    How to Develop a Laser-Sharp Mental Focus Mind & Emotions, personal-development | (8)
    Photo courtesy of ssh "Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives." ~Anthony Robbins I can remember when I was about the age of 14 out of frustration I wrote on a piece of paper: "Concentrate on the essentials!" (in german: "Konzentriere dich auf das Wesentliche!") It was about some trouble with friends in school. This sentence somehow gave me direction to know what is important and worthy to think about and what is not. To use the mind fully is ...

    Clock Time vs. Psychological Time Mind & Emotions, Spirituality | (7)

There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time." - Meister Eckhart Our daily life is full of time. We are surrounded by time from getting up in the morning until checking the alarm clock in the evening. At work there are appointments and pressing deadlines. The news come at every full hour. By splitting our mental attention in such a way ...

    What is The Present Moment? Spirituality | (8)
    Photo courtesy of Todd Baker << technowannabe "The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha I can remember when I first saw the book "The Power of Now".

This is the Now-habit and it is a powerful habit to develop. But this is not what ...

    Surrender: Bringing the Yes into the No - a Talk about Awakening with Eckhart Tolle Spirituality | (0)
    The meaning of surrender in a spiritual sense is quite different from the meaning that the word has in the news. There is no giving up, there is saying Yes to a situation, an acceptance. It is bringing the Yes into the No. There are only a view videos of Eckhart Tolle (Auhor of The Power of Now) freely available.

In this little series Eckhart is starting with a description of what Awakening is, talks about the difference between consciousness and the content of ...

    "A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar managed ...
