The Power of Now taught me that there is no line segment.  The point is all there is.  The past and the future are illusions.  They only exist to the degree we focus our attention on them right now.  We create the past and the future by imagining them in the present.  But we don’t even exist outside the Now.

If not now, then maybe someday. But hold on - the future is an illusion. The only place is here, and the only time is now. Here and now: this is our reality. Our adventure won’t be one of clashing swords and brilliant magic. We journey towards a new culture of fulfillment: decidedly un-American, unconcerned with money, status, and power. And now, we have the chance to catch up to those lucky kids. [...] […] The future brings hope for adventure. If not now, then maybe someday. But hold on - the future is an illusion.

Steve’s entry, while good, is not exactly an accurate description of the book’s contents, but rather how the content of the book remained with Steve and manifested in his life. The book is still an interesting read, for the content, your personal reaction to it, and the entertainment value of Eckhart Tolle’s pompous writing style.

I’ve written myself the $30 million dollar check. I’ve done visualizations, affirmations. I’ve done everything I could to shift my life through shifting my beliefs. Read something pivotal yesterday on Steve Pavlina’s weblog about The Power of Now. I’ve had the Eckhart Tolle book for a couple of years. I started to read it, but I couldn’t finish it at the time. I knew that not being able to read it was important - the reason I couldn’t finish it? I was so angry at the time. And the things it was telling me, about being angry, were too hard to handle.

Just let your sub-conscious do the job. Some people call it gut-feeling. Others call it intuition. Whatever you call it, you know it when you use it. See if it changes the way you do things. Something on your top priority list may not be that urgent after all, your sub-conscious mind knows it, but you’ll need to let it tell you. Allow it to surface once in a while. Let it come out to play a little. You might be surprised with the answers it can bring you. You can even try it now, as this article suggest, as there’s no better time than now.

Wed, 31 May 2006 01:07:46 +0000 http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/05/the-power-of-now/#comment-12959 [...] I love reading Steve Pavlina’s blog because he always gives me something to think about. The amazing thing is, he usually ends up blogging about something I’ve been pondering for a while and that inspires me to dig deeper. Today he wrote about “The Power of Now.” While I don’t always agree with everything he says, I always agree with the spirit of it. I like how he says that focusing too much on the future can take away from our enjoyment of the present. I agree with this completely. I had to ask myself the question, “Am I happy now?” My answer is yes, mostly. I am living like he says and doing at least a little of what I would be doing in my ideal life. I’m writing. If I were suddenly rich, that wouldn’t change. I would still write. I do it because I love it. That tells me I’m on the right track.

It is a deeply inspiring book, and it led me on a years long spiritual quest. It is essentially the book that introduced me to spirituality. Well, technically, that credit goes to Caroline Myss’ The Anatomy of the Spirit, but her book didnt affect me nearly as deeply. The Power of Now’s message of no-mindedness and being present was exactly what I needed at the time, as my attention was almost continuously focused on the past. After years of practice I’m slowly getting better at being present, and I am beginning to feel bouts of joy rather randomly. This is truly the greatest benefit of being in the now… the ability to be joyous and peaceful no matter what happens around you.
