Opinion about Eckhart Tolle?
I’m curious how others here see Eckhart Tolle. At first, for me, he has been one of the most influential spiritual teachers in my life. His work helped me move from a more superficial form of Christianity into a deeper spirituality and a taste of non-duality. His teachings on presence, the nature of thought, and the possibility of experiencing the infinite only in the Now were life-changing for me. I’ve read many of his books and they gave me profound insights. But the deeper I go on my spiritual path, the more I feel that Tolle’s teaching stops at a certain point. He emphasizes becoming empty, letting go, living entirely in the present — which is absolutely essential. It is the first step: turning inward, releasing identification with thought, detaching from the ego. However, what I experienced is this: If we stay only there, something is missing. In my experience, emptiness without aliveness becomes flat. Many spiritual traditions that focus exclusively on stillness and detachment end up lacking the other half of the dance — the movement, the energy, the joy, the creative expression of life (what you could call Yin and Yang, balance or the "dance of life" swinging between the poles). I practiced the “be empty, kill the ego, detach from everything” path very seriously. It gave me peace, yes — but also a kind of numbness, a loss of vitality. It felt incomplete. And reality becomes meaningless and neutral... Now I see it differently: We become empty so that we can be filled — with love, joy, abundance, presence, and creative life-force. Emptiness is the beginning, not the destination. That’s just my experience over the past weeks. How do you see Eckhart Tolle and his teaching? Do you feel the same, or something different?

Hi Christian, Eckhart Tolle has undoubtedly written valuable books that can help people discover inner stillness and learn to appreciate it. I see it similarly to you, though — his teaching covers only one part of the truth. What I feel is missing is the direction. For him, the destination seems to be thoughtlessness and presence. But where is God in this? Where is the movement toward Him? Where is the understanding of this world from that higher perspective? There is a reason why many “elites” call him the greatest spiritual teacher of our time — he is safe, peaceful, non-confrontational, and never touches the deeper essence of what the spiritual path is really about. He has done a lot of good, and I’m glad I read his books. But I personally wouldn’t call him a spiritual teacher — at least not in the full sense. Warm regards, Erhard

@Christian F. yes, that is a great saying
⚡️ Your Life Is Being Shaped by the Questions You Haven’t Stopped to Question ⚡️
I felt inspired to write this today.... Every future you’ve ever lived has been quietly built by the questions running your mind. 🧩 Not the ones you say out loud — the silent ones. The inherited ones. The ones absorbed from people who never examined their own limits. The questions your mind asks automatically, without permission, without awareness. 🤫🧠 These hidden questions are the true architects of your reality. 🏛️ And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Your life didn’t arise from your potential. It arose from your questions. 🔍✨ Questions like: ❓ “How do I avoid failing?” ❓ “What’s the safest choice?” ❓ “What will people think?” ❓ “How do I not lose what I have?” These aren’t questions — they’re gravitational fields. 🌑 They pull your identity downward. They compress possibility. They turn a powerful mind into a self-limiting algorithm. 🧠🔒 And no matter how much you want a new life — you can’t outgrow a future built by old questions. 🚫⏳ Here’s the liberating breakthrough: When we change the questions we live from, our reality must reorganize. 🚀🌱 The new question upgrades the thinker. The thinker upgrades the choices. The choices upgrade the trajectory. 🎯➡️ This isn’t about motivation.... This is Structural Psychology. 🧬 If you want a new chapter, you must challenge the questions writing the current one. ❌🧱 Ask questions that demand courage. 🦁 Ask questions that call a higher identity forward. 🔥 Ask questions that dissolve limitation instead of protecting it. 🌀 Like: 🔹 “Who is the version of me creating this — and who am I becoming next?” 🔹 “What opens up if I stop assuming my limits are real?” 🔹 “What would I build if fear wasn’t the one asking the questions?” These aren’t thoughts — they’re architectural commands that reshape your unconscious structures. 🏗️🧠 And once you begin questioning your questions, your life cannot stay the same. It will shift. It will reorganize. It will evolve. 🔥🦋 If something inside you feels a pull — that’s not inspiration.

@Anita Kozlowski Hi Anita, That’s a good question. For me, the “outsourcing” happened because I felt a machine could articulate things more precisely than a human mind ever could. It was tempting — clean, fast, structured. But when I realized that a machine can imitate clarity yet has no soul, no depth, no inner stillness… I returned to my own voice. There is something a machine can’t touch: the quiet place inside where truth is felt, not constructed. Warm regards, Erhard

@Anita Kozlowski Of course — a machine can simulate, but it cannot create from an inspired download. What I meant, though, is something slightly different: When I let the machine express that inspired download for me, it made me lazy and slowly weakened my own ability to articulate what comes from within. That’s what I was referring to. It limited my own expression, and that didn’t feel good — because I handed something over to a machine that should come through me. Warm regards, Erhard

I’m beginning to put myself out into the world. I used to be very anti social but I know I need to be apart of a community to help me get where I need to go. I feel this is a great start.

So, then let's start, Angelica. A warm welcome
How to stop judging ?
I used to judge people, people who were narrow minded, eat meat, criminal, people who claim themselves to be higher than others. I used to have a feeling of petty for them. Slowly slowly I realized they have a softer side, that they are not my enemies until I make them in my head. That helped me to focus on what they need, and to not judge them as everyone is improving day by day. But now I am again stuck, People who claim themselves to be enlighted, I can't help myself but to put them on trial. I have this constant urge to prove them wrong. I don't know where this desire will lead me to, but I have not made peace with it yet. Can someone help me overcome it ?

@Paul Hedron Hi Paul, thank you for your openness. I want to ask you something simple: How can the mind analyze something that does not originate in the mind? And from which place do you observe the one who observes? For me, anything related to enlightenment cannot be studied, categorized, or replicated — because it does not come from thought, perception, or any mental process. So I’m curious how you see this. Warm regards, Erhard

@Paul Hedron Hey Paul, thank you for your thoughtful reply — I can see you really put effort into it. And yet, I find it difficult to understand what exactly you are trying to convey, because I sense that you and I may be working with completely different understandings of reality. So I’d like to add something to one specific point you mentioned: “Personally, I don't really see any reason not to at least attempt to study and communicate the ineffable.” From my perspective, the human being is dual in nature — with a material side and a spiritual side. And by “spiritual” I don’t mean mind, thoughts, intellect, or consciousness. I mean something entirely different. Through the material side we perceive reality with thought, logic, and the structures of consciousness. Through the spiritual side we perceive reality with the Soul — a spark from another world. With the mind we can explore the material world through analysis and intellect. With the Soul we perceive through a different mode — what I call deep feelings. These deep feelings reveal how reality works from higher dimensions, and this understanding cannot be captured by logic or intellectual models. They also allow perception of a realm that is fundamentally different from the material one — a realm where the physics of the three-dimensional world simply do not apply. This is why experiences from these deep feelings cannot be pressed into words, systems, concepts, or frameworks. They come from beyond them. I hope this sheds a little light in the dark. Warm regards, Erhard
