Wrong. Why would I shut out the world around me? Thats just stupid.
It's good I have come across this post again because you seem to be charging me on everything I write.
What I am saying is, instead of deriving our reactions on emotional thoughts, we need to base our reactions on rationality and logic.
Emotions will exist within us for a long while yet, instead of trying to supress it, or live by it, we need to use it as a gauge.
If I feel happy, then express the happiness, yet do so knowingly.
Tolle was just another Joe Blow person just like you or I who was articulate and entrepreneurial enough to write a book about this realisation. Don't give this person too much credit, I have read his book.
Stick to what Buddha wrote a long time ago. Too bad buddha did not have a word for rationality and logic.
Enjoy the blissful nature of life ... but do so knowingly. Understand the humanly emotions ... but look beyond it.
I have written another post on the Ego I believe somewhere, look it up. |
