Some of the statements that caught my attention:<br /><br />1."Ego is very cunning and resorts to all sorts of emotional balckmailing and drama if it's needs are not met". - This is when i think we end up being bad unintentionally.<br />2."Acceptance of the now brings peace" - Very true.<br />3."Only in the now we have life" - That pretty much sums everything.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Buddy :)Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937009549570214936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510862234045591085.post-26395019205777304562009-11-23T23:13:28.022-08:002009-11-23T23:13:28.022-08:00hi Anupam...thanks for sharing the gist about this...hi Anupam...thanks for sharing the gist about this book. It makes us realize the importance of being in "present". Otherwise there are so many thoughts running through our mind at any given point of time. <br />I am motivated to read this book and thanks for passing on the same to me.<br />cheers!Ridhshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954211345682917696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510862234045591085.post-36218958506326012852009-11-23T06:41:59.936-08:002009-11-23T06:41:59.936-08:00Thanks :) I 'm glad you found it helpfulThanks :) I 'm glad you found it helpfulAnupamhttp://book-marq.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510862234045591085.post-83676383785011840422009-11-23T06:23:24.090-08:002009-11-23T06:23:24.090-08:00Hi Anupam..

By feeling your emotions completely and listening to that voice in yor head without judgement you cut that repetitive cycle.Even, if you do that once successfully,for a second, you will get the glimpse of the peace and joy that comes with God realization.<br />I suggest you read the section "From Mind Energy to Spiritual Energy" in chapter 10(The meaning of surrender)in the book The Power of Now.<br /><br />Love and Peace,<br />Anupameggheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331836878744828192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510862234045591085.post-82796928072796669622009-11-22T18:59:04.105-08:002009-11-22T18:59:04.105-08:00I taught myself to feel the ‘presence’ as explaine...I taught myself to feel the ‘presence’ as explained in the book – I actually felt my feeling..or rather I felt me feeling those feelings. When the feelings were not so pleasant I could feel the physical upheavals they caused in me…painful at times. While witnessing my thoughts, I stopped myself from feeling those feelings; I stopped myself from thinking those things. Replacing those with more pleasant thoughts. It was easy. But I always contemplated on this question- should I continue to think about the unpleasantness completely and get over with it and should I just stop midway and avoid feeling the pain. I tried both. And concluded - feeling it completely helps in a long way. And it takes a very long time to teach yourself this. But its worth it. The joy & peace which follows cannot be explained. I may not be completely at peace right now….but I’m getting there. Thank you..for bringing ‘Power of Now’ to me.
