This paradigm and perception are gaining more and more momentum and believers worldwide, and are led by the author and spiritual guide Eckhart Tolle. Where everything looks so small and unimportant, yet everything is so marvelous and simple, and life is nothing but magic and beauty?
Have you ever experienced a moment where it seemed like time stopped, and something opened within you? Have you ever had a moment in life, when you faced something beautiful and eternal like a sunset, the ocean, the stars, or a beautiful piece of music, and your mind suddenly became quite and still? “Life is the dancer and you are the dance.” ~ Eckhart Tolle ~ Why do so few people actually live in harmony and ease?Ĭould it be that there is so much more in us than our thoughts and feelings? Awakening into a new awareness It’s as if everyone is living in the same state, where things are not working as they should do you know anyone that is genuinely happy and fulfilled in his or her life? There is so much suffering in your life, in the lives of those around you, and our collective life as a society. They have, or think they have.” ~ Eckhart Tolle ~ It can’t be true, right? It just doesn’t make sense that everyone around you is wrong, and everyone is missing something so big and meaningful. You’ve lived your entire life in this unquestionable state where this is the reality and that’s just how life is. The western civilization puts the intellect on a pedestal, and in our culture the mind is perceived as the most important thing, above all.īecause, after all, “you” know “yourself” ever since “you” remember “yourself”. The idea, or revelation, that your mind is not who you are, is not trivial for most people. The thoughts and emotions.” ~ Eckhart Tolle ~ Or is there something beneath that? Something more profound? What if your mind is not who you are? When you are enjoying the warm sun, is it your mind that enjoys it? When you are eating an apple, is it your mind that enjoys it? When “you” are saying bad things about “yourself”, who’s “you” and who is “yourself”?ĭoes that mean that we are all schizophrenic? Are we all insane? If you are talking to yourself in your head, one of “you” asks a question and the “other you” answers, right? Does that mean that there is 2 of “you”? “You are not a problem that needs solving. The attacker, oppressor, judge, and executioner in our heads continue to preserve it continuously, and sometimes they demand control and take us by the notorious turbulence.īut here some questions arise. All of these mental and emotional scars are captured within our minds and have a huge impact on our lives. Why do we even have all this negativity?īad memories, destructive habits, toxic thoughts. We are the attacker, oppressor, judge, and executioner, and we assault ourselves with all we got.Īt that point every drop of energy we have is pored into self destruction, and the ruins leave their marks, and scars The sad thing is, that we are doing this to ourselves. One relatively reasonable not-so-great thought is leading to the other, and very quickly you find yourself under a complete attack inside your head, the battle has began. The attacker, oppressor, judge, and executioner When things are bad, it’s easy and sometimes inevitable to lose control and slide into the turbulence of thoughts. Physical conditions: Brain tumors, strokes, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, can cause a person’s emotional responses to change dramatically.Sometimes we all feel overwhelmed by our thoughts, especially the negative ones.He has identified six distinct “emotional styles” that are based upon the structure of our brains but can be re-shaped with practice.) (While a person’s genetic makeup cannot be altered, the brain is another story, according to neuroscientist Richard Davidson. Genetics (or, more specifically, brain and personality structure, including self-control) can affect the emotional expression of an individual or family.There are some cultures in which it is deemed "bad manners" to express emotions in a way that may be considered healthy and appropriate in other cultures. Cultural traditions and beliefs can affect the way a group or an individual expresses emotions.Researchers such as Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, authors of Connected, have also found that emotions are “contagious.” We have a tendency to mimic each other’s outward states (for example, by smiling when someone smiles at us), and our outward states can affect our internal ones (smiling can actually make you feel happy!).Įmotions can also be influenced by other factors:
