But ..if you have a healthy spiritual outlook, you will have the ability of Not really worrying about it too much. And even amidst the possible world turmoil/destruction,you will have a peace that people will not understand...they will think that youre High or just Lost your mind... But I believe that the signs of the EPIC world story's End is all around us-- which will usher in a new world story.. but the transition phase will begin in 2012, so yes! enjoy the NOW,, and spend your money!
i agree. we will transit through the death barrier and reincarnate, according to each individual's soul plan, sooner or later. the more advanced will come sooner, generally. also, individuals intuitively know if/when they're needed to rebuild the next human root race. this has happened infinite times before and will continue indefinitely. 311 trillion yr cycle, in a closed loop.
There is a spiritual interpretation of the end of the age... of shedding off old skin , and replacing it with a high consciousness..bla bla.. thats good and dandy... but there is another interpretation of 2012- The beginning of the End of another epic story of humanity. Our lives are microcosyms of th One great Tale of humankind. Lemuria, Atlantis, Mesopotamia, all the great empires of time, the mayans included all Ended. 2012 is an election year admist th shadw of WW3.. something will happen
@ChadwickMichaelWill that is a great way of explaining i see what you said happening also i think they are very true what the man said in the video and what you said thanks for the share and bringing type of idea to my attention
@dirkschuitsma Well it's all how you see the world, you're obviously a very negative pessimistic person. Just as the opposite for someone like her who is speaking her thoughts on the matter, she seems very optimistic.
I am optimistic in other ways. So, please dont judge too quickly, thank you very much. But on this subject I am realistic. And that is: this global "civilization" is going down, just as the Byzantium and Roman "civilizations" did. We humans are merely animals and havent developed/evolved that much yet. Its ok, but lets not pretend we are something we are not.
@dirkschuitsma In terms of the macro view of humanity, I'd like to add that there is a large manipulation of mass media, nutrition, economics, and politics in our world by a small group of people. Forget conspiracy. Just look at the Bilderberg meetings. If we were to remove that burden, there is a chance that humans will show their potential in much better light. For example, I am working on a project to bring mass consciousness via internet. There may be others doing the same or even better.
@drchen054 how should someone in captivity enjoy the now? you cannot answer that. just as we cannot MAKE ourselves enjoy the now. when it happens , it happens.
@runtubefantasy That's a really good point. To really do it can seem difficult.. It's really a dynamic and relative solution that's much more art than science. If someone is in captivity, it may be true he REALLY can't tolerate the situation right now. But if he admits and accepts his intolerance, he relaxes and gives space. Thus, he falls back towards the now more even though some disconnection still exists. In every moment exists the opportunity align with the now as much as possible
From that relaxation, we may slowly gain enough space to actually begin the acceptance of captivity. Your ego may still not like the captivity at all. But you will connect with a larger expanded sense of being that enjoys every moment of it, because it enjoys everything. From there, new perspectives may open up or even new solutions to the situation that will allow your ego to enjoy the overall current situation. From inside out happiness comes.
I can well relate to 'mindfulness', to living in the moment, and to living one day at a time, & getting the most of living out of every single day of life. But - I find that Tolle typically talks in circles, in vague cryptic terms, & is therefore a poor, non-effective, way-overated communicator. He needs to get to basics & to learn to verbalise in simple terms. KISS.
@colindominy Have you seen the "Work" of Byron Katie. Eckhart himself has said that his work is the "what" and hers is the "how". I personally have done the "work" and its wonderfully effective and makes it very practical to observe the Ego. check it out, i think you'll get that good stuff.
@jobedied I love you. thanks and call me. my orifice awaits.... ps. I HAD NO CLUE ON (caps off, now ok...) how to spell the word "orifice" before you used it in a sentence! I am thrilled to have that clarified, thank you.... seperate note now (time for butt hump business): Still think these two are gay and wanna have sexy butt sex with Echart. They may succeed, in a New-age-anal orgy! lets all watch, and yell " KRIKEY" while we pretend we are Steve Irwin! cool. cheers for 2012 everybody (FUCKem)
Tolle talks like hes above it all, but all in all, doesnt say anything that special (or even coherantly, at times.) These two fags wanna buttfuck each other anyway. WOW GAY
@bizzwoofer what a blessing your brain farts into the world net , the most profound statements man has ever heard. Perhaps you should go write a novel on gay folks anal behavior you are so full of knowledge on the subject. The world is waiting for such a person as you the world authority on butt screwing between people. I have these barbed wire probes laced with broken glass that word has it folks like you want inserted into your anal orifice.
2012 Is the end of the world... as we know it, IF anything happens in 2012 I think it will be a change in humanity, something inside, no explosions and such ^^
Are you fucking serious? He compared 2000 to 2012? Um 2000 was a theory made up by humans in that time. 2012 is backed up by not only different cultures around the world, but so many ancient texts/ documents/etc... You know what though, I bet you 2012 is the point where more people know about Eckhart's teachings, thus changing the world on a grand scale anyways, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecies and shit anyways. Ha, wouldn't that be something. Guess we are going to find out! :)
THEORIES...we don't know anything regarding the future (if the future even manifest itself)..We do know that LOVE works, caring, kindness, investing in one's vitality (fitness, nutritious foods, good positive upbeat music, being friendly, being the person who turns your cheek by not succumbing to the character of a less actualized person. Theory (A Theory of Everything is the title to one book)..We don't know anything because tomorrow is not promised to anyone but we all have FAITH..everyone
