yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Eckhart acting like he knows everything lol.
Hello Peter I was there when you two talked it was lovely. I aspire to be
now on a house boat someday soon. 🙂 Im stuck in the capitol for now.
One of the best talks on meditation. Yes…be weary of a constructed
meditation, as it can become the obstetrical and not the awakening. We can
reach nirvana NOW….and then…NOW. Be aware of your resistance.
Hvala na podsjetniku 🙂 Thanks for reminding me!
meditation basically is deactivating one’s thought. By realizing or
noticing the space between objects and looking deeply into the space, is
the same with deactivating thought.
meditation flows naturally without effort once we have understood and
erased negative emotions residing in our mind

Note: Peter Russell was the guy who wrote that Superparadigm article:

that convinced me of the Formless.
Two spiritual masters discuss how to ease into a meditation.
Peter Russell gives the impression that he came across this effortless form
of meditation himself. He misses out the fact that all his ideas about
meditation were derived from Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation
technique, which Peter learned back in the 1970s. Maharishi brought about a
revolution in the way we think about meditation – that it should be
effortless and natural and that any trying from our side stops the
effortless process of diving within to the source of thought.
Thanks, Peter. I hope you know that you are truly impacting humanity.
Perhaps I should say you, your thoughts and explanations, have profoundly
impacted many of my friends and me. Your lecture on the Primacy of
Conciousness started me on a journey that has been life changing. Think
about that. Change one life and you change the lives of my wife, children
siblings, etc. Real impact. So cool. Thank you.
Yes, Maharishi was a big breakthrough in this regard – and I do acknowledge
it elsewhere (eg my recent Huff Post blog). And some of what I was
discussing with ET comes from subsequent studies.
Yes, I believe all traditions point to the same realization. Over time they
have absorbed the trappings and presumptions of their culture leading them
to appear quite different on the surface. We today are homing on in their
common source.
Looking between them, there is so much presence in the air.
Thanks Peter for this, it’s a very powerful message for just five minutes.

It seems that discussions of technique across many disciplines are getting
more and more general and therefore increasingly similar. Peter’s
description sounds very much like centering prayer in the Christian
tradition. The more I search the more it seems that these many paths do
indeed lead to contemplation of the same truth. I don’t understand the
depth and complexity of the details of each of the wisdom traditions if the
truth to which they point is one and the same. Insight, Peter?
This is great, I love Eckhart! He has such a great way of putting things in
a way that makes so much sense! I’m a songwriter and when I read the power
of now I was so inspired that I wrote a song based on the book called “All
Things Subside”…. Check it out on my channel if you’re interested!
Seat…Relax….Watch Your Breath…..Allow Yourself to become Silent…..
Don’t Play with Thought. Feel (your)Self.
Seems to me like the “secret” practice of meditation after millenia finally
becomes available to the “ordinary” people. You don’t have to become a monk
or join a organisation. Just log in to the “global brain” 😉 Thank you so
much Eckhart and Peter !
Tolle seems to be a lil tense in here!
Two lovely people ^_^
