This is a YouTube video titled "Why Are You Upset? with Eckhart Tolle" containing a monologue or talk by Eckhart Tolle discussing the nature of being upset and the importance of presence and consciousness, recorded in July 2025.
I'm never upset for the reason. I think that's something to understand deeply. There's always a reason out there why you think you're upset. But the reason, the true reason why you're upset is you're not present. You're not connected to the depths of your being. You are not there as consciousness. You're there as a little person. You're not rooted in consciousness by being, embodying the consciousness. You're a little person with its thoughts and reactions. And that's why you're upset. As long as you're trapped in the little personal sense of self, of course you're always upset. Even if you're not permanently upset, very soon something will happen again that will make you upset.
