What might Eckhart Tolle say about how to find true love? Part 2

“If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating fundamentally the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction”

Eckart Tolle, A New Earth (Oprah book club of the month)

How To Attract Your Soul Mate

We are human beings and we absorb the meaning of life from what we see, hear, and experience. Of, course we define love as our parents did and as our society and our culture does through norms and, of course, TV, movies, and now YouTube.

If our current definition of true love remains unchanged, we will recreate the same “love relationships” over and over again. To me it is not that our current definition of true love is bad or evil; it is dysfunctional in that it doesn’t work for us.

According to Tolle, we need to breakup the old egoic mind patterns so a new dimension of consciousness can emerge. Right on!

We often make a list of the characteristics we want in our true love, our romantic soul mate - tall, dark and handsome or short, petite, good-looking. We get a picture of ‘my type” is (Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston) and it becomes our dogma to the point that we don’t even notice anyone else, and keep recreating one failed relationship/marriage after another.

We all know Jeri. Jeri goes in and out of relationships like they are fad clothing. She’s all in love one day and dumped the next. It happens over and over.

You can all see that she is in a self-defeating pattern. Jeri keeps picking, and losing, the same lover over and over again. The details change from person to person – one was six feet tall and slender, one five-foot seven with a wrestler build; last month it was a stock broker, this month a spiritual guru – but the outcome is always the same.

Jeri is often the topic of discussion among you and your friends. “Here she goes again!” you exclaim in exasperation. You know it was only a matter of time before Jeri’s heart would be broken yet again.

The people Jeri picked were not bad people; they were not jerks, nor were they losers in the grand scheme of life. They just weren’t right for Jeri. And, by the way, Jeri wasn’t right for them. Jeri was never going to have a happy true love relationship with any of them.

If you don’t want to be Jeri, then you have to rewire the neuo-structures, the neuro-pathways in your brain to your definition to true love – your irresistible definition of true love (tm).

You have to transcend your current thought patterns and develop a new belief system about love – your irresistible definition of true love. According to Tolle

In fact, at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of thought, the newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought.”

Many call this listening to that still small voice within. Deepak Chopra calls it the space between your thoughts.

Once you discover your irresistible definition of true love, you have transcended a societal norm and shifted your consciousness to reflect the inner essence of you. And, my friend it is this inner essence, this true you that is truly irresistible.

I can’t wait to read more and continue with whatever Part 3 of this series will be. I begin reading next on page 25, Chapter Two.

I, like millions of people all over the world, am participating in Oprah’s exciting class with Eckart Tolle around his latest book, A New Earth.” I can hardly get through a paragraph without relating it to my life and my successful quest for true love by changing my consciousness. I am so excited I can hardly stop reading long enough to capture my thoughts.

But, if I don’t, I’ll forget. So I’m reading only a few pages a day. It will be fun to see how my interpretation of how Eckhart Tolle’s philosophical writing applies to the real world issue of how to find true love.

I would like to thank Mr. Tolle for his wonderful guidance. I sincerely hope I do it justice.
