Reflection: Pain is an illusion

Think with all your body…

In the past few weeks, I noticed a lot of pain inside my head, neck, back, and shoulders… The more I feel the pain, the more thinking I have. A lot of thoughts… Work-related thoughts, spiritual thoughts, future planning thoughts, trying to find out how to get rid of the pain thoughts, and all kinds of thoughts.

Yesterday evening, I picked my favorite audio book of Eckart Tolle again; The practice of the power of now.

It got to the chapter of pain body. I listed to all Eckart’s books for so many times… Each time, I learned different aspects of “thing”.

This time, the pain was so intense. I listened and follow the instructions of this chapter twice. I realized that many times, when I tried to find the way to get rid of my pain or discomfort, I tried to do it with my mind.

This time, I realized that the mind was the one that keeps generating pain as well… even the thoughts about spiritual, future planing… the thoughts that I think it has neutral polarity… Well, like Eckart told us… they are just thoughts, and they are just ego (past, future concept in my mind).

I noticed that the consciousness that move my awareness to my body, not just my head is not the thought… Thinking doesn’t control my consciousness… I can move my awareness without thinking and it is actually better.

I’m still amazed of realizing about the consciousness in this aspect…. If I listed to this chapter with my thoughts, it doesn’t make much sense as much as I listed to the book with all of my body. Let the consciousness listen to the truth about itself by Eckart… Then I realize that consciousness in me.

I’m so amazed that this realization made me wake up early to journal down this experience. The pain is subsided in a huge way.

Listen to Eckart’s books with all of your body… Do work and think will all of your body (not just your head)… and the outcome is so powerful.
