Peterson criticises Eckhart Tolle in one of his videos, mistaking him to be a humanist (he is more of a mystic, though...). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEnQ78FkdaE

Funnily enough, Eckhart did mention the humanist movement, in one of his videos. He related this to a period of more awareness and awakening that was brought to the masses.

Video of Eckhart Tolle on Sufism. He discuss poets like Rumi and Hafez.

05:35 consciously pulling out darkness/fear/terror gives more control over it (before doing so, however, you need to be conscious and aware), surrendering to it (not fighting it)

• see zk on bringing out darkness to shine light unto it (4 section)

07:00 ego as real personality, has a more complete knowledge

Jung seems to have a diff concept of ego than, for example, Eckhart Tolle

26:00 being friendly to present moment is Wu Wei

(linking eckhart his teachings to flow)

09:00 Suffering on journey to consciousness (before it arises)

01:00 being present within & without, “in both worlds”

See idea on “master of both worlds” (Campbell) & extending oneself to the heavens & earth (Miyamoto Musashi)

purpose as not my purpose, what does the greater purpose want (power of now written through Eckhart) "what does god/life want from me, rather than what do I want from life" (finding place in the whole)

silent spaces as meditative practice (using throughout day)

02:30 No media/lessened consumption to remain more present

Auto pilot questions for silencing thoughts - are my thoughts useful? - how do they behave?

This kind of speaks to having awareness, and the ability to neutralise thoughts, using self-inquiry (not destroying thoughts, as Eckhardt Tolle does seem to suggest)

Här verkar han utgå från att det faktiskt finns minst fyra "portar" vilket stämmer överens med Carl Jungs teori att den MINST utvecklade funktionen hos en individ är "porten till det undermedvetna" varigenom all mänsklig transformation sker.

Man går helt enkelt in genom sitt MINST utvecklade personlighetsdrag och kan då nå sitt meditativa jag som ligger under och bakom alla personlighetsdrag. De olika personlighetsdragen är tänkande (eld), kännande (vatten), kroppsliga intryck (jord) respektive intuition (luft).

Det är i sin tur samma sak som indiankulturernas medicinhjuls fyra väderstreck med människan i mitten.
