I feel like my recent posts have been mainly about me complaining about things. I simply can't help it lately. You know when you just go through time periods where you feel the loneliness of the world? That actually is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it. Unless you're referring to the actual planet. In that respect, I'm sure you could feel lonely, knowing you're so small on such a gigantic chunk of earth. I just wish that I had a solution. I don't want pity, and I'm not after attention. My family seem to have gotten something right though.
Take my mum and sister.
Both of them are pretty into thoughts. And by this, I mean they're into the power of the mind. With recent events in my family, well, not too recent now I guess, but with these events came huge grief and struggle. Both my mum and sister have chosen to read and listen to such publications as Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" and Eckhart Tolle's "Now". They both promote different ideas, but eventuate to the same idea of happiness and wellbeing. From what I just gathered from my sister, "The Secret" is about finding out what you're thinking by how you feel. It's also about how if you feel amazing, and think positive thoughts, then you'll send these frequencies out into the universe, and by laws of attraction, positive things will come your way.
Now, I'm not very into the whole "spirituality" thing, but some of this stuff does make a bit of sense. My sister said that it changed her life.
Maybe it's a change that I need too.
I just ordered the Eckhart Tolle book. A friend of mine who has recently been through a bad break up from her husband (with 3 children :/) recommended it. Oh and Oprah did too. So I guess I'll give it a go :) Maybe I'll write about my take on it.
ReplyDeleteI recommend the "Wonders of our Solar System" series currently on BBC2 to get perspective on our life tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWj0Cm-gHFo I don't know about it changing your life-I just find it really inspiring.
