Hi Mommabear!
I know you posted this awhile ago and I also read your other thread debating "the how is more important than the what". Good points :)

But, since I am new here I'll just pick up on this topic :)
I am reading "A New Earth" now and I find it facinating. To dive in to you previous dicussion(late :)) I belive that what may be ment by "the how is more important than the what" is based upon the prespective of being "present".

If you are working from the ego, then the how is no more impotant than the what, or the why or when or anything else. It would all be ego driven and only ego serving. Yes?

However, if you are/can do what ever it is you are doing and be "present", if what you are doing is truely NOT ego driven then the how is ALWAYS more important that the what as the "what", not being ego driven, would not be selfserving, not be cruel, not be hatefull, etc. What do you think?

If you like Tolle's "A New Earth" then I can recommend a website with a similar topic although from a more "Christian centric" perspective. A gentlemen by the name of Dick Rauscher of Stoneyhill (I am not sure that I am allowed to post the link on here?) has a great series of articles related to "the primitive ego". You migth find it interesting :)

If you can't find his site send me an email :)

Love and Light!
