Path to Enlightenment

If you seek and strive for enlightenment as a spiritual goal then there is a problem, when you give up looking for it, that is when you discover you were always enlightened, your old self will die (the ego) and you will be reborn into the totality you never left.
This may sound like a riddle but when you experience totality,non dualism, enlightenment, connection to source, whatever label you wish to give it you realise at your core that is what you are, everything, you always have been.
The person you thought you were with the identity, the likes, dislikes, history, lovers, money, friends was not really who you are, it was an ego driven blanket over your true nature.
The society we currently live in fuels this ego blanket, we think we are the body, the house we live in, the car we drive, the money and possessions we have, the high powered job we do. We are none of those things, that is just a partial view of what we are, we are every thing in all of creation, we are the consciousness in all things, unlimited by our very nature, connected to all things (hence synchronicity).
Now is the time we are waking ourselves up to consciously realise we are consciousness unbounded, fear and attachment dissolved we rebuild this Earth into a New Earth full of unconditional love for all things, as once enlightened loving everyone else is like loving yourself, a natural and easy option.

Eckhart Tolle-A New Earth

I had met Eckhart Tolle in London maybe six years ago after reading The power of Now.
I had limited success in understanding what appeared to be basic Zen teachings of stilling the mind and even after meeting the man in person I struggled, gave up for a while then forgot.
I have just finished reading his latest book and it has helped me realise more than any other my true spiritual nature, I believe I experienced some sort of Satori last night which was amazingly refreshing. The ego was crushed temporarily which let me see my true identity, it was a massive wow moment which made me laugh. I cannot rate this book highly enough, it's nothing new, it's the way it is written which is different.
This is the top selling book at Amazon.com at the moment and I would advise everyone to read a copy, I listened to the audio book version read by Tolle which was excellent.
If you want to have a look before you purchase click on the book.

Huge 'Ocean' Discovered Inside Earth

Scientists scanning the deep interior of Earth have found evidence of a vast water reservoir beneath eastern Asia that is at least the volume of the Arctic Ocean.

The discovery marks the first time such a large body of water has found in the planet’s deep mantle.

The finding, made by Michael Wysession, a seismologist at Washington University in St. Louis, and his former graduate student Jesse Lawrence, now at the University of California, San Diego, will be detailed in a forthcoming monograph to be published by the American Geophysical Union.