She speaks Truth. There is a mass awakening occurring for a reason. The date is not absolute. However, the sense of urgency is personal to YOU. Fear, as a motivation, is counterproductive. You are being given the choice to awaken, to experience why you chose to be here at this time, and to realize what your purpose is. The choice is always yours. However, it's being offered to you right at this moment. Love to All...
To begin the process of awakening, go to: NO-SELF.com (free site)
it's better to concentrate on the body, it knows what to do...all this talk is just talk, all words written in comments just graphical signs, forgotten soon, not more than that...
@Refoops Pretty sure his mind is going something like: "Be in the moment, be in the moment, power of now, power of now... I can't believe I'm dating this crackpot.... be in the moment, power of now..."
People, stop predicting the future. It's a waste of your time! Instead focus on the moment here and now. Predicting future doesen't help people now and it's almoust always nagative.
I was hoping to hear some exciting 2012 prediction but what else do you expect from Eckhart Tolle. Speculation can be very interesting but in the end it's just illusory. Whenever we think of the future or remember the past, we always do it now.
It is highly unlikely that Eckart Tolle would say anything like this. As far as know he's a spiritual teacher and not a prophet. How would this prediction be any different than the May 21st rapture? I'm just not in the mood for fire and brimstone dressed up to look like New Age jargon. We can't belive everything we hear or read. Change is gradual and it's happening. Why the scare tactics?"
@butohbaby Please watch the video again. Tolle's prediction was a joke. He said "In 2012 everyone alive today will be wiped off the face of the map.....in about 90 years". :-)
"I guarantee we will all be wiped out...in about 90 years." That's great. All this spiritual emergence and global transformation stuff is fine to talk about, but I think of the words of Ram Dass: "In the 1960's I was worried that everything was changing too quickly. Now I realize that things change very slowly."
yep the master architects will destroy and rebuild the matrix! Meditate all you want, you can experience this feeling good or bad, but the high priests of this world are planing change and its already begun! I suppose if there is a collective of the whole planet awakening - then there would be great possibility of something amazing happening!
@TheUltraNinja: You are right in writing: "there would be great possibility of something amazing happening!" it is happening and we are in the midst of it now.
By the way, Tolle does talk about being God, not connecting to God. From where do you get his duality?
Many people are listening to him who wouldn't give a shit about traditional mysticism. He doesn't necessarily want to appear as a "real mystic". He is making his teaching universally accessible.
@winstono75 asked: "From where do you get his duality?" My reply: From his own teachings.
Search and OBJECTIVELY examine his books and lectures. (Take off your rose-colored glasses.) For example, Tolle speaks of reality as being "twofold" -- things AND space, thingness AND no-thingness ("A New Earth"). THAT IS DUALITY. Compare/contrast that to a PURE mystical teaching which tells you there is only ONE reality -- a spiritual one, that has no "AND"s after it or following it or before it.
@mysticoversoul Maybe the duality serves best as introductory concept. Ken Wilber talks about three successive realizations: The world is illusory, Brahman alone is real, Brahman is the world.
He is enlightened, and the point is not to teach mysticism, but to facilitate people becoming enlightened. An enlightened being has power by virtue of his individual enlightenment, and whatever concepts exist out there in the world are secondary.
@winstono75: Ken Wilber was speaking of the phases or stages one might go through in the course of realizing oneness. All three phases are just mere aspects of one continuing process of realization. Some go through the three, others through less, and even some others go through only one in which all the others phases have become integrated and absorbed.
Teaching mysticism is a euphemism for spiritual transmission. A spiritual teacher can only teach and transmit what he himself has attained.
@winstono75: [So you emphasize phase one to someone who's still rooted in ordinary consciousness.] -- No, not exactly. (1) We never know at what stage of awakening a person truly is: It's a private and intimate matter between that person and God. Outwardly he may seem to be a beginner but in truth may be past that already. ("Judge not appearances.") Often we underestimate even ourselves: We may fail to realize how really close we are to a homerun because we rely on "standards." (Continued)
@winstono75 [Con't: ...phase one...] -- (2) Fruitage is our only hint: what one says/does, how one lives life and relates to others & his goods... But then only a HINT. (3) I'd present ALL 3 phases so that the person can be aware of the complete picture. In my experience, many become "stuck" in their growth simply because they were misled into focusing only on one phase, usually the "beginner's". Show others the entire pie even as you serve them only a slice of pie at a time. (continued)
@winstono75 [Con't.] -- (4) The process: "The world is illusory, Brahman alone is real, Brahman is the world." does not follow a strict 1-2-3 sequence of order. The ordering depends on one's state of consciousness. (5) As I said earlier, not all 3 phases may even be experienced to realize illumination. CONCLUSION: Learn & try to live the WHOLE PROCESS, and always abide w/in in the paradox awareness that the process is ALREADY COMPLETE in you now. You ARE the very light you are seeking. Shalom!
@winstono75 said: "He (Tolle) is making his teaching universally accessible."
I fully agree with you. I have no doubts whatsoever that Tolle is making HIS OWN teaching universally accessible. It does not mean HIS teaching is unadulterated correct mysticism, though. Authentic pure mysticism, whether traditional (in your words; I prefer to use "classic") or contemporary, is the same regardless of the time epoch (when) or the cultural setting (where) it is realized and originally expressed. ;-)

