Hey, since I made a summary of the most important lessons I took from Tolle's books for myself I thought I'd post it here in case anybody has use for it. Peace

Time
Time and mind are inseparable. Remove time from the mind and it stops - unless you choose to use it.

Use clock time to deal with practical matters,but immediately return to present moment awareness when those practical matters have been dealt with to avoid psychological time. Use a timer.

If you think you need more time, the best thing to do is to become present.

Presence
Walk along the razor's edge of now - be so utterly, so completely present that no problem, no suffering, nothing that is not who you are in your essence, can survive in you.

When you welcome the present moment no matter in what disguise it comes, life becomes friendly toward you; people become helpful, circumstances cooperative. One decision changes your entire reality.But that decision you have to make again and again and again - until it becomes natural to live in such a way.

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

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way to become present.

Don't let a mad world tell you success is anything other than a successful present moment.

No need for the future
Never seek salvation or fulfillment in external things or in the future as a substitute for the joy of being.

Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being it cannot feel.

There is nothing you can ever do or attain that will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment.

You think that you can't get there from where and who you are at this moment because you are not yet complete or good enough, but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there.

Prosperity cannot come in the future. Gratitude for the present moment and the fullness of life now is true prosperity.

No need for the past
Die to the past every moment.You don' t need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present.

The belief in a label that someone attaches to a condition keeps it in place,empowers it, and makes a seemingly solid reality out of a temporary imbalance. It also gives it a continuity in time that it didn't have before.

No fear of the future
Unease, anxiety, stress and worry are caused by too much future, not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness and non-forgiveness are caused by too much past and not enough presence.

Let go of the insane burden of a thousand things you might have to do in the future. Either change the now or accept it. All else is insanity.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is just a mind projection, like the future.

What you perceive as the future is an intrinsic part of your state of consciousness right now. The quality of your consciousness in the now shapes the future.

Let go of psychological fear, things that might happen in the future.

All fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. The secret of life is to "die before you die" - and find that there is no death.

Inner Peace
Every emotional high contains within itself the seed of pain: its inseparable opposite which will manifest in time.

Pleasure is always derived from something without you, whereas joy arises from within.

Don't seek happiness.Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now.

Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well-being and inner peace,the source of true happiness.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, which is always neutral, but your thoughts about it.

Separate your thoughts from the situation and stay with the facts. Facing facts is always empowering.

Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive. Inner peace does not.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

Life situation vs Life
Just as dogs love to chew bones,the mind loves to sink its teeth into problems.

Problem means that you are dwelling on a situation mentally without there being any true intention or possibility of changing the given situation.

When a form in your life disappears and you can then accept that loss fully, there is great opportunity for spiritual deepening.

Find the life underneath your life situation. Allow everything to be, within and without.

Whenever you are upset about an event, a person or a situation, the real cause is a loss of the spiritual dimension.

Behind every condition or situation that appears "bad" lies concealed a deeper good. That deeper good reveals itself to you through inner acceptance of what is.

When you bring an inner yes to the form that the Now takes, that very form becomes a doorway into the formless.

Challenges can awake you or pull you into even deeper sleep.

If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within, secondary reality without.

Painbody
Watch out for thoughts that appear to justify or explain low-level unhappiness in whatever form, but in reality cause it.

Whenever you are in a negative state,something in you wants the negativity and believes it will get you what you want.

If you don't bring the light of your consciousness into the pain,you will be forced to relive it again and again.

Even if you can't accept the outer condition, you can still accept the inner condition.

The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace.

Sustained conscious attention severs the link between the painbody and your thought processes.

It is as if the pain becomes fuel for the flame of your consciousness,which then burns even more brightly.

The painbody can only live if you identify with it. Feel its energy, then it can't control your thinking.

Acceptance
There are cycles of success, when things come to you and thrive, and cycles of failure, when they wither or disintegrate and you have to let them go in order to make room for new things to arise.

If you go into your laziness or inactivity fully, you will soon come out of it.

If you allow every moment to be as it is, there will be no accumulation of resentment that needs to be forgiven at a later time.

When instead of reacting against a situation you merge with it, the solution arises out of the situation itself. Right action happens through you.

To surrender is the most important thing you can do to bring about positive change.

Accept - then act. Always work with the present moment,not against it. Make it your ally, not your enemy and accept the present moment as if you had chosen it.

Awakened Doing

Awakened doing is the alignment of your outer purpose - what you do - with your inner purpose - awakening and staying awake.

The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm.Make sure one of them is operating whenever you are doing anything at all.

Positive change on the outer level is much more likely to come into your life if you can enjoy what you are doing already.

When you make the present moment the focal point of your life, your ability to enjoy what you do increases dramatically.

It isn't the action that you perform that you really enjoy but the deep sense of aliveness that flows into it through you.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing you become stressed.

Unlike stress, enthusiasm has a high energy frequency and so resonates with the creative power of the universe.

Enthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or vision that you work towards.

Enthusiasm knows where it is going but at the same time it is deeply at one with the present moment. Enthusiasm wants nothing because it lacks nothing.

No matter how dynamic the enthusiasm- inspired activities are, you don't lose yourself in them. There always remains a still, intensely alive core of peace in the midst of all activity which is both the source of all and untouched by it all.

jag tyckte om de där koncepten, är det något som man borde följa? (för jag har hört lite olika saker om Power Of Now så jag vet inte...)

[Spider]

ta det som du gillar och tycker funkar. för vissa är det skit för andra är det guld. se vad du tycker. jag tycker det är viktigt att hålla en stabil balansgång med det här, har lätt att bli fett tyst av mig om jag fokuserar på sånt här i allmänhet, men när jag mediterar 20 min/dag mår jag fett bra och det är bra för game, men jag har lätt att fastna i huvudet om jag tar det mer seriöst än så.
har en polare som tar sånt här fett seriöst och brudar ÄLSKAR HONOM när han är som mest inne på den här skiten, dock öppnar han ingenting och får ändå inte ligga.

så se till att applicera det på rätt sätt
