Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

this one impressed me.. especially the end

Is it the same for you that it's hard to concentate when you've had a drink? Letting go of focus, concentration, and being aware of that fact can be joyful. It's weird but I feel like I can concentrate myself really good in this state. For example i was lying in bed and i saw my mind trying to esca...

hello, First of all, thanks for this great community/resource! Although I have to admit I'm only at the beginning of my 'journey', i found alot of answers here. I'm definatly 'working' on it. Since i started living consciously my life has changed. I feel alot of peace and i basicly can spend my days...

Thank you all. These replies were really helpful and I feel alot better then before. I am able to talk to people as usual. still if I pay close attention to myself i feel tension when I talk to someone. I found this journal by An Eternal Now, and I'm going to read it. http://www.box.net/shared/3verp...

Hello there, I've been studying ET's books for the past few months now and it really helped me get over my social anxiety. Until yesterday.. All of a sudden I can't look strangers in the eyes anymore, I cant even smile properly! I've had this like a half year ago but i never felt it this strong. Whe...

Excuse me for my late reply. I've had a busy time and my weekend brought me alot of stress. Here is my journal concerning this weekend: I hope you have answers to some elements/questions.. Weekend is the most difficult time of my week. Not due to being busy, but due to the incredible pressure I get ...

Since I don't have time to sign into Skype because I'm not home yet, I just wanted to put an update here. Can you say at what times you are usually online? (timezones.. :P ) I started reading A New Earth today. When I red the part about Eckhart telling how he realised his mind was way too serious, a...

I remember Eckhart mentioning taking LSD. He said this is not what presence is like at all. The LSD enhances sensory perception, which can also lead to a drug induced cessation of thinking, but that's not really what dis identifying is about. No but I red somewhere the 'effect' was very similar, on...

OK I feel like I understand what you are saying about presence. But I also red something about some kind of 'LSD effect' Eckhart Tolle experiences. Is this due to his fully dis identifying with his ego? I understand that I have to accept all these repressed emotions but what is the best way to start...

Lightner, allow me to hit you up with some goofy zen Koan's: Who is it who feels the tension? Is the awareness of the tension...tense? Who is it who wants to deepen presence? If you deepen presence, what will that be like exactly? If you were deeply present, could you not forgive yourself for being...

Hey Lightner. What up? Difficulty with eye contact typically indicates a fear of intimacy, likely stemming from an unresolved emotional issue. Thank you for replying. Yes I think it had something to do with intimacy. This pain is now gone and i am really happy for that. However sometimes I experien...

hello there I will introduce myself shortly: Im a 18 years old men who discovered The Power of Now around 1 year ago and red it. After reading it i started being present and i felt awesome. Before i red this book i had a few huge issues with myself. For example when i was in a conversation i couldnt...
