[A recent post on Eckhart Tolle’s website]

Oops, Here I Am, I’m Back
By Chris

After my cancer diagnosis, what came to me is that mindfulness is about being here now; being still; becoming aware of my Being; not allowing my mind to run me ragged with past and future thoughts, but remaining here in this present moment where everything is just fine and where peace and joy reside. My name is Chris, and this is my story.

Upon his winning of yet another gold medal at the Olympics recently, I heard Michael Phelps say, “This is the best day of my life.” It took my mind only a fraction of a second to decide that best day of my life was the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Looking back on that day it is hard to believe I am saying this now, but it’s true. Friday, December 7, 2007 (The day I now refer to as My Own Personal Pearl Harbor), I received the dreaded call from my doctor:

“Hi Chris, we got the results of your breast biopsy; it looks like that lump is cancer.

“F_____.”

darkOut of the Darkness
By Steve Taylor

There are so many ways to feel dissatisfied
so many different needs to meet
so many goals to keep striving for
so many problems to try to fix
so much of the past you wish you could change
so many fears from the future.

Bruce Lipton’s Biology of Belief is an incredible piece of work. I found it on Youtube a month ago.

Now, I’m not really versed in biology, or science in general, but I couldn’t pull myself away from his video.

He’s rather a fast talker, so he demands full attention. If you can sit through it all (it’s a little over an hour long), the light bulbs going off will seem like fireworks. He spends the first ten minutes setting everything up; follow all that, and you’re golden.

But there’s a part two to this subject, and that’s found in another video by Rob Williams (about one hour, thirteen minutes). He takes what Bruce sets up and ties it all together. Again, a great video.

Enjoy.

Christian Larson, Joy, Peacefulness

“When things do not come your way, never mind. Continue to count everything joy, and everything will change in such a manner as to give you joy. If you are seeking the best, all things will work together in such a way as to give you the best, and your heart’s desire shall be realized.”

– Christian D. Larson