@DRmayybee: Here's an even better one: Learn The Infinite Way message of Joel S. Goldsmith from his books and recorded class lectures. The mysticism is not only authentic and PURE but also sublime in its utter simplicity. Enjoy. ;-)
@full9throttle2weird: Yes, I've read/studied ACIM years ago. Also did the same w/ a number of other "fashionable" or "faddish" teachings inside/outside New Age circles circa later 20th century. None matched the directness, simplicity, uitter purity or sheer boldness of JS Goldsmith's "Infinite Way" teachings. He was a modern-day mystic par excellence, who taught AND DID HEALING. His teaching promised big time, and DELIVERED for me, enlightenment & the mystical experience of oneness with God.
People love this kind of 2012 stuff. It's entertaining and all this mystery around the Mayan calender predicting the end of our world well let me ask you. Did the Mayan calender predict the demise of the Mayans themselves ? If they couldn't predict their own, how could they predict ours ?
@claudelebel55: That's a grossly wrong interpretation of the Mayan calendar that many fear-mongering people are peddling nowadays. Learn the real take on the Mayan calendar in my recent posts at my "contemplatingtruth" Web site in WordPress-dot-com, from the likes of Carl Johan Calleman and John Wilcock and others with a different, more authentic and upbeat view. The only thing that'll demise is the human state of consciousness as people awaken spiritually, and it's already happening now. :-)
@mysticoversoul why do we need to worry about what may or may not happen in the future. The only thing that matters is where I stand NOW in this moment. The rest will take care of itself. An interpretation remains an interpretation whereas the moment needs only be lived. Time is an illusion.
@claudelebel55 -- I fully agree. No need to worry, and yes, time is an illusion. Just remember, though, that time (and space) facilitates our experience of human life, its joys and pleasures, our loves and relationships, and the world. Take away time and you are left with primordial VOID -- pristine No-thingness, zilch, nada, literally total emptiness, absolutely nothing. Not even a baby's soft smile, or the fragrance of a rose, or the sound of laughter, or the warmth of a tender loving kiss :-o
@mysticoversoul I was following you until you said that without time there was no experience other than primordial VOID but is not everything, the baby's smile, etc. enjoyed in the moment. Does the moment to moment enjoyment of the everchanging play of form require time ? Seems to me that time only comes in when you start thinking about that which is happening in the moment. Would it be correct to say that pure experiencing is timeless ?
@claudelebel55: The VOID contains all things but in their POTENTIALITY. Time allows us to experience the manifested form of that potentiality. Time is needed to enable individual awareness to ORDERLY experience the play of form and become fully absorbed/immersed in the experience, which in turn becomes the enjoyment of that moment. You take time to smell the rose inhaling its fragrance deeply; that is how you enjoy its sweetness. The sex act cannot be enjoyed without the element of time. (Cont.)
@claudelebel55: Sexual orgasm requires time, so does its enjoyment. You cannot eliminate time altogether because time's essence & source is also God, even as we are humanly creatures of time. BUT you can SUSPEND time just as you can slow it down or speed it up. "Pure experiencing" is timeless not because time has vanished but because the experience is outside time's normal operation. You suspend time's operation as you do in deep meditation. (Continued)
@claudelebel55: "Timeless" really means time is not being measured. Time operates when we set up reference points in the mind by which we try to scale or measure it. A thing of beauty is timeless because the value of its beauty stays constant despite whatever time frame it is appreciated in. When we experience pure consciousness, we experience the ultimate essence of time too -- its no-thingness. Infinity cannot be time measured, there being no available reference points or boundaries to do so.
Is there room for Jesus Christ in this channel? Does any one believe in Him as their Lord and savior? I want to know If Eckhart Tolle teaches about Christ?
