Eckhart Tolle 🦋💚🦋CONSCIOUS MANIFESTATION

welcome all of you on youtube facebook live for the first time we've had a few technical difficulties so i'm a little bit late that was a great opportunity for of course for you to be present in the moment and let's continue that before we start and perhaps look at few questions concerning conscious manifestation let's just take a moment and become aware of the present moment vitally important in any endeavor that you undertake no matter what it is is not to lose your connectedness with the present moment so before you start a new enterprise a new activity always go to take a moment for awareness basically that's what it is uh sometimes people ask well what is the present moment how how do you be where is it what does it even mean to become aware of the present moment and the first thing of course is that you become aware of whatever surrounds you that's the entry point into the present moment a very easy entry point into present moment awareness some people may call it mindfulness is to become more aware of whatever surrounds you here and now sense perceptions just be with what is give it attention some attention the room you're sitting in maybe there's a window you can look out of the window you can see trees behind me i can't see them i know they're there this is you enter the present moment by more aware of sense perceptions auditory visual and perhaps others and of course what that does you might notice is there is less mental noise the voice in the head that speaks and speaks that talks to you that you have a dialogue with a monologue that comments and interprets and takes positions mental positions it identifies with likes dislikes yes no never stops talking that's the mind the the voice in the head that most people are completely identified with and that means they are not present so the first step is take some attention away from that by simply becoming aware of sense perceptions and if you can look at something natural that's even better because a natural thing a tree a flower a plant the sky a natural thing lends itself to a present moment awareness more than a man-made human-made thing so anything natural that you can look at for a moment focus on and give it attention acknowledge it you don't need to think about it so it's just become aware of the present moment through sensory perception and already if you can do that if perhaps a few minutes before you were very much immersed in the problem making mind it wasn't actually solving any problem because this continuous mind activity actually creates more problem than it solves if it's not focused it's unconscious so already suddenly there's a certain amount of peace that descends upon this the world your world it becomes a bit more peaceful you become aware of the aliveness of things and then the next step for present moment awareness is you become aware of yourself now that's very important too because that's the foundation for the entire world whatever the world that you experience you experience it through yourself so and whatever you manifest in this world you manifest through yourself now what does it mean to become aware of yourself no you might be tempted to think that you start thinking about your life you and your life and of course that's very problematic your past your future or you can think about things that you identify with the huge problems the world is facing but that's not becoming aware of yourself becoming aware of yourself is something more vital something deeper than being aware of your historical self all your memories or your expectations for the future so none of that is really becoming aware of yourself because those are thoughts you become aware of the simple fact that you are here as a conscious presence that's very much inextricably linked with what we call the present moment now this may seem strange at first you be becoming aware of yourself as a conscious presence no need to remember who you are beyond the fact that you are becoming aware of the i am-ness of yourself for those of you who haven't never heard of this it might seem a little strange become aware that even if you do not remember your past at all your who you are as a historical person what is left of you if you do not remember who you are as a historical person if you don't think about yourself what's left is a certain inner spaciousness opens up that replaces the usual activity of continuous mental noise thinking a spacious awareness opens up and you cannot say much about it you can't analyze it you're simply aware that you are that there is a presence that is inseparable from who you are there's also a stillness there that's part of that presence but it's not in a sleep stillness it's not the stillness that you find when you're getting tired it's an alert stillness and that is the core of what we call present moment awareness so you're not really aware of the present moment because the awareness is the present moment beyond sense perceptions that was a starting point and then you go deeper you simply become aware of yourself as consciousness they still alert presence there's a lot more one could say about it but this is just our starting point for today the important thing is once you have had even a glimpse of it as much as possible reconnect with that as you go about your daily life as you are engaged in activities as you speak to people interact with people as you interact with people on media social media etc as much as possible reconnect and have find these moments of alert stillness alert still presence and that becomes then the foundation for everything you do and that's that another word for that is spiritual awakening you you're now you're spiritually awakened begins with little just just a glimpse of awareness of yourself the the awareness that there's something deeper in you than the person with its history that awareness is a direct realization it is not something that is conceptual that frees you from what we call the ego which is all the conditioning of your mental emotional field all the things you identify with and then you derive your sense of who you are from a deeper place within and that's an enormous liberation and then you can operate in this world in a much more effective way and you can operate in this world in a way that is much more beneficial [Music] for yourself and humanity you can then from that foundation we can talk about manifestation if you manifest from that foundation rather than manifest from the usual sense of identity that is exclusively derived from the ego which is the thinking mind the narrative that most people identify with as me that's me and the narrative of me is partly personal and partly collective these are energy streams that that