ECKHART TOLLE’S SECRET TO THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION
FINDING THE LIFE UNDERNEATH YOUR LIFE
Through self-observation, more presence automatically comes into your life.
Don’t judge or analyze what you observe because the moment you realize you’re not present — you are present. Writes Tolle.
Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction.
Tolle advised that we ignore our life situation for a while and pay attention to our lives. As Tolle clarified, “you cannot be both unhappy and fully present in the now.”
What you referred to as your life should be more accurately be called your life situation. What’s the difference?
Your life situation exists in time.
While your life is now.
Your life situation is mind-stuff.
Your life is real.
It’s not about solving your problems; It’s about realizing that there are no problems.
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment. As there are no problems in the now, there is no fear either. — Eckhart Tolle.
