The present Moment Is All You Ever Have.

The past is a memory. The future is imagination. Life only happens NOW

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The ego thrives on identification with thoughts, labels, and stories.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">True awakening begins when you start observing your thoughts instead of becoming them.</li></ul>Watch your thoughts like clouds passing - don't cling to them.

You are not your thoughts

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Emotional pain intensifies when we resist what is.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Acceptance of the present moment dissolves suffering at its root.</li></ul>Surrender to the present not as weakness, but as strength.

Pain is resistance to the Now

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Worry and regret exist only in the mind's concept of time.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You can plan, but don't live through the future or past.</li></ul>Be present with what is, even while moving toward goals.

Time is a mental construct

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">When you are fully present, mental noise fades.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Stillness isn't emptiness - itÄs deeply alive and healing.</li></ul>Make space each day to just BE. Presence is your true home.

Presence is the Doorway to peace

Only NOW is real. Clock time is practical, but psychological time creates stress

To make the journey into the Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of Eckhart Tolle's extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, “The eternal, ever present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us. A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.
