never happy with myself?
I started reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle . This is the same author of The Power of Now, which I totally loved. It is a good read, when I feel like I am in the mood to learn. I am a rollercoaster of emotion at the moment, feeling like it's hard to reach out, into the nature of my true self. It's underneath all of these layers that I put on myself.
We all have ego. It's just a part of the package deal with living, a weight in this balance. When I concentrate on my hands, the energy that vibes brightly underneath, I feel just how unnecessary I whine and bitch about my unhappiness. Really, it is my ego that wants to eat up everything in site, never happy with anything. I mean, the motivation with ego can be good, if I push myself to achieve, then sit back and let myself enjoy the light of achievement, but not too much and not for too long. Strange balance, this life is.
The light is shining, my kits bask in the afternoon sun. So simple....so easy. It really is that easy, if I let it be.
I feel like the energy of George Harrison has entered my consciousness....
I'll leave you with this:
"All through the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Ev'ryone's weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through the day
I me mine
I me me mine, I me me mine,
I me me mine, I me me mine
All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day
I me mine
I me me mine, I me me mine,
I me me mine, I me me mine
All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day
I me mine"
-George Harrison

I'm glad you're reading the book. When I picked it up, it made me think of you. I also really recommend downloading the podcast of Oprah's online class with Eckhart. Oprah annoys the crap out of me (is that the ego complaining?!), but I find the class to be really helpful.

Jen....'New earth' is a fantastic book, so is 'Stillness speaks'. I read his books once-twice, but feel like digging deep and contemplating more on the truths that he presents so lucidly.