what we call thought are energy formations that are invisible and these energy formations are like could be compared to ripples on the surface of being that's the thought activity and humans who have no awareness of this deeper dimension they are trapped on the level of the surface level of the movement of energy forms that we call thoughts and emotions so that's your mind is and whatever happens in your mind is conditioned by your surroundings and by your past so-called past so humans are literally possessed in the absence of awareness they are literally possessed by the thought forms that go through their mind and so they can they are partly as i say partly personal partly collective and sometimes they are relatively harmless and at other times they can be like a viral infection on a mental level and you don't even know what's happening to you when violent mass movements happen uh human unconsciousness expressing itself collectively through violence uh that means humans are at the mercy completely possessed by these energy formations that have taken possession of them and they don't even know it sometimes you know it in the past some you perhaps all know perhaps even from your own experience how sometimes one thought can take possession of your mind and it refuses to go away and it proliferates it creates other related thoughts in your mind and you suddenly become obsessive with something and some people live like that they have they are in possessed by one particular mind form and they interpret the entire world through the screen of that mindfulness and everything suddenly they have an explanation for everything because everything is interpreted through that screen sometimes it's a mental illness it gets close to mental illness when you have feel paranoid and so on and everybody suddenly becomes your enemy so you free yourself from that ultimately without awareness thinking can even good things in your mind can very quickly turn become amplified and turn it into something very unconscious and destructive so always returning to that deeper dimension let's start with the first question let's see um when it comes to conscious manifestation my interest at this point is not in manifesting anything for myself personally but in wanting to help manifest a world that is more peaceful and just for everyone can how you teach conscious manifestation help with that good question relevant manifesting a world that is more just i think that was the word they were more peaceful and just for everyone well that would be a it's a good um aim now ultimately of course what you experience as the world is intrinsically one with your consciousness the only place where you experience the world is in your consciousness philosophers have even questioned whether there actually is a world out there independent of conscious perception we don't need to go there but there's no doubt that the entire world happens inside you one could say you don't know what you see or the eyes transmit the senses transmit becomes nerve impulses that are sent to the brain and that's just on the physical level and then these nerve impulses are decoded and then some kind of words and appears within you but what is what to what extent that corresponds to a world out there we don't even know so to change the world to you so you look at the world uh to some in some way you could almost say go as far as to say what you're actually looking at is a reflection in the external in the world of form of your state of consciousness you could say uh it's an interesting way to look at it and the state of consciousness is partly your there is your personal world and there is a collective world so the two are they are connected but they're not the same because first of all there is what you experience as a world in your personal life all the people you habitually interact with where you live your surroundings it starts with simple things like even the objects that surround you habitually where you live so the your world is your your personal your relationships with humans that you live with uh your relationships with other humans that you meet every day casually or that the way you work the people you work with so all these things your personal life so called life is one sphere that you move in and the important thing is not to neglect that in search of a better collective world the two are related but to come to disregard this it's a mistake that is often made to disregard your personal sphere with your the world that is immediately accessible to you as your you and your life the people in your life where you live all that your work to neglect that it's very seductive to think there's so much wrong with the world out there the collective that's really what i should be concerned with because there's so much wrong out there you can see it you just have to turn on the you turn on some kind of device whether it's television or that brings you the news and the commentaries continuous stream and then of course that is already that is the collective world that then enters your living room or wherever you are and then they get mixed up they can obliterate the collective can obliterate your personal life and you think your personal life is quite irrelevant now because what really matters the world needs to change it's so dreadful [Music] well yes the world needs to change and the world is changing because humanity is a work in progress humanity is slowly evolving fits and starts and regressed regressive periods it takes a few steps forward and then a few steps four steps forward three steps back then if you move forward there's a gradual evolution of humanity and to focus only on what is going wrong within that process that evolutionary process is also very misleading because that's what you see when you watch the media and so on it focuses not on what's going right or what has gone right it focuses on what's going wrong then you give that more and more attention by giving attention to something you amplify it so whatever you give now i'm not saying to completely ignore the world no but to give it an excessive amount of attention and only continuously think about what's wrong with the world then you forget what's right with the world and that then diminishes so we have the the external world coming into your living room for example through the media and it can be as i said you can sometimes uh believe that your personal world the your immediate sphere of influence is israelite is is irrelevant but that's not the case so the the starting point with changing the world is to become aware of how you operate in this world the starting point is how do you relate to the humans in your life how do you what is the what your mind what is your mind doing what