Golden Wisdom from Eckhart Tolle


The following is an excerpt from Eckhart Tolle’s book titled “A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”.  This dialogue from the author had me in tears.  For years I have tried goal setting, reciting affirmations and placing effort on action.  I believed that the more pressure I placed on myself, all my manifestations would come true.  This becomes tiring to say the least.  After reading the passage below from this novel, everything made sense at once.  It all comes down to our consciousness, level of awareness and being still.  I hope this provides a bit of perspective to your day and conscious evolution.

We are learning that action, although necessary, is only a secondary factor in manifesting our external reality.  The primary factor in creation is consciousness.  No matter how active we are, how much effort we make, our state of consciousness creates our world, and if there is not change on the inner level, no amount of action will make any difference.  We would only re-create modified versions of the same world again and again, a world that is an external reflection of the ego. 

A New Earth 

In 2020, I wrote an article in regards to nature titled: The Divine Essence of Nature.  In this piece, I touched upon aspects of nature and the relevance to the energy of the planet.  The article reflected on the shifting patterns of Earth in 2019.  Mama Gaia was talking to us, through weather patterns.  It was her emotions surfacing with the elements of  air, fire and water.  By 2020, the Covid pandemic was in full force.  It altered the fabric of humanity as society is still processing life.  

Presently, in 2024 we are now in a drastic shift of climate change in every corner of the globe.  It seems that astrologically, the cosmos are impacting the state of your being.  Weather patterns have been occurring in the past few years.  Flooding, fires and torrential rain are more prevalent.  Could the weather patterns be a sign of something else?  The varying emotions of Mama Earth again?  She is a living energy force and perhaps communicating to our consciousness?  With meditation, answers become clear.  When you still your mind, your heart whispers.  What message is she trying to convey?  The message of oneness and love.

Do you ever ask yourself, why did Covid occur?  In my opinion, Covid happened for a spiritual reason.  I have to believe a global pandemic occurred to shift consciousness. The universe was a guiding force in this all.  Life went upside down. Society had to be placed on pause.  Humanity needed to surrender, and be in a state of the unknown.  Taking time in nature, allowed healing to transpire.  To be one with the universe and breathe.  

Sometimes the universe turns off all the lights so we have no choice but to find our own – Rebecca Campbell

My personal belief is that souls were awakening.  The collective consciousness was remembering who they really are, their core essence.  Many of us had to go within layers of our spirit to see that the pandemic was something greater.  Lightworkers, you know who you are, your divine purpose is to shine angelic light on earth.  Lightworkers realized they are here to serve as beacons of LOVE and healing.  

The real you is always here. You just have to recognize the light within and give yourself permission to radiate from your soul — not only for your own benefit but for the blessing of all others ― Catherine Carrigan

You began to question why you are here, especially now.  Covid was a spiritual retreat, almost like an incubation period to assess your life.  Who are you?  Are you happy?  What is your purpose?  Questions that one hardly gives time to consider.  This inner dialogue led to other aspects of your life journey.  Silence is when your clarity comes.  Be still and know, everything is exactly the way it should be.    

The dark days are over, let the universe take control.  The old structures are falling apart.  Be prepared to see changes in the way we live our lives.  This will be for the better.  The year of 2024, is a year of abundance in every single way.  You have been reborn and being asked to live, engage the life you have always yearned for.  

We now stand on a New Earth.  Allow love to be your guiding force in every decision you make.  You are chosen to be here in this new energy.  We have a long way to go, however we are in a revolutionary time in history.  Covid taught us to love and cherish our family.  To be of service to your neighbors and community.  To make peace with your present circumstances.  Release your ego and remember who you are. This is your time to shine, be seen and to soar. 

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle –  Eckhart Tolle

Magic of the Universe

Speak To The Universe Quotes. QuotesGram

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. –Swami Vivekanada

What is the Universe?  Defined by Wikipedia, “The universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy”.  The universe is precisely made up of components of the ethers!  I once read that stars and humans consist of similar chemical elements.  Think how magical you are,  you are like stardust!  In my own interpretation, the universe is a grand phenomenon.  It listens and responds to our intentions and overall frequency.  The universe is beyond our grasp, however resides within you.  Listening intently to your thoughts and heart desires.  An awareness that there is invisible force guiding your life and destiny.  

The Universe is cosmically woven: embodies Mother Nature, galaxies, consciousness and humanity.  It is endless, formless, it will always continue.  For example, think of the symbol of infinity, there are two circles that overlap one another.  Circles are infinite, never ceasing to stop.  A circle is symbolic as it represents divine nature, chakra spiritual energy and patterns.  The circle unifies and expands, it is associated with totality, wholeness and eternity.  When you master your life lessons, everything comes full circle  – you make a conscious choice to evolve.  

Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite. –Anais Nin.   

For example, the sun, moon and earth are all circular.  They are in harmony with the sacred universe, flowing like the cycles of nature.  There is always balance and unification within the universe.  A unified field of possibilities.  All things have potential in every aspect of your life.  Every decision you make connects you to your soul purpose.  There is no separation, everyone is connected.     

I have written about the concept of  “Universe” in a few articles.  Recently, I have felt compelled to research this topic further and understand how it was orchestrated.  The definition of the universe may vary from each individual.  How many times have you done this, looked up at the sky and asked how did creation begin?  How did everything evolve?  Evolution of mankind, it all started somewhere.  Do you ever stargaze in the evening, hoping to see a shooting star or are mesmerized by the beauty of the sky?  These are tiny miracles that shine upon us daily.  

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. –Stephen Hawking

The marvel of the Egyptian Pyramids, Stonehenge in the UK, and the Acropolis in Greece.  These are all Ancient Wonders of the world, with profound historical significance.  They were constructed or self-made centuries ago.  It is remarkable how these ancient wonders are still standing. There are several theories on this, however this is an entire different article.  

Did you know that the Universe resides in you?  Within you, are all the answers your soul seeks.  The Universe supports you and wants you to live your best life.  For example, think of the universe as Aladdin’s lamp.  The tale of Aladdin is about a young boy who discovers a magical lamp.  He was only permitted three wishes to be granted by his companion the “Genie”.  The universe is like the genie!  It wants you to live beyond your dreams.  Your emotions, thoughts, are all vibrations you transmit.  The universe picks up on your requests and sends the frequency out to the universe.  This can be defined and termed as the “Law of Attraction”.

The universe loves and cares for YOU in every way.  Serendipities, signs, happenstances are all manifestations of the universe.  Every aspect of your life is a blessing whether positive or negative.  When you face doubt or lack, know source energy is taking care of you.  All you have to do is ask.  Asking?  How many times do you forget to do that?  Once you make a conscious decision on what you desire the universe hears that request instantly.  Your only job is to be clear, trust the process of life and surrender.  The universe is going to arrange every aspect of your life.  As a musical symphony is composed of melodies and harmony, all the notes align together to make a masterpiece.  Your life is like a beautiful song from the universe –  sing it loud!  It is meant to be absolutely glorious.   Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence – Alan Watts

You have been given the gifts from the beginning of birth, can you remember?  The year 2020 has certainly been full of surprises.  Can you align yourself to the light of the universe and open yourself to miracles?  Perhaps, this is the time humanity is seeking transformation for the best.  Let this year be a turning point for you.  Healing, growing and shedding the past are central to 2020.  Listen to your inner voice, the universe is YOU!  Know you chose to be on earth, at this pivotal point in time.  The unpredictable and unknown will create the life you have been waiting for! 

An Inspiring Story About Breathe

Great Sayings of Wisdom | Spiritual quotes, Yoga quotes, Upanishads

There is an old Vedic story about prana that occurs in various Upanishads.  The five main faculties of our nature – the mind, breathe (prana), speech, ear and eye – were arguing with each other as to which was the best and most important.  This reflects the ordinary human condition in which our faculties are not integrated but fight with each other, competing for their rule of our attention.  To resolve this dispute they decided that each would leave the body and see whose absence was most missed.

First speech left the body, but the body continued though mute.  Next the eye left, but the body continued though blind.  Next the ear left, but the body continued though deaf.  Then the mind left, but the body continued though the unconscious.  Finally the prana began to leave and the body began to die and all the other faculties began to lose their energy.  So they all rushed to prana and told it to stay, lauding its supremacy.  Clearly prana won the argument.  Prana gives energy to all our faculties.  The moral of this story is that to control all our faculties the key is the control of prana/breathe.

The excerpt above is taken from “Yoga and Ayurveda” written by David Frawley pg. 120.  I opened this book recently, and landed on this specific page.  It was a gentle reminder to breathe.  The power of our breathe brings us back to the present moment.  Your breathe is home.  Remember calm is a “superpower “- stay well xo

Yoga Inspiration – Yogi Bhajan

Never try to impress others, try to impress yourself and find ...

Let the wind be behind you
Angels dance with you
And your consciousness
Guide you to victory.
Let the angels
The Great Souls, the Avatars,
And all incarnations of God
Pray for you.
Walk tall and bless all,
In your innocence with your love,
For each one’s peace
And prosperity.
Remember what time wants:
Serve the needs of the time and space.
You will be sacred, exalted,
Beautiful, bountiful and fulfilled.
