Hello all. I was wondering if ther's a cure for "Nowism", that is where alll you feel is RIGHT NOW, the present moment, like your mind and body aren't in time, like you're not really yourself, this constant "no-self" state. It has happened to me as a result of reading "The power of Now" by eckhart tolle and i was wondering if there's a way to go b

QuotepurefatHi TOT, You may be able to recover with the passing of time. Otherwise you may have to accept your condition and deal with it. Advice could be an attempt to turn you in a certain direction, toward another cult or mind game. Good luck. Yeah that's the key word isn't it, "accept", straight out of Tolle's New Age/ Dumb-brain lingo. Once you "accept&quo

QuoteWineGuyIf you have "become a zombie" or find that it is actually harder to "get things done" then I would contend you have made an error in practice or more likely you are not actually "doing a practice" but have just absorbed the "ideas" on the teaching of non-dualism at an intellectual level only. If you do not want to move in the non-dual direction

QuotejahHi Tiredofthis, First I am curious whether or not what you describe is a sort of tendency you have, or the result of a lot of reading or practice of something? For instance, there is a some research that indicates that a lot of meditation without focus on something can cause a certain amount of disassociation or what is sometimes called 'right brain dominance,' which makes
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Hi.Well i saw threads on "recovering NOWists" and all that and i'm just wondering if it's possible to recover from nondualism, ie. to feel like a separate self again, with body and mind in time, a little me (if anyone knows what i mean) and all that. The reason i ask is because a lot of areas of life, in my case, being a student require a "little me" and a sense of
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I'm just wondering if someone could give me a straightforward opinion on this. As i mentioned in some of my previous posts, ever since i've read "The Power of Now" i felt i've been going through the motions of life with the feeling that i'm detached from both my body and my sense of self- like i'm the outside observer of my actions, my physical body and my tho
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Thanks for all the input, everyone. I guess the overall point I want to make is that my mind and body are TOTALLY removed from time- it has been like this for almost a year now ever since I read TPoN and it makes proper time managent a real bitch when you're a student. Like i'd be hearing the clock ticking and there's never in my head "i need to do this or that" or "
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Maybe a bit of a risque topic/iffy topic but does anyone feel that the New Age material while catering to giving you the "peace" and the high that makes you feel good inadvertedly comprises one's intellect or intelligence? I mean in terms of the ability to critically analyze, discern patterns, absorb/comprehend information, focus and stuff like that.. And i'm talking about mat

I guess if i need to be under a doctor's care than millions of people around the world who've read "the Power of Now" need to be as well, unless for some strange reason i'm the only one of that group who's been experiencing these effects.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

QuotezeuszorIt sounds as if you are dissociating, to me. Are you under a doctor's care, first of all? Yeah i go through periods of rather troubling dissociation, particularly so because i'm a university student, sometimes i just zone out and i'd be looking at text i need to study and the words would be like swimming in front of me, just bad focus. I often have to reread sentence

Hello, are there any exit counsellors in Ontario, Canada? Thanks..
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Corboy, i'm in dire need of exit counseeling.. and maybe some other stuff on top of that.. It's tough being a student and dealing with this bullshit. Not only that but i saw something really graphic online a ages ago and my brain can't get over it. It goes back and forth bothering me and distracting my attention. It's hard as hell to focus what's left of my mind to get wo

Thanks, Alyb45, that's good advice: just curious, you said you were once a Tolle fan. What threw you off eventually?

Another thing - i'm getting pretty tired of the feeling that i'm 'f'loating'- that i'm not really 'in' time but rather 'outside' of time. I get particularly anxious when i must use time to get something done, like an assignment or writing a test becauase 1. i can't really feel it since i'm not in it and 2. I feel that my brainwashed stat

...out of my brain and out of my consciousness. I'm really tired of the depersonalized hypnobabble from the power of now that plays and scrolls through my head day after day, as it has ever since i read the book more than a year ago. Not a single day goes (or has gone) by when i don't think of him and his teachings. I actually feel like he's living inside my head. I'm curr
