Time is an illusion … Time is an illusion because it’s only part of our comparative reality. Time only exists when we are comparing one instance of time with another with our mind. Only be aware of the present moment and time truly does not exist. All of existence is one continuous moment instead of being broken up into a whole mess of arbitrary, random moments defined by our mind.
Yes. Because spirit … Yes. Because spirit is not three dimensional. To be aware of spirit is to step out of the river of time and be aware of infinity.
wow, do you miss … wow, do you miss the point. you might acknowledge something besides YOUR perspective. Keep thinking. I do love your “common sense” notion; absolutely
In reference to … In reference to time is an illusion, I think what he is trying to say is that when you recognize that you are one with your spirit, you will feel as sense timelessness. Time will go on of course, but if you stay in the present moment, connected to your spirit, time will have a different meaning. It is the moment by moment connection to the spirit that connects us to the power of the universe, where the concept of time is virtually irrelevant.
@katchkittie Hmmm? … @katchkittie Hmmm? Seems to me from your comment, that your ego is passing judgment on others. i hope your weak mind (ego) awakens
It’s nice that you … It’s nice that you pity suffering folks, but it doesn’t help them to tell them that they are suffering and you can see through it, etc, etc. You should know that their ego is going to reject that stuff man, cmon!
This is all common … This is all common sense,for the weak minded it is a new discovery to live an organized life.I have read all of Tolle books (nicely written)..but still common sense !
Uhm sorry to break … Uhm sorry to break this to you but I understand what eckhart is saying and it is still a shallow teaching. I pity people that regurgitate a shallow teaching instead of realizing their own inner genius.
you are in such … you are in such suffering and can´t see through it, I pity you.
missing the point
Your mental noice blocks you from realizsing the message,
snap out of it
There is no god just the energy of YOU
i agree with u ET. … i agree with u ET. but do u really practice ur teachings because why are u selling so many books in different forms?? I know u write the greatest book in the world- the power of now! its totally great!
Eckart Tolle would … Eckart Tolle would be the first to admit that he isn’t perfect and that he is a simple ordinary man just like you and me.
( Ok with few more dollars in the bank $ but whose counting ?)
Why do you want him to be perfect or a Superman, a prophet of some sorts ? He made no such claims, he simply put out some sing post as reminder and it’s up to you to follow it or not. Why be so critical ?
Somehow I am … Somehow I am starting to have doubts that he wrote ‘The Power of Now’ himself. The book is full of amazing wisdom, and he is just full of fluff.
Why do people like … Why do people like Eckhart Tolle, he is a joke. Doesnt even understand basic human behaviour. Repeats himself constantly and talks around issues. The problem isnt people thinking its that they trust false prophets.
Eckhart explains our limited understanding of events.

I question whether time “actually” is some thing. A measurement of change certainly.

I would venture that Mensa members have much more serious emotional and egocentric problems than the average person; for example.
