highfive Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 This may be a wee bit off-topic, but, a few months ago I read The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I was pleasantly surprised - I actually thought the book was very good, and I found that I had a different (calmer, gentler, more understanding, more caring) attitude after I read the book. It was like I didn't really care if bad things happened to me, that I could survive anything - quite inspirational and strengthening. Anyway, fast forward to today: That New Earth feeling has faded and I want it back! I don't want to read the entire book again. Are there websites, or short readings that would help me to regain the feeling? Thanks in advance, ^5
Ronni_W Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 hey ^5, how's it going? I'm not familiar with that book -- is it about the "2012 energies", "ascension consciousness", crystal grids and such? Cos I do have a few authors and sites *if* (BIG if) that's what you're talking about. Also that maybe the 'spirituality & religion' forum might score you more responses, *if* that's what you're looking for. R

I've got them both on my bedside and I read them regularly (a few pages at a time) before I go to sleep. Keeps the worries of the day in perspective

I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but the book deals with identifying feelings & reactions from the Ego, living in the Now, that sort of thing. Its not overly religious, but there are references to the teaching of various religious leaders. I found it to be well written, and it did have a strong impact on my thought processes, along with other advice from all the great people here at LS Best, ^5
Ronni_W Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Hey ^5. Things are good in Toronto, too, thanks. I think I have some idea of what you're seeking...my suggestions would still run in more of a spiritual direction, though, so I'll send you a PM rather than go "off forum" Best to you and your family, too. Ronni
headlesschicken Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 the power of now is fantastic as well. i would suggest some mindfulness meditation. it's all about being present in the here and now. that's where nothing can hurt you.