is your predominant state of consciousness what are your predominant emotions what are your the predominant thoughts that go through your mind it's vitally important to become aware of that if you're not aware of what the predominant emotions are that the predominant thoughts are plus accompanying emotions that go through your mind you are unaware and the the emotions that the thoughts and emotions that arise continuously within you are a form of conditioning and so they take possession of you so it's vitally important as the starting point for changing the world is to become aware of your world your the how do you operate in this world how are your relationships uh is there a lot of antagonism is there uh their grievances and a lot of conflict um are there many people that you hate are there more people that you like who love is there love compassion or not so much how do you relate to people how do you relate to strangers that you meet in a shop in the store how do you relate to somebody you meet in an elevator how all these things are part of what you manifest as your world so it's how do you manage what is the predominant energy that you manifest in your life that affects other humans that is a very important starting point that of course is expressed in the famous saying be the change that you want to see in this world nobody knows who actually said that some people say gandhi said it he could have said it uh but he probably said something similar i don't think he said that literally but it doesn't matter it's a it's a it's a very important pointer a very important thought be the change that you want to see in the world so change starts with you and that means your consciousness your state of consciousness um what is become aware of your mind what is uh how much complaining do you do useless complaining not a no not a sort of complaining that can actually bring about change but useless complaining about other people and groups of people and uh pronouncing half of humanity to be evil whatever it is be aware of your mind um vitally important what kinds of thoughts are there and once you the ability to become aware of your mind what kinds of thoughts your mind is producing once that grows that means there's more awareness in you there's more presence in you another dimension of consciousness has arisen so be conscious how do you what do you bring into this world on a daily basis do you bring more loving kindness compassion with other humans empathy a friendly a kind word even to strangers to do do you acknowledge every other human being human being that you meet even even if you meet them only casually do you acknowledge the being of that human beyond the entire beyond what role this human play plays within that brief interaction somebody sells you something you're asking somebody for information whatever it may be so are you do you acknowledge the beingness of the other if only for a few seconds giving it a tension see there is beyond the personality there's something deeper do you briefly update do you can you sense the the being that ultimately means the sacredness of other of every human no matter what their personality displays next question is observe are you at the mercy of how other people behave around you do you react or are you at the mercy also of situations or circumstances but now what do i mean when i say at the mercy of it means that somebody is angry at you somebody's the world is full of people who are very angry and frustrated they may perhaps they are justified in being angry because life is difficult so one can always justify anger and frustration and grievances of course every all the on the conventional level often these things are justified but what now what do you you meet somebody who's angry says something angered your drug driving for example somebody shouts at you what how do you are you aware enough not to be drawn into the same energy that the other person manifests are you able to simply stay clear and present not easy so how do you but you can only change the world is by not react reacting in the same way in which the world impinges upon you or treats you through through humans so you have to be more aware than that and so that's your the world changes when your state of consciousness is no longer determined by other people's state of consciousness that you may meet or no that's that really is a big change already if your state of your mental emotional state is no longer determined by somebody else's mental emotional state that's a huge awakening and there because as long as your emotional state mental emotion state is determined by other somebody else's mental emotional state that you in eastern terms it means it's a perpetuation of karma [Music] so there's no freedom in that so you can if someone is nice to you you're nice to him or her okay but if somebody is not nice to you what happens jesus was talking about something similar it's easy to be nice to someone jesus said this is a big paraphrase because i don't remember literal passages or from the bible she said it's easy to be nice to others who are nice to you but what about those that are not nice to you that's what really matters it doesn't mean of course if you become a doormat or you don't if nothing to do with that in fact there's a great inner power and strength that arises when when you're no longer continuously reactive that is really weakness so if you become angry when somebody's angry at you the ego regards this as power you have compensated for feeling of having been diminished by somebody's attack verbal attack or criticism the ego feels diminished to me sometimes it happens when i drive because i'm relatively slow most of the time and sometimes people shout at me and say you idiot okay that's and then i look at them now they're expecting me to shout back but i don't do that anymore it's happened too often so it's too unpleasant i don't need it i don't feel diminished by somebody saying you idiot it's just that's his or her state of consciousness manifesting through words at the moment that's so fine and then they just look at them and sometimes they become even more disconcerted because there's a lack of reaction or they might think i'm completely deaf maybe i'm deaf i can't hear what they're saying just a little example but it's amazing for example how traffic it's a simple thing can make people unconscious so the moment they get behind the wheel they become reactive and unconscious and take everything personally so it can be funny it's good sometimes if you can laugh at the ego but if you want to change the world you have to start with yourself what what is it that you emanate it's not only what you emanate through words and actions it's even what you emanate energetically