Cinderelly says:

So true about the resistance. This happened to me. The suffering was absolutely unbearable and I could feel my health suffering. I knew acceptance was the only way to bliss. You Elkhart were a solid footing and helped me to get through with the tools I already had. I lost my whole family but realized the abuse and bullying was something I had to accept and move forward. Though I still have moments I allow that, then go toward the acceptance once again. Thank you.

André Reloaded says:

He's shown me that I DO have a persistent ego that holds on to past experiences. Thank you Eckhart for unveiling my poor me! ego/pain body after 45 years. I have made so much progress in only a couple of months, but a daily commitment to facing your ego is EVERYTHING.

James Cadzow says:

Humans sometimes need to be backed into a corner, and see no other option before change and transformation is even a possibility.

let's avoid collapsing under analitical excess of doubts and worry which hinder real time flow to observe with courage our opponent to win real challenge and cash target

John Vreden says:

Suicidal tendencies is what woke me up. First I found a CBT package from a Dr. Thomas A. Richards and his team. That got rid of 80% of the false me. Then I read The Power of Now and A New Earth, and soon I was dead. lol. I'd found death before death found me. Now I live perpetually/eternally in the kingdom of heaven. 💖 Thank You Eckhart. 💖

Consciencia-Sanación-Creación | Meditation Music says:

Adversity is the disguised opportunity (wake-up call) we were always asking and praying for to start our healing process. I seize that opportunity and just created a meditation music channel as one of my form of catharsis. I thank God and life for everything. Thank you Eckhart Tolle, too.

Arzoo Singh says:

I am sorry the problem is not with Ego but with philosophy.
Can humans really exist without ego ?
We should focus on good and low ego rather then destroying ego .
It's not possible it will never be possible

Some masters says that firm détermination is needed, and others liké you, says that Will is an obstacle. How to concile thé two. Who Can bé déterminéd? It is thé ego? Thk u

Paul Mercury says:

The answer is, both.
It depends on the person (Ego).
The Higher Conscience is aware of the ego and can guide it…

Autonomy Depth & Consciousness says:

True…adversity can enhance or weaken the ego. Adversity in my life has had both results.

David's Desk says:

Thank you! ☺️❤🙏

whywhy not says:

You mean it's arbitrary. The level of egoistic disharmony is unacceptable in that it's not condusive to dynamic transcendance which exists beyond growth.
