How
to Experience Total Freedom
By
Eckhart Tolle
Author of The
Power Of Now
Are you stressed? Are you so busy getting to the future that
the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress
is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there,"
or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's
a split that tears you apart inside.
Does
the past take up a great deal of your attention? Do you frequently
talk and think about it, either positively or negatively?
The great things that you have achieved, your adventures or
experiences, or your victim story and the dreadful things
that were done to you, or maybe what you did to someone else?
Are
your thought processes creating guilt, pride, resentment,
anger, regret, or self-pity? Then you are not only reinforcing
a false sense of self but also helping to accelerate your
body's aging process by creating an accumulation of past in
your psyche. Verify this for yourself by observing those around
you who have a strong tendency to hold on to the past.
Die
To The Past Every Moment
You
don't need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant
to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness
of Being. Feel your presence.
Are
you worried? Do you have many "what if" thoughts?
You are identified with your mind, which is projecting itself
into an imaginary future situation and creating fear. There
is no way that you can cope with such a situation, because
it doesn't exist. It's a mental phantom.
You
can stop this health- and life-corroding insanity simply by
acknowledging the present moment.
Become
Aware Of Your Breathing
Feel
the air flowing in and out of your body. Feel your inner energy
field. All that you ever have to deal with, cope with, in
real life -- as opposed to imaginary mind projections -- is
this moment. Ask yourself what "problem" you have
right now, not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from nöw.
What is wrong with this moment?
You
can always cope with the Now, but you can never cope with
the future -- nor do you have to. The answer, the strength,
the right action, or the resource will be there when you need
it, not before, not after.
Are
you a habitual "waiter"? How much of your life do
you spend waiting? What I call "small-scale waiting"
is waiting in line at the post office, in a traffïc jam,
at the airport, or waiting for someone to arrive, to finish
work, and so on. "Large-scale waiting" is waiting
for the next vacation, for a better job, for the children
to grow up, for a truly meaningful relationship, for success,
to make monëy, to be important, to become enlightened.
It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting
to start living.
Waiting
is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the
future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've
got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of
waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your
here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected
future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality
of your life by making you lose the present.
For
example, many people are waiting for prosperity. It cannot
come in the future. When you honor, acknowledge, and fully
accept your present reality -- where you are, who you are,
what you are doing right nöw -- when you fully accept
what you have got, you are grateful for what you have got,
grateful for what is, grateful for Being. Gratitude for the
present moment and the fullness of life now is true prosperity.
It cannot come in the future. Then, in time, that prosperity
manifests for you in various ways.
If
you are dissatisfied with what you have got, or even frustrated
or angry about your present lack, that may motivate you to
become rich, but even if you do make millïons, you will
continue to experience the inner condition of lack, and deep
down you will continue to feel unfulfilled. You may have many
exciting experiences that monëy can buy, but they will
come and go and always leave you with an empty feeling and
the need for further physical or psychological gratification.
You won't abide in Being and so feel the fullness of life
nöw that alone is true prosperity.
Give
Up Waiting As A State Of Mind
When
you catch yourself slipping into waiting... snap out of it.
Come into the present moment. Just be, and enjoy being. If
you are present, there is never any need for you to wait for
anything.
So
next time somebody says, "Sorry to have kept you waiting,"
you can reply, "That's all right, I wasn't waiting. I
was just standing here enjoying myself -- in joy in my self."
These
are just a few of the habitual mind strategies for denying
the present moment that are part of ordinary unconsciousness.
They are easy to overlook because they are so much a part
of normal living: the background static of perpetual discontent.
But the more you practice monitoring your inner mental-emotional
state, the easier it will be to know when you have been trapped
in past or future, which is to say unconscious, and to awaken
out of the dream of time into the present. But beware: The
false, unhappy self, based on mind identification, lives on
time. It knows that the present moment is its own death and
so feels very threatened by it. It will do all it can to take
you out of it. It will try to keep you trapped in time.
In
a sense, the state of presence could be compared to waiting.
It is a qualitatively different kind of waiting, one that
requires your total alertness. Something could happen at any
moment, and if you are not absolutely awake, absolutely still,
you will miss it. In that state, all your attention is in
the Now. There is none left for daydreaming, thinking, remembering,
anticipating. There is no tension in it, no fear, just alert
presence. You are present with your whole Being, with every
cell of your body.
In
that state, the "you" that has a past and a future,
the personality if you like, is hardly there anymore. And
yet nothing of value is lost. You are still essentially yourself.
In fact, you are more fully yourself than you ever were before,
or rather it is only now that you are truly yourself.
