Big Foot Wallace was an early Texas pioneer.
A Texan who is a generous and repeat donor despite his modest income wrote me yesterday on VK:
I want to visit and I’m trying to figure out how to make it work with my obligations here. I think you are onto something major, and you will be heard. It will shake up the world. Half will go back to sleep. The rest will never forget you. It will be enough to matter greatly.
January 10
Too many on your planet suffer from privations—of food, shelter, basic safety. This is all as it was likely meant to be, but it is also a burden on the souls of those of you who live in wealth and prosperity of all sorts. Each has chosen their own path, their lifetime’s work and the conditions necessary to perform it.
But even as you are looking within yourself and your community to accomplish the work you came here to do, there are waves of suffering from other parts of your world that wash over you, that affect you.
For this reason, it is good—every once in awhile—to turn your attention to those who have chosen to incarnate and grow spiritually via a life of poverty, hunger or pain.
Turn your attention to these fellow travelers with great compassion and love, with wishes that their way not be more difficult or that their suffering not be greater than it need be.
Today is the day to send to them all the healing energies you usually lavish upon yourself, your loved ones and those you serve here,
in your own neighborhood.
We ask you to do this because it is needed now—for all. The greatest benefit will accrue to you, but you can be certain that your efforts will help those toward whom they are directed as well.
As you send all of your healing intent, all your prayers and wishes and energetic movements for a lessening of suffering toward others around the planet who need it most, you will receive in turn many gifts of healing and wisdom.
You will fully experience the oneness you all share regardless of demographics, beliefs and circumstances. In feeling the oneness, you will be able not only to fill yourself with that charge, but also to reinforce its reality on the planet.
So please, set aside your regular practices today, whether they be formal or casual, and give all the energy you would normally pour into them to those living with war, hunger, disease and other forms of violence.
Since there is only ONE, you will be feeding, soothing and healing yourself as well.
There is much that is changing all around you for the good. The underlying structures are being reconfigured and fortified so that a new way of being will be possible. You are seeing signs of this new way all around, yet at present they are still scattered and without the power to transform the status quo. We see beneath the surface, and we see that the foundations necessary for a huge cascade of change are almost completed.
The outward manifestations of the shift that has been in process for many years are nearly upon you. Be glad, be courageous and be generous because you are that light which has been long awaited.
Many blessings.

……Tolle on Sufi wisdom: “I feel very peaceful, also from listening to Eckhart about this, so very peaceful inside”
In the Mideast, after the Muslim conquest, one had to become a Muslim or be enslaved or beheaded. So various religious movements, such as the Sufis, the Druze (many of whom racially are white with light hair, skin and eyesm, and preach reincarnation) and Syrian president Assad’s tribal group, outwardly submitted to warlike, intolerant Islam, but quietly kept their own peaceful and friendly teachings, and tried with some success, by being very careful and paying lip service to Mohammed and Allah, to avoid provoking the regular Muslim masses, for whom “apostasy” (leaving Islam) meant any muslim could and should put you to death.
.
One group that has tried to preach true values without being massacred was/is the Sufis of Persia/Iran.
Eckhart Tolle did a great video on them in 2003, and I walked for over an hour on the snowy roads of Ontonagon listening to it (while armed and vigilant as ever).
Yyu can see formthe comments bleo how much peole are getitngout of this. If it still seems like gobbledygook, then, well, your first beer or whiskey seemed weird too, or your first smoke, or even sex for the first few times. 😉 And so did the swastika and Hitler, if you really think back….They horrified you! 😉

“Beyond all thoughts of right or wrong is a field [=consciousness]; I will meet you there”. Thank you, Eckhart. Wonderful talk.

Beautiful. We must look at all religions and take the shamanic qualities from them all. The Persian Empire was magnificent in its teachers. I believe each religion has a key to the All. We must cut out the obvious bastardisations and demonisations of each other, that have been woven into all religions to pervert, discriminate and separate us, each from the other. The satanic leaders who control and suppress us. “There are many paths that lead to God” — Rumi
One day soon, we will stand together in the name of faith. 💞🙏
I was brought up Christian, but as I grew up I shunned it. It made no sense, and it wasn’t kind and gentle as I was taught as a child. I have now come back as I find it is a book of the mind; it is quantum physics. We must join these knowledges if we are to ascend 💞Beautiful… God bless all my brothers and sisters all over the world.. 🙏 and it is done.

Eckhart is a real Sufi who has imbibed Sufism from all transcendental spheres of all the great religions, traditions and philosophies and he is now transmitting it and inspiring others.

I’ve loved the Sufi teachings since the early 1970s. Total flow with Zen, with Silent Quakers, and with Taoism, all of which were and are on my path still.

This is the second clip where I have seen E. Tolle talks about Sufism. The other one is just brief sentences. This full clip you maybe won’t see in YouTube. It’s a hidden jewel somewhere. Reason ? It could be deliberate. Tolle here clears up misunderstandings about Islam, but in subtle ways. Sufism has affected many philosophers and seekers of truth other than the common Muslims. It’s great that we see a Master Teacher acknowledging that. The other Master was Osho. Osho even taught the Sufism breathwork and meditations.

This is a precious gift and after giving it so lovingly Eckhart says “Thank you for being with me — and for being with yourself.” Speechless.

Of all the long, countless and continuously fanatical animosities and crimes against Sufis in the entirety of history, one particular crime stands out. And that’s the hanging of a wandering, humble, legendary Sufi master called * Mansour Hallaj * which brutally took place in 922 A.D.
His story and being have become the symbols of love, sacrifice, humility, courage, compassion, truth and resistance against bigotry and ignorance. You cannot go through any poetry books without seeing lines beautifully praising him, including in Hafiz and Rumi. He has been and continues to be the symbol of love and of the injustices committed against Sufis. I urge interested listeners here to search for more info about this wonderful being !

While in deep meditation I was brought to Sufism after setting my intention for purpose. I’ve studied nearly every religion really besides Islam. Sufism felt like an itch that I never wanted to scratch. After much research, I see that it is incredibly pure and beautiful.

Hafiz is Vishnu the Preserver. I had the good fortune to have a Sufi mentor.
He taught me of Buddha, Christ, KRISHNA…. he saw what was in them for me. He taught me this is what to see in everyone.
Unfortunately I’m still learning.
Thank you Eckhart. You bring us home.
This article reminded me of an article on Jihadwatch that I wanted your opinion on. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/12/the-quran-teaches-that-all-human-beings-are-equal-race-part-iii It claims that Muhammad was white according to the hadith and that heaven will be full of white faces. I have read your articles about Islam; but my grandfather is a Muslim (that side of my family is Iranian), and I know a lot of Muslims who like white people so I find it a little difficult to believe that Islam is all just white genocide. I also found out a while back that Rudolf von Sebottendorff (founder of NSDAP) practised Sufism and even wrote a book about it. According to some Sufi masters, Sufism predates Islam so I have a theory that Islam grew out of Sufism instead of vice versa as is commonly believed; I also have a theory that Jewish banksters funded the Islamic conquest of India.
About Tolle, I started listening to him recently, and I’m liking what I’m hearing so far. However, he’s started promoting A Course in Miracles; I’ve read some of it, and I have very mixed feelings about it. Have you read A Course in Miracles, and if so, what did you think of it?
