Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Hi gosp. You are obviously a very empathetic person, and that needs careful attention - what is yours, what is not, where are the boundaries? I'm glad to hear you are reading more and opening up to your own learning experiences. My question would be, I feel I have a positive effect on her, I mean ou...

It's a bit tricky when we don't have examples (for me) but I'll scattergun thoughts and see if anything is relevant. When one is creating unnecessary suffering for self and others, cause and effect are entangled. If ego is the cause the effect spirals at that level of awareness, making as ET says en...

Thanks for sharing that video I will finish watching it later. At the very beginning of it, the tiny percentage of our universe that is matter that is somewhat known to us, (4%), compared to and along with, the higher percent and growing dark matter and dark energy, is core in understanding how prec...

I know the ego comes into play in order to control, but could this be purely based on hormones/neurotransmitters/nutrients (I’ll call these body chemicals for short)? I understand that both could occur in conjunction, however, is it possible for ego to not be present under the control of body chemi...

Great questions, great response Webby :) WW said: The word appreciate itself means to grow in value. But in more practical terms it is the closest thing I have found to the expression of unconditional love - which is the heart of Source Being. Not that it's possible to stay in appreciation at all ti...

Hi gosp, I'm confused - how can you be 100% with someone who - "I don't know her exact place and name"? All you can do is be aware of how you are, and what you are triggering and experiencing fear about, and there are many examples in your post. Who will you be if she takes her own life? - you will ...

SalomeDH said:Having said that, I've come across some places where ET talks about there being a purpose that the universe wants for me and that I'm meant to manifest something for the universe. It is possible the energies in your interpretation - what you associate those words to has overlaid your ...

Andy said: Tolle answered a question in a recorded seminar from a person who "saw dead people," and responded that some egoic entity does survive the death of the body. Needless to say, this would be a topic for a different thread. Sounds like my sort of a topic :wink: But, why not here - the notio...

Not much Fore - how are you doing?

Andy said: Like Popeye, I am what I am today, and will perhaps be slightly different tomorrow. Yes yes yes!! So, before we were aware of dark matter, did it exist? Yes yes yes!! --- we just didn't have a name for it I love re-reading books that had an impact. Favourites on the journey seem to revea...

Take care Webby xx Paul, I'm not sure if I should wade into this conversation. Webby is doing a great job with your queries. I've had the nde experience and spent decades since trying to find the words for it, recognising wisdoms that have filtered down with the essence of truth, and where some 'mis...

Interesting topic and question guy struggles. On anger, my favourite understanding and explanation of it comes from Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' work on natural emotions (mostly in Death is of Vital Importance). She says, natural anger is the intuition and displeasing sensation that arise in response t...

Postscript to my above post about just be it: I have a local bus stop, and sometimes it's a little like the mechanic shop / petrol/gas station in the Peaceful Warrior story. The main character, like in the Peaceful Warrior story is an older man who seems humbly inconsequential, somewhat cranky at ti...

Hi E2B nice to hear from you. Yet, If no choice is truly wrong...and literally just leads to a different experience (which my heart tells me is absolutely the truth)......then what then to make of......even HAVING the choice to choose between love and compassion and not love? If love and compassion ...
