Echkart emphasizes the importance of being disciplined with our use of devices because they are an extension of the human mind and are highly addictive. He suggests noticing if you are addicted to your device; and if you are, bring awareness to it so you can choose to be in the present moment.

I’m seriously addicted to my phone. Watching this video on it. I go to sleep listening to something on my phone, it keeps me company…

Positive and Healthy says:

Thank you! I needed this to calm down. 🙏

Peter Barker says:

lunamoon says:

I'd like to get rid of all my social media but What I find challenging is that I am in some fb groups that involve hobbies like bullet journaling that I get inspiration from and another aspect is that if I were to get off it, there are people whom I would lose all contact with as I don't phone or email them. So, I've tried to at least lessen the amt of time Im on these apps but haven't deleted them . Trying to find the balance but it's hard

Zantag says:

I am addicted to my devices🙈 yes it is so important to admit. I do exactly what tolle said people do

Natur Korb says:

That happened :

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."

The solution :

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

What to do :

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Do come :

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."

Island Lotus says:

I deleted all my social media except for YouTube. It brought me peace and I don't miss it at all.

Law Of Attraction says:

TO everyone struggling with any addiction: YOU CAN DO IT! I believe in you, you're on the right path to set yourself free from it 🙂

Law Of Attraction says:

I wish I could meet the great Eckhart Tolle once in my life 🙂

Oliver Matias says:

💯👌🙏

A B says:

Good advice, thank you.

Juliana Calefi says:

I wish I had some friends like Eckhart.. I'm so tired of people telling me that I'm weird bc I don't have social media accounts or bc I don't binge watch TV shows or don't spend hours watching tik tok, sometimes you just need someone to understand why you don't spend your time doing those things…

Bobby Chastain says:

I listen to spiritual teachers and audio books and bbc radio plays while I work at carpentry. This may be a higher quality addiction, but even so. Would I be better off concentrating on my work? What difference does it make?

The Konnection Club (Kathryn Perez) says:

I’m trying to find a job where I don’t have to use it. I’m still looking!!!

Ike that betch Turner says:

🤔Eckhart is such a sweet soul and good guy but this is the information and technology age. 🤷🏾‍♂️

DancinDane says:

"ARE YOU ADDICTED TO TECHNOLOGY?"
Yes, YouTube – yes I am.

Gulya Kolakova says:

I also tell phone and TV addicts – get your own life rather than following life of others.

Gulya Kolakova says:

This is exactly what happens everywhere, everyone is staring at screens. I visit my sister very seldom, and even then, when I come, her and her son are both staring at their phones. I tell them that I will not waste my time to come see them again. Its an addiction worse than drugs or alcohol, we have a sick society..

Ananda Kumar Santhinathan says:

Amazing how the mind can trick us. As soon as I finished watching this beautiful video, one of the first things that came to my mind was "It is so good that I should share it with all my friends via WhatsApp right away."

Liam W says:

The timing of this couldn’t possibly be any better! I know that my phone constantly takes my attention and I know that I will have a better relationship with the present when I stop using it unnecessarily. I’m taking this as the extra push I’ve been needing to finally take some action. Thank you for this and everything else you’ve done, you’re a true blessing ☺️✌🏼

Positive and Healthy says:

I really need to at least start stretching my whole body during the day and work from there to exercising a half and hour 5 days a week!

Rozhan R says:

Thanks master Eckhart for your precious words 🏵️

David Laribee says:

Just heard you're Deep State Controlled Opposition.

Ginnie Bean says:

Guard your mind . They don't want to seem less popular than the next guy or they afraid someone else might talk to them .

K T says:

Thank you, My HEART and soul Family 🌷 we love praying with M'Lord Jesus and My HEART ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 we ask that since you don't want us to use the phone to hear you then please allow us to hear you clearly. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❣ we love you. Amen ✌ 🙏 💞🦋🦄