every human being if you are a little bit sensitive then you can sense that every human being has a certain energy emanation that's part of manifesting the world that you experience because you see it through the lens or the veil of all the conditioning within you the mental emotional and even energetic conditioning within you so you can you meet people who are you can sense that they are in a state of unhappiness it's a generic term that could be in many things they are in a state of ultimately suffering because even the person who is angry is really suffering they don't know their suffering but it's an unpleasant state and it affects the body uh it it that's that kind of stress that anger represents affects the harmonious function of the body the immune system the heart it's blood circulation everything so it's not it's not only not ultimately not pleasant it's harmful first example to your body example to other human beings unless they are immune and so if they are immune to the negative emanation from another human being now you can't do that through a vaccine that's the kind of immunity that that can alter that immunity is awareness presence so you are not at the mercy of other humans you are freed you may not succeed every time because humans can be very difficult not you just other humans so humans can be really difficult and you might have noticed when you are interacting with humans and you have discussions another interesting fact you might notice that you are always right and the others are always wrong it's a very strange fact um and if that's the case in your life you have to wonder for a moment this isn't that strange i'm always right wow i must be superman or superwoman or you're very unconscious it's one or the other so self self knowledge is the most difficult knowledge uh jesus was already talking about that he said um it's easy to see the splinter that is in somebody else's eye and says look at the splinter in your eye let me remove it for you but you can't see the beam that is in your own eye that's a huge thing it's in you but you you see the what's wrong with the other that's easy and wrong means unconscious but to see your own patterns that's a challenge but if you don't you cannot manifest because that is the starting point for manifesting a better world and then it spreads out from there so the the it's through the essence of what i'm saying here is become conscious of the fact that often you are at the mercy of other people or situations and your state of mind or your emotional state is completely controlled and reactive so it's so i mentioned human beings that you react to you when you know it's also situations you find yourself in a situation that is suddenly regarded as undesirable you are and and that is nowadays very common thing because many people for months have been trapped at home and can't interact with people anymore except through the technology so many many limitations have arisen in people's lives of collective kind millions of people experiencing the same limitations of course some are affected much by that much more than others but yes to also not just reacting to humans but reacting to situations that regard it as of limiting frustrating and so on can you rise above situations also and become free of that reactivity that for example the continuous complaining in your mind about what's wrong with the world some people continuously claim what's wrong with the world others com complain more from what's wrong with their life and that's a very seductive thing because uh the ego likes that it it inflates the ego if you complain about other people you experience an ego inflation why because the ego feels itself to be superior when it can complain about others it's implied you are having you're a judge of the other and you you pronounce the other as delinquent insufficient not good enough or bad wanting in the old sense of the word very seductive to experience ego inflation and all that as you away conspiracy become more free of this reactivity then what the words you speak the actions you take in your immediate surroundings make the world a better place you and you break the karmic chain which is action reaction action reaction some people who are who come into this world uh into a very dysfunctional family environment and there are millions of people who are born into a very dysfunctional family environment and it's a huge huge challenge because if you are if you're not given enough love or attention you're not encouraged as a child if that is missing in your early years it is a huge a huge burden or dysfunction that you carry in many cases for the rest of your life and in many cases you inflict the same thing on your children that the your parents have inflicted on you there has not been enough consciousness to break the pattern so these things are those patterns that we inherit it's only through waking up [Music] so becoming aware that these patterns can be transcended that is our task here and that's how you make the world a better place you have to the dysfunctional patterns in your own life you have to look at them in terms and i know many people have had very dysfunctional upbringing and then have suffered enormously because they were forced to because of their unconsciousness not enough awareness they were forced to re-enact the same patterns that they experienced up and then they more so in that day you bring more suffering into this world are you bringing more suffering into this world or are you bringing healing into this world healing is not weakness healing is power so you have to seriously ask yourself next question in your world what do you do with the internet when when you social media what is the quality of the nature of your interactions with other humans that you most cases have never met so you don't need you don't they don't know them as humans they are just abstract symbols on the screen they have expressed an opinion and what how do they've expressed your opinion that seems to conflict with your opinion and suddenly this in this unconscious reactivity this human whom you don't know have never met you only know him or her through certain statements on twitter and suddenly this you treat this you this uh other human being as a some kind of demon it's and it gets it happens millions of times is that creating a better world and the the the twitter well i the twitter world is showing increasing signs of insanity so it's an externalization of the human mind you see oh there it is there's it's good to it's wonderful you can see it before it was all in here now you can actually see it on your screen there's the craziness of the human mind well that's helpful it's good to be able to see it it's an externalization of the