  • tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday history but NOW is a gift ( that's why it's called the present)

  • DRAMA. It's as powerful a word as it is an emotion. I see many people hooked on their own personal dramas because they actually prefer to live in emotional pain, therefore, feeding their ego. Every one of us will follow the path which feeds our ego... and this is exactly what Eckhart is pointing out. It answers why so many people stay in bad relationships... because it gives them an excuse to play 'poor me' in front of others. Feeds the ego. Puts the spotlight on them. This is not rocket science

  • @goddessdownhere  hehe!

  • This is truly miraculous. Because science says that when listening or watching another human being in pain or express pain, the brain ought to react with similar emotions - feel the pain vicariously. If Eckhart is unable to do that then it must mean there has been a real transformation in the way he sees the passing forms.

  • If i get stuck around people who are obsessed with their drama ..they wear me out .. they force you to go along with it .. I find they dont let you stay calm.

  • haha too funny! His work seems to put you back together instead of being split up and fragmented.

  • i loved this video.

  • I understand empathy and compassion is a need to support others who grieve. A genuine smile to show your feelings toward the other at that present moment is a gesture of love and connection.

  • hmm... so what about empathy and compassion? do we need to eradicate these concepts then or is there space for empathy and smile? - how to distinguish a smile coming from the feeling of superiority and a smile coming from presence?

  • Eckart and Jesus would have been good friends. Who knows, maybe they are.

    Someone mentioned Lester Levenson who was my first experience in this awakening and a marvelous teacher. He said " Don't believe in Jesus, believe AS Jesus." that always made more sense to me.

  • he reminds me of a real life yoda, awesome.