@changeishere2008 Yes he does. His book "A new earth" refers mostly to Jesus Christ and Buddha. The title is actually inspired by a biblical prophecy in the new testament. I found this very enlightening since I myself have a christian background. I strongly recommend it if you are into Christianity. Powerful stuff!
@changeishere2008: I believe his background for spirituality is Buddhist rather than Christian. Not that either matters over the other IF you can understand them both at a true mystical level. ;-)
@Mysticoversoul, will you expand on "go try and stop your passions for one week"? It gets used in different contexts and I find the statement curious that "it can't be done unless you work on yourself". This speaks to me of the "passions" that are more like the addictions we develop in a material world. There is also "passion" as an adjective, which can also be described as the 'transformative energy' we use to change said addictive patterns. Great dialogue.
@boxturtleblue: My post said nothing about "go try and stop your passions for one week". I believe it was someone else's post -- snoo333.
But venturing a guess, I think snoo333 was referring to our human emotional reactions, to how we react impulsively and irrationally to our personal situations and conditions instead of responding to them in a thought out rationale manner. Your definition of " 'passions' ...like...addictions we develop in a material world" appears to be applicable here.
Tolle is a pseudo-mystic. His sense of now is not the timeless or eternal now of the Divine. It is framed between the past and the future; hence, it is still a construct in time.
@mysticoversoul well said, the problem of the new age movement is to take the Divine out of the picture and trick you into thinking your the divine which does not align with the laws of the universe. True presence is being aware of your connection to God. yes I said God, you can say it too, its not a bad word. dont let anyone take that from you.
@snoo333: We can even take this a step closer to home by saying that "True presence is being aware of your IDENTITY in God (more than just a connection to God) ." That is pure and authentic mysticism in its singular principle of Oneness. It is wonderful how you have discerned the error of the new age movement. Well said, yourself. I invite you to visit me at the WordPress domain, at "contemplatingtruth". Hope to see you there, too.
@mysticoversoul thank you for the invite. the problem even with people who follow mystics( i for one are fan) tend to forget what the mystics do to get there. They work very hard to get there. the true mystics of the world are not in it for the money or fame. they are in it for the love the God. there are times when the mystics experience oneness, but they always have to come back.
go try to stop your passions for one week and see what happens. it cant be done, unless you work on yourself.
@snoo333 Tolle is an example of unsolicited awakening, and it can be very helpful for people who similarly suddenly awaken to hear him discuss it. Having the intention of finding God and working hard to get there doesn't work for many people. Tolle is saying that your life is what teaches you enlightenment, not your efforts. We have room for both the hard working mystics and the spontaneous ones.
@winstono75 agreed my friend. I have great respect for ET. especially, when he says no guru or teacher can give you anything. he just put hundreds of wanna be prophets and living Gods out of business.
I have not issue with ET as he is a real mystic. what most people have to realise is that they cannot be like ET as he was given this gift. if you want you have to sit at park benches for a couple of years like he did. now that takes effort. if you dont believe me, go do it for 1 one. peace.
@snoo333 He sat on the park benches after he was enlightened, not before. He is not a singular case. Enlightenment can indeed just happen to people, and when they are not versed in mysticism it can be confusing.
@winstono75: You said: "...when they are not versed in mysticism it can be confusing" You got that right. You hit the nail on its head. When that happens you end up with a PSEUDO-mystic (I said that previously), you know, like a half-baked one. A true mystic needs to be like good wine -- aging to its fullest and not ready to be served on the table until it has become fully aged wine. [Love you insight here.] ;-)
