I think you do a fabulous job Tues writing in another language.  You should be applauded for your effort!  And thanks......

Thank you Tues, what an open person you are, that is an inspiration in itself and I agree with Whte Fay as you know, about how amazing your english is, none of us here could reciprocate, so you are doing so well!

Dear Bon, nononono please never aspire to be anyone other than who you are...and as you know this life has taken mw to some real depths of pain, and although  the gift is realisation,,,one really doesn't need to go through anything to be who they already are! you really do not have to wait until next lifetime, it is a choice you have now, right here and now. and, the irony is of course that what i was trying to say (badly) in my post before last, and what Eckhart Tolle is saying much better, is that it is only us who remove oursleves from what is already here within, it is not far away, it is not some attainment, it is the willingness to be present in every moment.

I really totally recommend reading Tolle's THE POWER OF NOW to everybody...it is probably the book i would take to a desert island if only allowed one! And if you are looking for more inspiration ,it is the books of Eckhart Tolle that Jim Carrey credited his awakening to.....

 

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

'Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.'

feel free to post 'em arachnidsGrip!

The Einstein one certainly makes you pause for thought, meg....and is one of those bigger truths that it helps to be reminded of from time to time  

What you feel in the presence of a thing you admire is just one word -- 'Yes.' The affirmation,the acceptance, the sign of admittance. And that 'Yes' is more than an answer to one thing, it's a kind of 'Amen' to life, to the earth that holds thisthing, to the thought that created it, to yourself for beingable to see it. But the ability to say 'Yes' or 'No' is the essence of all ownership. It's your ownership of your own ego. Your soul, if you wish. Your soul has a single basic function--the act of valuing. 'Yes' or 'No,' 'I wish' or 'I do not wish.' You can'tsay 'Yes' without saying 'I." There's no affirmation without the one who affirms. In this sense, everything to whichyou grant your love is yours.
