The test that takes less time than unlocking your phone | Eckhart Tolle

Think about how much of what you felt today was a reaction to someone you will never meet. Eckhart Tolle describes the mechanism plainly. The phone comes out in every spare moment, usually with nothing to check, just to see what is going on. And what is going on is other people's reactions, which produce reactions in you, and then you add your own. He calls it the hive mind. Your personal mind, so-called, links into everyone else's, and a great deal of your emotional weather for the day is being made by strangers. The cost is not only attention. It is that you are never simply comfortable with where you are and completely there, because there is always something to look at. And the moment you reach for it, you are back in the mind. Then the part that changes the picture. The gap you keep filling was never empty. The half-minute at the lights, the wait at the counter, are not dead time waiting for content. They are where spaciousness arises, and you can feel the qualitative difference in your own energy immediately, in one wait, by not reaching. His suggestion is modest. Use the phone when there is a real purpose, which there often is. Not as a reflex. And when the hive turns on someone, including you, notice what it is actually reaching: the image, not the person underneath. He says that is a great opportunity for awakening, and that there are easier ways. Eckhart goes much further into this in the full session. Join Eckhart Tolle Now to watch. 👇
