What a great time to "listen" in on Tolle's thoughts on Peace....
if you want to read the context in which this is presented, I found this gem on page 188.
"If peace is really what you want, then you would choose peace. If peace mattered to you more than anything else and if you truly knew yourself to be spirit rather than a little me, you would remain nonreactive and absolutely alert when confronted with challenging people or situations. You would immediately accept the situation and thus become one with it rather than separate yourself from it. Then out of your alertness would come a response. Who you are (consciousness), not who you think you are (a small me) , would be responding. It would be powerful and effective and would make no person or situation into an enemy."
On page 190, this is really cool..."Who you think you are is also intimately connected with how you see yourself treated by others. Many people complain that others do not treat them well enough. (They say) "I don't get any respect, attention, recognition, acknowledgment. I'm being taken for granted." When people are kind, they suspect hidden motives. "Others want to manipulate me, take advantage of me. Nobody loves me".
Does this sound like you? If it does, I can tell you that for $14.00 you can find some answers by reading A New Earth. Good luck!
May your day be filled with Peace.
