Descriptions:

The conditioned mind will often create feelings out of fear, and these should not be the guiding force in your life. Eckhart urges us instead to discover the deeper feelings that arise from Presence—the source of true intuition—and to let that guide your actions.

  1. Love this. James Hillman writes of this in the Soul's Code. He chooses to validate his feelings w his rational mind. I shared it w a college instructor. She could not believe. Perhaps rationality needs to feel in alignment w the gut. Eliminate conflict. Live in peace.

  2. Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
    One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
    I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
    So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
    In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
    The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
    Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
    Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership—and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world—is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

  3. Everyone want to teach n for people to listen n believe them, but I personally think for myself, I will not listen to others to tell me my feelings are wrong ,when I ave proven it to be right

  4. Feelings are feelings they can change by the minute intuitions instead are our gifted personal compass ,never ignore them and please don't confuse them with feelings . If you pay attention very closely you can see they appear in different manners , feelings are like a flash ,a fire and immediate , intuitions instead are just a very quick pause of thoughts that might stimulate emotions afterwards.

  5. Based on Tolle's association with Oprah and Oprah's association with John of God, I would never be interested hearing anything that these people have to say.
    They are masters of deception. Evil disguised as good.
    Please do not believe me. Please do your research

  6. I've been experiencing involuntary muscle movements on forehead and top of head after too much meditation I starting awaking process a year ago can anyone offer help how to balance body and mind thank you

  7. I would add this. Sometimes, conflict is not expected. For example, in the case of an employer letting go of an employee, or many employees, based on older age for example. This happened all over the world at the start of the pandemic. Most employees who were let go say nothing, challenge nothing. This is not right. It is better to fight in this case. Not for yourself necessarily, but for others who lack the courage to stand up for themselves. Sometimes we must act to engage in conflict, not because it is the expected course of action, but because it is unexpected, and because it the right thing to do.

  8. This is one of my favourite teachings. The story of the room being rented was so funny. Float tank :-). I can imagine the poor girl with the early Eckhart being very spiritual.