collective mind before we invented this technology all humans could do is what they can shout at somebody in the street but you can only reach one or two or three people or you could just well maybe you could stand on the soapbox in hyde park corner in london and give a speech but even then you only had a few people listening to you but now even the most unconscious person will have an audience he he or she will interact similarly unconscious people on twitter and other platforms and so as you know one wrong tweet can destroy your entire career [Laughter] so this is the certain the the every age in every age time period uh human unconsciousness manifests in somewhat different ways and it's easier when you look back on the past age we can see oh where are they crazy to do something like that how could humans do something like that it's it's more difficult to become aware of the craziness in your own time period because you're in the middle of it retrospectively it's easier to see the craziness so you make sure to create a better world they do not participate in the craziness of this world to be very don't be at the mercy of others as twice your state of consciousness is concerned and you can only do that by being present more and more always connecting with that alertness a very key word be alert so that you know what's going on in your mind and in your emotion don't repress anything just know and that will gradually dissolve dysfunctional patterns and you still feel drawn back in that's fine so this is the beginning of changing the world on your personal sphere and then if you can then interact through the media various internet platforms you can put out something that is more beneficial then you already begin to affect a larger sphere you have a lot everybody has a sphere of influence through these platforms here and what is it what what do you put out through your sea of influence so there's a great opportunity for something that in many many cases is is quite insane but it is also a great opportunity for for actually help to elevate human consciousness so that is your great opportunity uh no matter how you do it and then we come to the larger sphere political social institutions and so on how do you how do you change that how do you how do you diminish the suffering of so many humans on the planet well you could you continue to no longer contribute to the suffering of others so to some extent you have to allow humans to evolve humanity is evolving the consciousness of humanity is evolving and it is it's vitally important to bring healing and compassion and so on to all your interactions whether at home or online or wherever you go and if you want to participate in political discourse maybe you want to stand to run for office somewhere who knows you need to be really conscious if you decide to do that and you may feel called upon to do that and then it becomes you've already in your own personal life you're already practicing not being reactive not being at the mercy of other people's state of consciousness and then you can bring that into the that's wider weight greater sphere of political structures and so on if that's what you choose to do but you also need to realize that humanity is as i said before is a work in progress so humans are slowly evolving into towards more consciousness the entire universe is in the is engaged in an awakening process and you are part of the awakening process of the universe you can see it on the the planet how gradually from very simple life forms gradually grew became more complex then they were destroyed there were many five or five extinctions already then they were destroyed and new life forms arose from well where did they arise from from an underlying field of vast intelligence that that then manifests through physical forms gradually manifests more fully gradually manifests in more complex life forms that have more more great greater share of consciousness but it's always the one consciousness moving through so have compassion with humans a lot of the suffering that humans experience is created by other humans just read history a history book and you see how dreadful suffering humans have inflicted on other humans throughout history 20th century alone we've now become very much the last few at present time very much conscious of racial suffering that humans have suffered from tremendous suffering that humans inflicted on other humans and it's great that we've become aware of it now instead of before just the it was just nobody could talk about it it was told no throughout history slavery was an accepted fact that nobody seemed to question it consciousness had not yet developed enough but now consciousness is developing and we become aware of it and it's a wonderful thing uh as long as the water rises doesn't isn't it's there there's sometimes the danger that even realizations can be hijacked by the ego so to speak and when you know that something has been hijacked by the ego is when you demonize others for example because the ego loves to demonize others so be very careful with it's very so that you don't you get direct into the the gravitational pull of the ego uh drags you back into unconsciousness we living at a time that's very challenging but also time of opportunity nobody can predict right now whether we're going to experience a regression in state of consciousness every regression in the evolution of consciousness is actually part of the evolution of consciousness or if we can go from here straight to a more conscious society more conscious world but humans have to go through this evolutionary process and not every human is at the same stage of evolutionary uh evolved in development you have to be compassionate with people who are not yet evolving they could be your parents if you you become compassionate with when you go to your you visit your parents and they have trapped in the same patterns that they were already 20 years ago and the same they criticize you in the same way they always do and you realize they are trapped in their in their patterns and you have compassion and you allow humans to go through their patterns and if in some cases you even have to allow humans who insist to go through their own self-created suffering you do as much as you can to help to bring more awareness into this world to bring love ultimately not not conventional love but the deeper the love that that recognizes every other human as inseparable from who you are to recognize the other as ultimately not separate from you as that is true love love what that is that nothing else create work will redeem the world and create a better world we need humans to be able to access the dimension from which love can flow and love means what the dalai lama