Knock your socks off

 I mentioned to Datre, or John, that I would like to read something that would knock my socks off - I hadn't read all of the transcripts at that time.
I didn't realize, reading about it isn't going to do it, you have to be able to apply it in your life.

What Datre states about the NOW, the present moment, is very similar to what Eckhart Tolle is pointing out, although perhaps with a slightly different angle.


An excerpt from

..."Now, what happens when you get to the point that you don't remember backwards and just go forward? It becomes an entirely different world because you do not search out backward to find a similar situation. When you don't do that, every situation you put in front of yourself with the pictures that you're painting become New.

Then your actions become entirely different. You're not relating to anything backward, you have nothing to relate to. So you take every experience as being brand new.

You can't imagine living that way because there are so few that do that. But, in living that way, you actually gain the freedom you so desire. Then do you know what happens? There are individuals that begin to do that and they pull back because they are afraid.

You have no idea of the feeling that comes when you begin to experience from a NOW standpoint. It is a feeling of aloneness, of being alone. And that is what the physical construct will reject. Unless you have properly taught it and said, I will take you by the hand and we will go together. And you have convinced the body that you will always be there so that it need not be afraid.

You do not understand the depth of the words that I am giving you. But I have told you time and time again, that I will give you information that you are unfamiliar with, for you to experience.

Someone said, When are you going to give us something to knock our socks off? If you want to knock your socks off, then begin to live in what you presently call the NOW.

When you have an experience – stop. Don't reach into the past. Stop and act on that experience as of the moment. Don't “ponder it or think about it or anything else”. Take a look at the situation – make a decision – and do it.

That is the beginning of knocking your socks off. Because, when you live in that which you call the NOW, your whole life is so entirely different you will not recognize it - guaranteed. Continue."...
