A New Earth - Update

I downloaded the first installment of this webevent tonight and just finished watching it. Actually I think I got more out of it this way than had I been able to watch it live. If you download it to your computer you can pause it if needed as well as go back to hear things again that weren't quite so clear the first time you heard them. I got a lot out of the first session and intend to watch the entire series. I'm going to try to figure out how to get the downloaded webevents onto a DVD so I can keep them and watch them again and again. You can download the webevent on oprah.com. If you'd rather listen to it, there is a podcast available for download as well.

Here are a few notes I jotted down........

Change only comes after acceptance. Acceptance of what is. Action comes out of acceptance.
What you resist, persists. Be at peace with the present moment by accepting what is.
Ask yourself "What is my relationship with the present moment?"
Rather than ask what it is you want from "life" as what does "life" want from me?
The human condition is lost in thought.
Practice being present. Ask yourself "Am I still breathing?"

Reading suggestions:
Elizabeth Lesser "The Seekers Guide"
Anything my Joel Goldsmith
Eckhart Tolle "Stillness Speaks" "The Power of Now"

Now I'm off to complete my workbook pages for the first chapter.
