To me i just knew in my heart that the dogma of all religions is just simply bullshit. No one person on this planet has been able to explain to me why Jesus, Mohamed, Buda etc are soooooo great. It's all mind control. But after I listened to Eckhart’s cd's the answer came to me and now i believe. Hell, the devil, sulphur, Koran, bible all stories that cant be verified and and have not brought peace upon the earth. So what does this mean, if god is perfect and loves us then his perfection would sweep through the earth and bring peace. but it hasn't has it. and lets not bring free will into this equation because that is the church’s escape or veto card. maybe we really are all gods children, we are in his image isn’t that what Jesus said. there fore our conscious minds must all be connected. so maybe we are all one. there is no us just I , we are all one. when you look at you neighbour you are looking at your self . We are all experiencing the world through different eyes but only one consciousness. And that would explain why Jesus said sin is not a good thing because we are apart of god and he his apart of us. But bigger than that we are god and he is us. What we do to our neighbour we do to god and we do to our selves. You know I heard a statement preached by my mother, my grandmother , the church and every Christian organization out there. You can tell is something is of god by the fruits it bears’. the fruits of the worlds religions has been very poor in my eyes. I just find that once you understand what Eckhart tolle is saying, the whole question of life is answered and peace begins to fill you. My Christian religion only brought confusion, hate, judgment , arrogance, and a feeling of utter control and confusion. Jesus’s message was truly lost 2000 years ago. The bible is just another book that doesn’t seen to work on 90% of society. You cant bring peace to the world and people back to god through fear. Tolle’s basic teaching awakens your essence. Once you see the truth you want to live a good life towards everyone, even other religions and races because you see yourself in them. What a horrible feeling to wake up on the other side of your death and god says your going to hell because you are not a Muslim. You would probably argue with god that you were taught that no one could go to heaven unless he or she did it through Jesus. You were so sure you were right. You see where this thinking is flawed. The truth is that you didn’t have a choice because your mind was born into Christianity through your parents. Thus the original sin. Definition of sin according to Tolle “ not being all you can be or were created to be.” I challenge any spiritual person on this planet to listen to Tolles audio cd’s then come back to this site and post you comments.

Im just in the process of finding out that i am an "know-it-all" personality. As painfull it was to see this, I can also see the reliefe in conforming myself with others and reaxing more. And this truly helped me figure out that part of my denial even better (because deep down im an very insecure person, but I didnt know I was that) wow! your great! thanks for sharing! wow… godsent!

Too the people who judged tolle's work harshly and condemned him to the fires of hell, Iask why is christianity so full of hatred so dogmatic fanatical and one-sided. What an insecure picture you portrey., in terms of the chrstian church. Sprituality is a personal thing, & those who are truly spiritual will ensure daily that their practices reflect kindness compassion and true sadness; not the sadness of the born-again christian pitying those who have supposedly lost their way. We all have our own journeys to fullfil down our own golden or silver paths of spirituality. Whether one be wiccan, pagan, a buddha practitioner, it does not matter. What matters is that somewhere down the line the New Earth (Or heaven) emerges so that true peace reigns where there will be no wars hatred, greed, intolerance, and where hunger and health issues no longer exist because everyone will be treated in an egalitarian way. The problem with Marxism as practised in Russia was that it became a political power struggle of the ruling class ie the communist party, gave so little to the proletarians even though the Party called everyone Comrades. As quoted in animal Farm: All animals are born equal however there are some more equal then others.

Someone wants to be kind and offers you a compliment. If you reject their compliment, you make the giver feel bad, which certainly is not your goal. So do them a favor, forget your opinion of what they said, but make the giver feel good, by smiling and saying a gracious "thank you". You will feel good and so will the compliment giver. win-win Here’s another great way to look at this.

]]> Comment on When I Hate My Hair - I Hate My Life! by zoey http://www.dearzanny.com/2008/10/17/when-i-hate-my-hair-i-hate-my-life/#comment-3132 zoey Sat, 13 Feb 2010 03:35:01 +0000 http://www.dearzanny.com/2008/10/17/when-i-hate-my-hair-i-hate-my-life/#comment-3132 LOL. I too suffer from this very same dilemma! Just this past summer I had a brief episode of depression and anxiety and in retrospect felt as though I needed a new hairdo. Well before my crisis struck I had actually been growing my hair out for the past 2 years and it was finally at a long, sexy length and of course as I was not in a clear state of mind.....I chopped it all off! When I looked in the mirror I was too depressed to even care that it happened to be a really ugly style on me. It was just a simple bob, but the bob do just totally does not mesh with my personal style so to speak....Well flash foward! It's now been about 9 months since the depression episode and my hair is in this awkward-growing-out-layered-always-in-a-pony-tail stage. And consequently (just like the rest of you) I am kinda bummed when I see my hair in the mirror...I'm pretty sure the reason we tend get so unhappy and or frustrated with ugly/short hair is because it takes so long to grow out! On average human hair grows about 6 inches a year....so if you just snipped your locks to chin status, you're probably looking at about 2 years before your hair reaches that NICE, lengthy length. So if EVER you have a life crisis or any major life change, DO NOT cut your hair (if you've never done so before) in an attempt to have a new fresh outlook... instead buy some new make-up or join a gym! Whatever you do, just make sure you keep all scissors away from those lush locks! Now I'm not saying short hair is a bad thing, but for the majority of women, longer is better. There are those few and far in between who can totally pull off short do's and still sizzle with sex appeal and usually those women have attitude and nice, square jaw lines. Now for the rest of us who have fallen into a short hair rut by accident, keep hope....for there is light at the end of the tunnel...the light may be 2 years away, but it's still there! In the mean time (if you haven't already) join a gym, or surf youtube for short hair styling ideas. As hair is growing out it can look really cute with subtle waves or even completely sleeked out with a straight iron...even subtle highlights could give you a needed boost! LOL.
