That said, Tolle may be a fruit loop in some areas but he talks about how the mind plays constant movies in your head as if the movies are reality when in fact they are not. The trick is to teach yourself to view it as just images, not real - just images. What is happening right now is real. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Now is real. In other words, live in the now, not grieving the past or fearing the future.
I hope you have found peace from torment in your life. It's been three years for us and it's a little better but the damage done is indescribable.
Yes we have found peace. It has been 32 years for us.
And I agree, our minds can play tricks on us sometimes, and instead of believing something as true it can actually be a lie we believe.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
