What's Left? (An Essay)

in , , ,

if you didn’t

think about it

talk about it

read about it

write about it

what would be left?

that’s all there is

if you didn’t feel the need

to do something about it

to fill it in

to intervene

to try so hard

to make a plan

to resist or avoid it

to judge or control it

to have it be different

to place a standard upon it

if you could just not touch it

accept what is and what isn’t

what would be left?

that’s all there is

True Salvation (An Excerpt)

in , , , , ,

From 'The Power Of Now' by Eckhart Tolle:

▽

True salvation is a state of freedom -- from fear, from suffering, from a perceived state of lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging.

It is freedom from compulsive thinking, from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.

Your mind is telling you that you cannot get there from here.

Something needs to happen, or you need to become this or that before you can be free and fulfilled. It is saying, in fact, that you need time -- that you need to find, sort out, do, achieve, acquire, become, or understand something before you can be free or complete.

You see time as the means to salvation, whereas in truth it is the greatest obstacle to salvation.

You think that you can't get there from where and who you are at this moment because you are not yet complete or good enough, but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there.

You 'get' there by realizing that you are there already.

You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God.

So there is no only way to salvation.

Any condition can be used, but no particular condition is needed.

However, there is only one point of access: the Now. There can be no salvation away from this moment.

You are lonely and without a partner? Enter the Now from there.

You are in a relationship? Enter the Now from there.

There is nothing you can ever do or attain that will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment.

This may be hard to grasp for a mind accustomed to thinking that everything worthwhile is in the future.

Nor can anything that you ever did or that was done to you in the past prevent you from saying yes to what is and taking your attention deeply into the Now.

You cannot do this in the future.

You do it now or not at all.

Most would rather have another cater / adapt to their dysfunction(s) / delusion(s) than to do the work necessary to correct it themselves.

(Peep this Mandy Bite)

And most would rather do that for another to avoid their own discomfort in taking that same responsibility for themselves.
