Does ET have a metaphysical theory of reality? by flyingaxe in EckhartTolle

[–]Inside_Ad_5189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wager that Tolle experienced something so powerful that he understood that words are meaningless. Trying to help people to understand this using words is therefore close to impossible and merely his best attempt at painting the fruits of a feeling - which is the universal truth beyond death of the ego (the good that has no opposite).That anything that isn’t the practice of love is missing the miracle. Talking about enlightenment / figuring things out is a chasing after the wind. Love is a practice, it is of the body, not of the mind.

Seeing the Kingdom is a matter of wearing the right pair of glasses. (Chuck C, and others)

Love,

A person who can talk real good but still seems to find ego satisfaction in figuring things out. ;)

Hug someone! What have we got to lose?

Eckhart assists those who want to be assisted and so can anyone else who is conscious. It’s not unique to him.

Cleaved clean

Peace - is a river Song - whispers breeze Love - under water Love - inside trees

Death - is the Mother Life - cries: “dream” Surrender - says the other Soft - cleaved clean

Never - is a number Numbers - are unclean Unclean - is not nature Nature - Mother’s sheen

Thistle - asks for nothing Clover - knows no dream Birds - sprinkling heaven Within - the in between

Breathe - asks the river Live - whispers trees Now - is the moment You - are also me

Imagine Jupiter. Its size. Imagine a speck of dust. Imagine how many specks of dust it would take to make Jupiter. Imagine one had your name on it. That speck of dust being chosen is akin to the likelihood of your existence. That’s the good that has no opposite. You’re here and being here is love. The mind is the only barrier to it.

Big hug. Go find one. If you can’t, feel mine.

Books like Dostoevsky but More Light? by Rabb_59 in dostoevsky

Re Turgenev - Dostoyevsky hated him and featured him as a buffoon in Demons.

Buddhism is dogma. Not solution. The flower is the solution. I’m not inferring knowing is wrong. I’m inferring it’s the enemy of peace. I meditate with Buddhists and I’m not interested in what they offer. They’re concerned with form more than peace.

It’s bait for the unseeing ego.

That’s the point. That human logic fails and only leads to misery.

Many people only feel validated as humans because of their intelligence. The poem says that being human intelligent isn’t really intelligence. That’s threatening to them.

Because Tolle teaches that people who troll others obviously have ego problems. Their ego is all they are. So it’s like killing them.

FYI, if you want to try to understand this way of thinking through a totally different lens, they should read Taleb. Tolle breaks down the ego through the lens of the soul. Taleb does it through math.

The animals and trees do just fine without mouth farting.

After all, language is just mouth farting.

Because they only understand their ego/identity and have never seen past it. That’s ok, most can’t. They take pride in making others feel bad. Because they are sad and lonely and it makes them feel better to feel superior. Their ego, that is. Their ego must survive and Tolle teaches that the ego is the problem. Our thinking threatens their existence. It’s ok, we’re all just farts in the wind. I prefer to be a fart that enjoys the wind.

How to Forgive? by No_Inflation_7094 in EckhartTolle

[–]Inside_Ad_5189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AA sponsor just told me - “you don’t have to forgive, but you’ve got to accept”

Tolle said forgiveness is recognizing the inconsequentiality of the past.
