I'm compelled to tell everyone that I have just
read the most important book of my life which entitled
The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle. This book has the ability to
transform the way we perceive about our relationship with all life forms,
our interpretation about past, future and the presence, our emotion of
pain and happiness and etc .
The content of this book revolves around the
spiritual enlightenment and teaching of Buddhism, Christianity and
Eckhart's personal endeavor with spirituality. You might think this is
just another crazy religious book written by a another spiritual nutcase
to preach about new form of religion or new age spiritual movement
derived from others. But what I'm going to tell is that, the book does not
teach about religion of any sort. This book shows us a very practical way
to end all human suffering and conflict by using the power of now. So
what's exactly is "the power of now"? I 'm not going to be spoiler
here, just open your mind up and the read the book . You would be
surprised how it changes the way you think.
In term of my own experience right after
reading the book, I felt a strong surge of inner peace, the cherish
of my presence (current situation) without the possession of my "time
bound mode of mind', and the purging of all my negative emotion about the
stuffs and people that I dislike in the past. I have never read a book
that made me felt that way . The power of now is the first and is simply
amazing in that it enhances my consciousness to higher level , my
connectedness with all human-being regardless of their race and ethnicity
and of course my inner peace. I'm not too sure how long this feeling
will last but if it vanishes, I would just read back the book again :D
Now if I have the power of delivery, I
would love to mail President Bush, China president Wu jin tao, Communists,
Nazists, Taiwan Chen Sui Bian, Osama bin laden, Japanese right wingers and
all others religious, racist and atheist nutcase a copy of The power of
now instantly. I have strong confidence that the reading of this book
would easily dissolve sword of their heart, thus bringing eternal peace to
human kind.
An excerpt from the book which I found meaningful :
"All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and
denial of the present."
