Eckhart Tolle talks about What Happens When We Die

thanks for the opportunity over a period of six months or so sickness or illness saw my dog get gradually sicker and sicker to the point where it was in much much pain via x-rays and pills and probing did not find a cause that was treatable we had a family meeting and collectively we decided to have the vet end his life to eases pain by injection and you made a comment about a lady who felt more grief when she lost her dog then when her mother died although it sounds mean I had the same uncontrolled times of Tears for many weeks afterwards the death of my little buddy I've considered the notion of hiko and suffering and pain when remembering my companion in there now I feel that the in the final moments that I put betrayed companionship so my question how do I remove the ego side of not having my buddy or companion around whilst not removing in dismissing their love I continue to hold for him I realized that he's physically gone but like in a recent interview with a quantum scientist author I wondered about the connection I mean a nice chap here who lost a partner and he said that your talks help now of course I'm not comparing that loss but I'm hoping you might find or contemplate and give pointers again to perhaps how I can make oh the form and then still remember the love part without getting sadder and getting attached yes okay make sense yes thank you I understand and the same question would apply also to if somebody close to you dies and people who have not had a close connection with an animal like a dog may not understand you only people who have had that will understand that it can be as painful as losing a human and we had the same experience when our dog passed away under similar circumstances and in the end because she was suffering too much we had to ask the vet to come and she died peacefully and she had a wonderful life was loved and gave love for nine years and her consciousness she was a female benefited greatly from being together with us with humans and with us in particular and we benefited from unconditional continuously loving presence she loved almost everybody same it's loved almost every other dog or animal and almost every other human with very few exceptions and whenever somebody whether it's an animal that you are very close to or a human you the moment a person dies or animal dies you realize what you laughed was not the physical form of the physical form may be beautiful and part of the loving experience but the moment the life is gone that which you loved is not there anymore there is a something inhabits the physical form that is the essence the organizing principle the intelligence whatever you want to call it behind that keeps the molecules on atoms of the physical form together and organizes holds them together science has not doesn't know about that yet it only life it equates life with matter but life is beyond that and ultimately life is consciousness and the doc is an expression of the one consciousness different form a human the human is an expression of the one consciousness or any non-physical entity can only also be an expression of the one consciousness the one consciousness expressing itself at different levels of evolution so it's like a you could say array of sun's of sunlight you are a ray of sunlight and I am and the dog is and the flower is or consciousness incarnated in form so that does not die the essence doesn't die and the dog then it's not a dog I mean we think we know what we're talking about when we say a dog no it is a a being a an energy field a being and an expression of the one consciousness not we think we know when we label things and call it something we think we know what it is we don't know what a dog is and just by calling it dog it's still it's just pseudo knowledge we don't know what a human is just the fact that somebody has a name we think you know what that is no it's an it's an unknown phenomenon it's through the language gives us illusion that we know but we don't really know and so here you have the dog this wonderful presence closed in matter temporarily and something happened because consciousness evolves throughout the universe and evolves in billions of ways and forms in and through billions of ways and forms it's a magnificent ultimately totally incomprehensible miracle to the totally incomprehensible to the human mind but consciousness is engaged in this evolutionary process the one consciousness and whatever suffers is the one constant it's not a coincidence that is a religion on this planet the main room where the main image is a suffering God isn't that strange I mean we have some explanation for it razón well that was Jesus who died for this okay let go of that explanation and just remain with the fact that here you have the main image of that religion is a suffering basically although you call son of God or God doesn't matter is suffering God and there's a deep significance to that you don't have to be a Christian in fact if you're a Christian you probably don't want to go there where I'm going now there's a deep significance there because this suffering God is everybody it is the the fundamental human archetype it's the suffering that every human and every life form but in this case a human he represents the human that every life form goes through when this when this life form assumes the form of the material form the separate seemingly separate material physical vehicle and is then defined in form there were ancient teachings they they are quite close to the truths that say that that consciousness fell into matter as if it were mistake but I don't think I think that it's a good image to say that consciousness there was a kind of fall of consciousness into matter but it wasn't a mistake there is no there are no mistakes in the universe so and if there is a mistake it has a higher purpose for learning and so it's not a mistake anymore so that for those years that you lived together you both your consciousness and the dog's consciousness which are not really separate although we just call them that benefited greatly and grow evolved through being together so it helped the dog and it helped you it added something to your consciousness that being together with that entity with that being and that is not lost I cannot tell you in what way this that which animated that entity that we call dog continues on its journey back to the source but it continues on his journey as you continue on in not as a person not as a personal identity that survives but an underlying energy field and the underlying consciousness that gives rise to this form of course continues on its journey and ultimately is never separate from its source it just believes itself to be separate you