@winstono75: Whether one is a "hard working" mystic or a "spontaneous" one, in both cases enlightenment is always an act of divine grace. The human self/ego is never capable on its own steam, nor deserving, of enlightenment. Enlightenment is for the benefit of the true Self or Christ-Self that we are innately. It is incidental that the human self may benefit along the way. Note that we awaken TO the true Self we are, not to our human self. Contrarily, we awaken FROM humanhood.
@mysticoversoul I agree that it's all divine grace. God doesn't care about our conscious efforts. Whatever shortcomings you see in ET, I think we should be extremely grateful for having him as an example. There certainly is a divine "sense of humor" about him, that I think is the mark of very high development. He doesn't take the ego seriously. He addresses the God in people, not the spiritual seeker.
@winstono75 -- No one should take his/her ego seriously. You are right there.
However, why distinguish between "God in people" and "the spiritual seeker"? Isn't the spiritual seeker really God in search of Itself/Himself/Herself through the seeker?
@snoo333: I've learned that the trick is not to go about your spiritual process as if it were you own personal project in life. That will only make it an ego-based undertaking Rather, learn to COOPERATE AND FLOW with an infinite process already going on in you even before you were born. Easy does it, if you flow downstream with the river current as the river empties into the vastness of the sea.
@mysticoversoul the given in to what is happening in the now bit is good. I am view all things from my perspective as you are. my biosuit is feeding with all the info i need to make a judgement about this or that. being able to see from the soul only is not that easy. those of us that know about it do try to get there. i saw your website, good info.
@snoo333: Thank you for visiting and appreciating the site. Be steadfast and keep a steady course with your spiritual unfoldment. Your progress is speeding up, as with the rest of us. We are living in the time of the "quickening." Our soul faculties are awakening rapidly. What might have taken years if not lifetimes to attain, is now occurring within a few years or even months and weeks only. Look forward to graduation day--our Ascension into the glory that is ours even before time began.
@mayhemnecrobutcher He does but also goes to say it now the end of religions or belief systems. I dont have a problem with ET. I have respect for his insight and that was given to him by God. All I am saying is dont let anyone take God from you.
@snoo333 But you see that's just the problem with belief systems, you view God in a personal/righteous way. ET isn't trying to take anything away from anyone other then the ego that corrupts God's image. From my experience, it's difficult to genuinely be in communion with God when you reduce him to a conviction or even an idea. There is nothing wrong with belief systems in the sense that they are part of our evolution. However, they are a product of ego and therefor are bound to dissolve.
You can try Willigis Jäger, Thomas Keating, Sri Bhagavan, Thich Nhat Hanh, John Daido Loori, Ramana Maharshi, Eknath Easwaran, and many more authentic teachers of Oneness.
"Connectedness" connotes a duality, i.e., (1) God and (2) the person connecting to God. That is not pure mysticism. Yup, it is a pseudo-mysticism. Pure mysticism is nondualistic.
@mysticoversoul Well he's actually not talking about an external connectedness. There is no duality evolved because (1) is intrinsic to (2). This of coarse wont make sense to you if you hold the idea of "God" as a personal entity. Tolle isn't talking about the religious or mystical image of God (as a supernatural external force) which is why it doesn't fall into the category of mysticism. He does not teach a supernatural new-age type of connectedness but rather an inner-connectedness.
@mayhemnecrobutcher: I think we have different understandings of mysticism (and what's mystical). Any "connectedness" implies a prior state of separation or sense of separateness; hence, the need to "connect." True mysticism connotes quintessential "oneness" in which there is actually nothing to "connect." Check out my "contemplatingtruth" blog site at WordPress-dot-com to learn about true mysticism.

