Re: evolution of my being.........

I love Echart Tolle did you do the Web classes with him and Oprah?

evolution of my being.........

I was speaking before about how this transformation is like walking through mud

and it reminded me of something from a book that brought me to tears when I read

it.

It's from the book " A New Earth " by Eckhart Tolle

He says, " It is believed that the life forms on this planet first evolved in the

sea. When there were no animals yet to be found on land, the sea was already

teeming with life. Then at some point, one of the sea creatures must have

started to venture onto dry land. It would perhaps crawl a few inches at first,

then, exhausted by the enormous gravitational pull of the planet, it would

return to the water, where gravity is almost non-existent and where it could

live with much greater ease. And then it tried again and again and again, and

much later would adapt to life on land, grow feet instead of fins, develop lungs

instead of gills. It seems unlikely that a species would venture into such an

alien environment and undergo an evolutionary transformation unless it was

compelled to do so by some crisis situation. "

Me again.....

I feel like I'm in the middle of this transformation. I've experienced what dry

land feels like but it seems I keep going back into my old 'environment' because

it's familiar. I cannot wait to develop my wings......and fly!!!

Deb,

That's a great passage from A New Earth and I believe definitely connected to

the transformational work we are all doing here. I feel like the individuals who

venture into IE/non-dieting approaches and who persist through the ups and downs

are true pioneers. Your wings are growing and eventually they will be strong

enough for flight!

Fantastic! Today when pulled to old behavior, I will think of primordial

sludge!!
