A short spoken excerpt from a YouTube video where the speaker (Eckhart Tolle) invites the listener to notice their current sense perceptions without mental commentary. Using the image of an infant’s innocent perception, the speaker guides a brief inward exercise and asks whether the listener can simply "be here" in the present moment.
Are you able to take in the totality of your sense perceptions at this moment without any mental commentary? Just be like a maybe like a one year old child hasn't learned language yet and just looks in wonder and amazement at the world? You don't have to look like that, I'm just proving. So you look around in the innocent perception without. Is it possible for you? Only you can answer that for yourself, but not through words, through just knowing. Are you able to be here in this moment?
