Q: What is the greatest obstacle to experiencing [this] reality?
Eckhart Tolle: Identification with your mind, which causes thought to become
compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we
don't realize this because almost everybody is suffering from it, so it is
considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding
that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being. It also
creates a false mind-made self that casts a shadow of fear and suffering.
We will look at all that in more detail later.
The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental
truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had,
in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with
Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker, which means almost
everyone, lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely complex
world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that reflects the
ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind. Enlightenment is a state of
wholeness, of being "at one" and therefore at peace. At one with life in its
manifested aspect, the world, as well as with your deepest self and life
unmanifested - at one with Being.
Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering and of continuous conflict
within and without, but also the end
of the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. What an incredible
liberation this is...

I love watching Jon Stewart too, although I haven't been watching as much
lately. The guy is so funny! Sometimes I about fall off my chair
laughing at the stuff he comes up with. If you go to mytube.com you can
see all sorts of funny clips from the daily show. There was one I found
the other day (Jon wasn't in it, but was another guy from the show) about
a pharmacist that refuses to dispense the morning after pill, and it was so
sarcastically hilarious, I could barely breath from laughing so hard. I
love how these people they interview have no clue that it's a fake
interview, and they take it all so seriously.

Last night, I was feeling quite enraged over Jeanette's comment's to Bill.
You could almost see steam coming from my ears....lol. After I unloaded
my feelings, I felt worse, not better. But, it wasn't guilt, but an uneasy
sense of choosing a state of mind that doesn't bring me peace. I've been
around the ng long enough to know that I don't enjoy getting entangled in
any sort of negative drama anymore. I really just want to express Course
ideas, and share my hope and inspiration with you all. I know, I'm
getting boring in my old age. hahaha. ;)
