Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Great OP Kungwu I especially liked the more recent sharing quote "“The individual has cosmic significance because it is the vehicle through which reality can become conscious of itself in its relative, immanent expression in time and space, as well as having the potential to be a living presence of ...

Thanks for sharing RT, fascinating excerpts. My dad suffered progressive Alzheimer's disease, and my mum now goes in and out of dementia, so it's a known thing / experience from the other side of it for me. That what remains of profound (selfless) love, and music (and warning sensing) without any of...

This is what I've learned from ET: If you are making an enemy, an obstacle, or a means to an end of a person, thing or situation then look around, you are creating suffering for yourself and others. Awareness brings us out of suffering because we are in the conscious modes of being - acceptance, enj...

I enjoyed your post E2B :D A spectator? (shakes head gently) I hope not. You both know I live 'here' in the little flawed oh so humanly limited mind and body, but, with the memory of the 'larger focus' (nice term E2B). Sh*t if there's supposed to be some 'purpose' outside of awareness and presence, ...

ww said: Just some fun considerations. :lol: am still trying to picture your head as a pretzel webby :lol: Answering a question with a question, is not answering the question, but deflecting. :wink: I'd agree that 'caring' is an equal to everything else part / expression within the all. But like ev...

Her 10 spiritual lessons are in this article. https://www.watkinsmagazine.com/10-spiritual-lessons-amoda While I do hear shades of Adya, Eckhart, Jac O'Keeffe, Gary Weber, Mooji, and kiki here, .. the lessons in this article, maybe it's just me, sounds like all of them and more - is it all, has it a...

:lol: turiya Webby said: If one cannot waste time, can they waste opportunity? Are some experiences more valuable than others toward the evolution of consciousness? The question of 'waste' then, if it is at all possible, must be related to the ability to choose. hmm we're getting very close to that ...

webby said: I still feel twinges of concern of whether I'm wasting time in some of the things I do. But then for all I know, the things I 'waste time' in may be the most important things I do. Spiritual purpose is strange indeed. Interesting sharing Webby, made me ponder too. Is it really possible ...

Yum yum yum nice to be back with you all :) So many ideas > potentials ...what shall I choose LOL!! Firstly, Tolle related - sort of - if you go back to all those myriad pathways in the neuron - universe images there is no way it can be planned (imho) we'd all just be programmed actors on a stage an...

How do I deal with this feeling of guilt? be grateful for it teaching you that there are better ways of being, and better choices to make going forward. Should I tell people I have lied to cover up my own mistakes? far better to just be who you are in this moment, folks will figure it out themselve...

Eckhart and Kim boogieing down: https://youtu.be/nvUfZgEjjgg hahaha! thank you turiya - you made my day!!! ..... Jukai said: I think all the suffering has beaten the enthusiasm out of him. You can hear it in his voice - he's got no vitality left. He likes to say that, sitting in presence, he's full...

by aquarius123esoteric » Sun Mar 29, 2009 7:46 am Understanding comes to us as a gift from our Highest or God Self, i.e. the small earthly self can only find it with the help of its Highest Self. and the 'Highest or God Self' can only find it with the help of the 'small earthly self'. In terms of T...

Both of those lives are equally valuable, yes. (Although the Mind recoils at that statement!.... "What the hell is the value of the life of a mass murderer??!!") Well... from the "horrific" to the "beatific" (and everything in between), all life experiences are valuable because all are necessary to...

It's interesting that it takes us a while to figure out that sometimes we need to tune in to where we are in this moment, rather than where we want to be. That's a great lesson to learn from the mighty ocean. But how often we struggle and fight - even with life itself before we realise it.

my experience trying to stay present with someone who isn't.

If one is trying... that is different to being.
If one is comparing, then one isn't present with...
They have separated them self from what is.

So the difficulty then is letting go and letting be.
