FirekeeperCoyoteBoneChewer,
LOL
Namaste...
Happy to be here... as usual.
:-)
Words like joy, lightness, and ease are of course feeble attempts to describe inner peace...as are any words. They are merely "pointers" as Tolle refers. One cannot speak of it, because as soon as you do, you lose it.
And Tolle is well aware of the sadness of the world. The awareness of his higher consciousness came at a time of his own suicidal thoughts.
He kept saying to himself. "I can't live with myself anymore." over and over and finally a thought occurred to him, "who is the "i" that can't live with myself anymore?"...
Wow... what an epiphany.
At that moment he became aware of both his higher consciousness and his ego.
:-))))))
Sunny but cool here in my neck of the woods. Walking will be chilly today, but a lively step should keep me warm.
:-)))))
Abundant blessings,
Mammabear
