Okay, so I’m currently reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and it’s... well, it’s changing. It’s changing my life. It’s exactly what I need to be reading right now because I didn’t realize before this book how much I am unnecessarily thinking. Okay, and like what my thinking does to me, a.k.a. causing suffering.And I’m reading this passage right now and I just want to read it out loud. I wanna read it out loud. That’s what I want to do. Like it’s so crazy to me that I’m like... wait, is this what I... yes. Okay. I’m just gonna rip it.So I’m on page 182. And the little section within this chapter is called Impermanence and the Cycles of Life. And it goes.However, as long as you are in the physical dimension and linked to the collective human psyche, physical pain, although rare, is still possible. This is not to be confused with suffering. The mental emotional pain. All suffering is ego created and due to resistance.I underlined that for a reason. Because I’ve realized so much throughout these last couple of weeks, well, the last couple of years, let’s get real. But especially the last couple of weeks reading this book, that all of my suffering is created by thoughts that stem from psychological time. Psychological time being thinking about the past or thinking about the future. And then me resisting the present moment because I’m thinking about the past or the future. Okay?Anyways, I will continue to read on here.As long as you are in this dimension, you are still subject to its cyclical nature and the law of impermanence of all things, but you no longer perceive this as bad, it just is. Through allowing the isness of all things, a deeper dimension underneath the play of opposites reveals itself to you, as an abiding presence, an unchanging deep stillness, an uncaused joy beyond good and bad. This is the joy of being, the peace of God.A caveat, when he says the word being, he’s talking about God. When I say God, I mean the universe, nature, whoever Siddhartha Gautama found when he was enlightened under the tree, whoever Jesus was talking about. Like I’m talking about that thing. However anyone else sees it, I have no idea. But anyways, I just kind of wanted to put that out there as well.And I just love that he said allowing the isness of all things. Just allowing things to be what they are. Because human beings, we have this... it’s an illusion, through my understanding. Of cause and effect, good and bad, right and wrong, evil and good, whatever. And he’s saying that underneath that, underneath our mind perceiving things as good and bad, cause and effect, right and wrong, whatever, is the isness of all things, which completely prevails. They prevail against this whole notion of something being good or bad. It just is. And he’s saying that is the joy and the peace of God. Okay?Anyways. On the level of form, also when he’s saying form, he’s just talking about reality. He’s talking about being alive, being a human being. Like physical reality.So on the level of form, there is birth and death, creation and destruction, growth and dissolution of seemingly separate forms. This is reflected everywhere, in the lifecycle of a star or a planet, a physical body, a tree, a flower, in the rise and fall of nations, political systems, civilizations, and in the inevitable cycles of gain and loss in the life of an individual. There are cycles of success, when things come to you and thrive, and cycles of failure, when they wither or disintegrate, and you have to let them go in order to make room for new things to arise, or for transformation to happen. If you cling and resist at that point, it means you are refusing to go with the flow of life and you will suffer.I’m going to read that again. If you cling and resist at that point, a.k.a. when you cling and resist to transformation, when you resist these cycles of life, then you will suffer. Period.And it’s so true because it’s so much resistance moving on.It is not true that the upcycle is good and the downcycle is bad, except in the mind’s judgment. So true. Growth is usually considered positive, but nothing can grow forever. If growth of whatever kind were to go on and on, it would eventually become monstrous and destructive. Dissolution is needed for new growth to happen. One cannot exist without the other. The down cycle is absolutely essential for spiritual realization. You must have failed deeply on some level, or experienced some deep loss or pain, to be drawn to the spiritual dimension.I can concur.Or perhaps your very success became empty and meaningless and so turned out to be failure. Failure lies concealed in every success, and success in every failure. In this world, which is to say the level of form, everybody fails sooner or later. Of course. And every achievement eventually comes to naught. All forms are impermanent. You can still be active and enjoy manifesting and creating new forms and ...
