The Present
I noticed that the movie E.T The Extraterrestrial was playing on the TV tonight. I loved that movie so much. It came out the year Lou Ann and I got married. It might have helped us to turn on our heart lights even brighter. I thought on another E.T. as well, Eckhart Tolle, and he seems extraterrestrial as well. One of his best books is The Power of Now. It’s no wonder that it has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens us to our role as a creator of pain and shows us how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death”.
So, it is time to phone home. Meaning, make a connection with that place inside of ourselves that is eternal and only knows how to love. We could do it through contemplation and meditation or taking a walk in nature or looking in the mirror and smiling at the beautiful soul smiling back. After all, we are all extraterrestrials. We came here from spirit to shine so bright, that everyone who sees that light will remember their way home too! From my extraterrestrial heart to yours, Thomas
