The entire universe is one connected thing; if you can feel it, you can feel compassion for self and other beings
December 12
Today is a day for compassion. For others who are suffering, of course, but for yourself as well. It may feel as if there is a great deal of pain and heartbreak today, and you may find yourself responding to that.
On the other hand, you may neither see in others nor experience in yourself the conditions that tend to call forth compassion. Even so, this day will offer you the opportunity to reach more deeply into that part of your heart which knows how to love and to care than is often the case.
And the benefits of your compassion will be farther reaching than they might be ordinarily.
Look for the Oneness in every moment today. It will be easy to find. Ask to be a channel of compassion and love.
Allow your heart to open as fully as it is able. Try to perceive and receive the universal flow of compassion that is constantly available to you in both easy times and hard.
Trust in your heart’s wisdom and follow its dictates today. You will not be steered wrong.
We love you in this and in every moment.
Blessings.
…..Eckhart Tolle on compassion
If you can shut down your perpetual thoughts to enjoy nature….
…or play with a dog….This bulldog came up to me on Ontoang beach (photo by Margi) and showered me with licks and affection. I had to laugh and rejoice in his sheer spontaneity. Was this dog “thinking” about anything? Of course not. he was “in the moment,” feeling the wonderful power of the now.
So then how about enjoying humans without any mental chit-chat, with no stream of mental thinking? Just ENJOY!

Some YouTube comments under this video, and if you still think Tolle is just empty nothings, read them. People are going from chaos to peace and strength. This is how we will beat the jews, by perfect cooperation and total self-sacrifice, being freed from our ego.
This is the only way we can win this daunting war against jewry, given that our white nations have so degenerated that they are 30% crooks and 60% cowards! We can with this with the remaining 10% if they are enlightened, solid, stable, loyal, reliable, and feel brotherly love for one another and empathy for the horribly suffering, utterly misled white masses!

I could listen to him talk for hours and hours. I listed to A New Earth and it just changed me entirely. I often have to re-listen to the audio book and the calmness in his voice I find incredibly grounding. The first time I listened to it, there were parts were I physically had streams of tears just run down my face… breakthroughs… but I often find that I need to re-live those breakthroughs. Otherwise, they become old and stale, somehow, sadly. The conditioning of everything we have been taught since childhood is WAY too strong. This is the way to peace and happiness. Much love to all. <3

herokee heritage and am proud to take my son with me on our walks in the woods I play this and it calms our spirit. It is easy to lose touch with our roots in modern society when we unplug we return to that part of our spirit that’s connected to the earth. I am in recovery and spent 15 years as a heroin addict in and out of jail and eventually went to prison for my drug addiction. I learned a lot of self reliance but it was the connection to the earth and other people that I missed so terribly. I was incarcerated in a place where I didn’t see sunlight let alone go outside for 6 months and it was the most invigorating experience to have some sort of freedom again when I went to prison I was eventually able to walk outside even if it was on a compound and see animals again. I was reprimanded for feeding the geese and groundhogs that would wander onto the grounds. The prison guards would throw rocks at them while we tried to feed them. I have straightened out my life after the birth of my son but it would be a lie if I said I haven’t slipped since his birth I haven’t had a relapse since April of this year and everyday I fight to maintain my sobriety and freedom for my son. Alcohol and drug addiction has ravaged our people since colonization and it affects every culture there is. For me it has taken much from my life in terms of relationships, friends and ability to care for myself. I’m unsure why I am writing all of this as I find the need to tell my story as if it was unique, I want to let you know if you take time to read this and know someone who is struggling if not yourself that there is hope. That there is so much beauty in the world beyond our own struggle. Your never alone. I care about you and know that the earth does also. Take care of her too, she needs us.

About 20 minutes in when he was talking about spiritual awakenings, I suddenly started to grin, then smile, then a huge smile, and I started tearing up. I got this feeling in the middle of my chest that felt as if someone was pushing down on it (but in the inside). Very intense feeling I don’t know what that was.

13:08 Dimension of thinking and dimension of awareness… every thought is a thought form, we believe it is us… with the big Self this is about the experience of your mind and body (your home).
20:06 You can’t let yourself out of prison if you don’t realize you’re in prison…when the habitual and unconscious compulsive labeling no longer operates, that is where compassion lies of ourselves
53:00 The step you make this moment is the most important thing you can do
56:00 Make an activity an end to itself
1:23:00 I could focus on my breath instead of being in my thoughts…

57:30 – when talking about waiting. I noticed after my awakening I was amazingly calm when driving my car. Observing the chaos around me. The impatience. Realising that this moment simply is. I cannot change the traffic. I cannot get to my destination any faster than the general flow of traffic, so I may as well enjoy the moment. I turned my music off so I could use all my senses. I realised that the road users were reflecting their emotions through their driving manner. I arrived at work in a completely calm manner. Fully at one with everything.

Thanks for this platform. I used to think all sages and teachers are all in history and had wept a fortnight when I realized I missed 10 years of meeting J Krishnamurti. Now I realized there are so many sages/teachers everywhere. Eckhart is like a Corpus Callosum cell that unites the pragmatic (Yan) and yielding (Yin) cultures of the East and West hemispheres, a function that’s so needed for our awakening humanity. He is my fat Buddha, and I so enjoy his humor and humility. There is another very awakened teacher, Thomas Campbell, that’s more on the scientific side but equally inspiring. Wonder if you consider inviting him and spread the Truth? Keep up the good works!

My “separation” came at age 12. I had attempted suicide twice by then. I realized I must ultimately parent myself throughout my life, in other words, save myself. There was the person who experienced trauma, and the other self, who became the caregiver. I have not yet achieved peace, but I have survived bad circumstances, and certainly become more spiritual.

It happened to me in May of 1986, I had “woke up” or better yet came to out of another black out. I’m in my “drunk” chair on another sick Monday morning. I’m covered in blood where I had fallen on my face and broke my two front teeth and had cut my lip in the process. As a last resort I had been holding the thought of a treatment center in my mind, not really wanted to quit drinking but knowing something had to change! So I find myself in a 30 day program, going to meetings and classes not really participating just sort of hanging out.
In the meantime my lip had swollen up because I had a chip of tooth in it so they took me to a dentist. The receptionist hands me a first time patient form and I’m beboping along answering questions, yes no yes yes then I get to a question that stopped me…. are you being treated by a doctor now! I contemplate this question for a period of time, maybe 5 or 10 seconds and I finally answered yes. Of course the next question was WHAT FOR!!! After another pregnant pause I wrote down alcoholism!!!
I felt a presence somewhere inside of me jump for joy and shout YES… finally! I tingled all over and felt a warm feeling go all through my body, the best way I can describe it was that it felt like I pee’ed in my britches! My eyes watered up and the rest of the day was a great feeling. I haven’t had nor desired a drink since, I go to bars now if the wife wants to or if I’m by myself I will sit at the bar and eat. The desire for alcohol was taken from me in that split second!

Oh my goodness. Your may 1986 sounds like what happened to me just a few days ago. Blacked out drunk, smashed my face and now after owning a relatively attractive face (according to feedback) I now sport a permanent scar down the side of my face.
Literally 12 hours ago after waking up in a full blown panic attack….I feel that a 5 year unhappy cycle is coming to a close.
I’m finally turning the corner and releasing the drugs and drink that have, at some point or another, dominated my life. Sorry but your story shocked me to the core in how much it resonates with me. I was born in 1985 🙂

I literally never thought I’d find a reason to stop destroying myself. I’m now (since my panic attack wake up freak out thus morning) I’m now peaceful in the realisation that I’M REASON ENOUGH to stop. I never ever considered that before lol
