The Power Of Now By Eckhart Tolle - Book Club/Spiritual Journal by MizMyColi(f): 10:45pm On Aug 03, 2015
Phew! Phew!
I'm doing this....finally.
I've had the thought of opening this thread since today, and I kept shifting it forward.
[img]https://i.onthe.io/0fgjhs1qtcbn2df8cg.c1b216f9.jpg[/img]
I thought to myself that since I have a hard back journal and a smooth biro for writing, an online journal is not necessary.

But then it occurred to me that lives could be touched and changed forever, just by sharing my gleaning and insights from the book.

Then again, I was worried of how consistent I'd be....
I want to write about my learnings from this book on this thread, not because I'm playing to the gallery, but because I'm truly inspired.

I have barely gone past page 6 and I feel this surge of peace...I feel like I'm coming home, to my true self, to whom I'm meant to be (One with my creator, my environment, and all that is contained therein).

Oh, please feel free to come around when you can and share insights too on topics revolving around the theme of this book.

*Deep Sigh*
Well.....here we go.
Let light and love see us through this transformational journey.

Okay gringringrin
I feel excited doing this.
I hope I don't get myself into another rabbit hole.
I've always had flair for the abstract and spirituality as a whole.

I'm that kind of person who will most likely embrace the true essence of all religions.

I look forward to building a home of sorts here.
One that is filled with light, and positive energy.
A place for reinvention, refreshment, recuperation, and retracing.

Now I'm reminded of one of my favourite sayings...
I used to use it a lot when I joined this forum.....

Life is a journey, you may be far ahead of me, I may be far ahead of you...either ways, let's give eachother grace.

[size=14pt]INTRODUCTION/FOREWORD[/size]


*****
There are more advanced stages of human development. As a person reaches this advanced level of spiritual maturity, extraordinary capacities begin to blossom: of love, vitality, personhood, bodily awareness, intuition, perception, communication and volition.
*****

****
There are no absolute boundaries between the body/ego and the totality of existence.
The belief that thoughts, attitudes and healing intentions of an individual can influence the physiology of another person is very well supported by scientific studies into the healing power of prayer.
*****



*****
The crowning glory of human development does not rest in our ability to think and reason, although this is what separates us from animals.

Our ultimate Destiny....
Is to reconnect with our essential being and express from our extraordinary, a divine reality which we translate into the ordinary physical world, Moment by Moment....

There is no spiritual truth that you will be told now, that deep within you, you do not know already.
What anyone can do is to remind you of that which you have long forgotten.
Then a living knowledge, ancient, yet ever new, is brought about to your immediate consciousness.


One of the things which the writer seeks to point out is that which is FALSE within us. This is as it relates to the nature of human consciousness and dysfunction. This falseness which seeks to perpetuate itself in us manifests through the wars we fight against one another, strifes in our relationships, anxieties, worries, depressions...etc.

Islam beckons on you. I don't mean the repulsive kinda of islam as seen in Nigeria or some militant middle east.

I've undertaken some journey to verify some life Given. Armed with a philosophic background I ventured. From been with the best known and proven Ifa diviners,Dibias,Prophets,prophetess,Alfas, black and white magic,hanging out in some high mountains where angels waltz name them for I've seen it all.

I've questioned everything given in my existence and been able to build my own philosophy doing and living my own existence my own way. There's much to learn and experience in this existence but the unfortunate thing is that we all have limited time frame.

I've learnt to store most of these experiences inside my belly. I'm sensitive to how some people handle informations beyond them. Try islam let's see what you get.

Hmmmmm
If you don't mind, you can share.

What I meant was that the essence of all religions boils down to living live here, in the now, and rising to our true destiny, which lies in discovering our profound interconnectedness, and living out our divinity...whilst in our human body.

Talking of Islam, could you please point me to some literature?

There are many conflicting literatures out there on islam. I would advice you check yourself into a masjid and learn “what it feels like to be a bat” according to Thomas Nagel. I'm a believer that the best form of knowledge are subjective based. I do listen to Khalid Yasin speak.

Let's not derail this beautiful thread of yours. Will comment on eckhart tolle love relationship.

Hello MizMycoli. Thanks for the thread. The fundamental issue that one has to clarify is to "define" what consciousnesses is and ascertain if there are gradations of consciousnesses or if consciousnesses is one and the same. Is the consciousness that is in GOD the same as the consciousnesses that are in human beings? Do bacteria, viruses, etc "have" consciousnesses? Are all consciousnesses eternal or are there gradations of it that began at point? These questions are important if an inference is to be made on whether all truth slumber in us, awaiting awaking or if some truth lie above us and can only come to us by the grace of GOD via revelation or if some truth are completely beyond us that we will never know of it either by personal experiencing or by revelation. Stay blessed

Thank you, and good evening.
I think I have some answers, but to establish base facts,
One pertinent question I would like to ask you is this...

Who is God?
What does God mean to you?
Are you a Christian, if yes, do you believe that your God is superior to every other God out there?

Hello. Thanks for your reply. My brief answer to your questions are penciled below:
1. God is LIFE, the the eternal source for all that is, the creator of all the worlds and its self-conscious, conscious and unconscious inhabitants.
2. The eternal living POWER who in his incomprehensible grace created me, and imbued me with the talents to find and experience supreme happiness in his wonderful creations
3. I am a servant of God and his son Jesus Christ. But I do not adhere to any religion, Christianity or otherwise. God is God and no religion, sect or philosophy can lay claim to "owning" God. Is it not an irony, even sacrilegious for creatures to claim that the creator (God) belongs to them. All creatures have the potential or talent to find the living God. Stay blessed.
