The Power of NOW ~ 當下的力量



在自我療癒的過程中,非常關鍵的是“當下力量”是其中一本書陪伴我走出人生其中一次低潮期,兩年前有開始看中文版,可是就是無法把整本書看完,其中原因我無法和翻譯的中文內容合為一體的明白它。
當我翻開已買了一年的英文版時,發現非常簡單明白作者Eckhart Tolle 所寫的內容, 同時也依照每一個步驟去練習,卻意外收穫讓我放下內心對於某個人事物的執著,更讚的是我感到無比的平靜和寧靜。我深深的感受幸福是因為我擁有平靜的心和當下時刻。
這本書也是Winfrey Oprah生命中最重要的10本書之一,如果基督教有聖經,這本書也是我的其中一本聖經。

以下是我從書中引摘一些讓我省思和轉換的內容。。。

You are not your MIND

The moment you observe it, feel its energy within you, and take your attention into it, the identification is broken. A higher dimension of consciousness has come in. I call is presence. You are now the witness or the watcher of the pain-body. This means that is cannot use you anymore by pretending to be you, and it can no longer replenish itself through you. You have found your own innermost strength. You have accessed the power of NOW.

“Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.” Just as you cannot fight the darkness, you cannot fight the pain-body. Trying to do so would create inner conflict and thus further pain. Watching it is enough. Watching it implies accepting it as part of what is at the moment.

Stay present, stay conscious. Be the ever-alert guardian of your inner space. You need to be present enough to be able to watch the pain-body directly and feel its energy.

Focus attention on the feeling inside you. Do not think about it –do not let the feeling turn into thinking.

Observe the attachment to your pain. Be very alert. Observe the peculiar pleasure you derive from being unhappy. Observe the compulsion to talk or think about it. The resistance will cease if you make it conscious. You can than take your attention into the pain body, stay present as the witness, and so initiate its transmutation.

My mind cannot know you, only labels, judgments, facts, and opinions about you.

The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.

None other than the power of your presence, your consciousness liberated from thoughts forms.
So deal with the past on the level of the present. The more attention you give to the past, the more you energize it, and the more likely you are to make a “self”out of it. Do not misunderstand: Attention is essential, but not to the past as past. Give attention to the present;give attention to your behaviour, to your reactions, moods, thoughts, emotions, fears and desires as they occur in the present. There is the past in you. If you can be present enough to watch all those things, not critically and analytically but nonjudgmentally, then you are dealing the past and dissolving it through the power of your presence. You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

Whenever an answer, a solution, or a creative idea is needed, stop thinking for a moment by focusing attention on your inner energy field. Become aware of the stillness.

You recognize fully that you want to get out of it. You then narrow your attention down to the present moment without mentally labeling it in any way.

If you cannot except what is outside, than accept what is inside. If you cannot accept external condition,accept the internal condition.

Full attention is full acceptance, is surrender.

Presence removes time. Without time, no suffering, no negativity, can survive.
