Stop trying to work out your life | Eckhart Tolle
When people tell Eckhart Tolle "I don't know anymore, I'm confused", he tells them that is a good thing. This talk explains why. Spiritual awakening, he says, does not mean you come to know more about yourself, about life or about the universe. If anything, it is the opposite. You know less and less, and you become comfortable with knowing less, until you arrive at a place of not knowing. That place is not below thinking, the way a tree or an animal does not think, and it is not the blankness of too much alcohol. It is above thinking: a state of relaxed, still alertness in which you have surrendered the desire to understand. Most people spend years trying to work out their life. You can spend the next twenty years and countless sleepless nights on it, and in twenty years you will still be working it out, because one challenging situation follows another. Life never leaves you alone. Letting go of the need to understand, including the big questions about who you are and whether any of it has a purpose, is what lets the mind subside. You do not argue either way. You simply do not know. What remains when the confusion goes is alert presence. From there you can still use your mind, but you know the limits of any opinion, any viewpoint, any story, and you no longer mistake them for the truth, because your sense of who you are now comes from somewhere deeper. Eckhart goes much further into this in the full session. Join Eckhart Tolle Now to watch. 👇