calls kindness it's the same thing what he really is talking about is love so dalai lama said he didn't say strangely my religion is buddhism the dalai lama said my religion is kindness so the israeli pointing to the essence of what the trans and that kindness is manifests as compassion and love empathy and also manifests as wisdom wisdom is very important when we it's not just intelligence it's wisdom is something deeper that sees the totality of things that doesn't attack one problem and then create three more problems the solution to one problem creates three big even bigger problems that apply only the intellectual analysis or intense conventional intelligence wisdom sees the totality and then takes action on the basis of that let's see another question is there some type of discipline that is needed to be successful with conscious manifestation if so can you describe what the discipline is that is needed well basically i have already described the discipline that's needed for in your daily life to be able to be aware of yourself and of your own state of consciousness also an important factor perhaps that is implied in what we've been saying but it's worth pointing it out explicitly is the importance of what is conventionally called gratitude but there could be other words gratitude is a very powerful transformational tool and also one of the most powerful tools for manifesting better things in your life now what does that mean the gratitude is to to acknowledge the good in your life now and you it's surprising how many people don't do that who can only see the bad in their lives or only complain but it's extremely powerful to acknowledge the goods that's in your life now now let's talk about this for a moment the this does not mean that you have a conceptual idea of what your life is and then you compare it to somebody else's life and you say oh really i should be happy because i have it so much better than look at these people they are they've got their life this voice in mind so i should really should be grateful for for my life that's not it that's not real gratitude that that that me you're you're you're moving within the conceptual realm and you the your feeling of well-being is dependent on somebody else who has less than you are suffering more than you so gratitude is not if you compare yourself because that's a misconception very common misconception of gratitude is you compare yourself to somebody else or even a whole group of people who say look at people in the third world i really should be grateful we are so much better off even though i may be poor but i'm still better off than so let's be grateful no that's not real gratitude you're depending on others to be worse off than you but you can feel gratitude it's crazy it feeds the ego no gratitude is to acknowledge the good that's in your life now now this moment okay so it's not the good in your life situation i'm i'm fine because i have achieved this or that or whatever no at this moment and that's simple things it really comes down to simple things what can i be grateful for at this moment wow there's so much i can be grateful for now what is it to be grateful is to to acknowledge something to give it attention and to appreciate it i have this you can't see it but i have a nice round table here [Music] see and it's lovely i touch it it's made of wood and it's it's lovely it's not spectacular it doesn't need to be spectacular but it's it has a presence into beingness there's light coming through the window there and from behind me i often sit here i i'm lucky to have have these trees here and i often sit here there's a little screen to otherwise it's there's too much glare but i often say here i look at the trees for 10-15 minutes and there's a continuous feeling of goodness because and that's called we could call that gratitude but it's i don't i don't say my mind i'm so grateful for these trees i simply appreciate the the wonder and the aliveness the beingness of these trees so i acknowledge the good in this moment by appreciating the the the wonder the miracle and the of these trees it's just you can look at the sky to hear today happens to be completely overcast but very old and that's fine too because this this light filtering continue through there's more light in the way today than it's on when the sky is blue because the light is dispersed by the cloud it's it's everywhere it's it's and it comes from the sun it filters through the clouds you now you appreciate that you look at a potted plant [Music] you become you're grateful for that you're grateful for all the little things this you hear a bird you drink a glass of water acknowledging all the your breathing so that's gratitude is the the gratitude is the appreciation of life that's around you so you can say the gratitude for being alive for uh to to feel that you're alive in your entire body the inner the inner body the the invisible presence that inhabits the body to feel that [Music] so all my all the little things gratitude is best applied to all the small things that continuously surround you in life and then you see the goodness of it all or you can just let's say you have little or no money so and you're looking for abundance so how do you bring abundance into your life you have to discover to acknowledge the abundance that is already everywhere around you you walk past this you go you're walking in the street and there's a flower stove there's flowers on display and potted plants outside if you live in the city an abundance of life the flowers just amazing there's abundance and you can look everywhere and see abundant life jesus used that term he said i want you to have abundant life in other translations he says the same time translated in a different way i want you to have the fullness of life jesus promises the fullness of life or abundant life now true abundance which many people are looking for and they think abundance is to do with having many things it could be that quite a few things come to come to you when you access the source of all abundance which of course is within you it's the feeling of the fullness of life now once you get this feeling in the present moment then this is the perhaps the very core of gratitude is to feel the aliveness of life within yourself the so when jesus talks about the fullness of life and or abundant life he's not talking about uh he's not a it is not a prophecy of the arising of shopping malls 2000 years later he wasn't talking about the abundance that you find when you walk through a shopping mall and say oh look at oh i must have that oh i must all these things i must have that i must have that that comes from a place of lack the egoic place of lack i must feel fill up the sense of lack with this and