Hi NavyMe,

I have this one on my book shelf but have not read it. I did read "A New Earth". Well, not only did I read but I participated in a webinar with Oprah, Eckhart and millions of others as we went through each chapter together week by week. It was really cool stuff.

I think that if we can influence feeling bad (which I can do), then we can influence feeling good, right?

Did you know that he sat on a park bench for two years in a state of complete joy? I saw him live and IDK, didn't really get the sense that he was that stable. Although he was terrific on Oprah but that was a couple of years ago.

I have struggled to read that one. "A New Earth" has also been challenging for me to read. Not sure why.

It's funny... The first bit of it was great....Explained all about the different parts of us that drag us down and beat us up and how to get past it and 'live in the now'...But then I kept reading and it got heavily religious... I still haven't finished it.

Really not all that interested in doing so now.

I used to be very much into the New Thought stuff, but I have become skeptical of some of it. I intend to go back this time, and find what is useful for me and what is not.

I think that for me, just stilling my mind might bring me closer to bliss. Often this happens while I'm doing something like snowboarding, that requires focus.

I actually have this book on the shelf. I'll see what I find in it today, open it up to any page...
