The Power of NOW
by Eckhart Tolle
The mind’s way of guiding your decisions is sneaky. What you do and how you react to situations is projection from the past. Your conditioning guides your fears; your beliefs influence your emotions. It could be that listening to a certain song triggers tears, they run down your cheeks. Think of them as the result of your mind excavating memories. Whether happy or sad memories, what is happening is that the past is infiltrating the present moment. In this state, your next thought, decision and action will most likely be guided by emotions that may, frankly, belong in the past.
