Ego & Eckhart Tolle with Confused Girl
Ego & Eckhart Tolle with Confused Girl
My thoughts on the Ego in Eckhart Tolle’s book. “A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose”. There is so much more to talk about when it comes to this novel. It is really helping me get to my next step. I’m sure I will do a few more videos on this as I continue to read the book. 🙂
If you liked this blog post than you know what you’ll love? Our item of the week! Head over to Confused Girl Activewear and take a look at the amazing activewear I designed. This week I wanted to highlight out adorable Intuition Cropped Tank! Its cozy and casual, but also super adorable, making it easy to incorporate into any outfit.
I got introspective this week and realized some things about the ego! Check
it out!
Great!!, I haven´t understood you, because I´m learning to speak English
and my level is almost intermediate. But I have read Eckhart´s books, and I
realized I´m not a shy person. That´s why I´m going to go to the South part
of England, for working and living. I´m frightened, but I need to change my
live and win all my fears. One big kiss for you!!!!.
If you liked that book then you’ve gota follow up and read The Power of
Now. Life changing stuff. Things they don’t teach in school
LOVE ME!!!! Cause I love you =)
the subtle spiritual ego ..sometimes a tricky one to catch, so good for you
🙂 I would also recommend Mooji on youtube…he speaks from the same place
Eckhart does but has a bit of a zen edge to him..good luck on your
spiritual journey
forget eckart ….if the idea of ‘ego’ is pulling u check mooji, tony
parsons, jeff foster or robert spira it goes much deeper than the idea
of ego your thinking…..
Ego need not be a person showing how good they think they are at some event
or business. If not a bigger Ego can be seen in the person in depression.
Emotions are the great truth indicators. To notice this in yourself is the
beginning.Sad,anxious,upset etc.. is Ego. 24/7 vigilance is needed to peel
the onion 😉
The meek shall inherit the earth. How so? Because everyone else will be
destroyed by their ego.
happends to me a lot, much harder to notice it in me then in others
but its there 99% of the time…
Forsure check out Alan Watts. I think you would find him very fascinating.
I havent read the whole thing but i think i prefer power of now. The pain
body info in there has helped me a bit.
funny and interesting commentary.
ILOVE ECKHART TOO…BUT I RECOMEN YOU..MOOJI…HE REALLY GOES DEEPER…
Eckhart Tolle suggest that you do A Course in Miracles as soon as possible
if you want to get out of confusion. It is very important that you do them
ACIM’s lessons while reading the Text of A Course in Miracles. That
Course is the best in the World. That you will be sure very soon.
sometimes its easier to see our judgmentalism then our ego. because
judgmentalism is how the ego fuctions. inferior vs superior. a false
unreality fabricated by the mind which then justifies itself through a
majority bias. creates fear which erodes love, which then erodes
cooperation.
I started reading Eckhart Tolle about 6-7 years ago, and it’s really
changed my life incredibly and deeply. I was stuck in a very serious
dysfunctional and abusive homelife, being abused and brainwashed by my
mother from birth. Because of A New Earth primarily, I was able to find
the ability to get away from her (and became homeless to find my own way)
even though it was hard for me to emotionally accept. I was able to at
least look at things objectively enough to understand that it was not okay,
and I was able to be patient enough with myself to give myself that
chance. Given how good my mother has always been at guilt-tripping to
control me, it was not easy, and I am going to continue to work through
this for the rest of my life or perhaps the majority of it.
When it comes to his book, which I have read through about 3 times (I take
each passage and page slowly – sometimes I read 10 pages at once and pick
it up a month later, and sometimes I read 1 pharagraph and pick it up 6
months later)…I do the best I can to just be patient with the process.
Every time I read it I have new shifts in consciousness. Most recently I
have been learning how to emotionally-accept the pointlessness of anger
towards others. That has been difficult, but very very freeing at the same
time.
One story in particular that I recommend paying close attention to was the
one about the woman who sought out Eckhart at his apartment one time, and
was seeking guidance on how to let go of her pain leftover from sexual
abuse when she was younger. Eckhart advised her to calm her breathing and
mind, and then allow herself to feel her pain, without judgement. I think
it’s especially important to pay attention to the follow-up of that story,
where he went to the chinese food place and a man in a motorized scooter
became extremely agitated and tried to run over a waitress. The entire way
that Eckhart described it was really insightful and moved me a lot in
particular. I believe energy is real and is very practical in how it moves
in vibration from one person to the next.
Lastly, I wanted to make sure to also recommend looking into Wayne Dyer.
