Eckhart Tolle on Unhappiness

“A person in the grip of ego, however, does not recognize suffering as suffering, but will look upon it as the only appropriate response in any given situation.

The ego in its blindness is incapable of seeing the suffering it inflicts on itself and on others.  Unhappiness is an ego-created mental-emotional disease that has reached epidemic proportions. It is the inner equivalent of the environmental pollution of our planet.

Negative states such as anger, anxiety, hatred, resentment, discontent, envy, jealousy, and so on, are further misperceived not as self-created but as caused by someone else or some external factor. ‘I am holding you responsible for my pain.’ This is what by implication the ego is saying.

The ego cannot distinguish between a situation and its interpretation of and reaction to that situation.  You might say, ‘What a dreadful day,’ without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful.  They are as they are.  What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.

In Shakespeare’s words, ‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.’ ”

Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 110.

Control Your Vibration

“You don’t have to worry about what their vibration is if your vibration is one of connection. Because if your vibration is one of connection — you’re going to dominate the vibration.

This is the way you learn your relationships. The thing that most people do not understand, is that you get to control the way you feel, because you get to choose the thoughts you think.

Most people think that they only have the option of responding to the circumstances that surround them. And that’s what makes them attempt the impossible, which is to control the circumstances around them, which only feeds their feeling of frustration and vulnerability because it doesn’t take very much life experience to discover you can’t control all of those circumstances.

But you can control your vibration.

And when you control your vibration, you’ve controlled everything that has anything to do with you.

(Also, the amount of time it takes you to get from where you are to where you want to be, is only the amount of time it takes you to change the vibration within you. Instant manifestation could be yours if you could instantly change the vibration.)

If there is something that you desire and it is not coming to you, it always means the same thing. You are not a vibrational match to your own desire.

Abraham Hicks, 3/28/02, 8/23/03, 1/12/97

For What It’s Worth

“For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be.  There’s no time limit.  Start whenever you want.  You can change or stay the same.  There are no rules to this thing.  We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it.  I hope you see things that startle you.  I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before.  I hope you meet people that have a different point of view.  I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.”

You Chose The Difficulty

“When pre-incarnative choice has given to you a difficulty; have faith that you are a spirit advanced enough to participate in your own destiny, that occurrences do not happen simply by chance, that the seeming poverty, the seeming limitation, the seeming difficulty, the seeming illness, is also a forthright aid in setting up a circumstance in which a lesson of love can be learned under adverse conditions.

Yours is the last density with truly adverse conditions for the positive, or service-to-others oriented person.  Only in this density, the density of choice does this occur.

Know then, that what is in front of you is not more than you can work with, is not that which defeats; you would not program that for yourself.  But you are stretching yourself, because you wish to change, you wish to become even more polarized in love and service to the Creator and others than you are now.” (Q’uo is channeled by Carla Rueckert.)

I Am

I am the wind and the rain.

I am the sun and all that shines.

I am that which holds the heavens and all that does not shine.

I am the all of all-ness and the no-thing of nothingness.

I am you – the very source of your being.

That which breathes you as you breathe me.

I am that which creates through my breath and the sounding forth of my words.

I am that which uses care in making myself known to you, for unto man comes a mighty resistance to claiming me as I Am That I Am.

For in so doing, one claims the self as I Am That I Am.

I reside in your heart and in your mind.

I reside in the all of you, your fingers and toes, your organs, your emotions, your thoughts and indeed in your actions.

For good or for naught matters not for I do not judge myself.

I am love, so great and so vast, that I reside in a state of namelessness and formlessness for no-thing can I create can contain me, for I Am That I Am.

To limit myself by these very words diminishes my being by encapsulating my breath, my words into the world of form.

Each word I speak, in this moment, is creating for I am that which manifests myself without definition or containment.

As the rock creates a ripple in the pond, I create ripples with my breath. Upon each exhale, I send myself forth to materialize in the world of man through action, through inspiration, through the very beingness of the hearts of my heart.

If you, who is me, visualize me, I am not containable in a single form, or any form for I am un-ending – the alpha and omega. I have no face or body. I have no religious right or left. I have no direction. I possess no correctness and know not the concept of wrong, of judging, of being evil or of being good.

If you welcome me into your thinking, feeling, acting body, you may find that as I am unleashed in the power of one, who is you, creation is everflowing, unstoppable.

I surround you now in fields and flowers, stars and comets, rain and thunder. I surround you now in the suit of skin that cloaks your bodyworks, your organs, and cells, and arteries.

I am all that and more.

Yet, oftentimes, you see me not in the workings, the appearance of all things for you understand not the mind of god, which is no mind at all, for I Am Love.

A love so vast it responds immediately to the smallest cry, the tiniest of whimpers of desire. If one wishes to experience the thrill of terror, one will surely find terror on the doorstep. If one holds the smallest particle of doubt, doubt will surely appear. For I hold no limit in my expression.

I Am That I Am.

You have seen me in your lover’s eyes and the tiny fist of a newborn child.

You have seen me in the warships and in the bloom of a flowering plant.

You have witnessed my phenomenal appearance with every breath you take, in the all of which you are surrounded.

You live, move, and have your being in me as I, in you.

We are not separate.

I am you.

I am divine perfection.

I am known to you.

I live in you.

I express in you.

I am creator and creation in one.

I am unity
