I recently read Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth and gained many valuable insights from his perspective, so I subscribed to his regular email updates. He just posted a video about the current situation that I strongly recommend watching. I hope you enjoy it. Below are a few key messages that I think are tremendously useful to remember, particularly with current global events.

  1. The most vital thing in any situation, is the state of consciousness with which you meet the situation. Pay more attention to that than the news. That is something you control, but you can’t control the external situation.
  2. Suffering is a call to awaken to something more real, something more permanent, something deeper within you so that you are no longer caught up in your anxiety and fear about the future and hypothetical scenarios.
  3. Take advantage of suffering when it shows up in your life to grow. Growth and awakening don’t happen in our comfort zone, they happen when we are being stretched and challenged, most often in painful ways.
