Do you mean that Power of Now techniques are only good to experience short term joy and that they don't really work for long term joy?
I'd be curious to know what you think of these techniques and their goal, which seems to be able to
stop the thinking mind in order to get to a "next stage" of counsciousness, or some kind of enlightenment. Eckhart Tolle is getting very popular these days, and I must admit I like his teachings very much. (even though I don't find it so easy to implement
)
To some extent, I find that SR is pointing towards the same direction as Power of Now. Am I missing something?