But you will connect with a larger expanded sense of being that enjoys every moment of it, because it enjoys everything. From there, new perspectives may open up or even new solutions to the situation that will allow your ego to enjoy the overall current situation. From inside out happiness comes.

I can well relate to 'mindfulness', to living in the moment, and to living one day at a time, & getting the most of living out of every single day of life. But - I find that Tolle typically talks in circles, in vague cryptic terms, & is therefore a poor, non-effective, way-overated communicator. He needs to get to basics & to learn to verbalise in simple terms. KISS.

@colindominy Have you seen the "Work" of Byron Katie. Eckhart himself has said that his work is the "what" and hers is the "how". I personally have done the "work" and its wonderfully effective and makes it very practical to observe the Ego. check it out, i think you'll get that good stuff.

It is highly unlikely that Eckart Tolle would say anything like this. As far as know he's a spiritual teacher and not a prophet. How would this prediction be any different than the May 21st rapture?

By the way, Tolle does talk about being God, not connecting to God. From where do you get his duality?
Many people are listening to him who wouldn't give a shit about traditional mysticism. He doesn't necessarily want to appear as a "real mystic". He is making his teaching universally accessible.
winstono75 9 months ago
@winstono75 asked: "From where do you get his duality?" My reply: From his own teachings.
Search and OBJECTIVELY examine his books and lectures. (Take off your rose-colored glasses.) For example, Tolle speaks of reality as being "twofold" -- things AND space, thingness AND no-thingness ("A New Earth"). THAT IS DUALITY. Compare/contrast that to a PURE mystical teaching which tells you there is only ONE reality -- a spiritual one, that has no "AND"s after it or following it or before it.
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@mysticoversoul Maybe the duality serves best as introductory concept. Ken Wilber talks about three successive realizations: The world is illusory, Brahman alone is real, Brahman is the world.
He is enlightened, and the point is not to teach mysticism, but to facilitate people becoming enlightened. An enlightened being has power by virtue of his individual enlightenment, and whatever concepts exist out there in the world are secondary.
winstono75 9 months ago
@winstono75: Ken Wilber was speaking of the phases or stages one might go through in the course of realizing oneness. All three phases are just mere aspects of one continuing process of realization. Some go through the three, others through less, and even some others go through only one in which all the others phases have become integrated and absorbed.
Teaching mysticism is a euphemism for spiritual transmission. A spiritual teacher can only teach and transmit what he himself has attained.
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@mysticoversoul So you emphasize phase one to someone who's still rooted in ordinary consciousness.
I am happy to go along with Tolle as far as he goes.
winstono75 9 months ago
@winstono75: [So you emphasize phase one to someone who's still rooted in ordinary consciousness.] -- No, not exactly. (1) We never know at what stage of awakening a person truly is: It's a private and intimate matter between that person and God. Outwardly he may seem to be a beginner but in truth may be past that already. ("Judge not appearances.") Often we underestimate even ourselves: We may fail to realize how really close we are to a homerun because we rely on "standards." (Continued)
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@winstono75 [Con't: ...phase one...] -- (2) Fruitage is our only hint: what one says/does, how one lives life and relates to others & his goods... But then only a HINT. (3) I'd present ALL 3 phases so that the person can be aware of the complete picture. In my experience, many become "stuck" in their growth simply because they were misled into focusing only on one phase, usually the "beginner's". Show others the entire pie even as you serve them only a slice of pie at a time. (continued)
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@winstono75 [Con't.] -- (4) The process: "The world is illusory, Brahman alone is real, Brahman is the world." does not follow a strict 1-2-3 sequence of order. The ordering depends on one's state of consciousness. (5) As I said earlier, not all 3 phases may even be experienced to realize illumination. CONCLUSION: Learn & try to live the WHOLE PROCESS, and always abide w/in in the paradox awareness that the process is ALREADY COMPLETE in you now. You ARE the very light you are seeking. Shalom!

