relationships


Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race.
This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular.
Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now.
As you may continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship,
you will be disillusioned again and again.
But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious
instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation,
and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness
that wants to be born into this world. For those who hold to the old patterns,
there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness.
-Eckart Tolle

Michele: Tolle is one of my favorites. Would love to go to one of his seminars. Thanks for posting these thoughts.

Hi Don,
You might be interested in checking out Oprah.com. She and Eckhart Tolle have been conducting free live online web classes every Monday night on his new book 'A New Earth' which also incorporates 'The Power of Now'. They just finished the 8th class tonight and there are two more to go. However, you can go to her website and watch or download for free all the previous classes. I don't know what he covers in his seminars, but I have a feeling this is very similar!
Namaste,
Kristie
