The Work isn't even a thing. Its just four questions and it needs your answers in order for it to work. Say I used to be depressed we all feel our lows, but it's not just a coincidence, it's what Eckhart Tolle talks about in his book The Power of Now, it's what Katie talks about in Loving What is. It's our thoughts that get us feeling down. I've read The Power of Now before this book. I've tried being "aware" of my thoughts trying to become enlightened. And you might ask If I was in Pain yeah, I was. That stuff just doesn't work, and I'm not sorry. If you still believe the cat should be barking nothing in the world will help, unless you question it.
Being in the moment. How? Is something I wanted to know? When I believed that something in the future will make me happier that's what I got. I was never in the moment because I was too preoccupied with the future being better. How could I appreciate the now?
And I study psychology and this about believing your thoughts is unconscious if you believing a car will give me happiness, then not matter how many classes you go to "accept" the moment, and here you are with the thought "A car will give me happiness" then you've just wasted your money. If you believe that thought your natural instincts (called the ego, or you) will get you to that point in time. It won't help because you still believe a car will make me happy, and you didn't even know you were a thought away from really accepting the moment. You don't really care about accepting the moment, what you really want is to be happy.
Think of a time where you may have thought that big huge house give you happiness. If you believe that it will then that's your reality. Its only when we attach to the thoughts that make us feel bad. So there you are thinking I will be happier in the future. What happens? You begin not feel so productive you may just focus your attention on that and not enjoy your time now. The work helps you let go of realizing I won't be happier with a big house. You have to give your answers when it asks, nobody else can help you unless you believe what they're saying is right. After the work asks you will you really be happier? You begin to realize "yeah I don't need a big house to be happy" I can be happy right now. There are people that are more miserable having a big house they have to pay more bills and what not. After inquiring the thought "having a big house will make me happy" you begin to see freedom, you let it go. You being to see I can be happy now. And that's what counts. You begin to do what you love, what you ever wanted like you just like you were reborn into a magical place called earth not bounded to anyone but yourself, and your thoughts. Don't expect any fireworks, but it's
nice to feel good.
