Eckhart Tolle Discussion Community

Jen, Thanks for your response. Yes, I was suspecting that the reason your books are not out there yet might have something to do with this. You mentioned previously that you needed to gain some more confidence. I understand that completely. Same for me, too. I want to share two more things that cros...

Jen, Thanks for sharing the links . I have come across the vulnerability video before. But I didn’t know about the text about her reaction to her TEDx video. This vulnerability thing is a big problem for me, too. What I found amazing was how the universe coaxed me along the way to share. The first t...

lost wrote : Without sounding rude, the light bulb thing sounds a bit 'far fetched'. And the plants dieing when you radiate negative energy. That's not to say I don't believe you but I guess until something that obvious happens to me then it's difficult to believe. Perhaps you were lucky that the U...

lost, since you seem to struggle with decision making: That was a huge problem for me, too. But gradually I came to see the following : when I was in inner peace, then I would be able to access guidance in some form. Either as inner voiceless voice. Or as a dream. Or as a pattern of events that had ...

Hi, I find it hard to discuss these topics theoretically. Therefore, I like to share some stories of actual application. Here is my experience with the issue of choice or no choice: I was able to choose the anger of ego or inner peace. When in anger, light bulbs would burn out. When in peace, little...

Yes, Alex , this is indeed what it comes down to. This end of a personal me is inherent in the shift of the identity. And from concepts in comes down to the nitty-gritty real tangible everyday stuff. I define myself as a mother to my children . In my head, the concept of a good mother is that I have...

Thanks for sharing this.
This is the second time that this video clip shows up for me within one week.
Looks like one of those broad hints by the universe ...

Hi , I can relate to that. I was always afraid of how things would turn out. And my coping strategy was not so much excessive worrying , but much more excessive planning. How that has changed? Well, I was weaned in baby steps from this control habit. I forgot little things. And the universe showed m...

Thanks for the link, Manyana. Very useful.

Hi George, Disturbing Situations when something disturbing happens to me and I feel anger rising, then I try to become quiet inside. That means my first choice is not for a positive thought but for inner peace. Then, from this inner peace I can try to get access to another perspective on the disturb...

Jen wrote ...That book is still on its way Kafi - the 'universe' side tracked me :wink: (and if I'm honest, I had to grow some more faith and there was another one that wanted to be born before it :wink: ) I have another one that will be out before it, about the journey of grief in awareness. Thank...

Ashley, thanks for sharing about the anxiety disorder. That is very helpful for me at the moment. I find that the spiritual path at a certain point requires to let go of fear. At the moment, I feel that I am pushed to do exactly that : putting myself into situations that elicit fear - only to find o...

xpansion, I hear your frustration and am sorry that I could not explain it clearer. I will try again. The inward look is very simple. The simplest presentation I can think of is here http://www.justonelook.org/ on the video. Before I was able to do this inward look, there was some preparation for me...
