You’re Not a Person, You’re Presence | 20 Minute Meditation with Eckhart Tolle

Death is a reality of life. Each day that passes is a step closer to that reality. Fatigue, burn-out, frustrations, brokenness, sickness and loneliness are but signs to remind us of our mortality.

an amazing opportunity to reach this generation where they live… in cyberspace! To keep this emerging generation interested in their spiritual growth, we won’t be very successful relying on the traditional methods the church has grown accustomed to. We need to plaster our pearls of wisdom in the places they will be exploring, and we need to present them in fresh new ways. It has to be interesting, edgy, unexpected…

Beyond champagne parties and the ball dropping in Times Square, the concept most linked to New Year’s is the (dreaded) Resolution. As we make our way through the holidays, we are always dancing on that time line that will culminate January 1st, when we resolve to trade our self-defeating habits for ones that will bring us greater health, joy, and prosperity.

It is common for people to think that it is ok to indulge in their negative emotions/feelings, and one of the most common new age phrase is to ‘go with the flow’. I think this phrase can be pretty misleading. I mean, what flow is this? This could well be a negative flow if the person is in a negative state of mind, or this flow could be a spirit driven flow if this person’s state of mind is balanced, even and aligned.

Perhaps within us, a part of the image of God, we inherently understand that there is bad with the good, and it is part of life’s journey to sort out the two without harming the good. Perhaps this is the very nature of God, and when we believe in an inescapable hell, we are mistaken about what is ultimately going to happen to us; we are mistaken about the limitations of God’s love and His intent to eventually bring everyone back home to Him.

The most difficult challenges we face can also provide us with the greatest opportunity to see ourselves more clearly, develop our character, and polish our souls. How can we see the blockages in our lives as a gift and a calling to create a more interesting and beautiful life? During a recent trip to the California desert, I took a hike in Tahquitz Canyon with my husband, Scott.

I read wonderful words the other day from a fellow Tao teacher. It was about both men and women going through a mid-life crisis… or mid-life awakening, as I prefer to call it.

Upon sleeping, be sure your alarm clock is set for about 2 to 3 hours and close to your ears, then sleep. When awoken, of course shut off the alarm clock and allow your exhausted self to remain in bed looking up, or sideways, or whichever position you desire. See if you can reach the point where you can tell you are getting out of your body.

Feedback is an important aspect of learning. We have to gauge our progress by signs of success or failure. In school, instructors give us comments on our papers, or scores on our tests. And in social settings, we judge our acumen by the responses we receive. Do they laugh at my jokes? Do they want to be my friend?

What is intuition and how do you learn to use it to your advantage? Have you ever felt like you recognize a place although you know you have never been there before? Have you been guided to take a different route to work one day only to find out later there was a traffic jam along your usual path?
