Ekhart Tolle - suffering drives you deeper

Jun 11 aft
Was updating abridged book for New Earth from Ekhart Tolle and this statement truly described my connection with nature.

A new earth
Underneath the surface appearance, everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came. Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. It essence silently communicates itself to u and reflects ur own essence back to u.

Soul
I can now easily connect to Nature. I can drive by and feel their presence and they always energise me.

A new Earth
Attachment to things drop away by itself when u no longer seek to find yourself in them.
Sometimes u may not know u r attached to something until u lose it.
If u are aware that u r identified with a thing, the identification is no longer total.

Soul
I lost my attachment to food by itself.
I m slowly losing my attachment to validation from others
I m beginning to see my need for a partner. It all started as a fear of avoidance, then got it, then dread to lose it. Without having lose Z, I will never know how much I really need a partner. Amen

A new earth
If there is no suffering, human being would not evolve and would remain shallow, identified with the external form of things.
Suffering drives u deeper.
The paradox is that suffering is caused by identification with form and erodes identification with form.
The truth is that u need to say yes to suffering before u can transcend it.

Soul
Amen. Hence my blog's name suffering is blessing.
Just looked at pix of Z. Just loving him. I can now see my soft spot for him. He does not have all the attributes that I want but I still love him. Truly soft spot. No wonder they say love is blind. But knowing the soft spot no longer creates resentment in me for having it, for fearing that I lose out by loving someone that is not available. I can see my soft spot. Just a feeling of softness.
I have truly come a long way. Amen.

A new earth
Mastery of life is not a question of control, but finding a balance between human and being.

Soul
Now reading New Earth and it suddenly occur to me that parental mode people have heavy pain body. That's why they easily finds reasons for being upset, angry, hurt, sad or fearful.
Even M is also heavy pain body.

A new earth
Ur life is Now. Ur entire life unfolds in this constant now. Even past and future moments only exist when u remember or anticipate them and u do so by thinking about them in the only moment there is.
Instead of adding time to urself, remove time by not having tots of future or past.


Soul
Same msg as my this week Osho card's Clinging to the Past.
Yes tots of Z are the past. And it was my tots who brought them to the present. I m responsible for Z being in my present.

Father, you truly are great. I keep ignoring the msg of Clinging to the Past and now you bring me A New Earth to set me right.
Now I know what I need to read. Amen.
