    Eckhart Tolle Special: The Paradox of Order and Chaos
    Apr 18 2024

    Original Air Date: May 21, 2021

    Eckhart Tolle elaborates on the paradox of order and chaos that exists in our world. For many of us, especially this past year, living through the pandemic has wreaked havoc on our lives. We’ve experienced loss of socializing, income and perhaps the loss of someone we love. While we might be tempted to despair, Eckhart says order and chaos are an essential part of a higher order. He says there are larger forces at work in the Universe and if we can surrender to that, life’s challenges have the potential to transform our consciousness.

  • Every Setback Is Part of The Journey

    Every Setback Is Part of The Journey
    Apr 11 2024

    In this podcast, Eckhart talks about the coming changes for humanity, including a shift to a different level of consciousness. He explains collectively, we are going through difficult times now, because real change only occurs when society is pushed to the brink. He says without adversity, there is no transformation. He believes we need not be afraid when hardship strikes because that too will be a catalyst for more spiritual growth. Eckhart says historically, humanity has gone through many regressions and collective disasters. He explains they are intrinsic to the process of awakening because every setback is part of the journey.

  • Releasing The Ego’s Grip

    Releasing The Ego’s Grip
    Apr 4 2024

    In this podcast Eckhart talks about the pitfalls of the ego and the need to feel superior. He explains we seek an identity through external distinction like wealth, fame, even our nationality, to dispel the anxiety that we’re not enough. He says the focus on image creates a false sense of self. He shares examples from his own life. Growing up Eckhart’s family struggled financially, which left him with low self-esteem. He asked why bad things always seemed to happen to him. To bolster his feelings of inadequacy, Eckhart says he pursued intellectual achievements which came easily. But his sense of superiority soon vanished in the wake of his negative thinking. Eckhart says for a time, he sought refuge in complaining and victimhood. But after he experienced an awakening, the old patterns gave way to something greater, and his self-hate evaporated. He explains he finally understood the meaning of Buddha’s teachings about suffering and the end of suffering and how liberation emerges when we release the ego’s grip.

who are you? who am I? I am.....

This was one of my favorite episodes thus far.
Mr. Tolle states many times about how the teachings of Jesus are a lot deeper than the ideology we are taught.
towards the end he states about using the statement "I am" as a mantra, while leaving the rest silent.
Then, Oprah repeated the statement "I am, I am." This is exactly the phase Jesus used when asked, "who are you? "
This was (as Oprah would say), an Ah Ha moment.

thank you both for this wonderful podcast.

Essential listening

There are many ways we can view any one thing. I appreciate the insight that is gained from Tolle. The adds aren’t fun. Neither is capitalism for most.
I’m glad he is here regardless of both aforementioned drawbacks

So Inspired

This is my favourite so far. I've always before now linked my sense of self and identity to what I did or the functions I'm in. This knowing has freed me.

This is the way.

I'm afraid that I may be too biased to leave a fair review. I've loved Eckhart's teachings for many years now.

Wise and true

This is an essential part of my morning - sitting silently with Eckhart is beautiful and simple - a clear reminder of what’s truly essential. Love love love 🙏🏼
The ads only bring more chance to be conscious and quiet while being in the market place … no problem.
