Transform Your Life Accepting The Present – By Eckhart Tolle- |
She accepts and then acts. Accepts anything containing the present moment as if you had chosen. always works for the moment, not against it. Make this your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your life. While you will not be able to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives in you. It is mixed with the pain of the past that was already there, staying in your body and your mind. This includes, of course, the pain you suffered as a child, caused by the unconsciousness of the world in which you were born.
This accumulated pain is a negative energy field that occupies your body and mind. If you consider yourself an invisible entity in its own right, you get close enough to the truth. It is the emotional pain-body. It has two possible states: You can lie dormant or active. The pain-body may be dormant 90 100 time, although in a very unhappy person can become active 100 100 time. Some people live almost entirely through their pain-body, while others experience it only in certain situations, such as intimate relationships or situations involving loss or abandonment of the past, physical or emotional pain, etc.
Anything can activate it, but it resonates especially with the pains of the past. When you are ready to awaken from its dormant state, a thought or an innocent remark made by someone close to you can be enough to activate it. Some pain-bodies are annoying but relatively harmless, like a child who will not stop whining. Others are vicious and destructive real demons monsters. Some are physically violent, and many are emotionally aggressive.
Some attack people nearby, the people around the person, while others may attack its host. In that case, your thoughts and feelings about your own life become deeply negative and self – destructive. Diseases and accidents often occur as well. Some pain-bodies drive their hosts to suicide.
When you thought you knew someone and suddenly you are faced with this detestable alien creature for the first time, you’ll probably take a good scare. But more important to observe it in yourself than in others. Looking for any sign of unhappiness in yourself, in whatever form, it may be the awakening of the body pain. Sometimes it takes the form of irritation, impatience, a somber mood, a desire to hurt, anger, rage, depression, the need to dramatize relations, etc. Catch the moment you wake up from its dormant state.
The pain-body, like any other existing entity, to survive, and can only do so if you get unconsciously identify with it. You can then emerge, appropriating you, ‘you become’ and live through you. You need to get your ‘food’ through you. It will feed on any experience that resonates with his characteristic energy, which produces pain so that it is anger, desire to destroy, hatred, grief, emotional drama, violence, and even disease.
When has appropriated you, the pain-body creates a situation in your life that reflects their own energy frequency for it to feed Pain can only feed on pain. Pain can not feed on joy, he is totally indigestible. As the body of pain takes over you, you want more pain. You become a victim or an aggressor. You want to cause pain, suffer, or both. Actually not much difference between the two. As you are not aware of what you do, thou shalt vehemently do not want to suffer.
But if you look closely you will see your way to behave the way you think and are designed to perpetuate the pain, both for yourself and for others. If you were really aware of it this pattern would dissolve, for to want more pain is crazy and nobody is consciously insane. The pain-body, which is the dark shadow cast by the ego, actually fears the light of your consciousness. He is afraid to discover.
Their survival depends on you to keep him unconsciously identifying yourself as well as your unconscious to face the pain that you live in fear. But if it affronts, if you do not bring the light of your consciousness into the pain, you’ll be forced to relive it again and again. The pain-body may seem like a dangerous monster that you dare not look, but I assure you it is a ghost unable insubstantial to prevail against the power of your presence.
Some spiritual teachings state that, ultimately, all pain is illusory. That’s true, but the question is: Is this true for you claim? The mere fact of believing it does not make it true. Do you want to continue experiencing pain the rest of your life and keep saying that it is an illusion? Can you free yourself and pain? What matters here is how to translate this truth, how to make it real in your own experience.
So the pain-body does not want to observe it directly and see it as it is. The moment you observe it in story feel its energy field within you and bring your attention to it, the identification is broken. He has appeared a higher dimension of consciousness. Eckhart Tolle flame presence . You are now the witness or observer of the pain-body. This means you can use you no longer pretending to be you, and can not feed through you. You have found your inner strength. You have accessed the power of now.
