Yes, we can feel a strong connection with someone even though there may be very little verbal communication. It can feel like we are sharing something precious.KathleenBrugger wrote: she and I go to deep places even without having to speak.

Re: Humility or Humiliation?
I like this quote from ANE p.216
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe.

Re: Purposely creating changes in my internal world
I just don't know how to let go of thought without thinking of letting go of thought. Hi Clouded, rather than trying to let go of thought, its about focusing on presence practice, the more often you go into presence throughout the day (this can be as little as a couple of seconds each time), the mo...

Re: Romantic fantasies
Hi 51sth, having a powerful imagination can seem like a blessing and a curse. A curse because it has the ability to create terror in you, and a blessing because it can create beauty. In terms of romantic relationships it can kind of flip between the two and cause an addiction to that person. One of ...

Re: Ego's dormant state
Yes, Eckhart puts it succinctly when he says they are "made by pain-bodies for pain-bodies".Phil2 wrote: there is a culture of violence all around, especially in the Hollywood movies
Re: Judgment
I think i've misinterped what Eckhart ment by "be free from judgment" Hi deepocean, In this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdMEtpXoMkY Eckhart highlights the difference between facts and judgement, he says: We dont equate unconscious behaviour with who that person is, if we eqate it with who t...

Re: The real secret is to accept all things?
I think Eckhart said or wrote something like " we are being experiencing human form " ... maybe someone can confirm this quote ? Here's a similar quote: from http://spiritlibrary.com/eckhart-tolle/eckhart-on-personal-love "We are in the relative as form, and in the absolute as formless consciousnes...

Re: Awakening is really quite simple
As I awaken, I feel this pain as I destroy my past. My past is only what my brain carries in its thoughts. The impressionable models it has constructed. If I lose this, will I still even have an ability to have a sense of who I am, and what I've been through. My entire life has been pain - I'm remo...

Re: Pain body or depression
My difficulties with people are one area that I really need some advise about. I see a pattern there. In my experience people can be very unaware, manipulative, selfish, jealous an all the other ego based behaviours. I tend to meet people and the ones I click with I hang out with. Eventually though...

Re: What does it mean to be a man?
Hi fortune, I remember Eckhart saying once that the further along the spiritual path a person is the less difference there is between being male or female - other than surface appearance. So I think its more about being yourself, rather than living up to any image of what a man or woman should be. Y...

Re: Responding to spouse's harshness and painbody
Hi vandu, From a practical point of view maybe use a daily work rota for both of you, that you and your husband agree on. Anything he wants done beyond that you could agree that he will ask you nicely, and you could give him a realistic time you think you will get it done by - rather than agreeing t...
