“So the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidenfity from your mind.”  Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now, pg. 21 I’ve identified this is a really week area of mine. I HAVE noted that first thing in the morning, I feel like I’m arriving back at a mind [...]

On page 119 of  ”Practicing the Power of Now,” Eckhart Tolle uses the phrase “surrendered action.” I’ve decided to make it the focus of my week. Daily I struggle–particularly toward the end of the work day–with a degrading level of consciousness as the hours tick by. This is partially due to mismanagement of my energy [...]

“Take responsibility for your state of consciousness, now.” – Eckhart Tollle, “The Question of Personal Responsibility,” http://www.eckharttolletv.com/# This is a simple statement with world changing implications. It encapsulates my personal situation: the deep desire to work for the evolution of humanity through the only means available to me: personal evolution. (I’m liking the two colon formula.) Why [...]

I really like this blog thing. It adds an additional subtle (digital) element to my personal identity in material reality.

Yesterday and today I was buoyed by this passage from The Power of Now on page 69: “In the absence of psychological time, your sense of self is derived from Being, not from your personal past.

On this day I spent some time in Second Life, and later went for a hike. In Second Life, I had my first extended interactions with others. It was quite illuminating.
