Post 1,057: A Deeper Awareness
In A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle says, “I’m never upset for the reason I think.” This made me stop and ponder for a moment on what he meant.
What I came up with, is when I am upset, I can ask why and find deeper and deeper answers.
For instance, I might be angry at my friend because he didn’t call me back. However, I had left a voicemail asking a last-minute request, and he might not have even heard the message yet. Maybe I am really angry because I am afraid of not being important to him? What if I am suspicious he is doing something fun and I am missing out? What if I am just feeling lonely? Really, any of these could be true.
I am never upset at the thing I think is upsetting me is an idea worth pondering.