@mysticoversoul why do we need to worry about what may or may not happen in the future. The only thing that matters is where I stand NOW in this moment. The rest will take care of itself. An interpretation remains an interpretation whereas the moment needs only be lived. Time is an illusion.
claudelebel55 9 months ago
@claudelebel55 -- I fully agree. No need to worry, and yes, time is an illusion. Just remember, though, that time (and space) facilitates our experience of human life, its joys and pleasures, our loves and relationships, and the world. Take away time and you are left with primordial VOID -- pristine No-thingness, zilch, nada, literally total emptiness, absolutely nothing. Not even a baby's soft smile, or the fragrance of a rose, or the sound of laughter, or the warmth of a tender loving kiss :-o
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@mysticoversoul I was following you until you said that without time there was no experience other than primordial VOID but is not everything, the baby's smile, etc. enjoyed in the moment. Does the moment to moment enjoyment of the everchanging play of form require time ? Seems to me that time only comes in when you start thinking about that which is happening in the moment. Would it be correct to say that pure experiencing is timeless ?
claudelebel55 9 months ago
@claudelebel55: The VOID contains all things but in their POTENTIALITY. Time allows us to experience the manifested form of that potentiality. Time is needed to enable individual awareness to ORDERLY experience the play of form and become fully absorbed/immersed in the experience, which in turn becomes the enjoyment of that moment. You take time to smell the rose inhaling its fragrance deeply; that is how you enjoy its sweetness. The sex act cannot be enjoyed without the element of time. (Cont.)
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@claudelebel55: Sexual orgasm requires time, so does its enjoyment. You cannot eliminate time altogether because time's essence & source is also God, even as we are humanly creatures of time. BUT you can SUSPEND time just as you can slow it down or speed it up. "Pure experiencing" is timeless not because time has vanished but because the experience is outside time's normal operation. You suspend time's operation as you do in deep meditation. (Continued)
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@claudelebel55: "Timeless" really means time is not being measured. Time operates when we set up reference points in the mind by which we try to scale or measure it. A thing of beauty is timeless because the value of its beauty stays constant despite whatever time frame it is appreciated in. When we experience pure consciousness, we experience the ultimate essence of time too -- its no-thingness. Infinity cannot be time measured, there being no available reference points or boundaries to do so.

@Mysticoversoul, will you expand on "go try and stop your passions for one week"? It gets used in different contexts and I find the statement curious that "it can't be done unless you work on yourself". This speaks to me of the "passions" that are more like the addictions we develop in a material world. There is also "passion" as an adjective, which can also be described as the 'transformative energy' we use to change said addictive patterns. Great dialogue.

@snoo333 Tolle is an example of unsolicited awakening, and it can be very helpful for people who similarly suddenly awaken to hear him discuss it. Having the intention of finding God and working hard to get there doesn't work for many people. Tolle is saying that your life is what teaches you enlightenment, not your efforts. We have room for both the hard working mystics and the spontaneous ones.

@winstono75: Whether one is a "hard working" mystic or a "spontaneous" one, in both cases enlightenment is always an act of divine grace. The human self/ego is never capable on its own steam, nor deserving, of enlightenment. Enlightenment is for the benefit of the true Self or Christ-Self that we are innately. It is incidental that the human self may benefit along the way. Note that we awaken TO the true Self we are, not to our human self. Contrarily, we awaken FROM humanhood.

@mysticoversoul I agree that it's all divine grace. God doesn't care about our conscious efforts. Whatever shortcomings you see in ET, I think we should be extremely grateful for having him as an example.

@winstono75 -- No one should take his/her ego seriously. You are right there.

From my experience, it's difficult to genuinely be in communion with God when you reduce him to a conviction or even an idea. There is nothing wrong with belief systems in the sense that they are part of our evolution. However, they are a product of ego and therefor are bound to dissolve.

"Connectedness" connotes a duality, i.e., (1) God and (2) the person connecting to God. That is not pure mysticism. Yup, it is a pseudo-mysticism. Pure mysticism is nondualistic.
mysticoversoul 9 months ago
@mysticoversoul Well he's actually not talking about an external connectedness. There is no duality evolved because (1) is intrinsic to (2). This of coarse wont make sense to you if you hold the idea of "God" as a personal entity. Tolle isn't talking about the religious or mystical image of God (as a supernatural external force) which is why it doesn't fall into the category of mysticism. He does not teach a supernatural new-age type of connectedness but rather an inner-connectedness.
mayhemnecrobutcher 9 months ago
@mayhemnecrobutcher: I think we have different understandings of mysticism (and what's mystical). Any "connectedness" implies a prior state of separation or sense of separateness; hence, the need to "connect." True mysticism connotes quintessential "oneness" in which there is actually nothing to "connect." Check out my "contemplatingtruth" blog site at WordPress-dot-com to learn about true mysticism.
