Optimal Vitality Spiritualized Air

[Guest guest]

" To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical

mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the beginning of the

first chapter we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where one

breathes a lighter air, the air of the spiritual. Although the journey is

challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer

format to guide us. The words themselves are the signposts. "

 

An ego orgasm is whatever I do or happens in life that I think gives me a

psychological boost but that turns out to be false. Mistaken. Often times

destructive. And once it's over, unless I see the mistaken thinking behind it,

the hunger for another one quickly returns.

Here's Eckhart Tolle's definition of ego in his book, The Power of Now:

" As you grow up, you form a mental image of who you are, based on your

personal and cultural conditioning. We may call this phanton self the ego. It

consists of mind activity and can only be kept going through continuous

thinking. The term ego means different things to different people, but when I

use it here it means a false self, created by unconscious identification with

the mind.

 

 

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are

considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact

that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with

keeping the past alive, because without it -- who are you? It constantly

projects itself into the future to ensure its continued survival and to seek

some kind of release or fulfillment there. It says: " One day, when this, that or

the other happens, I am going to be okay, happy, at peace. " - Eckhart Tolle
