Many people will agree that one of the greatest blessings in life are children. However, most of society is still structured in such a way today, where people think that the answer to having a fulfilled and complete existence is having children.
So, while many are caught up with the expectation of having children and busy planning them, very few people actually stop and think about the real preparation and impacts of having a child.
Unfortunately, when it comes to having kids, for many of us this longing for children stems from a very selfish decision, one that is often based on personal fulfillment, ownership and greed. Now that may sound harsh to some, but the truth is, this internal drive exists unconsciously in many of us, whether we are aware of it or not, and today goes beyond the basic evolutionary instinct.
That is why when I came across Rick Hurst’s e-book, “A Primer on Growing Children” a few months ago, I was really blown away by the compassion and wisdom that Rick presented in this short e-book.
Rick very intelligently structured the book where he compares having children to planting and caring for a seedling in a garden. The ideas in it, are thus compiled in a very charming and elegant way, where one will quickly understand what Rick is talking about when it comes to parenting, without getting offended.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s TED talk and hence wrote an article on it here to introduce any of you who have not seen it or heard of her.
Last week, on Sunday May 25thThe New York Times wrote an article on Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, entitled “A Superhighway to Bliss“. In this article, New York Times even referenced Evolving Beings and the discussion we were having here regarding this “now famous” neuroanatomist.
Over the past few weeks, Oprah has also hosted Dr.Taylor on her XM radio Soul Series and you can check out all four parts of the interviews here.
Add to that being featured in Time Magazine, as one of the 100 most influential people of 2008 and a best selling book and you have one famous and amazingly accomplished human being.
Well that is how the media might take it, but to me, Jill Bolte Taylor is not the latest “fad” or an icon for anything. She is a stroke survivor, a doctor, a scientist, an amazing individual - but above all an enlightened being!
She has through all this made it into the spotlight and with that, unfortunately in our society, comes a big price to pay. In this article I will hence be looking at some of the challenges that this woman who is quickly changing lives is facing from a positive and negative stand point.
Last night, Monday April 7th, Oprah hosted her sixth webcast with Eckhart Tolle. In this webcast they explored the sixth chapter of his book A New Earth, entitled “Breaking Free”.
Oprah began the evening with reading some excerpts from Eckhart’s new book entitled “Stillness Speaks”.
Oprah began the evening with a beautiful poem entitled “Lost” by David Wagoner. Eckhart then continued with leading everyone into a moment of stillness. After the moment of stillness, Oprah commented how easy these moments have now become and how much longer they seem than just the actual 10 seconds that they last. To this Eckhart gave a beautiful response saying that if you bring your full attention to any moment it becomes holy. And this goes back to my views that people who for example are strongly tied to a religion seem to only “find” or “feel” holiness in places of worship, but truly when we awaken and become still to feel the essence of our being - that is Holy.
The chapter on the Pain-Body is special to me not because I have a heavy pain-body, but because it allowed me to understand and gain a deeper understanding of many people who are close to me and carry very heavy pain-bodies of their own. Eckhart explains in this chapter that we all get so caught up with “me and my story” that we revolve our lives and thoughts around that, thinking that is who we are. Well naturally, this is not who you are.
