During a discussion about being present with family, Eckhart replied that consciousness is our highest priority; challenging relationships and situations provide us with wonderful opportunities for growth.

I remember a dinner that I attended many years ago, in which there was a loud and aggressive atmosphere among the other guests. Drama all over the place. I was quiet, and I felt quiet, until I suddenly surprised myself by shouting: "SHUT UP!", and then continued eating my dinner. The others were so stunned, that they forgot their drama, and proceeded to eat their dinner as well. I had no particular emotion other than: "mmm, this food tastes good".
Thanks for understanding <,'-_-,'>

His teaching is exactly like ancient zen master in China except he talks a lot more. That Zen master who always raised one finger and spoke nothing when people sought lesson from him was from ancient china according to what I read. Interesting backstory… His student repeated that to stranger seeking lesson (out of ego) when master was away got his raised finger cut off according to history… 😱
Why? 2 versions of stories. 1. stranger felt insulted & got angry with this phoney (might be a good swordsman). 2. master got back, told what happened, asked student to repeat what he did, when student raised finger he quickly cut it off with scissor to shock the student into awakening (Don't do this unless u are 2000% sure it will work)

As a lifelong Zen practitioner, I object to Mr. Tolle. He speaks of what amounts to SATORI; awakening, and thus breaks important rules of Zen. "He who speaks does not know, he who knows does not speak". He could lead one to false Satori. In the parlance of Zen, "He stinks of Zen."
did he ever explain how the bigger consciousness become aware of itself to create the universe?
Easier said then done my dear Eckhart… 😅
Need to have a good grip of yourself with so much of self love and plan your day with attention, presence awareness. Nothing out of the way is going to annoy you as you are prepared for the unexpected as a way of life. Have some time for yourself to do what you like. ❤️❤️. We are all face this situation and thank you so much for your question l question that many can relate.🥰🥰
Aka how can I remain present with a narcissistic partner. If you feel like running away then more than remaining present is needed. That lovely lady needs a day to herself or day that’s all about her.
I wish it was that simple. My dad has a very negative energy. While he is still able to perform some acts of kindness, he's also a bona fide chauvinist who verbally abuses my mother, and often makes racist and homophobic comments. When I am in a deep state of presence, I can overlook all his defects and be empathetic towards him. But I also realized that my state of presence doesn't nullifies all the wrong things that he says and does. He feels entitled to act like that with his wife and sons, so, even though being in a state of presence is very beneficial for myself, it is not enough to stop his terrible behaviors. Some people are just very deep in that rabbit hole, and they will try to drag others with them. How do you reconcile all of that on a day-to-day basis? How can you always be present and empathetic towards someone that is constantly causing harm to you and others? Because if you don’t confront them at some point, they will continue to believe that their behavior is justified, and they will never be able to transcend this state of unawareness. And how do you confront someone so close to you without losing your own awareness?
Please could you do a video of how to stay present when doing physical work?
I work in construction and I find it difficult
What is the meaning of "mind dominated"?
Thanks in advance.
Simple remark, wasn't the family the place where you were supposed to be relaxed and at ease, to recharge your batteries, without all this alertness and intense vigilance…? If this isn't possible in one's family i suppose that environment is marred by some deeper problems, wouldn't it be better to work on the root cause and address those first? Otherwise all that vigilance and intense attention at home will eventually strain & drain you, most likely
This is perfect …I completely agree! Thank you Eckhart Tolle
He might have added that, at first, she might not be very good at what he is suggesting. It might even be a good idea to laugh at yourself for how poorly you practiced his instructions. Humor is useful in developing awareness.
