But I think it's awesome that you are meeting a challenging point in your own life by working on your awareness. This guarantees you'll experience growth and new discoveries.

I have read Eckhart Tolle's "Power of Now" and "The New Earth", and both books have inspired me greatly. I have come to realize that this concept of awareness and presence is something that has to be worked on diligently. It is almost as if we have to re-program ourselves into undoing years of being identified with our minds. Initially, I like the brief moments of stillness and peace when I am able to open a portal to the Unmanifested. However, it doesn't take long for the mind to rush in with distractions! I am still training myself to watch the mind and laugh at it, and I notice that that with practice, this is becoming easier and easier. For me, what helps to pull myself to the moment is regular meditation and swimming. I am in an exceptionally difficult situation, and I am using this period of my life to master this art of awareness and presence. My desire to do so is stronger than ever! Any insights into this post is welcome! Kojo This is a great post. I have read Eckhart Tolle’s “Power of Now” and “The New Earth”, and both books have inspired me greatly.
