So Grateful To One Of My Readers

I am so grateful to one of my blog readers who has directed my attention to Eckhart Tolle's book 'A New Earth' as well as a world wide online classroom with the author and Oprah Winfrey to study the book. Tolle says that "the book's purpose is to bring about a shift of consciousness, to awaken"(page 6). I am so ready for this book, its exactly what I've always been interested in.

I am half way through the book and identify with everything written. Bizarre, I know, but I can feel the shift already taking place. This morning I awoke with an awareness of the life force in my body, very strange the way it happened, it was like ... like tingling but not as intense', I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep for another little while, I awoke again even more curious this time because the feeling was there again, so totally consuming, from head to toe. I wondered whether my body was telling me to get up.

During the day it was interesting observing a number of times when my ego was being active. For example I had a class of year 8 students whom I had only seen for the second time and I made a point of learning all 19 names (one girl was absent) during the lesson. I had learnt the names of the other year 8 class in the first lesson. When our assistant came in to the room after today's lesson, feeling proud I told her about how I had learnt their names, then the ego took full swing and started telling her about the other day as well. Funny thing is that I sensed what was happening, that my ego was thriving on this but I still needed to finish what I was saying. With that awareness I no longer felt proud.

Anyway back to relationships, my partner is talking to me again and I dont think that the previous problem had much to do with me. I think ego and his pain-body (page 151 A New Earth) is responsible. He really needs to read this book by Tolle but I know that if it comes from me then he definately wont read it. Meanwhile I am still taking great pleasure in using my voice; one of the biggest delights which I have mentioned before is being able to order food over a huge display cabinet at the noisy supermarket and be heard and understood easily.
