Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Namaste. I think these thoughts have been further developed in the article 'No-Mind And The Cinema Screen Analogy " by Mourad Rashad at satsangh (luthar.com) mag. In fact, all of Tolle's writings centre around this theme. It is very interesting to read how in his 'Great Earth' he relates this gap between thoughts (the now, the present) to the 'nothing' of the Buddhists.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thank you Nairji for your information. I have joined this group very recently and find the exchange of mails so very useful. In these modern times with the kind of busy lives all of us lead , we have apparently not much time to attend satsanghs physically . But forums and groups like these bridge that vaccum so wonderfully.
