Описание: Eckhart Tolle｜Embracing the Present Moment and the Unconditioned Consciousness
thank you some people are still coming in finding their seeds hopefully

hello to everybody half a kilometer away at the back

they good spiritual practice while we are waiting for everybody to settle down Why not start with a good spiritual practice especially for people in the back rows [Music] and it may sound a little bit

funny but it's actually a very powerful spiritual practice

and that is

to become aligned with the present moment obviously this is I'm Mr now so I'm talking about the present moment become aligned with the present moment and

refrain from complaining for example that you are too far away mentally

a very powerful spiritual practice

so then you become okay

with the is-ness of things

and the is-ness of things happens always in the present moment you might have noticed

nothing ever happens that's not now one could almost say

the word happen must imply present moment

and most people completely underestimate

the incredible importance

of the present moment and of living

in a harmonious relationship with the present moment and you won't be surprised how many people in this world live almost constantly in an antagonistic relationship with the present moment

and that of course causes a lot of unnecessary suffering and unhappiness

so one of the most important things in life to be aware of is your relationship [Music] so to speak with the present moment and this is now of course is the present moment

excuse me welcomed or appreciated or at least accept it for the way it is because it already is the way it is that's the weird thing about the present moment it's already the way it is no matter how you argue in their mind with it [Music] the isness of things is already the case

and that's all there ever is in your entire life your entire life this is not something to just understand intellectually

but to grasp at a deeper level

your entire life unfolds

in the present moment that's all there ever is that's all there ever is is this moment

most people live as if

some future moment whether it's a minute from now or tomorrow or next year they live as if some future moments were always more important than this moment that is it implied they don't tell themselves oh the next moment is more important than this one no it's an assumption an underlying assumption it's a mind set and that mindset

is a form of conditioning cultural conditioning and that mindset by implication if not literally always says there's something more important coming and I'm on my way to it [Music]

and that is a dysfunctional way to live because you're never Fully Alive you never feel at home you're always looking for your home

in some future moment or when you get old enough and you realize there's little future left then you think about the past more than the next moment that is why many old people talk continuously about the past

so coming into alignment with the present moment brings about a shift in consciousness and this is so simple and yet so profound
