Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.
Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.
In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.
Our self-identification is greatly affected by our EGO. Thinking myself right and the others wrong is a form of unconsciousness. The ego lives through COMPARISON. How you are seen by the others decides our feeling of worthiness of selves. The ego identifies with HAVING. We take “I have” as “I am”. There comes dissatisfaction when “I don’t have enough”.

Our self-identification is greatly affected by our EGO.
Thinking myself right and the others wrong is a form of unconsciousness.
The ego lives through COMPARISON.
How you are seen by the others decides our feeling of worthiness of selves.
The ego identifies with HAVING. We take “I have” as “I am”. There comes dissatisfaction when “I don’t have enough”. The ego creates WANTING. You identify yourself to be someone or wanting something. The feeling of incomplete/unworthy.
A woman only thinks and speaks “I’m fat” without seeing her body any more. It becomes the most important part of who you perceive yourself to be.
There is inner LIVELINESS that does not depend on any other people, anything else, or your body shape.
Ego survives on complaining/disagreeing alone. It adds to your SUPERIORITY. Who’s doing that? Your unconsciousness and your ego.
Over time you are incapable of GENUINE relationships because of your ego. Whenever you feel superior or inferior.
When you can’t get positive attention, you seek negative ATTENTION.
“How are you?” HAPPINESS is a role that people play.
Cleverness is SHORT-SIGHTED. Many politicians are so. It’s different from intelligence.
Those who are extremely good at their WOEK might have no ego at all. They might not know it but their work has become a spiritual factor for them.
The other people - their ego, demand for personal recognition and resentment prevent them from enjoying and focusing on the work. Their work is no more than a mean to an end. This “anti-energy” becomes their enemy, in other words they create their own enemy. You resentment toward’s others’ success curtails your own chance of success. The ego burns a consistent amount of energy and you have none left.
You identify with a FORM that you think you are / should be.
One of the ways that ego manages to exist unconsciously is to identify oneself within a GROUP that they are dedicated to. The personal ego becomes a collective ego. The truly free individuals no long look for any form to define who they are.
Thoughts about the PAST take you over completely and became your sense of self. Your personality, which is conditioned by your past, then becomes your present. Your memories are invested with your sense of self. And your story becomes who you perceive yourself to be. This little “me”, is an illusion that obscures your true identity as a timeless and formless presence. You hang on to your old emotions because they strengthen your “identity”. Such ego externalizes itself as ANXIETY, anger, violence, or physical illness.
They are not run by their EGO or FEAR, wanting or fearing. However, they have not yet integrated their INNER PURPOSE into their outer lives.
The NOTIONAL SUCCESS is not success, but an illusion and pursuit of egos.
There is a SENSE OF QUALITY in what you do.
Your friend may evolve with you in this inner transformation, or some friendships may dissolve. Your relationship may dissolve, or become more intimate.
You will still be motivated, just not because of ego or fear.
When you REMOVE your FORM and identify yourself with your consciousness / now, whether through awakening or personal tragedies, you become who you are, just like a few years ago. You are no longer lost in the outer circumstances.
Acceptance: or accept the presence
Enjoyment: enjoy what you are doing
When you focus on achieving the goal more than doing what you are doing, you become STRESSED.
The ego tends to equate having with Being: I have, therefore I am. And the more I have, the more I am. The ego lives through comparison. How you are seen by others turns into how you see yourself. 物质的拥有和物欲等同于自我价值是自我(ego)制造的错觉之一

If there is awareness in you, you will be able to recognize that voice in your head for what it is: an old thought, conditioned by the past. If there is awareness in you, you no longer need to believe in every thought you think. It's an old thought, no more. Awareness means Presence, and only Presence can dissolve the unconsicious past in you.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Seperate them from the situation, which is alwasy neutral, which always is as it is. There is the situation or the fact, and here are my thoughts about it. Instead of making up stories, stay with the facts.

The underlying emotion that governs all the activity of the ego is fear. The fear of being nobody, the fear of nonexistence, the fear of death. All its activities are ultimately designed to eliminate this fear, but the most the ego can ever do is to cover it up temporarily with an intimate relationship, a new possession, or winning at this or that. Illusion will never satisfy you. Only the trut...

The underlying emotion that governs all the activity of the ego is fear. The fear of being nobody, the fear of nonexistence, the fear of death. All its activities are ultimately designed to eliminate this fear, but the most the ego can ever do is to cover it up temporarily with an intimate relationship, a new possession, or winning at this or that. Illusion will never satisfy you. Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.
Why fear? Because the ego arises by identification with form, and deep down it knows that no forms are permanent, that they are all fleeting. So there is always a sense of insecurity around the ego even if on the outside it appears confident.

这么比喻吧,这本书就是在讲1+1=2,然后分章节告诉你,在水果摊,买了两个一块钱的东西,要给2块;恋爱中,一男一女走一起,就是两个人。。总之,就是把一个道理,放在不同环境说来说去,对我受用几乎为零。但,那些心灵受伤的读者应该会很喜欢。

这是我第三遍读托尔的《新世界》了。突然发现,当代这些用正念冥想来治疗情绪问题的心理学分析也超不过托尔的框架,而且往往他的更好用或者搭配起来使用会很有启发性。但是觉得其核心思想还是金刚经里所说的“若亦色相见如来,无以见如来”。现在各类灵性学说大抵都超不出金刚经、楞伽经和坛经的范围。但是这些经典太抽象,我们常常不知道如何把它们与自己的生活相连接,把它们带入自己的生活,而托尔的书很能引起现代人的共鸣,说... 这是我第三遍读托尔的《新世界》了。突然发现,当代这些用正念冥想来治疗情绪问题的心理学分析也超不过托尔的框架,而且往往他的更好用或者搭配起来使用会很有启发性。但是觉得其核心思想还是金刚经里所说的“若亦色相见如来,无以见如来”。现在各类灵性学说大抵都超不出金刚经、楞伽经和坛经的范围。但是这些经典太抽象,我们常常不知道如何把它们与自己的生活相连接,把它们带入自己的生活,而托尔的书很能引起现代人的共鸣,说出了现代人很多的痛苦和困惑以及如何直面它们,而不是让我们用一套灵修或者宗教意识形态来掩盖最初的问题。 (展开)
