This is a YouTube video titled "The Being Behind the Person | Eckhart Tolle on The Essential Beingness of the Other" featuring a monologue or talk by Eckhart Tolle from August 13, 2023. The content explores the concept of distinguishing between the person and the underlying consciousness, emphasizing shared humanity beyond differences such as political opinions.
There's a person and there's the being behind the person. The same as you. You are a person, but you're also the consciousness that gives rise to the person. If you can sense that consciousness while you are listening and speaking, then the other is. Cannot be your enemy anymore. Because you can sense that with strong sense, any opinion. The essential beingness of the other. Some people say the humanity of the other. Yes, we are both humans. Beyond their political opinion. You can sense the humanity of the other that you share.
