Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Hi Charles, I hear what you are saying but the problem is you don't know what is behind Eckhart's behaviour. How do you know he is playing a role? That may be actually his natural expression, the expression Life has given him for the purpose Life is using him. Or he could be playing the role of a ve...

Sorry Lucy if I am guilty of jumping in quick here but, can I ask why you feel this way? I would question whether it really is beneficial to allow things to seep in. Do we have a choice? I have found there is no logic to this whatsoever. Sometimes you are just floored by a statement out of nowhere. ...

Do you think we can stop the "energy of life" from expressing in its own way? What if the "energy of life" is always expressing itself in absolutely everything - even when we think we are opposing it? It's a way of putting it. It is expressing as it should - or the only way it can because of the wa...

I don't. It is taken for granted. I have to accept the number 1 first or maths falls apart.

Yes seven. But when the thoughts themselves are leading to a sense of identity with an image, mind indentification is still apparent. As long as this is the case, suffering is still possible, or inevitable more likely. Yes, and when that image itself is identified as the ultimate thought, which all...

Nice post Jason. Notice any thinking which brings the story of the form which appears to be writing the post into play. I wonder who's going to write back to "me", I don't like what this person said to "me", ooh this will make them see that I'm enlightened. This part in particular is worth highlight...

Yeah, I would question who is choosing to play a role? If there is someone there choosing it can't be presence.

Jugu, Let's get real here. Of course we bring our past to every relationship and conversation, even when we are present. If we are truly present, we are not controlled by that past, but we are aware of it, we have learned from it, we have knowledge and experience from it, and we have a personality ...

To be able to know this where do you place yourself on that scale Tony?

Yes, who is this one who has an attitude towards life?

"Late For The Sky" by Jackson Browne First heard this song in the movie "Taxi Driver". It sounds like a love song but much of the lyrics hit a deeper level. The words had all been spoken and somehow the feeling still wasn't right And still we continued on through the night Tracing our steps from th...

Yes, it's certainly not an easy thing Juniper, and I suspect many are going to find this transition difficult if it does ever start happening on a wider scale. I now realise I've been going through this kundalini thing since I was 17 without knowing. It's only in the last 2 years, since the searchin...

7w, what is "actually happening" if thought "doesn't change a thing"? Nothing is happening! Just supposing we're arguing over something. You've got your view and I've got mine. Neither of us is really listening to the other. We're speaking and listening to our own ideas. This is what everyone is do...

There is only one Savior of mankind: Jesus. Others at most can be Teachers through personal experiences. This belief will keep you imprisoned for as long as you hold it. What do you know for yourself about Jesus other than what you've learnt? Your understanding of mind gives one two choices: shutti...

There is some truth to what sevenworlds writes. sevenworlds is this what you experienced first hand, or are you imitating, repeating what you have heard? Perhaps it is a little of both, I say that because there is a sense of dualism in your non dual speak. You see, if I have to keep repeating sorry...
