What exactly IS the ego? | Eckhart Tolle Foundation Talk @ NYU

About Eckhart:

Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth—translated into more than 50 languages—he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review (now Watkins Mind Body Spirit) named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”

Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution.

I'm so grateful he helped me get out of that spot he's talking about. Removing alcohol was a huge transformation for me. I can be present in nature and feel so grateful for that moment and grown to carry on with IT. When I was a drinker, the present moment never felt like it was enough. I can fully be present and find peace and joy in many of my most simplistic moments today. It's pretty cool. Independent of...

Finally, someone is giving me a definition about the EGO, Thank you very much !!! Mr. Tolle.

The ego is the unobserved mind. That is dope! I love it!

[MarthaWoodworth-fs]

Everyone has an ego. The secret is to have a healthy one that doesn’t totally “run the show.” We weren’t taught this as children - very few people know that, when they are watching the movie of their life, it’s the ego that is running the projector. As you evolve spiritually, you begin to check your ego more. It will always be there. Recognizing it keeps it in line.

Аз не исках да приема Егото, но ми създадоха условия да го приема !Много голяма лъжа която ми създаваше илюзий за мен и за другите около мен !Намесата в ума и манипулацията е много не добра като отношения и истината биваше скривана в подсъзнанието !И има много хора които се възползват от проблемите на хората за да печелят и да манипулират техните желания и чувства !Благодаря ви Екхарт Толе вие давате толкова светлина която е нужна за всички които търсят себе си !Това чудесно !

I've been following ET here for nearly 30 years, ever since '95 when "The Power of NOW" came out.

And Bullies are formed when the unobserved mind discovers power over others.

Cool purple hair Eckhart! Getting down with the youngsters nowaday

[JohnChampagne-ioxr]

Yup, and I conditioned myself so well I had/have narratives running so resilient that I was not even aware of even after monitoring my thoughts. I am just starting to get glimpses of the deeper programming 🤔.

[JamaicaSugar]

That's really cool you're speaking at NYU! Congrats, Mr. Tolle!

[VaunMacKinnon]

Truth is truth just get out of your own way and accept the endless gifts life has to offer then give them away

[giselar.]

[mrstonerudude]

I can still point to the paragraph in A NEW EARTH that was a light-bulb moment for me and allowed me to almost immediately take back control from my over-active, unmanaged mind. And sleep w/o pills.

GVB. ❤ When you have fullness of life (life More abundantly), the up and down rollercoaster of emotions that can cause motion sickness are leveled up and we begin to know who we REALLY are.😊 thanks Eckhart.❤

[Last.Dark.Emperor]

[Pilao_girl]

Ego is the act of insolence in testing out real life scenario under a false pretence of a promise or promises on the minds of valued individuals then depending on the target it is either fulfilling or removing that said promise in the same way a rug is pulled under one’s feet by the trusted offender or kicking someone once they’re down, for the purpose of validating own self, be it worth or otherwise, it’s is always at the expense of the valued individual

[CosmicJoy-tkti]

I agree with him . Ramana Maharishi says to ask who am l . You ultimately have to die to your self ❤
