I used to have red hair which was very nice but I eventually got really fed up pf and I also lost quite a bit of weight. I then went blonde but unfortunately going blonde from red is precarious and takes a lot of work and effort and money to regularly maintain and I srent more time feeling sad about the brassiness than being enthused about the fresh blonde.

I finally decided to go back to my natural colour ( a light, auburn brown) but the dye ended up, you guessed it, red. Now even though I am still thin I can’t help but feel fat, just due to associating red hair with my previous weight. I feel so stupid and shallow about it, but it is really depressing me. Anyway, thank you for reminding me I am not alone in tying my self-image to my hair.

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!

thank u