that and that this is a kind of addictive thing around if you might have noticed when you go to shopping mall and you feel very tired of what i do i walk around for 10 minutes and ah that's enough so this jesus wasn't talking about lots of things he's talking about the core of life the fullness that you that is inseparable from what when we started to today we started with getting in touch with the the consciousness within you to realize the con that you are conscious that the essence of who you are is the awareness not your history the essence of who you are is the awareness and the awareness of that awareness is the realization of that which is prior to all forms that can become forms but that the that which that which is prior to all the manifestations is the the the unmanifested life the one the consciousness the one life that underlies the entire universe and because you are only a microscopic version of the entire universe you can discover virtually all the secrets of the universe by going within because you are inseparable from the universe you just you discover the most incredible deepest realizations not not factual things you may not know how many how many planets have life intelligent life in our galaxy nobody knows not those things but the deeper laws and movements that underlie the manifestation of the universe you can find that within yourself by going within so the abundance is the aliveness that is within you and it's the awareness of that aliveness but the awareness of that aliveness and the aliveness are a single thing isn't the duality arises when we talk about it then they can say oh i'm aware of consciousness but you're not you can't be aware of consciousness because the awareness is the consciousness the consciousness is the awareness so consciousness is becoming self-aware and what is that constant it's not yours it's the consciousness of the universe manifesting through this little form so the you are part of the awakening process of the universe so all manifestation that you do in your life must be aligned with the awakening universe and the universe is moving towards greater consciousness but where does it come from it comes from an unmanifested con source of all life that is traditionally has been called god the source of all life emanates into this universe but it has it has no location in space or time it is beyond that but to realize that the essence of who you are is inseparable from that that is when the the ripple on the surface of the ocean suddenly realizes that it is the ocean yes it's also a ripple not for long for a little while it's also the ripple but in essence the ripple is the ocean and when the ripple becomes aware if it's of its true nature then that means the ocean has become aware of its true nature the totality of life has become a way has woken up that is our so everything that we do in our manner what we want to manifest let's make sure that it is part of the evolving consciousness so even the simplest things let's say you want to manifest a that's you're a hairdresser and now you want to manifest now that you can salons are open again okay i'm going to to have a hairdressing salon okay i'm going to focus on that and i can feel that i already have it because i can feel the fullness of life already and i just bring in the image of this hairdressing salon and and it bring it into this sense of fullness which means you're already feeling that it's there and whether it comes on the world because secondary now that's the you become a more very powerful manifesto if you do not depend on some future outcome you're already experiencing the fullness of life but you also know that this hairdressing salon is a place where people will when they go when they go there they not only get a good haircut or hairdo they also get your presence they also get your attention they also get the energy that you emanate there and they will feel better while the you're cutting their hair i'm just giving one example i could give thousands of examples they feel in that moment they feel you can you listen to them you acknowledge that they're not just a client you acknowledge their beingness i always say the human being has a two-dimension the human is the condition with the history the being is the unconditioned so that's the consciousness that you are that is the transcendent dimension if you don't know that your life is the most frustrating experience you might have noticed that without that realization of the deeper dimension of who you are you all you experience is one damn thing after another it's always oh my god not another thing so the hairdresser now everybody who comes into that yes they're getting a good haircut let's presume you're a good hairdresser that's important too on the human level but all they they there's something else that you provide and that is the la the love one can say to acknowledge everywhere on the the beingness of every human uh and perhaps some hairdressers after a few years become very good counselors because they've listened to so many stories and suddenly they can actually give good advice it doesn't matter what the form is that your manifestation take but make sure that it is aligned in some way with the evolving consciousness so so so you bring something good into this world you make it a contribution you bring more goodness into this world in one way or another even if you whatever it is uh you make if you're very good at something uh let's you're good at sports or something and and then people loved like to watch you bye to people sometimes why do people watch a tennis match it's always the same thing this they just knocked there's a ball and then it goes on for hours but it can be very very it's why are they so excited by this well on the one hand yes they they they have a favorite they either favor one or the other and that gives is an egoic thing but i believe they also find it fascinating because the people who are if they are masters in tennis playing they are in a state of absolute presence while they play and somehow it's it's lovely to watch people who are in in the in that field of the the zone of mastery and because something almost transmits itself it doesn't mean that these tennis players are necessarily more conscious than others in the rest of their lives we don't know but while they're engaged in their the activities that they have mastered absolutely there is you can somehow absorb a little bit of that presence it's great to watch so i occasionally watch not very often content and i can sense why people there's the two reasons why people watch it one they want their favorite to win but there's a deeper reason that is that there's a something almost transmits itself this presence can be contagious almost