Eckhart Tolle - Power of Now

http://manwhore.org/forum/content/practicing-power-now-soundcloud

-Ultra Relaxed Vibe
-Mental/Emotional Control which is a godsend if you have perpetual negative thought loops like I used to
-Greater Degree of Empathy

All you have to do is listen to it and he conditions your mind to be present. Shits amazing man.

Been a tolle fan for the past 5 years, made me more present and much more aware of my thought loops

Well, most guys here are big into Tolle. For obvious reasons. What he teaches is the truth in it's purest form.

How it translates to game is actually not even relevant to be honest because this will change everything you do. The more disciplined I am with my daily meditation the more I'm able to stay present trough the day. This is what you want.

Pure presence will marginalize any techniques or tactics or whatever. Failing is impossible. If you don't have it - get it, period. I recommend the audio book.

Listening to the audio repeatedly is AMAZING. Life changing. Coupled with meditation and your golden. Especially listening to it on a hike or late night city walk. Canned jar of peacefulness.

If you want to start developing skills on a jedi level, Tolle is a must. Practicing the Power of Now 

In classic RSDnationite fashion I must mention nutrition as well. Tolle helped me unbelievably. But my nutrition was fucked up.. It seems some dudes cant get away with eating like shit but I have a fragile ass brain it seems. Unless I eat tonnes of veggies and cut out shitty foods my brain goes insane. Its retarded. Like problems literally spawn out of nowhere and disappear when I eat healthy again. On thursday I was an idiot and had fast food with a large pop. Especially since I never have that it hit me real hard. I was kinda fucked up mentally till the next afternoon.

So if your having troubles with this shit and your diet is off, check that out too. Eat a ton of spinach and sauteed kale while listening to tolle.

Can't say enough good things about it. I listen to the audio book when I go to bed. I've read articles about how your unconscious mind still absorbs information while you're sleeping. Don't know how true that is but I have noticed that I have very positive, self-affirming dreams now.

I like Tolle, but he's a bit too vague for me.

I read Conversation With God, it clicks a lot more with me. Same concepts though

Interesting... anyone else read Conversation with God?

PDF bro, give her a quick read and see how you like it :)

I'm still a newb when it comes to eckhart tolle and meditation but ive definitely already become more conscious but probably nowhere near what is possible.

And yeah icewahine nutrision is so important to me aswell. I eat lots and lots of veggies all day and feel much better than i would otherwise. Supplements are very good aswell.

So ive found 4 parts of ET on souncloud, each about 45 minutes long. Do you guys listen to one part every day? And meditation 20 minutes every day aswell?

I really really like Practicing the Power of Now. Still listening to it 8 yrs later. I think it's the most effective tool for learning to shape presence as it's part guided meditation, part philosophical discussion of life, and part just straight getting in your head and stripping you of bullshit. It gives you concrete ledges to hang your consciousness on so you don't have to fall back down into the well of unconsciousness automatically. But yeah.. FULL immersion is required. 

Read "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" by Dr Joe Dispenza.

It gives a biological breakdown of what happens in these modes of consciousness and unconsciousness. Tolle is the baseline. Dispenza explores it further- he also has some fantastic guided meditations that are all about rewiring your modalities and neural synapses to future events yet to come (your brain can't tell the difference between a memory and a visualization, and  as such fires the same pathways). 

If you've ever been on set and work with principle actors/actresses- they are in their own time and space. Same idea. 

Tolee was good, until one day some strange things happened to my smartass funny ass ass, i was feeling like i have been hearing the power of now , from when i was an infant,put my headphones on turned it up and listened to the shit all the way feeling 100 percent immersed , while i was hearing that i felt something like an evil emotion throughout my body while being present, i never experienced that kind of shit before in this 1 year i am listening to tolle and its something i wanted to ask like a month now, but i thought noone would relate to it, cause all im reading for tolle is good and for me yeah it was, until that came up....i cant describe the feeling in words though in order for everyone to understan what i am goin through, from when that happened everytime i listen to tolle i get that weird vide like evil man, i f you know what i mean...anyways wanted to ask if anyone had anything similar thing happen to him,while listening to tolee or meditating or anything i am confused and dont want to to go back on tolle.

Thats mind resistance, there is nothing scary or evil about presence. Your mind is trying to trick you into thinking that presence is emotionless.

It's just energy that you're being aware of now that you're being present. Keep going through it, just layers. I've taken hundreds of people through it, happens once in a while, if you keep at it it just passes through.

Thanks for your answers guys, appreciate that.

Yeah your mind is very scared of presence at first, will come up with all sorts of reactions/rationalizations to it to throw you off of it. Don't listen, disregard and keep going.

Excellent. 

Yeah i've felt similar stuff aswell. Not that bad but definitely become more aware of negativete thought patterns and emotions.

1 last thing do i need to do what he says inside that shit or just listen to that geezer only? Up until now only heard  him talk and paid attention to it.

Dude of course you need to do what he says. Loving the dumb questions! 

Not just the exercises but make the realizations he's trying to get you to have and shape your mind and behavior accordingly. Don't let beliefs and emotions and sensations run amok. Corral them in and become aware of the once unconscious processes going on internally behind the scenes.
