I think all is well and going according to plan. Not our plan as such but the plan of the totality/ Creator/ which ever name you want to apply. Im comfortable with God but I realize a lot arent. Eckhart Tolle and others have said that the changes are coming about because The Totality wants to bring them about. see book(The Power of Now). He is also saying just be present in the Now to the best of your ability, trying to make it happen could just get in the way. Staying present in the Now is not easy so that is our part of making the effort. Regards Chris |

![]() I have all of Eckhatrt's books and have read and contemplated them many times (since 2003). I even have several of his CD's before he became famous. I use what I can of his work - what is accesable to me in my situation. I also have a few close friends that we share together with in his words of wisdom. I find it difficult to follow one external individual voice, but I truly learn from them, and as I said I apply what works for me. I think we all must develop our own version of spiritually, and the many teachers we have--like Eckhart--can be of a great assist. "We can walk this road together if our goals are all the same." I resonate with what most of the Mystic's and Sagas teach, and Eckhart is one of those. |

The books etc are great but we have to apply the knowledge as you obviously do. Was watching tv, people were raising money for charity by cycling around Scotland and one guy said I was on the bike the longest but traveled the least distance. Some times it takes time for people to wake up. I need to be patient. As I said else where if I get frustrated it because its all there for us, we have the spiritual teachers, we have the books. Yet so many dont get it at least not yet. We have a marvelous opportunity just now to move forward and the only way that can be done is doing what it takes to dissolve the ego. All the arguing, over what??? Basically its typical forum, I am right you are wrong, I draw support you draw support, flame war, the subject really has no great importance it just seems to have, any topic will do , just running programed. Ego ego--- thats what is laughing. "When you take up a position know that you are identifying with an illusion" thats a quote from "The Course in Miracles" think Eckhart used it. The moment we hold a strong point of view we will be opposed with equal strength, Thats physics and human nature. The moment that is understood, then there is no point in protesting anything. Holding your own counsel becomes very powerful and if action is needed it will be very effective. You know this HORIZONs, just writing for me. Namaste Chris |

You write for you, for me and for us all. This is what I had in mind when I made this thread - a sharing of the minds - so we can all grow into our true nature. TCIM has some great wisdom in it as well, but eventually I had to put that one down, it became too much for me. First we must have a revelation - then we need a realization - afterwards a knowing: then we can be silent and hear the stream no one else notices. |
