Look, please read my post and see if you guys can help me. I really can't understand all those meaningless



If you explain in simple plain, non-Echkart language I can understand. Don't ask me to run a marathon when I am still limping, okay?
I am new to this place, new to Eckhart, but just scanned through some posts but some replies looking more complicated than Eckhart's preaching itself.
Now coming to myself ( or my problem)
I have been having lotsa stress in my work place for the past several years, bad treatment from bosses, bad working hours, bad pay etc ( now please, please don't come with with all those mind boggling words like ego, *$%#, *($#@@ etc.
Over the period of time, I have started becoming more emotional, irritable ( hey, you guessed it right!

Though many of my grouses are valid/reasonable nowadays I am catching myself on reacting to situations more than necessary, having imaginary arguments etc. ( No I have not gone bonkers yet)
SLOWLY I HAVE REALIZED THAT MANY OF MY PROBLEMS ARE CREATIONS OF MY MIND. Hee hee hee...
Now comes the problem. I caught hold of the Power of Now. Hey was it not written for me?
The thing is, I have been trying to be aware and be present, watching the thinker etc., and for a few seconds, the racing thoughts stop, but again the mind picks up at full speed with all its internal dialogues etc. I am trying hard, but the thoughts are coming again, and again continuously. They are not thoughts, but many in the forms of imagined dialogues etc.
I have been sitting with Eckhart for two months now, but feeling really discouraged.

Whatto do? Should I visit my shrink? ( Hope you don't send me to the shrink with all those "abstract art" looking answers. You know, I don't understand abstract art, ie.
I want your help in ways to help me quieten my mind intially. I am full of mind now, and I am NOT ready for the mindless

And hey, DON'T EVER judge ME!!!!!!



Thanks! Can you please help me?
