Well, I am finally at a stage where I am ready to sell my car.  It is not a must, but if we want to make an attempt to get ahead we really should.  Worst part is, I LOVE MY CAR!  It is an Acura TL and what I prayed for for months on end.  So, now that I have it, and have for just over 2 years, I am going to give it up.  Like you really care? 

 

Well, whether or not you do, it is a bittersweet moment for me, but another step towards my awakening, which is why it is so worth it.  I have listened to Eckhart Tolle’s audio book, “A New Earth:  Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” and am a true believer.  I must admit I haven’t listened in a couple weeks and am in need of it again; there for awhile Eckhart’s voice started and ended my work day for weeks on end. 

 

Any ways, there is a section in this book that talks about being egoic and how to change that mind-set.  One way in which most of us have this egoic identity is with our cars, and I unfortunately am identified with mine, I was in denial for quite a bit of time, but am learning it is a truth.  I am working to change that and put that part of my ego to rest — forever, if possible. 

 

I will take as many little steps as necessary to quiet the ego in me and continue to move forward towards awakening my conscience, to be in the present.  It is not something you can “plan” or set a “goal” to achieve, but instead must always try to remain in the present moment and accept things for what they are, calm, alert, in the now.

 

I have to say, this book is so amazing to me and I feel truly enlightened.  I feel it is helping open so many doors and windows in my mind and soul and heart and I feel forever changed, if only a little.  I believe that Eckhart’s words came directly from our Father in Heaven.  And, I believe these words had to wait until all the right doors were opened and in alignment, for when Eckhart was ready to put them on paper and we His people ready to receive them.  Oprah helped with that, in a big way.  Actually, if it weren’t for her, I probably never would have learned about this book.  For that I say, “Thank you Oprah!”

 

So now, in an effort to quiet another part of the ego in me, I must part with something I am completely identified with so that I will be free of that untruth.  So that I will be able to whittle away that ego in me a little bit more and be what our Lord intended us to be – free, present, awake.

 

There are so many truths in this book, I cannot even begin to translate it, heck, Eckhart did that already.  It is something each of us needs to read and/or listen to.  It is not a replacement for the Bible nor meant to be any religious statement, it is merely one person’s gush of words helping us to better understand what was written in the Bible and what our Father was trying to tell us all along.  I believe it is a must read and will change the way you feel spiritually, bring you closer to God and help us to better understand His words.  Go get this book and find your life’s purpose.

 

Like you really care?  I should say so!
