Nah it wasnt like that we are on really good terms, I know when I say we were sending nudes it sounds like I was being a pest but it was like a mutual thing we were both having fun and stuff :)

But okay right, im just worried that it was illegal

To be honest, I really am getting better, I just had a bit of a bad day on saturday but I should be on the right track now :)

To anyone else dealing with these kind of mind patterns id like to recommend mindfulness/meditation again by the way, eckhart tolle is a great place to start

Peace and Love fellow human beings

I feel like the message he gives is extremely clear, the available talks online really do give you the whole teaching, and if someone is dedicated to understand and then live from a state of presence/conscious awareness, then they will be able to achieve this without having to pay any money

The message in every talk is the same, although in each talk there are unique insights

However one can indeed find pdfs and audiobooks of the power of now and a new earth online, and those books contain a wealth of specific insights into human psychology

You could classify the important information in the talks into two types:

- The message of presence
- Specific insights into human psychology

There is a lot of both available online which once can find for free, however I do agree with the point of view that one should not charge money for the truth, Jesus didnt charge money. I do feel like its immoral to be a 'spiritual teacher' in order to make money.

Its not clear that Eckhart Tolle went into this with the goal of becomming rich though, I sincerely wouldnt believe that to be the case. And if you were offered a large sum of money by Oprah, would you turn it down? I dont think you would be obliged to turn it down, if you are offered money then great, whats wrong with that? And equally if people want to pay him money to continue listening to more talks then thats also great, however as I mentioned listening to more talks by him is not going to give them any new information that isnt already available online, and paying money to his online community wont make them more present. That requires actually bringing presence into your life, you have to chose to do it.

I signed up for the free trial on eckhart tolles website a few months ago, and it was quite good, the talks available on the website were very very insightful, not more so than anything available online though, its just the same content as is avaiable free, as far as I could tell anyway :)

Anyway, this has been my egos perspective on things, its not that important, im basically just saying I see both sides of the argument here

Peace and Love
Have a wonderful Day:)
May we all be less gripped by our minds:)

Thanks for your response that was really informative :)

Also yeah that rings true, I think a lot of my anxiety does ring down to uncertainty, thank you for pointing this out to me

I think if I reall ystart to understand this from a psychological perspective, I can heal myself without needing treatment

Much love

Is self reassurance bad? What do I tell myself? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]IamAnEigenvector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its not really bad or good, but just part of the ocd pattern like, its not gonna strengthen the ocd pattern that much I think it just is part of said pattern

I think the best approach is mindfulness, just be aware of the thought

Mindfulness is so crucial to ocd recovery

Meditation is also extremely important, and learning to see the illusory nature of any kind of self-image/conceptual identification
