Is Your Inner Monologue Destroying You? | Eckhart Tolle on Self-Talk and Negative Internal Dialogue

Fake master

nothing talks in your head actually. If it talks then it is precisely nothing, don't listen. Are you listening to your neighbours talks? I hope you don't.
Can you imagine that? There is "someone" or "something" talking in your head. It sounds like mental illness. Nothing talks in your head. There are thoughts, the same way that there are hairs, feces, vision. So? So nothing.
It's not about not listening, it's about total indifférence like "ho yeah, it's that thing that claims to exist but doesn't, i had forgotten for a minute...".

And the awareness is ALWAYS there, you don't have to wait til life knocks at your door or whatever fancy idea. If awareness wasn't always there you wouldn't be able to understand what the guy says, you wouldn't be able to consider thoughts as thoughts when you're asked to.
Paying attention to yourself is daily practice and effort, it's not about "slipping on banana's skin"...

Incredibly insightful...harder to undo...

This guy had serious fuckinf money issues 😊

What about the voice in your head that is intuition?

I love him 😂❤

Great spiritual teaching. Thank you, Eckhart. You have the panacea for our suffering.

I learned to stop my inner talk when I had a bad headache. Without it, the aching stopped, but the tiniest thought - OUCH!
I'm still able to stop it and I'm more identified with the awareness now, but I don't understand what people are talking about when they say it's all one and it's not only in my body. Maybe. And for me it's logical because otherwise it would be solipsism. Which I don't know how to debunk, but it's just nonsense in my opinion. But how do they know? How does it feel? Do they feel it when my ear is itching? Or do they say so just because it's probable?

self talk = self destruction

If it happened to your dog you’d take your dog to the vet LOLLL

Ive been told my whole life im no good because i dont do as im told without asking questions

Ohhhhhhh....eckhart....love you

Don't teach go to park take a seat and meditate. Once in a week

i am aware its self talk but the things that happened to me could happen again so i think i must keep story going to be on alert

i just totally love your gestures. why? because i recognize that in myself. thank you.

Thank You ❤

Can’t help thinking of Yoda when I listen to E T. Wise words calmly spoken.

I got lost in the self-talk mid video💀

Thank you Eckhart for bringing me so much peace. You are truly a gift.

Actually Eckhart answers all the questions Krishnamurti ask in his talks.... the talks seem complememtary

So wise and so clever.. being in a therapy for more than 2 years to just realise that I don't want to go over, the only way I know is to be stuck into my 'problems' and my identity, the ones I've been repeating to myself over and over again, since my childhood, that I'm alone on the planet and noone loves me. That's sad...

I don't want an end to my problems? ... What an idiotic, and frankly insulting, statement! ... If Eckhart knew the problems I've had over the last 20 years, he WOULDN'T say something so utterly ridiculous!

The guy's credibility has taken a serious nose-dive after THAT faux-pas!

Bravo! Écharpe describes it so perfectly well and I love his simplicity that brings me back to zero❤

How does meditation help the brain?

I simply adore this man. I can say with complete honesty, and it’s not the first time I’ve said it as I seem to want to say it a lot…his teachings have changed my life. Resolved my deepest fears, given me such joy, such peace or rather has through his words allowed me to see the mind identification. It’s so f’n incredible I want to scream it from the rooftops. Thank you Eckhart love❤you

Thank you🙏🌌💚 Awareness 🙏💚🌌

It sure helps to realize you've known madness/sadness, Eckhart.
'Too spiritual for me.'

You rock. 😂

This man and yuval harrari and joscha Bach have given me insights into how stories shape our reality. His teachings in particular include a path to improvement. Thank you all

🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

Thanks Man xx gonna finish seeing the therapist tomorrow.. You really helped me dump off the past and be here Now ❤

Watched this again just now sooo good xx. I mean you can’t appreciate all the great teachers I reckon. Until you get over through and out of “this conditioned content of ya mind “ lol 😊

What if I’ve done a mess with my inner dialogue. I went through a period of isolation and to much canibis. I don’t remember how I used to be before this time period. I don’t remember my inner dialogue. Almost like I forgot how to use it.

He keeps telling himself he is a comedian. Now I believe it too

Remember that the mind plays the roles of policeman and thief. The mind causes self talk because that is the way it has been programmed. "The trick to quieting the mind is to get rid of the self talk". Who is saying this? The mind. It is creating self talk about the self talk.

BORING BORING BORING MAN WHO APPEALS TO SAD BORING BORING PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO DROWNED IN BORDOM

The barrier is a very limited and fictitious sense of identity.

All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another.

All negativity is resistance.

In this context, the two words are almost synonymous.

Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair.

Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body!

Chasing the wrong things

Once I ate a fly it flew down my throat. At the time I was ruminating something but the fly snapped me out of it.

I don’t know about his formal education, but sometimes just hearing a wise man helps a lot.

Let me try to stop my negative internal dialogue without ever first understanding it so that the repressed and silent negative spiritual energies that accumulate as a result can build up in force and power and overpower the heart and overthrow the ego in order to possess and destroy the organism, or do something even worse. Great idea Tolle. I won't be seeking life advice from you.

"5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14
"32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8
repent my brothers and sisters, only JESUS CHRIST saves.

Thank you

Great talk and great comment section. Thank you everyone. 🎯

The self talk is just owning everything that is perceived.

I remember seeing this live years ago. So glad to see it back up. Eckhart is a Mystic.

It's amazing when he laughs at the simplicity of just being aware of these things we humans tend to do that adds to our suffering. I love his laugh because he's so awake and sees so clearly that it's POSSIBLE to stop the fear inducing narratives we say about ourselves. THANKS ECKHART! You've changed my life

How can you sit there and laugh? How rude and how unprofessional
