Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author, born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of 29 a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. He devoted the next several years to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth—translated into over 52 languages—he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and Watkins Review has named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
Eckhart’s profound, yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on awakening consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking, and can be seen as the next step in human evolution. In the awakened state of presence, we discover what Eckhart describes as our essential identity—who we are beneath the surface—and its power for transforming our selves and our world.
Love Eckhart! However, just got email stating whoever is in charge of running his company supports Marxism..Since Eckhart probably does not use social media or watch the news, I don't know if he realizes this and don't think he would support these types of groups or he is being pressured to do so..sad day in America 😓
tl:dr; Yes.
Isaiah 45:7
>I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
To suggest otherwise is dualism, god is the source of all and almighty, without him there would be no evil and no good.
NT support:
Romans 9
>10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
>11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
>12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
>13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
>14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
>15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
>16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
>17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
>18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
>19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
>20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
>21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
>22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
>23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory
Sorry eckhart going to have to agree to disagree, from someone who has seen/ experienced evil, there is more to it than identification, which can be a part of if though
So, I thought evil came from demons and stuff. Do you believe that God created angels and demons and all that fairy world?
Yes, only Good is associated with God and evil is not created by God but when we're not aware of our true self it is the ego that manifests and evil is a menefestation of mind
I am sorry. I am not satisfied with this answer.
Not quite.
Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
This is an answer similar to my previous comment, coming from Eckhart Tolle himself. An excerpt from Power of Now:
"It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept — before they will forgive. As soon as they do, one of the greatest miracles happens: the awakening of Being consciousness through what appears as evil, the transmutation of suffering into inner peace. The ultimate effect of all the evil and suffering in the world is that it will force humans into realizing who they are beyond name and form. Thus, what we perceive as evil from our limited perspective is actually part of the higher good that has no opposite. This, however, does not become true for you except through forgiveness. Until that happens, evil has not been redeemed and therefore remains evil."
Boom!
He doesn't have to answer your insecurities.
Good or evil is irrelevant. At least in the ultimate. And on another level: yes god did create evil.
