Hi -

Can you identify the knot in your stomach? Is it fear? My ego throws

quite the fit when I'm about to unconfuse my thinking, let more love

shine through and diminish the ego's great size!!!!

Don't leave just yet....I identify with your excessive thinking. I'm

glad you are no longer on the drug.

I've been doing research on the brain to align spiritual development

with how the brain works. The latest brain research is fascinating.

Excessive thinking only can take place in the cognitive brain. As

long as you *live* in your cognitive brain - you can never find a

solution to your problem because the neural pathways that need to

solve the problem aren't there.

Eckardt Tolle is very clear in his directions. You need to pull

yourself - out of your head - and feel the present moment with your

whole body.

When you successfully do this - it is incredibly hard - just to the

left of impossible - to think obsessively, binge eat, over spend,

gamble, be an alcoholic, pull up walls and keep people out, have a

sexual addiction, rescue people, be a workaholic, and be a people

pleaser so you can get your love and appreciation needs met. In fact

you stop reaching for external solutions to an internal problem.

So this sounds magical....how do you do this.....where is the road map?

This is where for me I combine Loving What Is writing style (very

important) in a system called The Pathway. The Pathway is a two year

program that combines everything I've ever known about spirituality -

psychology - and brain research and combined it in one system.

It's cheap - for me who needs no support - $630 for the whole two

years. It's successful - 20 years research with longitudinal studies

and it is the best overall program I've ever seen and I've only been

looking for over 23 years. It is so very hard for someone to mention

a book I haven't read in my search.

The whole premise of the program in Eckhardt Tolle's work - it teaches

you how to live in the present moment by discarding your emotional

trash from the past and how to go from your cognitive brain to your

feeling brain....

If this sounds like it could interest you, go to Amazon.com and look

at the book - The Pathway by Laurel Mellin. You may also wish to look

Best of luck to you - Jan
