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.

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.

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

Eckarte is the best!!

A voice of reason in a dangerously egoic world. Everyone needs to listen to Eckarte!
