Eckhart Tolle Jim Newman conversation (gpt) Absolutely — here’s an imagined conversation between Eckhart Tolle and Jim Newman, grounded in their known styles and teachings. The dialogue centers on the theme: “What if there is no self?” This is a central premise for both, though they approach it in markedly different ways. 🟦 Setting : A quiet studio with no audience, just two chairs, a plant, and natural light. The energy is calm and still. They’ve just shared tea. A moment of silence settles before the conversation begins.* Eckhart Tolle: There is a certain irony in asking, “What if there is no self?” Because the one who asks is precisely that illusory self. Jim Newman: Yes… the question is already the dream. It arises out of the appearance of separation. But there is no one. There never has been. Eckhart: And yet, for many, the felt experience of being someone—separate, thinking, choosing—is deeply real. Part of awakening is witnessing this illusion arise, and not identifying with it. Jim: Or… nothing needs to happen. There’s no awakening. No progress. No steps. This—what’s happening—is already everything. The search is already the dream. No one needs to see through it. Eckhart: (smiles gently) Yes. And yet, what you describe is often terrifying for the mind. It wants a path, a method, some progression to hold on to. So, I speak of presence—of being the witnessing awareness—as a doorway to what you point to. Jim: And I say even that is part of the illusion. There’s no awareness that’s separate. Presence isn’t an object to find. The one trying to find it doesn’t exist. Eckhart: Of course. And yet… a shift does occur. In my own life, there was a moment when the structure of ego collapsed. What remained was peace, spaciousness—Being itself. Jim: Yes. And that too is only a story appearing in nothing. There’s no you it happened to. Eckhart: That may be so from the absolute perspective. But the relative still appears—time, story, relationships. I often say: “You are the space in which it all happens.” Jim: And I say there is no ‘you.’ There is only what’s happening. No center. No space. Just this. Already whole. 🔸 Pause. Both sit in silence. It’s not awkward—it’s full. Eckhart: Perhaps what we offer is complementary. I help people soften into now. You point directly to the absence of anyone to soften. Jim: Maybe. Or maybe not. But there’s no one here who knows. Eckhart: (chuckles softly) Yes. And yet somehow, these words… are still spoken. Jim: They’re just sounds. Just happening. Like breathing. Like silence. 🟦 Closing Silence. They sit without words. A bird chirps outside. Nothing changes. Nothing needs to.

So it seems that the US and Israel often don’t work for the interests of Europe for example. For Europe the refugees from the wars in middle east are destabilising society. And for Europe it would have been in its interest probably to have good relations with Iran. And so on. Recently for example few European countries voted to accept Palestine as a state. Spain, Ireland, Norway etc. And then all the Trump Tariffs on Europe and Canada etc. The US attacked the ICC and Francesca Albanese and just pulled out of UNESCO because of Isrsel mostly. Europe has bad leadership unfortunately with the German Von Der Leyen etc. And Germans with their Holocaust guilt are horrible leaders. It‘s weak. Still the US has the strongest army by far and great tech and economy. I mean of course for Russia and China this would be good news. We‘ll see.

What?

Uhm yes there are interviews.

@Inliytened1 why did you change your posts?

I will only say this @Inliytened1 Just because you don’t get it or it isn’t for you or there’s no resonance doesn’t mean it’s not true or good or whatever. Maybe it’s too advanced for you.

Alright.

Ok sorry boss.

Exactly mr boss. Dunk on them. Sick people. Gnarly.

Got it boss. Thanks for your wisdom.

Yo this is still so good, classic

Alriight got it. pew pew *gunning*

It’s interesting with the resonance that there’s no self. There still is this subtle idea of this being a better self. I since early wanted to be better or different. So i had the idea that enlightenment will make me better. Like if there’s no self there’s no reason for this to be afraid of rejection, not very social, not that confident and so on. Like with there being no self i should be a mix of James Bond, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt some cult leader and Ram Dass The women should just admire me and faint and leak. But it’s not like that seemingly. With there being no self it means there isn’t anyone who could be different, no one who could be more confident or cooler and more beloved. Just no one. No one who could be even a Nanometer different or better.

I heard Angelo Di Lullo talk about circling. As a kind of modality for some type of emotion or shadow work i guess. I wondered what it looked like and somehow this video popped up. It seems quite interesting actually like a mix of therapy and spiritual work. Anywho maybe it’s interesting for someone or nobody. They went quite deep in the session.

There isn’t anybody who could drop that, either it seemingly drops or it doesn’t. Never said anything else.

For example “i" want to be more accepting of “others” lets say. But there isnt anybody in there really who could be more accepting of others. Acceptance happens or it doesn’t. Maybe sometimes it does sometimes it doesn’t but there isnt anybody who could become a more accepting me.

I’m personally a big fan of the ignore function.

I mean there’s a resonance. And there are seemingly times with „states“ of no self. But the self hasn’t dropped.

Like Jim Newman. Nice hair, decent shirt.

Lol

I mean China has a population of 1.4 B compared to like 350 M so yeah. And the West helped make China rich and still does. Not taking away from China’s hard work and strategy. But because of the huge market many westerners got greedy and technology transfer and so on. They’re playing the long game, it’s fair. Westerners can blame themselves for being greedy. People like Mershheimer are quite pessimistic for Chinas demographics. We need some good people at the helm. Von der Leyen is crap. Get Germany away from the helm anyway. Let maybe nordics lead.

This guy seems like a propaganda channel. Look at his titles smh
