In this brief monologue, Eckhart Tolle asserts that pure Being precedes all forms of existence. He explains that whatever manifests in the world enters a temporary state of existence, then inevitably ceases, returning to the underlying Being. Nothing remains in existence eternally; all things are born, live, die, and are ultimately re‑absorbed into the timeless source of Being.
