Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

I'm not sure if this will make any sense to you but i'll give it a shot. Can you see that the one that just wrote that post talking about itself is itself the little voice in the head, .... can you catch this one ? because this one is what is causing all the problems. Some call this the first 'I' th...

No need to contact your astral entities, just realize that in truth there is' no you'. This is what the great sages such as Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi have been saying all along. ... and when you come to this realization, you can then really enjoy your cup of coffee while your living y...

So, it looks to me that you have created an image of how a guru/teacher should behave and live their lives in order to take them seriously. Good luck with that.
Again, I say, its about the message and not the messenger.

My question is this, if he believes in what he preaches then why does he need to make so much money from it? Jesus and Buddha didn't charge for their services so why does ET? Hi xpansion, This is where many go wrong. Instead of following Eckhart's teachings (pointers), they focus on Eckhart, the pe...

Jack, I hope I won't offend you or any one else with this post. But I do feel compelled to say that if I was hearing voices (fictional and non-fictional) and seeing things as you describe I would be a little worried about myself. I can't make out if your posts are genuine cause for alarm or just a ...

I don't feel this sense of being ever present awareness. No matter how much I sit there and tell myself I am not this but without knowing anything else how can ever realise that I am not this? I see my body here, my mind thinks and engages with this world and this life so how can it not be me? .......

Welcome back home alex ! ...... to the home that has no steps and to where no exhaustion is also found .

Well Jack, that's because, in truth, it has nothing to do with Divine Spirit ! ... but I must say, it does look impressive.

Yes, ..... we use our mind to know the mind to get beyond the mind.

I recently had been listening too closely to this mind chatter. Until I took a breather and realized the mind may always try to come in the back door, until the momentum of conditioning starts to wind down. The freedom lies in the knowing that this mind chatter is not who I am and I can give it att...

Beautiful !
This is what Mooji meant when he said " Don't let the mind see through your eyes ".

Surrendering to 'what is' is a good place to start but to surrender 'the one that is doing the surrendering' is a great place to finish. This is the final obstacle.

So going into this idea of the dream, in our dream we also have a body (a 'dreamed body') which moves around, right ? what would be the point to try to discover the nature of the dreamer by examining the structure of the brain of our dreamed body ? We can never find the dreamer in any dreamed form,...

So, I guess its safe to say that you choose option "remove yourself from the situation ".

Hi Ashley, I'm not trying to be a bully here but I also agree with what Clouded, Enlightened2b and Phil2 had to say in their last post on this thread. I think they were sincere in their response and what they said can help you instead of thinking that they are picking on you. On February 17,2011 you...
