"Class We Have A Guest Today...."

By

Do you feel sad, guilty, hurt, fearful, happy or any other number of emotions? Now let me ask you, does the “you” that notices those emotions feel that way? I am guessing that you may be scratching your head now. “What do you mean the me that notices, aren't I me?”, you might be asking. Of course you are you, but has it ever occurred to you that the real “you” is the one who notices what is going on with your emotions.

Stop for a moment and look at the things that you might say to other people, things like “I feel a bit depressed today”, or “I feel great”. When you say things about yourself feeling a certain way, who is the one that notices how you are feeling? If you are depressed, is the person within you who notices the depression, depressed as well? If you stop to notice, that person within who notices these things is more like a neutral 3rd party. Somewhat like the man who came into your 3rd grade classroom just to observe the class. The man who sat quietly at the back of the room just taking notes.

This observer is the true you, the you that is not effected by the externalities of the world. The you that is not subject to the faulty beliefs and programming that started the moment you arrived in the doctors arms.

The you that can shine light on every event or happening in your life. The light being true joy, unbreakable joy, the joy that has no opposite. The true you is unaffected by pleasure. You see pleasure comes with a price, the yin and the yang if you will. While joy has no other side to it's coin. When you toss the joy coin you get joy on both sides, much the opposite of the pleasure coin, that when tossed is either going to give you great pleasure or great pain.

To experience the true “you” more often, simply slow down and begin paying attention the observer sitting quietly at the back of the classroom in your mind.

Hi, Eric.  Sounds like you're listening to (reading?) the Eckhart Tolle book featured on Oprah.

Quite a mind-stretcher, right?

Actually I bought that book about 8 months ago on the bargain shelf at Barnes and Nobel and read it then, prior to oprah getting her mitts on it.  I have been telling people to read it ever since, but nobody was until oprah, now those same people are telling me that I need to read the book...Go figure?

I read about 3 books a week hoping to take myself to a new level of unconcsious competence, that is to say, making it part of my mind without the need for pulling directly from any source and coming to my own conclusions.

I hope you are enjoying the book, if you are currently reading it, if you have not checked out the Power of Now, you should check that out as well.  Another great read is Alan Watts The Wisdom of Insecurity
