I love that 'Is that so' comment as well. I have Kabbalah on one side and Eckhart's teachings on the other side-both very similar. Different writers and wise men translate from the sages in their own way but basically saying the same good words. You might want to get Elizabeth Lesser's book, Broken Open. Elizabeth will be on Oprah's webcast and her XM radio show this coming week. She is a jewel not to be missed. Love & light, Myrna Hi Damien,

I have to work on a daily basis with someone who constantly keeps up a barrage of negatives regarding work colleagues, and it had begun to make me a nervous wreck. I have to admit that I have also sadly caught myself playing into it. I found your website whilst surfing for commentary on "A New Earth" which I find intriguing and so enlightening. Now instead of dreading going back into work tomorrow after a week's leave I shall go in armed with the right thing to say. This will, I hope and trust, protect me from becoming part of the negative energy that has bringing me down and causing terrible depression. Sincerely Judith Dear Damien

Thank you for “Is that so?”

I have to work on a daily basis with someone who constantly keeps up a barrage of negatives regarding work colleagues, and it had begun to make me a nervous wreck. I have to admit that I have also sadly caught myself playing into it.
I found your website whilst surfing for commentary on “A New Earth” which I find intriguing and so enlightening.
Now instead of dreading going back into work tomorrow after a week’s leave I shall go in armed with the right thing to say.
This will, I hope and trust, protect me from becoming part of the negative energy that has bringing me down and causing terrible depression.

Sincerely
Judith

Her story is amazing and her gift to all of us is a book purchase away I'm happy to say. Dr Taylor was a Harvard brain scientist when she had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible. What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can! Thank you Dr. Taylor, and thank you Eckhart and Oprah.

The book has deeply resonated with me in a powerful way. I love Eckhart's suggestion of using the response, "Is that so?", also. It really helps. Also, he suggests we can think of ourselves as being translucent when negative energies are coming our way, and just let the negative field flow through you and out, kind of like the light going through a glass or crystal. I'm so delighted for the many of millions of people who are all benefitting from his books! Blessings to you.
