  • Not worth the commercials

    I love Tolle and tried to enjoy the show but when ads play often and much louder than his voice, it’s too jarring to go from his calm voice to WAYFAIR or whatever corporate ad is next.

  • Eckharts great, commercials not

    Does anyone else find it weird that right in the middle of a zen moment there’s a louder commercial that breaks in? Who gets the money for these ads? Oprah?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Challenges Push Us Into Presence
Q: What should one convey to someone who fears imminent death and wants to discuss treatment options?”
Approach with compassion, acknowledge fear, and support presence practice; avoid dictating medical choices and recognize that each person's path to acceptance is unique.
Challenges Push Us Into Presence
Q: Can faith or religious belief truly protect against death, or is there another perspective?
Beliefs may provide comfort or temporary cures, but the deeper teaching is that ultimate reality transcends physical death and resides in present awareness rather than in anticipated outcomes.
Challenges Push Us Into Presence
Q: If someone fears death, what practical mindset helps them face it more courageously?
Shift toward intense present-moment awareness, reduce identification with the body and ego, and recognize that the future is often a construct of the mind; acceptance of the moment can lead to healing or transcendence.
Challenges Push Us Into Presence
Q: Hello Eckhart, how do we balance how much treatment we should pursue when faced with a potentially fatal illness?
He emphasizes accepting the present moment and using this situation to deepen presence rather than fighting the illness; decisions about treatment are highly personal and should be guided by the individual's inner state rather than fear.
The World is Not Here to Make You Happy
Q: How does one know when they are ready to teach spirituality to others?
The readiness comes from internalizing teachings through life's challenges and cultivating a spacious presence with others; formal teaching can start as a modality, but the essence lies in being present rather than possessing knowledge.