and again here we come to an important point when you when you are present that also affects many many others that you come into contact with it's contagious in a positive sense it transmits there's a transmission of presence and there can even be a transmission of presence in some miraculous way through the screen right now how is that possible these are just well it's possible because the screen is in your consciousness who knows where there's actually a screen out there but the screen is something that arises in your consciousness so even there it can work so whatever it is you might want to manifest in this life go ahead but realize the foundation or manifestation is i call it the vertical dimension that's the cross life has the two dimensions the vertical which is the present moment which is the depth of who you are in the essence of our being that is and who you are in the essence of your being is already complete you don't need to become a better person in the essence of your being you just need to manifest into this horizontal world more of the essence of your being so on the deepest level this you cannot improve upon anything or who you are but on the horizontal they have the two that the cross the two dimensions on the horizontal there's a lot you can do but it is not ultimately beneficial in the absence of the vertical but if the vertical is there then that more and more from there which is consciousness can flow into the horizontal dimension and that's how you create a better world and that is the that is the miracle and that's the that is the secret and that is your task to in this what else could that's the purpose of your life and then that doesn't matter what form it takes it could be the simplest things maybe you did be acknowledge the good that's already there and if you're not if you feel there's much more that you could do on the horse yes there probably is but in the meantime let's say you deliver we had a meal delivered yesterday to doordash so they thought there was a brief interaction i opened the door and some before they just left it at the deutsche virus thing but i opened the door and for five seconds i interacted with the dasher they call them we will work for doordash they bring food from restaurants in case you don't know the uh we interacted for there was a moment of interaction and i could sense a connectedness he he loved interacting with me for these few seconds and i loved he wasn't a door dasher he was the there was a being behind it and i acknowledged his being and through that he finally he felt very good just looking at me nothing to do with me as a person at all and it was a lovely lovely encounter for a few seconds so and if you're adored airship for a while why not practice that now most many people that you deliver food to will not be probably not acknowledge your being but that doesn't mean you cannot acknowledge their being so for as long as you do that it can be even there you can bring more consciousness into this world no matter where you are and what you're at instead of complaining that you really should be doing something more interesting yes perhaps you will be doing something more interesting but a starting point is uh acknowledge the good that's here now then you're much more likely to evolve the situation is much more likely to evolve from there but if you are in a continuous state of resistance to what is now you're much more likely to be stuck for for a long time if not forever as you know the famous saying goes what you resist persists which is of course very true so alignment with universal purpose universal purpose is consciousness bring more of that and this consciousness manifests as an emanation of kindness love compassion a sense of deep connectedness and it also manifests as wisdom when you use your mind so that it's not just the conditioned mind that's operating there's actually an awareness behind it and the conditioned mind is then inspired by the deeper consciousness that's behind it of which is it is an inseparable part it's inspired then by the deeper con and then the mind is a lovely tool too you can create through the mind but you can only create if if you have access to real clear creativity we need access to that deeper dimension that is transcendent to the mind not separate from it the analogy i used again is the thinking mind could be like the ripple on the surface and then there's the ocean of which the sip of which the ripple is only a temporary expression it's all so that life is once you realize that then any situation is fine for the time being any situation that you are in and the more you are aligned with the present moment the more likely it is that the situation will evolve and change to reflect your growing consciousness that's a miracle of being alive and that's why you're here so the the picture is not stuck i just stopped talking just wanted to make sure you know i have probably said enough uh the rest is up to you many of these things i said you already knew and if you didn't know them in your conscious mind there was a kind of recognition it suddenly made you know that makes sense somehow you knew that already so the truth is always recognized it's not something new that you learn perhaps you hadn't realized it's the truth is realized recognized and then there are maybe others who are not yet ready for it that's fine there may be some people who said oh somebody said to a friend right so you must listen to this guy eckhart he might have something important to say and then some the friend looks what the hell is he talking about so it's fine not everybody is yet ready for the next step in evolution usually it means means they need to suffer a little bit more mostly self-created unconsciously that's also part of the evolutionary process of the universe so the the rest is up to you it is a wonderful adventure uh you don't you don't need to seek for satisfaction on the personal level it comes as a byproduct quite often satisfaction on the personal level comes on the horizontal level comes as the icing on the cake or the by-product of something that something deeper than that something that happens through you that you don't you can't claim i did that it happens through you and then the the person the personal sense of self they might feel oh it's this it's nice to have but as if it claims possessions as i did that you fall back into illusion as a separate self you you cannot do anything it's a separate self as jesus said i of my own self or my own self can do nothing it is the father that does it through me what's the father the emma the consciousness that emanates from the source of all life that is called god thank you i will see you again perhaps soon but always in the present moment you
