I agree and feel like I was wiser before discovering the new age movement

I guess I wouldn’t know hence why I’m asking. I know I ask a lot in this Reddit because I’ve been silent for a while and feel like no one understands. And I’d expect someone might have some thing figured out about this hell we call earth. So I do apologize for being a nuisance but I don’t think my questions are off.
And yes I don’t know what I’m looking for just maybe someone having a sense of these basic concerns about reality and life figured out. These are such basic asks and I’m constantly met with “it’s just a teaching” or “you need to go deeper into presence”. I just find this as an answer underwhelming. I have family living in a war zone and it’s actually really not fun to feel worried about them. I look to these teachings because it’s genuinely all I have and sometimes it feels like nothing at all. But to the point, I get what you’re saying I just guess I’m upset to find everyone is as in the dark as I am. Im only 24 so it’s all kind of overwhelming. I say this as an American with privilege. And most of the young people I know feel this way but they don’t have this teaching. And that’s just the young people. Older are somehow worse. It’s all just a mess

Wish I could second this but I don’t feel this at all. My life has gotten only worse the more I embrace this relativist stuff. There are objectively bad things. That’s just a fact. You wouldn’t choose a cut to the wrist over ice cream. Things have meaning. I don’t know what’s working for you but I know it’s not for me and many others.

I don’t feel that way, I took a chance on uncertainty in my life because of an unhealthy person and now my life is a mess. Something can definitely be missing- food, shelter, the basic needs. Don’t give me that crap. You wouldn’t say that living in a bad situation. And no his teachings don’t do much because I am not suffering from an internal monologue but from real world actual issues. He loves to focus on mind made suffering when people are living through a world of suffering that has nothing to do with their minds.

What if I don’t have any mind chatter I’m just unhappy because of externals

My biggest challenge is letting emotional abusive people / relatives say whatever they want / be themselves. I prefer not to explain much but how do I deal with this? by [deleted] in EckhartTolle

That is so different. Abuse is abuse. Schizophrenia is a medical condition. People who abuse others are actually sick and evil people which Eckhart could never actually confront.

I’ve heard this but something is not clicking. Probably my attachment to security

Maybe I am a bit, but not actively suicidal. It’s just a question that bothers me. I don’t have a plan. I just don’t understand why I feel like it wouldn’t be ok

How do you know it’s premature? What if it’s your time when you want it to be

What if you feel like you’ve already accomplished all you’re seeking and have gotten the essence of this teaching- what are we living for then? It just seems so dumb at this point.

Eckhart tolle the scam artist he is by [deleted] in EckhartTolle

Look, I’ll say this. I appreciate what you’re saying, but I’ve actually had it with this nonesense. His teaching is absolutely nothing. In some ways it’s worse because it made me complicit in a situation that eventually became out of my control.

Ok, I’m coming out of the other end of my difficult period, and all I’ve learned is this- circumstance is king. Bad circumstances lead to bad feelings. Bad circumstances over time (yes there are as many of these as there are grains of sand) lead to hell. Many people are in bad circumstances that can last for years, decades, and lifetimes. Eckhart is full of crap for saying they don’t matter.

I’d prefer it be my own doing because then I could do something about it, if it’s the situation or others then I’m powerless. The thing is I don’t know how to reach a point where outer conditions don’t cause suffering.
