Re: Eckhart Tolle - Enlightenment
Eckhart's wisdom is so pure and so simple. What a gift to expereince a teacher such as he
I have just listened to your excerpt, and read part of one of your books.
I understand exactly what you are saying, but it does not translate well with words.
It is an abstract ,and because it is as such, it denies words to describe what I watched
and so painfully listened to you try to do.
Whew, If you are not evolved in the first place to understand, absoluetly, that all things are one
and the what you are calling an ego, may as well be a table,because, there are not words to describe what you are trying to convey.
I have traveled to other dimensions,and to explain this to others is rather the same thing.
What I experienced can only be what I experienced.
What you are so painfully trying to say, over and over again,in the same words is not translating to the person that does not already know this.
Somethings belie words.
I understand that you have had a very meaningful realization, and you feel the need to bring it to the masses.
I feel that perhaps the masses,are not yet ready for this. It will come in due time.
It is not necessary to try to speed it up.S Barba
Dear S. Barba,
I agree, in part, with what you are saying. But I would add that it is possible and necessary for what Eckhart is saying to be said and to be watched and heard. I too have traveled to other dimensions and it is beyond words to describe to someone what that experience is like. The beauty, as I see it with Tolle's words, etc, is that it is out there in the ethers for us all to glean, even if we are unaware of the gleaning. Just watching him I get it where before I kind of got it, knew that I could get it but also knew that I was trying to get it. By the virtue of the fact that he has gotten it makes it much easier to get; however one gets it. Even if that means I want to get it but I don't...you are getting something. The world has always been taught this way and who is to say how it is that we finally learn something. The fact that it is being said at all is wonderful and I am so happy it is out there in our collective energy fields. We need him as we need you and me and all the rest of us to say and do what it is we need to say and do. It will be gotten.
Dear Eckhart & all,
Yes , this will make sense to those who it will make sense to .. and there are those who it will seem a foreign language. Yay - it happens to be my language at this time. So thank you kindly. The gigantic gem I got from watching this clip, Eckhart, is that my ENTIRE ( this incarnation anyway ) life I have been "sickened" by the word "goal" . I've avoided goals like the plague , which I have felt so much guilt over... and even been a tad persecuted over as I have been considered lazy or with no focus not only by others but by my self . I could occasionally wave it away by using the old - "oh well... that's what Pisceans are like " - but it has bothered me every minute that I was not goal oriented and made me "think" that that's why I was unsuccessful in this endeavor and that.... yet I had a sneaking suspicion that there was more to the fact that every time I heard the word goal or even thought about it I would literally feel like throwing up. OK - Thanks for that.... I feel much better ! I shall funnel the guilt over no goal energy into the now.
