  1. To boil it down, Tolle's ego died because it was so unhappy. After his ego died, all that was left his the true-self, which is hidden in most of us.

  2. Anyone that claims to be a Buddha – awakened one, or enlightened, is absolutely guaranteed to be either a liar or a self deceiver, or an unfortunate combination of both, because the enlightened or awakened simply do not do that; they have no*need* to do that because if it is true it is self evident – they don’t need to sell anything like some grubby little door-to-door salesman.

  3. Eckhart didn't awaken. Truth blossomed through Eckhart. Truth that already was. Truth that always is. That's when "Eckhart" died. There are no enlightened people. Enlightenment means the end of the "person".
    There will still be an apparent body/mind but no identification as such. Nothing is gained. Only truth revealed/remembered.
    Once you uncover who/what you've always been, there is knowing that you never were a person. ???

  4. An ancient Spiritual Truth states ."if your still an Individual among other Individuals,…you haven't accomplished or attained anything ( there is no such thing as an individual )that is the Truth.

  5. I have been trying for years, using several time-honored and newer strategies, but it eludes me. I have ome to the conclusion that for many like Eckhart and even more traditional teachers, they don't actually understand why it happens to them. There is a lot of luck involved. I have known people on the path for over 25 years and still died without having had the experience. I sometimes wish I didn't know it's possible…

  6. Many years ago I had an amazing spiritual awakening, I wanted to die because life no longer meant anything, but that day, in a fit of desperation, I asked God in whom I no longer believed, to help me because if not, I was going to die. When I stood up I was another person, content, happy, with the ability to relate to people with qualities of wisdom that I never had.

  7. I had a spontaneous awakening in 2014. I was having the same struggles as Echart (sort of) and I was pushed 100% into the present moment of now. Faster than a blink of an eye. I have questions that I wish I could speak with him personally, about. I need someone else who is awake… and “advanced” in their awakened state, to talk to. So, many people are in the “cognitive now”

  8. "The old consciousness still has it's gravitational pull…." All I can say to that is: "For Crying Out Loud!" An American expression, I believe. An expression of frustration. All well and good to be "no-one going anywhere doing anything". My experience of "no-one going anywhere doing anything" is "no-one going anywhere doing anything"! I fear I could easily step in front of a car, all oblivious! The disappeared one thinks it's a good idea to keep an eye out for tigers lurking in the jungle, for cars running up onto the sidewalk, for miscreants wanting to do me harm. And the disappeared one seems to have a pretty good point! As it stands it seems I can either be a disappeared one… "no-one going anywhere doing anything" or I can be a body, a person, moving thru a dangerous world and watching out for itself. For crying out loud! I consider myself a mystic because I am thoroughly mystified!

  9. I had what you describe as a satori. It came upon me suddenly and lasted for a few minutes. I was not in a spiritual practice. I was emptying the trash. Suddenly I saw and felt the air entirely differently. I experienced WONDER!
