Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat Seminar Part 2 of 6: But…
December 4, 2009 by dr. lam
Findhorn, Scotland
Tolle’s tranquil Findhorn Retreat locale as pictured in yesterday’s blog is an ideal place for a spiritual retreat. However, he reports that it is located near a Royal Air Force base that may have screaming jets fly overhead. It also is plagued with Scottish fog and mist. He cautions his audience not to declare, “Man, this place would be great only if there were not a base next door.” ”I wish there were more sunlight.” ”I could have enjoyed myself this weekend if…”
How often do we enter a situation and it is just not perfect enough for us because… We are compelled again to condition our happiness with a big BUT! I love this vacation spot but I would enjoy it so much more if it were not so hot, expensive, sunny, rainy, etc. We force certain conditions of our situation that must be met for us to be happy. Too bad we will never find that happiness because there is no perfect situation, place or time.
What is perfect as Tolle preaches is the here and now. If we live fully in the moment and enjoy where we are and are fully engaged with the now, then we allow these silly “flaws” to vanish and all we see is a radiant present. Today, enjoy everything about where you are and stop focusing on all the BUTS.
