What Is the Essence of Every Human? | Eckhart Tolle Explains How We Are All Connected

I am truly impressed with how effectively Eckhart responds to difficult questions that are asked of him in these forums. Without any foreknowledge of the question in this video, he was able to provide a comforting, meaningful answer to a gentleman who, by virtue of his question, may have lost a child. Truly remarkable.

Coincidently I attended a funeral today where a family I have known all my life buried they're mother. She was a wonderful woman of 70yrs and was adorned by everybody. The mass in her local church was beautiful and afterwards when everybody was in the graveyard saying they're final goodbyes a sunny Autumn rain shower had passed over us all and produced a spectacular rainbow as her coffin was being lowered into the ground. It was so heavenly and enlightened everybody who was there especially her loving family. Yes they were greiving but also celebrating her life at the same time. It was the most loveliest funeral I had ever witnessed and I was uplifted by the whole occasion. May the lovely kind woman rest in peace with her late husband.🕯️🙏🕯️

I hope someone will make a documentary for Netflix about Eckhart Tolle and his wise words very soon. This topic is very important, and I hope everyone around the world will learn to understand it! 🙏🏼

" suddenly I could feel this deep peace underneath the sadness "

This man is a gift to earth, from another realm of what can only be paradise, I’m 28 years old and his words expand my mind beyond words can explain. Clarity in a world full of confusion, mixed energy everywhere becomes very calm and relative when I listen to the words he speaks I hope where ever you are whoever reads this is doing ok and finding peace within as much as they possibly can Thanks to all in the comments for perspective and questions which continuously expand my own ever growing infinite consciousness 🙏🏽☀️♾️

"THE MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE CANNOT BE CONTAINED IN WORDS" - HE NAILED IT.

While I was and am so blessed to pass the best years of my youth with spiritual teachers like Eckhart, I never imagined that death can be so close to me. One day I had a severe panic attack that my breath stared to fall short and my lower Jaw and hands got paralyzed. In the ambulance while they were carrying me to the hospital, there was a very brief moment that I felt my consciousness is getting fade away and I'm turning to a corpse, I only had the sense of life in my chest. at that very brief moment I saw the light of sun was touching the yellow leaves out of the glassy roof of the ambulance. When I saw that scene, the light of sun passing through golden leaves, I sensed a other type of light is passing through my corpse and whispering in my heart : I am who I am. Suddenly I felt the life is coming back in my body and paralysis is going away. I immensely comprehend when Eckhart says God emanates like light in this world. I feel this light in the aliveness of my body

Thank you Eckhart Tolle, it’s amazing how your talks tend to show up just in the right time! I lost my partner of 30 years about a year ago, and slowly slowly I have come to realize just what you are talking about… The essence of a person will always be there, a very comforting thought. 🙏❤️

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in his book «  le petit Prince » when the little prince meets the fox. The fox tells him : « we can only see well with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.» Thanks mister Tolle 💚🌞🌈🙏

Eckhart is describing the same process I went through over 6 years ago when my partner passed away. Waves of grief, which I called ‘honoring’ my feelings, followed by an acceptance of what is. It took a while to work through that process, and I was depressed for at least the first 6 months, but I also knew my grief would not last because everything is impermanent. That knowledge comforted me and today I no longer feel any grief or bad feelings. It’s extremely liberating. If you are grieving a loved one, know that you too can find that peace. Don’t rush the process, let it play out, let your feelings out - recognize them and honor them! But don’t wallow in them either. This is what Eckhart calls making a story out of them. Watch them rise and watch them pass. Eventually they will subside for good, and you’ll be able to remember your loved one with a happy heart, rather than a heavy heart. Peace to you ❤

I have listened to Eckhart Tolle for a long time on and off and in the 2000s there was a period I extensively listened to him and his audio books for around 5 years. I'm coming back to his wisdom again and it just gets more profound. He's got this way of expressing deep concepts very simply imo. This exposition and analogy of the sun and sunshine to God and consciousness is just exquisite. He's truly a blessing on earth 🌎 🙏 💖

I held my best friend in my arms as he died. The loss has been the most difficult experience of my life. I Am holding on for surrender. I Am so hoping to feel his essence. I know others have lost too. I feel like i should be wearing a shirt that says "be gentle with me".

