Watch now as Eckhart discusses: • How to stop confusing what someone says or does with who they are in their deepest nature • The modus operandi of the collective ego• How to break free from identification with thought patterns in the mind and the chaos that creates • Realizing yourself as Presence—the light of consciousness
What are the origins of unhappiness? Is it the things that happen “to us” that get us so angry, depressed, or upset in countless ways? Or is there something deeper going on?
“When the ego weeps for what it has lost, the spirit rejoices for what it has found.” This is the profound truth discussed by Eckhart Tolle in this perspective-shifting video session.
There’s nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself on a personal level—learning more effective ways to communicate, or taking care of your body, for example. There is no approach to self-improvement that will prevent the arising of challenges. Here, the bestselling author of The Power of Now and A New Earth discusses how you can “enjoy the dance” of the activities and pursuits you engage in your life without seeking absolute and unending fulfillment through any of these endeavors.
When the only reality one recognizes is based solely on what’s going on between the ears, that individual is what Eckhart calls “spiritually asleep.” Discover central differences between conventional awareness and the deeper awareness we access when we step out of the stream of thinking in the mind.
You may have noticed that life can be challenging. Eckhart discusses the inevitability of difficulties and obstacles on your path—and how to respond consciously instead of reacting out of habit or ego.
Eckhart Tolle often cites the insights contained in the spiritual text A Course in Miracles. “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
The ego is a clever entity, and can use any situation to sustain itself and strengthen its hold over us. Eckhart discusses how our interpersonal grievances and resentments can cloud our view of reality, why we often pursue forgiveness on only a superficial level, and how our rediscovery of the sacredness of all of life is a vital step in the evolution of human consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle teaches that when we are completely identified with our thoughts, feelings, and our perceived failings in the recent or distant past, life can begin to feel utterly pointless and perpetually dissatisfying. In this video, join Eckhart as he points us toward the discovery of a deeper, indestructible sense of identity: our essential nature as consciousness itself.
Manifestation—or bringing physical expression to our creative insights and ideas—is happening all the time. Yet as Eckhart Tolle teaches, this can unfold in two ways. The first approach is based in ego—in “getting.” The second is inspired by Presence and the motivation to give.
Have you ever been moved by an unexpected desire to create and offer to the world something truly original? Eckhart compares and contrasts the human desire to create, with the way the universe manifests the multiplicity of forms seen and unseen.
Every desire is at its core a desire for divine connection and transcendence of the false self or ego. Eckhart talks about an empowering perspective on the secret to lasting fulfillment and satisfaction in life.
After you awaken spiritually, teaches Eckhart Tolle, you may still occasionally find yourself being drawn into old habits and unconscious reactivity and resistance. How can you tell? “You’ll begin to suffer.’
Endlessly chasing after the things and stuff we think will bring us lasting fulfillment is a recipe for a miserable life, teaches Eckhart Tolle. Watch now as Eckhart reviews “living in balance with form” through the integration of the Being dimension, or Presence.
How can we stop the increasing patterns of havoc and suffering in our world? In this video, Eckhart reviews the idea of “conscious manifestation.”
Life becomes dreary when our challenges seem to have absolutely no point or purpose. Eckhart Tolle discusses how from both a biological and a spiritual perspective, there is no growth and evolution without moving through challenges.
When something potentially “negative” happens in our lives, there is a critically important distinction you must make in order to avoid creating “drama” and unnecessary suffering. Eckhart helps us separate the objective reality of a situation or circumstance from the way we choose to respond to it.
The “difficult times” that every generation will experience are precisely when the arising of wisdom is most likely to happen. For anyone in the middle of a challenging situation—or looking to be better prepared for the next inevitable hurdle on your path, listen to Eckhart explain: ▪️Why we don’t usually grow when we’re in our comfort zones ▪️Why the state of consciousness with which you meet a challenge is what’s most important ▪️How to create serenity and space amid situations and conditions the ego says are “bad” ▪️Interpersonal drama—how it starts, and how to prevent it
You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “Do what you enjoy, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” The problem, according to Eckhart Tolle, isn’t with our work—it’s the challenge of being Present when you’re deeply immersed in “doing” mode.
When we use the term “spiritual awakening,” what do we actually mean? What are we awakening from? And what are we awakening to? In this video, join bestselling author and renowned teacher Eckhart Tolle for a discussion of spiritual awakening as the process of “breaking free from identification with form.” In other words, stepping out of compulsive thinking and the mental narrative of “the little me.”
It may sound paradoxical, yet it is entirely possible for you to know something without having to think about it. In this video with bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, discover what he calls “nonconceptual intelligence,” or the view of “pure awareness” unfiltered by the stream of thoughts in our minds.
How do you usually respond to the challenges in your life? When we find ourselves in the middle of a difficult situation, the last thing we want to hear is that we should be grateful for the growth opportunity. Yet as Eckhart Tolle explains in this video, at a higher level, even our greatest trials have the potential to spark the awakening of consciousness and illuminate the pathway out of suffering.
If you want to help change the world, teaches Eckhart Tolle, you cannot overlook the importance of self-awareness. “Whenever awareness disappears,” explains Eckhart, “whatever the mind does sooner or later becomes a form of insanity.”
Beneath the noisy surface phenomena of our lives, teaches Eckhart Tolle, lies an unshakable stillness that is always accessible in the present moment. This stillness is the essence of who you are. And when you touch this stillness within, he explains, you open the doorway to a life without the burden of mind-made suffering.
Every moment of our lives, we are surrounded by the miracles of the universe. Yet if you are trapped in unconscious thinking, you’re likely to overlook the beauty and “”aliveness”” of nature in its myriad forms, animate and inanimate. In this video with bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, you’re invited to practice giving attention to your surroundings without the interference of conceptual thinking, analysis, judgment, and so on.
“When a sufficient number of humans have gone through this incredible shift in consciousness, the world that they create will look very different from the world that is created by humans who are completely identified with thinking.” So says Eckhart Tolle in this inspiring video sharing his vision of the next stage in human evolution.
In this teaching, Eckhart points you toward the realization of “the inner space of consciousness,” the formless dimension within you that is equally as limitless as the universe itself. Looking at a starry sky often instills a sense of wonder. Yet more awe-inspiring than the infinite number of stars, explains Eckhart Tolle, is the vastness of space holding each and every one of them. And you are an inseparable part of that timeless expanse.
When we learn how to quiet our noisy minds, teaches Eckhart Tolle, we take the first step toward Presence—not as a mental concept, but as a direct, firsthand realization that is always available in the here and now. In this video, join Eckhart for his guidance in the practice of simply sitting quietly, taking in your surroundings without the need for the mind to step in and comment on your experience and whatever you’re perceiving through your physical senses.
Relationships based in the ego, or what Eckhart Tolle calls “the identification with the mind-made sense of self,” are contaminated by unconscious judgments, feelings of superiority (or the opposite), and any number of unpleasant characteristics. In this video, Eckhart reveals a much more positive and fulfilling way of relating to the people in your life: connecting from the depths of Presence, free from judgments, labels, opinions, and a strictly transactional perspective.
Across the world’s spiritual traditions, our ordinary, everyday state of mind has been equated to being physically asleep—thus we call the shift in consciousness from a thought-based sense of identity to the discovery of a much deeper essence the process of spiritual “awakening.” In this video, Eckhart Tolle describes how this shift opens us to an entirely novel experience of the world around us.
