  • Essential Teachings Special: Beyond the Conceptual Self
    Jul 17 2025

    Eckhart talks with a live audience about letting go of our false sense of self. He says when we base our identity on externals: our looks, what we do and where we live - that’s the ego. In that state, we’re either inferior or superior; never equal. True relationships become impossible. But when we’re grounded in essential being, the need to compare disappears and we discover we are infinitely precious.

  • Essential Teachings Special: Presence: The Natural Path that Leads to Life
    Jul 10 2025

    Eckhart talks with a live audience about freeing oneself from the mind to find presence. He says, we must become aware of the harmful thoughts that hold us hostage. Life’s crises need not drag us into unconsciousness. We can stay alert, and let the rough times take us to a deeper state of awareness. Eckhart says while the path to presence is narrow, it ultimately leads to life.

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.

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

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.

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
