It is to do very ordinary tasks with "presence" or awareness. Be completely aware while washing your hands or dishes; walking to work; slicing vegetables; eating; looking at birds.:Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052038577116203541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560209350939327865.post-11667495053804031362008-05-29T00:32:00.000+02:002008-05-29T00:32:00.000+02:00Also, if you continue to "believe" in something, n...Also, if you continue to "believe" in something, no matter what it is, you will continue to be trapped in ego. All that is needed is realization, awareness...then you are on your way. It is not that people will never change, of course they will change, just not in the way you "think" it will happen. If I have been awakening and you have been awakening, then why not others? Isn't that your ego saying that they don't have the same possibility. Obviously, each person's experience will be different. If you can read ET's book, you are changing.

Once "IT" happens you can "think" about it. But the "thinking" will NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING. YES, it is a surrendering. But not through THINKING! All stress gets generated in the mind; peace gets generated in the "no mind" or through the "heart mind." Or just through the heart.:Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052038577116203541noreply@blogger.com
