You are the now

Last night I spent time with some of my fave people, Blessed Seraph, the Goddess Bookkeeper, The Piscean Princess and Gandalf listening to Eckhart Tolle speak. What a lovely evening we had. Two hours of Eckhart ideas and understandings, many of which resonated deeply within me. What was most powerful was his complete lack of ego. It was refreshing and inspiring. I slept like a lamb, with the subconscious mind quieted for the first time in a while.

The mind is tool, not who you are, I reminded myself this morning. Use it for good not evil and be present to the moment. Stop trying to jump ahead from one moment to the next. Do not do a task as a means to an end. BE present in the task and do it properly. As I type this I have to bring my mind back to where I think I need to be next to where I am now. I am here now, typing and thinking.
The evening was entirely the panacea I needed. I am good.

March astro is up. What a month we have ahead of us. Stay present, don’t try to guess, just let it unfold. You will be alright. You have come this far and look how well you have done. You have no problems, only challenges. Challenges require action. Stop and be present with your challenge. What do you need to do next? The answer is simple. It will come. Problems are your minds ideas of what faces you. Challenges are thing to put action towards as they arise. You can do it. You are doing it. You are it.

Kate- what a wonderful post. I too had the privilege of hearing Eckhart Tolle in Sydney. The stillness after his talk was palpable. While my to do list appears to be getting longer, and the resources I need to achieve it all is a little short this week, I try to focus on the solutions to the challenges - one by one- and not let them get bigger and scarier in my mind. Thanks for the inspiration

Thanks for the astro clarification. What started out as a tough first 10 days of the month has slowly in the last 24 hours begun to clear up. Confusion and doubt, miscommunications and delays seem to have lifted and answers come to questions. I feel like I must be light on my feet this month to make it through these initial stages. I am doing it. This IS it. And I will enjoy it even when the going is tough.
Today I woke up with no money. None. I sold some things I have online by lunchtime, put gas in the car and some food on the table. I got to work and someone paid me to teach them tarot. I came home and found we have a renter in our other property and have a damage deposit in hand.
All things that you WILL to happen will happen. That's why they call it WILL power =) Because it WILL....
Stay positive, everyone. What you want to happen will happen.

I like your thoughts LifeLearner and Holy Mother of God. Things happen as they happen and we must remain in the 'is-ness' of the moment.
