How Can We Really Forgive? | Eckhart Tolle on Relationships

Life is short, forgive yourself and others, even if it hurts. Free yourself out of the holding onto it and start living again. ❤

I found the less I judged my(self) and had more kindness and compassion for myself, the more compassion I had towards others. I’ve learned that what I thought others have done to hurt me actually stemmed from my own deeper unresolved issues such as feeling incompetent, feeling not good enough. And from that deficiency, I looked to others to tell me who I am by overly complying. Doing things that I didn’t want to do but would do anyways because I thought it was “good or the right thing to do”. Which in turn I would always find myself in a situation of being “taken for granted or advantage of, etc.” I’m learning that I am not deficient. I already Am whole and complete. There is not a single thing anyone can do or say that will add to my inner perfection nor take away my inner perfection. And I cannot truly harm anyone else nor give anyone else peace. God has given each and everyone of us our Perfect Peace within that can not be harmed, ever. We are beyond this form, and We are Perfect. This is what I’m constantly reminding myself. And it makes it easier to choose Love instead of blame.

"The event is neutral the story interpretation of it is what creates the anguish" Thank you Eckhat

- I just want to let anyone who’s reading this, and going through a tough time know that it’s going to be okay. You’ll get through it! ✨

Forgiveness is remembering WITHOUT ANY PAIN

"He was as much a victim as I was." This helps me feel more compassion toward my own family. Eckhart's teachings help me evolve bit by bit each day. Thank you for this video ✌

Thank you, E T ... forgiveness is the best way to bring closure and the Only way to find peace. 💖

Without judgement there is nothing to forgive.

We forgive others when we are emotionally evolved enough to not stay in a victim like space of blame…. “Forgive them for they know not what they do” ✨✨

Imagine a 14 minute talk that could literally provide healing and peace to any broken family if the members would simply hear and apply...this is such a gem.💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

If you suffered harassment, wrongdoings, and physical and mental abuse during your childhood, your youth that continued even in your adulthood by parents, relatives, friends, and strangers, and still today you find yourself struggling to understand how to "free yourself" of that pain and opinions that now you perceive as "wrong" and that have been instilled in you with constant brainwashing..., well, I think this video is what you need. Try listening to it over and over again to understand it not only conceptually but feel it in your heart. Even if you're getting on in years, there's still time, even if you suffer from a terminal illness, there's still time to find that "peace within" you that you are desperately seeking "outside" of you. There is little chance that you will immediately accept my recommendation. It doesn't matter. A seed takes its time to become a tree. We all are victims of victims ...of victims ... 🙏

“We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day, but if we do each thing calmly and carefully, we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.” - Viggo Mortensen You are able to bring more of yourself when you concentrate. As the day progresses, you may realize how quickly you accomplish tasks when you slow down to give them your undivided attention. In the words of Viggo Mortensen, “go slow to go fast.”

“The soul rejoices for what the form has lost.”

Thank you, Eckhart. Exactly what I needed. Even my therapist was unable to tell me how to forgive. Ultimately, I don't think forgiveness itself is something you can choose to do. The times when I have forgiven were completely involuntary. However, you can create the conditions for forgiveness to happen, which Eckhart beautifully details here. It is absolutely true that when I meditate my grievances and pain fall away. That part of me which is Eternally Present has never been hurt, and never has held a grievance. Ultimately it is the dissolution of the ego which results in true, lasting forgiveness of self and others.

Forgiving is the simple way to freedom. Let it go let it go. !!! Without blame or judgement.

When we forgive others, we are forgiving ourselves 🙏❤

his talks always bring me comfort and peace.

Yes it is basic to forgive!! We can do it and is liberating!

Being able to overcome the ego, is like working out a highly complex maze computer game, that can take a lifetime of wandering, getting lost, being utterly confused, and giving up, then starting over and over again. Good luck on your mission, brave lightwalker!

most excellent way to talk about letting go to become free of limitations ..to be the great "I AM".