The love that I feel when listening to this man is unexplainable. I've been listening to and reading his words for several years now, and I always get the feeling that "everything will be ok". Thank you so much Eckhart!

Thank you, God, for this beautiful being that has illuminated the lives of many human beings. Eckhart, May God grant you many years of life. I pray for our souls

I did generally like this video, but I felt like a few things were maybe overlooked, as there is so much to cover with this whole subject. I loved the expression of spirituality around the subject of passing on, and the relation to God in this context, all very consistent with my senses and experience. On a practical level, the question was basically, how do we deal with the passing of loved ones in our lives, as in how do we cope and find peace with it? The spirituality aspect is certainly paramount, but on a practical level, I think it's important to remember that as much as we miss and mourn them, we are also loved by them in kind, on a level and in a way that we can't even conceive. If you want to believe in the spiritual presence projecting that love, or just feel the love that the person had for you in life, it is the same. Within that love is a knowing, an understanding about this life, and even your life in particular, that the value of life (including your own particular life) is truly beyond common understanding. Put simply, if someone who has passed could tell you one thing directly, it would be that life is for living. Within the love that person holds for you, is not only this knowing, but also an intention for all the best of life for you while you are here. The beauty of this existence, even in the small moments, and peace of mind and spirit in this life are what our loved ones want for us, as much as we would want it for them. So, when coping with a loss, do not focus on the tragedy and sadness of it beyond a certain point. Be free to hold the love, and let all the rest of it go, and simply live your best life. Realize that with impermanence we also gain specialness, in this life and in every moment. This moment and this life will pass, and even being indelible to God, our first hand experience of it only has this one chance. The subject of death and impermanence is likely the very most relevant to the core message of Mr. Tolle, that this moment is the grandest thing. The Power of Now is absolutely the first thing our passed loved ones would have us understand, and it is truly very deeply intended by them for us to move on and have peace and happiness beyond the life they lived on Earth. I hope some you who suffer loss can find peace and acceptance in this, and I am working on a book of my own to join the chorus in spreading this message. Please know that the upheaval we are seeing in the world today precedes a human evolution. We are becoming better, and the old ways of humanity are dying away in fits and thrashes. In dark times, I can promise you, the best is yet to come. Believe!

🙏 It's absolutely like that. I too felt that way after having had one loss after another. " I know " it's like that. A piece of advice I can give to those who have just lost someone they loved deeply is to tell them that it is the opportunity to find them again more deeply. These are not just words but it is the simple truth. They are HERE . THEY are in the love we felt for them, they are in the love they felt for us. THEY are in the love we feel for them NOW. This love will never fade away even when we ourselves go there. Focusing on this love which is real more than any reality. Give away the things they loved and take care of the ones you keep with you. Let their love live, don't suffocate it in despair. Cry as much as you like without shame you will always find a smile to comfort you. It was like that for me, it will be that for you❤ So grateful 💓🙏✨✨🌺✨💫✨

My grandmother and I were the best of friend's. I've never experienced since from another human being the closeness that we shared. So I am greatful so much for that true opportunity. Some said in a past life we were husband and wife. I'm fairly open-minded so I tend to lean into anything I could never understand. She visited me in my dream twice after she passed within the 10 year's it's been. And in the last year in a half she visited me a third time. When I saw her dead, I had the realization that all that was the beauty, and laughter, and strength, of her essence had moved on. She died Nov. Friday the 13th. For 7 day's straight it poured rain day and night. And then after that day her funeral was sunny. Everyone in the family gathered around she was a nurse a WAC in the army. So this man had a bugle, and it wouldn't work. So we all started to walk away, and then he said, "oh come on back, it's workong now.! We all started laughing, and I knew that was her signature sign to me. She looked at life in a fun way even through tough time's. She thought heaven was already here on earth. My love for her will never die only transcend. ❤

He does spiritual teacher better than any I have encountered. His words ring true through the years I have followed him. Never heard him express anything that wasn’t genuine, honest, and rational. And his presentation is as solid and comforting as any I have seen.

It’s wonderful to know that there are others out here who are also searching and finding.

THEY NEVER LEAVE US.....I ALWAYS FEEL THEIR PRESENCE ❤
