  • As we close out 2023, there's nothing quite as fitting as Eckhart Tolle discussing the importance of living in the present moment.

      @@robynhope219 Yes, possible nonsense is more appropriate and Chopra is the same. I don't write nonsense. I write deep stuff such as the following story, which I believe I have shared with you in the past. Nevertheless, here goes again
      An encounter with the perfect man
      I'm sitting outside a coffee shop opposite the university where I work when a lecturer colleague, Mark, as he's going past says to me, 'What's this irresponsible Venezuelan doing in the UK?' Ignoring his remark I ask, 'Have you noticed how students seem to be quite late to classes nowadays?' He checks his stride to say, 'Well, I've noticed how people no longer seem to queue at bus stops.'
      I continue by telling him about the ring scam where the perpetrator bends just in front of one pretending he's picking up a ring he's just found; he then tries to fit it on one of his fingers, but as it doesn't, he's willing to exchange it for any cash one wishes to volunteer. Remembering how silent I used to be Mark is stunned by my chattiness, and comes to a halt. He gives me a perplexed look as if I were an extra-terrestrial. Rather than continue walking, he backtracks, enters the coffee shop, comes out with a salad and sits beside me.
      I quiz him on Bill Gates. He replies, belittling this famous person, 'Who's that? Who's that?' So I give him my thoughts on Gates through my interpretation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,

      'There are two main characters - the Witch and Snow White. The witch represents the person who, although not superior, demands superiority at whatever activity. She is the person who is fuming for not having been born superior. Whereas, Snow White is the person who is superior.'
      Giving me an inquisitive look he drawls, 'How do you think of that?' I was truly enjoying this. I was finally getting even with Mark after many years of being on the losing side.
      I go for the killer blow and tell him my thoughts on the perfect man - 'The perfect man goes to Trafalgar Square and stands there like a statue for the rest of his life.' After a silence, he exclaims, 'That's Nelson!' Again he goes silent, whilst I wait to see if the blow has done the trick. Yes it has! He can't take it any more. Suddenly he stands up; with terror filled eyes he asserts, 'It's a question of security.' I lower my head and acknowledge, 'Yes that's the word, security' Staring at me suspiciously he picks the empty plate. 'I'm going to pay the man his security,' he says, and goes into the coffee shop. He comes out, and walking close to me, giving me a distasteful, suspicious, angry and frightened look, and nearly head-butting me he exclaims, 'The birds will shit on him!' Lowering my head, I reply, 'No, he's too strong.'
      Well, it's now time to introduce the perfect man to others and as there are two colleagues in my office, I ask them, 'Do you know who the perfect man is?' both in tandem reply, 'me!' By now, I can hardly contain my laughter, but I do manage to keep a straight face and tell them, 'No, the perfect man goes to Trafalgar Square and stands there like a statue for the rest of his life.' Both immediately reply, 'The birds will shit on him!'
      My fourth introduction of the perfect man is to a Kenyan friend. The others had been from Scotland, England and Wales. It just goes to show all human beings are the same because as soon as I mention that the perfect man walks to Trafalgar Square and stands there like a statue, my Kenyan friend tightens his fingers and moving his hand as if he was about to lay something says, 'The birds will shit on him!' Again I laugh, and he remarks, “what are you some kind of psychologist?”
      Poor perfect man - he is not welcomed anywhere!
      Questions: why do the people want to attack the statue? What has the statue done to them? If they want to destroy the statue is because they fear the statue, why should they fear an inanimate object?

    I love this! It is so true. Life becomes much easier and the time given over to mental suffering is so much less. The incident becomes a rock to step over rather than a rock to trip over and you can walk onward down the path of life enjoying solving the challenge the incident presented for your/my emotional growth. Feel the love for ourselves as we grow in strength to not crumble when the wind blows our hair.

      Actually, that is in itself a low-vibration belief. Every activity and engagement can produce a "profit". Many people associate profit with greed, but that is not the right approach. Plant a seed and it multiplies. The seed is the "capital" the harvest is the "profit". Nature is designed to reproduce after its kind. 🙂

    As a personal character “you” will never live in the present moment. There is no now in time and no time in now. Only Now is present, as the present itself. This doesn’t leave YOU out. YOU are what YOU are, not who “you” think you are. What appears as the so-called human picture has no basis in reality. To use that as a guide or a sign would be futile.

    Nonsense. There is no such thing as 'the moment'' You cannot measure and define the eternal now, those are just words, symbols of the undefinable He makes the 'present' a goal, which completely traps you in an unending cycle of trying to get to something that doesn't exist. The truth is that you've always been there and he knows it.

      @jesusbermudez6775 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes it is. You cannot answer the questions, and if I gave the story to Tolle, he would not be able to answer the questions.
      I'm going to give you some details of the depth of the story. Mark tells us what the story is about when he says, "it is a question of security". He realizes that we are not talking of a particular person, but we are talking about the human body. He is saying, "the body looks for security". Btw it is ever ones body, including yours, Tolle, and any person out there you care to mention. Now because Mark does not have a secure body he gets so upset.
      Now the statue represents peace. Now if you are like the statue, and it is the only way to be, you are at peace with yourself.
      All the people who say the birds will shit on him become destroyers. They attempt to obtain peace by destroying what bothers them.
      They all said the birds will shit on him because they all made subconscious comparisons round their environment when growing up. YOU ALSO MADE THE SUBCONCIOUS comparisons. EVERY ONE DOES.
      These subconscious comparisons continue, and one has to put a stop to them. In this way one secures the body.
      The story tells you how to protect yourself against the outside. The mind secures the body, other wise the emotions will secure the body. In the case of Mark and the others who said the birds will shit on him, the emotions are securing the body.
      The world population is like Mark and the people who said "the birds will shit on him".
      Nobody is like the statue, apart from me who has a deep understand that no one has.
      As the subconscious comparisons continue in a person they take more and more the person's consciousness.
      No one is conscious of having said, "the birds will shit on him!".
      In the case of the Kenyan he is not conscious of having moved his hand. His hand was moved by the emotion of anger that is lodged in his mind.
      If one does not apply mental security, the emotions feed into the mind and take more and more control of a person's body. So when a person is walking it is not because the person is consciously moving the legs, but it is because the emotions are moving the legs.
      You have to be like the statue, it's the only way.
      I wish you well.
