Any Place But Here

June 23, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

images-1Tuesday with ET: “There are three ways in which the ego will treat the present moment: as a means to an end, as an obstacle, or as an enemy. E. Tolle from A New Earth
___________

Good morning: In all three way the common thread is that the Ego can’t rest in what is. Life is what is. Ego or our sense of separate self exists as a turning away from Now. Is God Now? Not in the ego’s belief. God along with the Ego is outside of Now, abstracted as an idea or thought believed in that is to become real somewhere in space in the next and better moment. To the SOS (separate sense of self) the present moment is Hell, with a few rare moments of Heaven just to keep the Ego hoping that it can attain Heaven as a permanent residence. Any place but here and now will do.

Awaken Insight Meditation

AIM is a website where I share my Dharma Insights in my everyday mind. My daily experiences are metaphors that point to the Truth that is One. Paths are many, but the Dharma is One. I invite you to walk with me on my journey. I also invite you to enter into creative dialogue with the post, for then we push it forward and get some traction in our life.
