Allowing Being

I am reading at the moment a wonderful book called ¨A New Earth¨by Eckhart Tolle. He is the guy who wrote ¨Power of Now¨. There is so much wisdom in those pages and it´s one of those books that transforms your psyche as you read it.

Among the many gifts that he offers in the book is the notion that the ego feeds on drama and negativity and the more we feed into and react to that, the bigger it gets in ourselves and others. No wonder the world is going mad when we are all trying to assert ourselves and convince others we are right or tell other people how to live their lives or understand ourselves so completely we forget to live... the list of dramas and issues and paths to unhappiness are countless.

Anyway in this book, he offers a perspective so wonderfully simple that i must try and share it here.

In my understanding, he talks about:

Making peace with the present moment. Fully accept it. Love it. Embrace it. Don´t try to change it. Just allow it. And when you do that, you cease to continue to feed the ego.

And remember this too will pass. All form is transitory and passing.

Oh and don´t get attached to who you think you are. For who you are cannot be found in the mind. You are the stillness. You are the expansive space between. You are the formless and not the form.

Isn´t that just beautiful.

Anyway, maybe you just need to read the book yourself.

Has anyone else read the book?
