  1. Many years ago I encountered a Greek gentleman (I was living in Greece at the time) who told me all about some amazing transformation he had recently experienced. As he described it, I realise now it sounded so like Eckhart's awakening – especially as he had no idea what it was that had happened to him. I do not remember his name or anything else much about him, unfortunately, I just remember his incredible glow of immense joy and I did so want it! So I am delighted at last to have found Eckhart's teachings and am hoping to 'get there' – although with varying degrees of success, I am definitely in a better place than I was. I shall persevere……!

  2. i realize that this man could be at peace, living in a shack, or castle, walking his quiet way back home,
    but here he is, Ieaving us vital instruction to help us on our way too.

  3. n the flip side, like Be, I disagree with Tolle’s
    sense that “inner work” alone will somehow solve the systemic misery
    that plagues so many in this world. Having read a fair amount of his
    writing, and listened to some of his talks, I find his general approach
    to be far too individualistic in focus for my taste. Not only is social
    and political action downplayed or dismissed outright, but you rarely
    hear talk about communities, serving others, or anything else associated
    with being together in groups. Just as is true of a lot of American
    convert Buddhism,in Tolle’s writing you can’t help but notice how
    heavily individual psychology and psychological theories color what’s
    being said.

    Beyond all that, there’s the fierce, capitalist
    machine behind Tolle’s work to contend with. Nearly everything this guy
    touches these days is being turned into a product intended for “your
    awakening,” and I don’t get the sense that he has any problem with that.
    In fact, I think the packaging of Tolle as a non-threatening spiritual
    guru has not only lead to wildly higher sales and spreading of his
    message, but also wholesale rejection of his work by those like myself
    actively resisting capitalism, colonialism, and the commodification of
    spiritual practice.

  4. Let go of thinking without any effort. Realize you are more fully yourself when you are not thinking.
    You are the clear space of presence before thinking. I AM.
    Actual presence is when there is no background commentary.
    Thanks Eckhart. 28 July 2022.

  5. Renounce unnecessary thinking, attachment to thoughts.
    Realizing presence.Your essential identity does not need past or future. You are already complete in the presence.
    Thanks Eckhart. 28 July 2022.
