a new earth...

So I am currently listening to the audiobook A New Earth by Ekhart Tolle. I have made it to disk 5 of 8 and so far I am pretty impressed. Its like philosophy and psychology melded into one message on how to be aware of your thoughts, feelings and actions. I realise after reading over former entries and my story blog that I have to become more aware of myself. Obviously there is a pattern that has been set up. I just got through the first part about how each person has a pain body. This psychic parasite that feeds off of pain and upset and negativity in your life. I think that is accurate. I would call it your dark unconscious. Pain body sounds a little tacky. Apparently, from what I am understanding I have a very heavy pain body. I attract other people that have very heavy pain bodies. That is how I ended up here. Now until I become aware of this and learn a means to lessen it, I will always end up in situations like these. One thing I really do not want in my life is another relationship in which I think I love someone but its really just my pain body and theirs feeding off of each others. This has been a highly unconscious occurance until now, where I am starting to become very aware. I am hoping to finish the book, so I can take it all in. I am very ready for all the information the book has to offer, I would reccommend the audiobook more than the book to people because it forces you to concentrate on what the author is truely trying to say. I find that its harder to "get" when you are reading the book, which is what I started out doing a few months ago and couldn't get through it. Not because of the content of the book but because of my life distractions. I was traveling and was able to take almost the whole book in during my four hour drive. Listening to audiobooks is my brand new favorite thing to do while driving. Anyway, I will try to do an update blog to review the book when I complete it.
