    To whoever is reading this I ask you to close your eyes and repeat “I am not this body, I am not even this mind.” You are god experiencing this human life from this unique perspective. Nothing is permanent, so relax and enjoy the ride. We are all one in the end.
    Thank you my beloved Eckhart 😊

    I'm an illustrator/tattoo artist and i'm always looking online for picture references of flowers and leaves. After having an influx of floral related designs booked in I started to notice the leaves on the floor a lot more and I found some small, dead flowers. I took them home and was amazed at all the detail and information in just a husk of a flower that had shriveled for winter. It ooked just as amazing, if not more than if the flower had been alive. Now I see a lot more when i'm out. It's so strange how disconnected from our enviroment we are.

    Here's a typical case of "not-being-present". It seems, almost 100 years ago, we where no better off than we are now... Thank you Eckhart for your teachings!
    Self- Unconscious by Thomas Hardy
    Along the way
    He walked that day,
    Watching shapes that reveries limn,
    And seldom he
    Had eyes to see
    The moment that encompassed him.
    Bright yellowhammers
    Made mirthful clamours,
    And billed long straws with a bustling air,
    And bearing their load
    Flew up the road
    That he followed, alone, without interest there.
    From bank to ground
    And over and round
    They sidled along the adjoining hedge;
    Sometimes to the gutter
    Their yellow flutter
    Would dip from the nearest slatestone ledge.
    The smooth sea-line
    With a metal shine,
    And flashes of white, and a sail thereon,
    He would also descry
    With a half-wrapt eye
    Between the projects he mused upon.
    Yes, round him were these
    Earth's artistries,
    But specious plans that came to his call
    Did most engage
    His pilgrimage,
    While himself he did not see at all.
    Dead now as sherds
    Are the yellow birds,
    And all that mattered has passed away;
    Yet God, the Elf,
    Now shows him that self
    As he was, and should have been shown, that day.
    O it would have been good
    Could he then have stood
    At a focussed distance, and conned the whole,
    But now such vision
    Is mere derision,
    Nor soothes his body nor saves his soul.
    Not much, some may
    Incline to say,
    To see in him, had it all been seen.
    Nay! he is aware
    A thing was there
    That loomed with an immortal mien.

    The book Making sense of nonsense by Raymond Moody is the most important book ever written. It is teaching humanity a new skill that may appear to seem like a pointless skill to learn, but that is just to keep ignorance away. Wisdom can see the wisdom of learning to understand things that do not currently make sense to you. God's LAW (love and wisdom) to you all. RW ❤️ 🙏

Learning to care for myself, as a sick child rather than a lazy invalid, has been a slow-move, and yet! It’s provided me with. Level of self Love I never could’ve imagined.

      It is possible to be present with pain, but it takes practice. Try accepting that the pain is there, but let your thoughts about it drift away. Be aware of your resistance to it and let that go, too. Like any other thoughts, they will return, so you just keep recognizing them and letting them go.
      Buddhists call thoughts and emotions that make pain worse ‘second arrows’ The first arrow is inevitable, but the second arrow is not. 🙂
      Jon Kabbat Zinn says put out a welcome mat for the pain. His cd “Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief” is a fantastic resource for learning these techniques.

      I had the same feeling and by studying spiritual psychology I discovered we have many traumas from this life and past lives . I had to go into THEM and look at it and change the decision I made to let this effect me just as Eckhart teaches . Just as a old junk file or virus program effects a computer so does a trauma from the past effects us and we have to go in discover it and delete it .

      Maybe tryng to fix it is "the problem"?... no need to fix anything?

      @@lauralunaazul certainly when it comes to mental wellbeing, trying to fix the problem can most definitely become the problem. I used to spend 95% of my waking day thinking about how to not allow thoughts control my happiness and well-being. Madness but sadly when your caught up in it,, its really difficult to escape. Not thinking about the thoughts is the only way out of a, problem caused by thinking about the thoughts our minds dream up. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Wow! Amazing! I have a fever now and therefore perceived that information in a little different way, than I usually would. 😀🤒 But isn't that "feeling of your body",or "inner energy" just the circulation of blood in our body? Or not?🤔 🤷
