Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Thank you. As I've always thought, enlightenment (being aware of one's consciousness, living in the realm of consiousness all the time, using it) is not available to everybody, at least not in the same degree. Some people have easier "access", some more difficult, and some none at all :( . Perhaps t...

In A New Earth Eckhart says that consciousness enters this realm through the human brain. Then he asserts: "When the brain gets damaged, it does not mean you lose consciousness. It means consciousness can no longer use that form to enter this dimension". He continues by saying that consciousness IS ...

Thank you Kiki, Web, Heidi and Suraj. When I read or listen to descriptions of how different people experienced the awakened state, it seems to me that I've already had many such beautiful moments, hard to describe but quite similar to theirs. And still I don't feel awakened :D, it's difficult for m...

I'd love to not be but sometimes I realize that I'm beginning to be obsessed by my ego. Something arises, a feeling or thought, and I automatically recognize it: oh, it's again my ego. And the question, probably posed several times on this forum, for which I'm sorry but was too impatient to spot the...

Truth-struck, truth-revelation...? it would be much easier for me to think of a Polish name .

Thank you Web. Please, what do you mean by: " that which created them did so out of His/Her/Its very own being"?

It is said that we know all the answers. And I know that STORIES DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, it's all content. And probably it's my ego/mind again asking questions. But still, why everyone has so very different ego/mind issues, different lessons to learn or DROP? And a naiive one last question. Animals a...

It has been all a fantastic reading, food for thought and reralization and improvement and relaxation in the now... Yes, there are times, when this fear is very, very strong but there is also so much space (strong as well) around it that I AM very peaceful and even joyous sometimes, being in fear (o...

I haven't read all the answers to your question so maybe it was already mentioned: FEAR. It probably results from the mind's rejection of the world as it IS. Tremendous difficulty in accepting the way things ARE - inside and ouside. It feels as if it was almost biological (brain functioning in a cer...

"Webpage has expired" today again...

I didn't get any mail about the forum, but I look into it often enough, no problem then

"Spiritual work" can in fact heal many of our physical illnesses, better than any medical treatment alone.
Funny, but one of the most exquisite moments of Presence happened to me during the peak of an excruciating headache

Indeed, Kiki's posts are the ones which I always print out, read, and re-read again and again. thank you Kiki!
It doesn't matter much, but from the beginning until now I've been sure that Kiki is a woman

Hello WhoAmI and Yves, Despite lots of pain (emotional and physical) I suffer LESS. When from time to time I become unconscious and let my ego dictate my thoughts and actions, I get out of the state of unconscious (or conscious) suffering much quicker than three months ago. Generally, I'm more peace...