The
past cannot survive in your presence. Whatever you need to
know about the unconscious past in you, the challenges of
the present will bring it out. If you delve into the past,
it will become a bottomless pit: There is always more. You
may think that you need more time to understand the past or
become free of it, in other words, that the future will eventually
free you of the past. This is a delusion. Only the present
can free you of the past. More time cannot free you of time.
Access
the power of Now. That is the key. The power of Now is none
other than the power of your presence, your consciousness
liberated from thought forms. So deal with the past on the
level of the present. The more attention you give to the past,
the more you energize it, and the more likely you are to make
a "self" out of it.
Don't
misunderstand: Attention is essential, but not to the past
as past. Give attention to the present; give attention to
your behavior, to your reactions, moods, thoughts, emotions,
fears, and desires as they occur in the present. There's the
past in you. If you can be present enough to watch all those
things, not critically or analytically but nonjudgmentally,
then you are dealing with the past and dissolving it through
the power of your presence.
You
cannot find yourself by going into the past. You find yourself
by coming into the present.

“The Power of Now”
How
to Create in the Eternal Now
By
Adrian Cooper
Excerpt from Our
Ultimate Reality
“Time”
is an illusion, a purely human construct of mankind, designed
for convenience in order to measure a perceived “past”,
“present” and “future”. The illusion of
“time” on Earth is maintained by means of a scientific
measurement of the relative positions of the Earth and the
Sun in the physical three dimensional Universe in order to
observe the seasons and the time the Earth takes for a complete
rotation relative to the Sun in the measurement of ongoing
“time”, in turn measured by various physical instruments
such as clocks, calendars and charts.
Beyond
the perceptions of most of those in the physical world, “time”
simply does not exist. There is only Now, the Eternal Now
where everything that has happened, is happening and ever
will happen relative to the Earth concept of time already
exists, always has existed and always will exist. Beyond Earth
therefore the concepts of “past, present and future”
simply do not and cannot exist.
The
entire Universe from The Source, The First Cause, God is Energy
vibrating at a frequency relative to The Source, The Source
being the very centre of the Universe of Energy and the physical
world being the outermost shell, the physical three dimensional
Universe as observed by means of the physical senses and by
science, existing at the lowest rate of vibration and the
highest density. It should also be mentioned that the physical
Universe of matter represents only a tiny fraction of the
Universe of Energy and vibration in its entirety.
All
Energy is influenced by the causation of thought before configuring
under the influence of that thought, manifesting as an observable
effect in the plane at which the thought originated. Everything
that happens, ever happened and ever will happen in the entire
Universe therefore, including the physical world, first originated
as a thought originating from the Mind of a Being, and which
thought in turn has its corresponding effect on the Energy
of the Causal Spheres of the Universe while becoming the corresponding
and potentially observable effect.
The
Ultimate act of Creation by The First Cause, The Source, God
of the entire Universe in all of its glorious spheres, planes
and dimensions originated in the very beginning as a thought
in the Mind of God. It can be truly said therefore that we
all exist as “expressions”, within the Mind of God,
made in the true Spiritual image of God.
Since
the beginning of the human concept of “time” mankind
has sought to live life based around that concept, thereby
always thinking in terms of past present and future rather
than Now. The Universe and the Energy we influence in the
creation of our own individual realities have no concept of
time, only Now, and as a result there is a no past or future
irrespective of how much mankind forces his own existence
around those erroneous notions. This tendency to force everything
to happen in compliance with a notional concept of “time”
has a very profound effect on the lives of those who do not
fully understand these realities.
When
a person thinks in the future tense, for example “ I
will”, “I want”, “I could” then the
Energy being influenced by those thoughts that can manifest
into individual reality will be influenced only in the Now,
with the perceived future never actually arriving. So if someone
thinks, says or behaves in a manner that implies “I want”,
then that person is placing themselves into a perpetual state
of “wanting” but never of actually receiving. The
vast majority of the human race today exists to some extent
in a state of such wanting, while never being in a state of
Mind, Energy and vibration to receive that which they “want”.
The
Universe, The Source, God is immutable, absolutely perfect
in every possible respect, and will accordingly always respond
to a thought in its absolute terms rather than a human concept.
“I want” literally creates a state of “wanting”
perpetually until if or at such time whatever is associated
with that thought is shifted to a state of “having”
in the Now, which will then allow the object of that thought
to manifest from a perpetual want into the actual Now, and
accordingly into the individual, observable reality of the
person originating that thought.
The
importance of the Eternal Now simply cannot be over-emphasised.
It is one of the most fundamental influences on the ability
to create our own realities Now, rather than perpetually being
frozen in a state of wanting but never receiving, a state
that many find themselves in today.

The
Fastest Way to Manifest Your Desires
By
Song Chengxiang
Creator of Quantum
Mind Power
Is
there a way to change your life condition, and manifest
your desires at the fastest possible speed? YES! Definitely!
