sounds like jiddu krishnamurti

>>By al


I would like to get an article from Eckart Tolle about his work for our magazine matrix 3000 (freshly relaunched to 50.000 copies, 6 times a year).
Thank you for giving me his email-address or forwarding this mail to him.

I met eckart tolle a few years ago when I was a teenager and it was such a powerful moment of funny and aweinspiring realization that I found it unbelievable and I remember myself saying "This is crazy" and just about laughing. It's a weird memory because it pretty much happened out of time. when i left, the awareness of energy remained for awhile but then I let myself slip back into the old way. maybe I didn't have time enough to really understand what I had experienced. I now know it was just a properly experienced moment of life without any interference from my mind.Just a moment of right now where there's no room for personality to be a distraction.I no longer feel inhibited by my own thoughts. I'M FREE! P.S. I know how to spell I'm just a lazy typer.

It's amazing how few people seem to be interested in this discussion. maybe it's because I'm the only one here ooooooh it's so lonely being. By the way, Emily ,that's a pretty interesting experience. I hope you can continue to stay vigilant so that we can finaly get things moving smoothly as a human race! The more of us there are, the better things will go. we can finally have peace and allow others to live as they will-harmoniously. I'm a heroin junkie and even I can see this truth. I only put EVEN because I know that most newagers would dismiss my opinion with the words heroin involved but i could just as easily have said "bliss". Just because it takes an external form people assume that it is inherently evil but this is not so. The evil comes from the human mind. The sooner we recognize this the sooner I can breathe a sigh of relief and say Hallelughya! I hope the struggle will not have to continue for too much longer. Watching it has worn me out.

doesn't any one else have any opinions in here. Really what else can we say about Eckart tolle. he's not a god you know. He kind of looks like a garden gnome. Oh oh I'm actually worried that he might smite me with his NOW powers. I bet he can shoot bolts of blue lightening out his eyes. I'm a skinhead who lives in Montreal.i have been a brutal person. I'm not even sure whether I am ashamed of myself or not. I found this book by accident and I am a fundementaly changed man.I think, Maybe i'm actually not, I can't tell.Maybe it's all just a waste of time.I mean, so i now know who i really am but how do i convince other people, I want them to love me too. I feel four years old and i almost start to cry but then i stop myself because i realize there's no one there to care.I'm all alone and i happen to be very ugly and scary looking to most people so my isolation is tenfold. Maybe i should just go back to beating people up. It's less humiliating.Humility takes great strength of character.Strength I just may not posses

It's funny that when you meet someone and they are as simple as you are but this realization is so awe inspiring that you remember it as having met a king being yourself as a wretch begging for mercy .then you pretend that you have to find thousands of ways to impress them so that they will grace you with their company You don't know how to just ask because you are afraid of denial because your sense of self worth is mentaly connected to the answer of the king who in reality is only you but whose aproval is no less important.there are no systems or conditions or anything else that require dissolution. when this is realized they begin their destruction automaticaly.

>>By E.J. Absalom


The evil comes from my mind! how are you able dazzle people with the awesomely obvious truth! Alright. All those last people were fake names and it was really all me.Alone in aroom by myself wanting to talk to someone but it looks like i'll always be ignored unless I pretend to be rediculous or brilliant or something ele to make an impression on you all.

Don't you find it amazing how quiet this all is? The Power of Now is - has been on the best seller list. I get up every morning and listen to the cd. As a result, a shift is occurring in the way I think and walk through my day. And yes, it feels so very alone. But I like the adventure....

>>By scarlett


I live in Montreal, I was brought in a nice, calm family. I am popular within my friends and have a good sense of humor. I have what most would consider "everything". I was married for almost 17 years, with 3 kids. Even with all these "good" things in my life, I decided to separate and live a different life. Why did I need to do something else while I had "everything"? I just had to! The Power of Now tells us we are attached to the wrong "things". We are so conditioned by our set of moral values that we have completely lost ourselves in the process. This creates an internal conflict between our true nature and the things we do. The internal conflict generates negativity which ends up creating pain all around us. It's as simple as that. Find that true nature of yours and eliminate the conflicts. You won't feel like taking drugs or start beating people up to have some fun in life. That's all the book says.

>>By Marc


I find Eckhart's message is simple yet so powerful. His words do act as pointers to my ultimate treasures. Every time I listen to the CDs, its like I am listening it for the first time. At times I do feel brief moments of inner peace and real joy.

I want to comment on your input angry jack. Go back to the place where you said "I feel like im 4 years old" This is good. believe me I may be run of the mill normal compared to you in the world's eyes BUT IT DOESNT MATTER! If you follow this path to the end you will totally lose your personality and all your conditioning. It will be like you are 4 years old again. you will walk up and hug anybodies ankle and play in the dirt and be facinated with the world again.

Oh my god, you guys suck. This is crazy. I hope you all die. Please let me be. Please stop eating me. i don't want your pillow. Please close my eyes! I don't like the rain, and I don't have a brain. I don't like to smile, because I have alot of guile. Please break my knee, I'm feeling pretty glee. OhmyfuckinggodwhatthefuckamIsayingI'mabsolutelyinsanelikethatguywhosaidsomestuffaboutthings. I CANT BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER, SPRAY.

Now THAT'S what I call valuable input.

I have been a seeker of self for many years; I have gone to much length to try to attain some sort of peace and or happiness. I have tried drugs, alcohol, sex, food, relationship and jobs. I found that the drugs and alcohol helped for a time, but very temporary and harmful. Not only to myself, but countless people around me and I became addicted to the 8 minutes of peace I got from the first drink, drug or pill.
After my father insisted I read the book and with my absolute resistance I read the book 'The Power of Now' and instantly I found peace. It was very brief, but just enough to know it is possible for a brain that chatters constantly that it is possible, if I focused on the NOW.
I have been a recovering alcoholic for some time and was never really able to stay abstinent. After listening and believing the teaching and also ordering the 7 CD collection and really trying to absorb the message, I find the peace lasts longer and longer. I now know that we are all connected through the spirit and that I am not ever alone. I am not separate from; I am a part of. I have no need to defend myself, because like Eckart Tolle says, "What is it that we are defending" I could not come up with the answer other than again like he said "Ego". I have in the first time in my life truly felt peace and for that I am eternally grateful. If I had only known years ago just how simple and non-complicated the Now is…

I am a 48 year old convicted fraudster! No big deal for me of course, but probably considerable pain at the time to the people arround me!

One thing that stands out from my time in Prison was a conversation I had with a fellow in mate on my first week at Wandsworth in South London. The conversation went like this " If you could blink and then open your eyes and your sentence was over would you do it?"..... I thought for a couple of moments considering the question and then said...." Why would I, this is my life NOW and I am going to make the most of it"!

This brings me on to Tolle's theories, I firmly believe that the bodys job is to accomodate the soul on its journey through this dimention, I have no idea how the mind features in this arrangement but one thing is certain the soul lies deep within us, it exists in a place of no time, it is a place where everything is and will ever be.

Our eyes are merely portals for the soul to see through and the record of events during this life time are logged and noted by powers that we have no knowledge of.

The General Awakening that seems to be happening is slowly effecting us all as we notice the connections between ourselves and others, places and the paths we choose. The more we see the more we notice, the whole ideal of creatiion is taking shape in the average mind, its not about belief its about awareness.

My personal mission in life is to set up a network of Spritual well being centres the first will open soon in the Caribbean, they will be places where free thought will flourish very much in the NOW as this is all we ever have. Everything has and will always happen in the NOW its never been any different. The only thing that changes are the faces of the participants as they come and go!

Well done Eckhart keep channelling that information.
