Spirituality and wealth are compatible when one applies the law of detachment. The law of detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This does not mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You don't give up the intention, and you don't give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the result. Personally I can say that spirituality helps me in pursuing successfully what I love to do... and that helps actually my performance and the results, materially as well.

wow that's a great point! How do I become detatched to something/someone I've already created an attachment to? Let's say I have an attachment to food. By Eckhart's words here, he says just because you fast for 10 days, it doesn't eliminate that attachment to food within you. In fact you'll become more obsessed with food...So how to break the attachment that is already there?

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God"... I feel that this has usually been poorly understood (excuse the pun). This is an analogy. A 'rich' man means 'one who has accumulated many attachments and whose sense of 'self' is inflated... as opposed to one who is 'childlike' and 'innocent'. 'Innocence' is the nakedness of the Self - the presently-experiencing-Consciousness without layers of stories/beliefs about one's self.

In Capitalist societies especially, we are told since young that if you want to be loved and accepted, you will get that if you are wealthy and outwards successful. This is the basis of the unconscious mind for most. This leads to a lot of superficial thinking and relations.

Richness SPIRITUALLY, INTELLECTUALLY AND MATERIALLY. The Balance matters. Being Rich is not non-spiritual, what is non-spiritual is when a person becomes rich identifies herself/himself with the material richness, without understanding Richness is having three substantial aspects, and the disbalance of it is the root cause of various problems. You may have compassion, the zeal to help other, if so be Rich (in three aspects) and we've to keep this in mind, money never makes man, man makes money and love for money is a bad idea, but money is God in action, which gives you the scope to become a center of distribution in the material world. For intellectual and spiritual richness also sometimes we purchase good books of Echkart Tolle. ;) NOTHING WRONG! IF THE PERCEPTION IS PURE!

in the statement, the writer describes feelings of "fluctuating" and "wanting more..." (material wealth). he also uses the word, "paths" to describe the pursuit of spirituality and of wealth. it struck me that neither of these expressions can exist in the now, in the stillness of the present moment. just a thought... much love!

the other thing is, when you enter the state of awakening or enlightenment, you carry the burden of the whole humanity, these people feel direct responsibility to make sure that every single human being is cared for, every time people are being hurt, these people feel the part of themselves being hurt in other words he can really feel your pain, that's why he cries all the time, so for him to help others is deeply embedded within him

i've watched hundreds of hours of Tolle's videos. This one is qualitatively very different. I find that fascinating. His comments seem like an "explanation" rather than manifestations of timeless wisdom that usually flow from him. I offer this humbly and without judgment: He seems less present in this video than I've ever seen him. Absent is his usual wonderful smile and flowing vitality. He looks tired and weighted down. I'm not sure I've every heard him refer to "reality" like he does here. I may very well be projecting. The legs that carry me on my journey are still so shaky, and I certainly do not offer these observations of any kind of criticism. Tolle's teachings literally transformed my life, and I can't express the gratitude I feel. I just cannot help but be struck by how different his "physical form" seems in this video. Not even the most enlightened among us can be beaming with radiant light all the time, for sure. I would think the world could get heavy for a spiritual master. I cannot imagine what he has to deal with in the world of form.

Absolutely true! All humans, regardless of our lessons on life, are still subject to our primordial cognitive weaknesses as fear, anxiety, and worry from time to time. The best we can do is to constantly remind ourselves of our higher consciousness and how it can always guide us through any troubles times. Hopefully, any depressive states we may enter in again we'll vanquish and learn from them so as to improve our mindful fortitude. Life is like the waves of the ocean. There will be ups and downs, crests and troughs. But overall, it keeps on moving.

I'm by no means suggesting that Tolle is being dishonest, and I don't know why you would make that assumption. First of all, I don't think you even know the man. so you could have no idea how his finances are handled/managed, and no one possesses the ability to interpret his intentions or his level of "compassion," as you call it. For all we know he's massively philanthropic, and, besides, I see zero relationship between spiritual enlightenment and income/revenue. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are two of the world's richest men, and both will do more in the name of charity during their lives than many countries do. We have no reason to think Eckhart Tolle does or does not act in a similar way. I mean no offense by this, but perhaps this has much more to do with your own biases toward money. I see people all the time criticize others for their sizable incomes, suggesting that "the wealthy" should be more "compassionate" and share what they've got. But those same people (I'm not referring to you; I don't know you) don't share what THEY'VE got. They justify it by saying they don't "have enough," but that rich people do. That's faulty logic, though. Compassion has nothing to do with how much you have. It has everything to do with what's in your heart and what you do for others. And, again, I mean no offense by this, but you simply cannot possibly know those things about the man you just accused of dishonesty.

Spirituality and Wealth is not a question of exclusivity, but a focus of attention on EGO. It starts with individual, then family, then clans, countries, organised religions. It's all false IDeals, what the ego IDentify with. There are spiritual stages to wealth as well as Chastity though. Both are attachments, a binding/grasping with a conditional love. The only primal unconditional love is maternal love, bc it's a derivative of ONE consciousness: giving, unconditional, the best for the recipients. Jesus, Buddha and most sages gave up clinging opposite sex love due to a natural developing stages and that's why it's written into organised religions. But it has to be natural/genuine and realized by self, not forced rules. When you put the most potent energy into a pressure cooker, what we saw are the modern tragedies of Catholic church.

Beautifully put! I too have struggled with conflicting sexual urges between lust and genuine love. As a young man, I personally don't see much urgency and importance when it comes to mating with as many women as possible, like society has pressured us into. I prefer to have a meaningful relationship with a women whom I can share anything I want with and vice versa, instead of finding out how many women I can sleep with in a month. And if I don't find that women in my life, then that's perfectly fine. I don't need external affection from somebody else in order to have a fulfilling life; that's what life long goals and purpose are for. It just becomes irritating at times trying to explain to people how it's not necessary to have a girlfriend all of the time. Loving partners should be seen as a compliment to your happiness, not the determinant.

Maternal love isn't unconditional, it's entirely contingent on the child being MINE. It's the very definition of egoic love. This is easily proven by the fact that mothers love THEIR child infinitely more than some random child they see on the news or meet in the street.
@corpuscallosum4677
7 жыл бұрын
+M If put it into "primal" context, as an instinct ( psychology proves it again and again that mothers' feeding of their very young is stronger than their own will to live), maternal love is unconditional and the closest common human being's manifestation of true love. Yes, there are egoic feelings involve esp. with social conditioning, individual perspectives towards life and a child's growing stages later, but I don't agree with your definite/pessimistic conclusion that IT'S totally conditional. The selfless, ego-less love is real, pulsating and endowed to all. That's why on one spectrum you see sages ( funny most of them were/are male energy) but on everyday level, you see maternal energy manifesting in majority of selfless females.

Corpus Callosum yet, many mothers develop very conditional loves for their children, withholding love when a child is not able to fulfill her expectations on certain things. Some have absolutely zero care or love for their child when it doesn't serve them. In most others, it may still manifest into some kind of control and dominance over a child's life. Unconditional love of a mother is not a given. It still depends on the individual. But it is a great opportunity to discovering and growing into a true unconditional love.

Don't miss the point. If you have a lot of money and goods It seems to me you are not in the spiritual path. Unless of course you've just started. But in the long term you should give away most of them because compassion is part of the spiritual path and if you look around the world needs help. There are people suffering and if you have the means you should do something.
