Eckhart Tolle on Finding Your Purpose
Backstage at Oprah’s Super Soul Sessions 2, Eckhart Tolle speaks:
“Many people have not found their sense of specialness. That’s not ego, or comparative, ‘I’m more special than you,’ where you feel superior or inferior to someone else, it’s a specialness that honors the uniqueness of you and the way in which you can contribute in your own unique way to this universe. Who is the “you” that contributes in this unique way? It’s not the personality “you” it’s the deeper consciousness that manifests temporarily as “you” this particular person with a name and a physical body and a psychological entity. The “you” is you find your specialness when you go deeper into yourself and find the power that transcends the personality/mind (which can be in service of that)
“The light of God that shines through every human being is their innermost essential identity. In that sense, you are special because you are an emanation of The One in the same way that the sunlight is an emanation of the sun. When you realize you’re an emanation of that One, you realize your specialness.
The second is the way that manifests in this outer world: A created work or service with other human beings. It’s not everyone’s destiny to create something huge. The frequency holders, people who are happy doing little things, don’t have huge ambitions. They’re happy working as gardeners and enjoy every moment of it. That’s a way of being special, when everyone who comes into contact with you feels better after coming into contact with you. They love what they do.”
