Right now there is one public voice chat room (we can add more depending on needs) and there is a general text chat (outside of Introduction)...but more can be added. I invite you to check out http://www.discord.gg/cWmF9x...

Yes...it is too forced...with too much thought and concern about thought. In fact, why even bother saying to yourself, "No I should be in the inner body"? You see...you said "no". That is resisting thought. I am not saying to say "no" to anything. Simply let it go and focus on the experience of now....
