A NEW EARTH by Eckhart Tolle

A long-time dear and trusted friend honestly replied with profound feedback that 's taken several weeks to digest, reflect upon and now put into action.

Her share:
"You also need more toile (sic) and perhaps you can get a copy of the handbook of higher consciousness by ken keyes. There is someone on the radio that espouses what he has said………………… but you are really into your own ego and not seeing “her” in a loving fashion….or she wouldn’t be so defensive. .good luck to you ... x0x0x0x0x0xx0"

At first, i read what i wanted - with my EGO filtering her words and message. My previous inclination is to take things negatively, thereby striking a defensive posture. That's precisely what my friend's saying!

Once i'm able to be in the moment, step away from my EGO and PAIN BODY...to be present (BE HERE NOW) - amazingly i hear without prejudice, w/o agenda and feel no defensiveness. Ha! this is acceptance!!!

This takes awareness that i am slowing learning to recognize - when i'm identifying with whatever's making me 'lose it' - that's when i leave the present and am either in yesterday or tomorrow. Either place is unreal.

Awareness, acceptance and then action. Recovery tools i first heard waaay back in '88 in Alanon.

Why has it taken 21 years to learn this tool?

So - my question and challenge is this:

HOW DO I SEE 'HER' IN A LOVING FASHION?

Ideas, thoughts, experiences, suggestions are most and always welcome!!

InJoy!
