Eckhart Tolle often teaches about how your sense perceptions provide you with an immediate opening into the depths of the present moment. However, for most of us, we first need to become more keenly aware of whatever it is that we’re actually seeing, hearing, tasting, and so on.
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.
Eckhart Tolle tells us that the universe is continually evolving, along with all of the life forms within it, in response to a profound impulse toward a greater expression of consciousness. In this video, Eckhart explores how you can sense this impulse within yourself, align with its vast power, and become a “bringer of the light of consciousness” into this world.
Eckhart Tolle has an intriguing question for you: who (or what) are you without reference to your personal history? In this video, Eckhart discusses what he calls “the greatest mystery of the universe”—the mystery of consciousness, and how through direct experience we can discover a startling spiritual truth: the universe itself is consciousness, and so are you.
The most important relationship we have, teaches Eckhart Tolle, is our relationship with the present moment. An antagonistic attitude toward the objective reality of the here and now is a recipe for suffering. On the other hand, cultivating a friendlier relationship with the present moment can improve your entire life.
Worldly power (or egoic power) is usually wielded as power over someone or something. In this video with Eckhart Tolle, he reveals another kind of power: the silent yet immense power of Presence. This kind of power is not something you can grasp intellectually; rather, you can sense into it as a type of deep trust in the one life of which we are all an inseparable part. Give a watch as Eckhart discusses: ▪️ The Buddha’s teachings on emptiness ▪️Sensing your connection with Source ▪️True creativity, and more
Imagine that you wrote a doctoral dissertation about honey… but never tasted it for yourself. This is the analogy Eckhart Tolle shares in this video to illustrate the difference between knowing things conceptually and knowing things through direct, sensory experience in the present moment. Watch now as he discusses: ▪️Choosing to let go of the narrative in the mind about who you are in order to open to the realization of your essential nature as consciousness itself ▪️How the absence of awareness leads to conflict on the individual and collective level ▪️ Freeing yourself from “mental positions,” aka opinions
Who are you when you do not refer to your thinking mind for the answer? Most people derive their sense of self from a conceptual framework composed of things like your personal history, your gender, your occupation, and so on. Eckhart Tolle‘s primary teaching is to help us discover who we are beyond anything we can conceive of mentally: consciousness itself. In this video, Eckhart discusses:
There are two dimensions to our lives, teaches Eckhart Tolle. The first is one we’re all familiar with: the physical dimension of linear time and space, or what Eckhart calls the dimension of form. The second is one most people live completely ignorant of: the transcendent or “formless” dimension of Presence. In this video, join Eckhart as he explores: ▪️Finding freedom from the burden of a “heavy” sense of self—and the dramas of unconscious living ▪️The dynamics of suffering, surrender, and spiritual awakening ▪️Relinquishing thought as the key to realizing the transcendent dimension—the “silent Presence” of your deepest nature
When you give your breath your full attention, teaches Eckhart Tolle, you step out of thinking and into the present moment. In this video, Eckhart shares the practice of “One Conscious Breath,” discussing how we can turn the largely unconscious process of respiration into an always available portal to fully embodied Presence. Eckhart also discusses: ▪️The ancient tradition of breath awareness practice ▪️ The meditator’s pitfall: compartmentalizing awareness in your practice session and remaining unconscious the rest of the time ▪️ The goal of all spiritual techniques: the realization of Being
Where is your attention most of the time? Eckhart Tolle teaches that for the majority of humans on the planet, our daily circumstances (or what he calls “your life situation”) fully absorb our consciousness. In other words, we’re so busy thinking, planning, fretting, and taking care of our to-dos that we either overlook the present moment or see it as only as a means to some future end. In this video, Eckhart shares immediate strategies and approaches for shifting into Presence no matter how challenging your life situation may be.
How do you know when you’re really present? What does becoming Present look and feel like? In this video, Eckhart Tolle defines spiritual awakening as the act of encountering “the stillness above thought” within yourself. Join Eckhart as he discusses: • How certain activities can stop the mind in its tracks and deepen your sense of aliveness • Liberation from the personality and the analogy of the ripple and the ocean • How extreme suffering can spark an inner realization and the discovery of “the peace that passes understanding” • Choosing the present moment instead of ruminating about the past

Many of us are destined to become spiritual teachers, formally or informally, because our world desperately needs more of them. Eckhart Tolle illustrates how you might play this role yourself, sharing cautionary advice about the dangers of the ego getting in the way. Join Eckhart in this video as he discusses the process of realizing the “Deep I,” relinquishing your ego-based sense of self, bringing awareness to the source of suffering in the mind, and more.
In order for our world to free itself from pointless conflict on a collective level, teaches Eckhart Tolle, we must begin by uprooting the causes of pointless conflict on a personal level. In this video, Eckhart discusses: • How life mirrors our predominant state of consciousness back to us • The obstacle of the ego and its quest for superiority at any cost • Finding freedom from the “burden” of the personality • How the process of spiritual awakening commonly unfolds for people
You can never be fulfilled when you only know yourself as “the story in your mind,” explains Eckhart Tolle. In this teaching on transcending the limitations of a mind-made sense of self, Eckhart shares insights into: • Your “life situation” versus life in this moment • Ego identification and its roots in unobserved thought • Breaking out of the prison of “victim identity” • Facing facts without transforming them into your sense of who you are
There is an infinite depth to who you are, teaches Eckhart Tolle. Yet when we’re continually lost in thought, we overlook our deeper nature. Using the analogy of a ray of light that “forgets” it is part of the Sun, Eckhart helps us rediscover and experience firsthand the formless essence of who we are, even while we navigate this world as an individual in physical space and time.
Although they used the terminology of their times, both the Buddha and Jesus directed their listeners toward what Eckhart Tolle calls “the dimension of spaciousness” within. In Buddhism, this dimension is known as “emptiness”; in Christianity, it is called “the kingdom of heaven.” Here, Eckhart shares his own pointers for stepping outside of identification with the mind-made sense of self, and into the freedom of “the formless.”
Eckhart Tolle explores the life-changing realization that you don’t have a life, you are life. Our attachment to personal stories, past memories, and future expectations often leads to suffering. But the truth is, the essence of who you are is beyond the narrative we identify as “our life.”
Inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in Greece we find the famous dictum, “Know Thyself.” But what does it really mean to know yourself? In this teaching, Eckhart Tolle points us toward the realization of our “essence identity”—consciousness itself.
When we hear the word “reincarnation,” we typically associate it with the concept of past lives and rebirth found in Eastern spiritual traditions such as Buddhism. In this teaching, Eckhart Tolle shares a different understanding of the term. Before we awaken spiritually, he explains, we subject ourselves to a moment-by-moment reincarnation of repetitive thoughts, feelings, and associated behaviors that perpetuate suffering.
It may not seem so at first, but is possible to engage both your ordinary daily tasks and the more complicated situations and circumstances with a felt sense of alert stillness as the background of your experience.
Why do we experience suffering? Eckhart Tolle reveals that much of our pain arises from the “misuse of the mind.” In this video, he explains how thought identification traps us in patterns of unhappiness and stress—and offers profound insights to help us break free.
In this profound teaching, Eckhart Tolle reflects on a life-changing moment that sparked his awakening. At the age of 29, Eckhart reached a point of deep inner unhappiness, not due to his external circumstances, but because of the incessant, self-defeating thought patterns in his mind. In this video, he shares how the realization that he is not his thoughts, emotions, or body led him to a transformative shift in consciousness.