There is a secret that can make you manifest your desires
in the fastest possible way you can imagine. I am now going
to share this secret with you. Once you master it, and apply
it to your own life, you will never experience any struggle
again. Your life will become magic. You can easily create
the success you want, you can fulfill any desires in your
life. Are you ready to know what this secrets is? Here it
is:
"The
fastest way to manifest any desire is to think, speak and
act as if it has already come true."
You
may have heard of this in many different ways, but you never
found a way to implement this into your own life. If so,
this is because you never thought about how powerful this
is, and you had doubts about it. Therefore you didn't see
the necessity for any action. Let me now help you to clear
the doubts, so that you can use it with 100% confidence,
and produce 100% results.
Before
I do, I am going to say a few words on the concept of truth.
"Truth is powerful." Truth is the universal law,
it's unchangeable, it has its own organizing power within
itself. As long as you know the truth, your level of awareness
will automatically increase, and will never fall back again.
Once you know the truth, you will totally shift your own
perception, and you will see the world very differently.
Your life will never be the same again.
Our
entire life is seeking for this truth. Some people are lucky,
they easily discover the truth, and therefore they can enjoy
a stress free live based on the truth. Some other people
spend their entire lives struggling but never find the truth.
Actually, truth is simple, you only need someone to tell
you and you will immediately recognize it and wonder why
you never thought about it before. I am now going to share
a few simple truths behind this principle...
1.
YOU already have what you want
You may have heard of that: "Before you ask, it is
already given to you." Have you ever thought of what
this really means? You may think that this is another religious
belief, but from a scientific point of view this is absolutely
true. What it really means is that everything you desire,
or anything you can possibly imagine, already exists in
the cosmic field of all possibilities as a form of energy.
The entire universe is a huge ocean of energy, this means
you and I and everything else on this planet, including
money, house, cars, or even the ideal soul mate you are
looking for, are energy. What you may not know is that this
energy acts to the command of the higher intelligence, which
governs our entire universal system. What you may also not
know is that you are part of this intelligence; you have
every quality of the higher intelligence. Therefore you
have the ability to command on the energy field. You can
create literally anything you can imagine out of this cosmic
energy field. Remember, "You are the creator of your
own life."
Since
what you want is already given to you, it makes absolute
sense to think, speak, and act as if all your desires have
already come true.
2.
Feeling is the language of the higher intelligence.
Since you are part of the higher intelligence, why don't
you see any evidence that you are creating the life you
desire? Why does life seem a never ending series of struggles?
Why is your life still full of worries and anxiety? If you
have any of these feelings, this is exactly the answer.
What you feel, you create and manifest. The universe will
never disappoint you. Whatever you ask, it will give to
you. The problem is the universe does not speak English,
or Chinese, or any other languages used by human beings.
However, there is a universal language built into our body
system even before we were born. This language is universal;
so the universe can communicate with any one of us.
This
language is our feelings and emotions. We are communicating
with the higher intelligence every single second since the
minute we were born. The universe provides us everything
we ask for according to our command. It is the ignorance
and misuse of this powerful language that gives us so much
struggle and unhappiness. Think about it, if feeling
is the language you speak to the universe, when you feel
struggling and unhappy, how will the universe respond? It
has no choice but to fulfill your command by giving you
more struggle and unhappiness. It always satisfies you.
Now
you understand no matter how miserable your current condition
is, stop feeling miserable and unhappy, because if you do,
you are telling the universe that you want more of misery
and unhappiness. Instead, "Think, speak and act as
if all your desires have already come true." This will
trigger the feeling that is consistent with your desires,
hence pass your command into the universe, and bring it
into reality with effortless ease. The universe will never
disappoint you, only you do. Be careful what you feel, because
you will attract more of it.
3.The
Universe will take care of the details
Now I am asking you to "think, speak and act as if
your desires have already come true." You may ask me
how you are going to make it so. You don't have to worry,
you will know exactly how at exactly the right time and
the right place. The universe will take care of all the
details. Your job is to tell the universe what you want
through the universal language of feelings and emotions.
Your emotion is a kind of energy with a certain frequency.
It will go into the cosmic energy field, find the exact
energy that matches the frequency of your emotions, and
bring forth to you in the form of a book, a mentor, an opportunity,
or a group of supporting people. It will find exactly what
you need, but it is the job of the universe, it is already
guaranteed by the universal law of attraction at the moment
you send out your emotion. The only thing you need to do
is to focus on you heart's desires, feel what you should
feel, see what you should see, hear what you should hear,
even smell what you should smell, as if your desires have
already come true. Let the universe orchestrate all the
details.
I
hope by now you have already cleared you doubts, as it is
absolutely necessary for you to "think, speak, and
act as if all your desires have already come true."
This is the fastest way to bring it into reality.