Next to Eckhart, Wayne Dyer is my favorite spiritual teacher and motivator,
as well. He’s also been interviewed on Oprah. I recommend checking out
his (now older) PBS special called The Power of Intention. It really moved
me very much and changed my life. Dr Wayne Dyer The power of intention:
All things are possible
I hope this helps you. If you ever want to talk more with me personally
about my experiences or insight please feel free to message me, or if you
want to chat on skype that’s cool with me too. Maybe we could start a
skype group thingy or something lol. I could talk about Eckhart’s
teachings all day! :-p
Dear Confused Girl,
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables…” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
Those Biblical verses are a perfect summation for the multitudes of lost
souls seeking guidance from an endless array of New Age, self-styled,
self-help, media-friendly gurus, who in turn have been glowingly endorsed
by many of today’s leading Talk-Show hosts.
Satan is currently beguiling much of the religious world with such soothing
and deceptive strains as, “God is All ~ and All is One ~ so we all share
the Divine ~ and the Oneness that is God.” ~~ “There are so many ways to
God.” ~~ “All faiths are valid.” Etc., etc., etc. Nevertheless, the TRUE
God continues to point mankind unerringly in the direction of His only
begotten Son.
Can you imagine Chopra, Dyer, Winfrey, Keating, Nhat Hanh, Tolle (et al)
declaring that JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY LORD AND SAVIOR, and the ONLY WAY
to the Father in Heaven? (John 14:6)
If that day ever dawns ~~don’t hold your breath~~ they might actually be
worth listening to.
Until then, you are not alone……
“The victory of deception is the unawareness of your
defeat.”

Thanks for your pm and invite and kind comments 🙂 Brilliant book and I
like your commentary about “oh wow..I’m more evolved than other people here
in this room…” and you realising ..hang on..that’s just my EGO talking!!
Lol.. Exactly..I had many ‘lightbulb moments’ reading this book. It is
fantastic. I was recommended it by someone and got it from the Library then
bought my own copy! It is soooo insightful…I hope you enjoy reading it
and I look forward to more videos 🙂 Subbed!
I liked your angle.
Love it girl! Thanks for the Invite to check out your video. :)) Eckhart
Tolle’s books helped to completely change my perspective on reality. I
first read his book, “The Power of NOW” back in 2004, then followed up
with his other works. Thanks for sharing your Journey with everyone! xoxo
Thank you for the invitation to imbibe your insights. I think you will
enjoy my new iBook I will send you a free copy for review
I love that book;)
Cool, I like it (and you).
Another identity that we can sometimes have is a negative one (but secretly
gives the ego pleasure) – even in the case of a serious disease, so that
sometimes we don’t want to be cured because then we, as the —— sufferer
would no longer exist!
Eckhart’s other main book is called “The Power of Now” – be sure to read
the Introduction, as he explains how he literally stumbled upon his
insights into this crazy existence called “life”. (He reveals some amazing
stuff that happened to him – not cuckoo stuff, but pretty amazing stuff.)
He also often writes that he is not the first to publicise this philosophy
– it has been called ‘the perennial philosophy’ (always been around, tho’
sometimes supressed like under the 1500yr-Roman-Catholic Regime). The
first proponents seem to have been the original Hindu thinkers (whom
Eckhart acknowledges, as well as the original Bhuddists, Zen-Bhuddists,
Sufis, Krishnamurti, “A Course In Miracles”, etc, etc. But for me, he does
explain it most clearly, and in the most friendly way (which is important).
Eckhart Tolle?! SUBBED! you doing talks about this in school? [here comes
some ego] lets work together on getting this into schools? No? ahhhhh
fuqit!
I like you, you are kul!
Thank you for the invitation.
I read the books.
I saw all the videos of his lectures. On YouTube
Give up the ego, this is a daily job.
Not just that easy.
Eckhart’s recommended way is to live in this moment.
Concentrate on the moment of now.
Good luck to us all, in this uneasy work.
So we can change the world.
Thanks for sharing this video. I’ve never found Eckhart Tolle to be
interesting. Although his lectures are packed I don’t understand why. But
what’s most important is what he say’s. And after watching a few of his
video’s I’ve come to the conclusion that he waffles on & on about nothing.
It wouldn’t surprise me that he’ll come out with another 90 things
connected with the human psyche that we all need to work on. Not to mention
publish many profitable books along the way ! Does concentrating on the
ego sound like your life just got more complicated ? You bet. But why are
you doing this to yourself ? For what its worth, concentrate on the steak &
not the peas, life is full of enough diversions without letting the ego or
Eckhart Tolle get in your way !
! Muaaack !
