Get ready for zen col overdrive. I’m reading eckart tolle’s new book. it’s illuminating. It is very helpful in understanding myself, my zany egoic devices. The main takeaway is that instead of getting hung up on what’s not … criticizing, getting mad at “the bad guys” or trying to change people who are unconsciously ruled by their pain, we should accept what is and move on. That which you resist persists. let go of hostilities, defenses, all the things that we use to make ourselves feel superior to others. We’re all one. He brought in a quote from Macbeth that I totally dig.
“Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” William Shakespeare (Macbeth — Act V, Scene V).
