Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Hi Jen, Great to hear from you! I hope all is well with you. Sorry to hear about your parents. But you make some great points using their perspective. I had similar thoughts to yours when I heard the piece. That love and music are timeless or beyond time so to speak was lovely to hear. But what stru...

Thanks for posting! Very interesting.
Can you elaborate on what he meant by "conjoining of opposites". Thanks, rt

I heard this incredible clip on the radio today. It's about a person who has the most severe documented case of amnesia. He forgets everything in the blink of an eye. That is, he cannot remember what has just happened from moment to moment. He is literally always 'in the now'. He has no concept of t...

Wonderful discussion and Q&A between Deepak Chopra and Swami Sarvapriyananda on the nature of reality, Vedanta, suffering etc..

Great answer, Kiki!

That's great news! Thanks Eric, as always, for all that you do to keep this forum in business.

Hi, I know there are fans of Ramana Maharishi here on the forum and of Swami Sarvpriyananada. So I thought I would post this excellent talk on Advaita Vedanta that the Swami gives at the Ramana Ashram in Jamaica, New York. Brilliant stuff! Highly recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8m8ac_aB...

Thanks everyone! One of the fruits of self realization is inner peace or release from suffering (to different degrees). So its useful to have some barometer of progress in one's spiritual practice. For me, spiritual practice has provided me with many tools to navigate the vagaries of samsara. And pr...

So true!

For me, these days a mantra seems to do the trick. It stops recursive thinking and places the focus on the self (presence).

Excellent news! Hang in there and keep taking those meds. Enjoy the diamonds too

I enjoyed reading this. Swami Sivananda was a great sage and yogi. Barometer of Spiritual Progress By Sri Swami Sivananda Here is an infallible barometer to find out the degree of your spiritual progress. How would you feel, if: Your clean hands or best clothes are stained. You stumbled down or comm...

Welcome, Satsangfriend. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Your English is very good! Love the picture as well.

Good question and nice discussion so far! For me oneness is the understanding that there are no two things here. That is, by definition, nothing that exists can be separate from existence (or awareness). So its not that you and I are ‘one’—rather that neither of us is separate from the awareness whi...

Yes that does sound like more than hormones. Glad you saw that and chose to get treatment. Be watchful of any depression that may be lurking around the corner too.
