Indeed, this is in the same section that he cites that women have more to forgve them men in general, for they have to forgive men for their "collective belief" that their power was taken by man. The truth is of course that they gave it away just as man did too, to beliefs of a non-love (fear) nature. In Love and Peace, David x<ul></ul> Dear Gretchen,

Its not that ET says that menstruation is past pain surfacing, in fact he says that it provides a natural letting-go opportunity for women.

Indeed, this is in the same section that he cites that women have more to forgve them men in general, for they have to forgive men for their “collective belief” that their power was taken by man. The truth is of course that they gave it away just as man did too, to beliefs of a non-love (fear) nature.

In Love and Peace,

Especially if one plays with the ideas rather than evaluating their truth. Although many of the criticisms of Tolle are warranted, they are also premature - once you have meditated with his techniques for a few hundred hours, THEN you will find your own limitations with the work. Before then, it is pretty much all gifts and beauty.<ul></ul> Excellent book. Especially if one plays with the ideas rather than evaluating their truth.

I'm pretty used to sifting out the stuff that I think is just plain off base. For example, <a href="http://www.growthpop.com/landmark-education" title="review of the Landmark Forum" rel="nofollow">Landmark</a> has great distinctions, if you can filter through the hard sell, <a href="http://www.growthpop.com/the-way-of-the-superior-man-by-david-deida" title="Book review of Way of the Superior Man by David Deida" rel="nofollow">Way of the Superior Man</a> even calls out it's stereotype and asks you to suspend your indignation and see the value in the lesson. That said, I'm not going to read this either, I think there are other resources out there for seeing how to live in the present without the borderline misogynist views. I think there's value in a lot of this stuff, even if there are views that I disagree with, or offend me, and I also have limited time and am looking forward to reading the <a href="http://www.growthpop.com/?page_id=34&forumaction=showposts&thread=2&forum=6&start=0" title="review and forum thread for the 4 Hour Workweek" rel="nofollow">4 Hour Workweek</a>.<ul></ul> I’ve certainly read my fair share of Personal Development books, and some that were “out there.” I’m pretty used to sifting out the stuff that I think is just plain off base.

And it makes good sense that the present is the only place to be, really, and I notice ALL THE TIME when I'm upset that I'm living in either present or future. So...good work, Eckhart! But my god, is he serious about menstruation as past pain resurfacing!? With this one little fact, Kenny has knocked Eckhart off his pedestal, and now I'm REALLY not going to read the book. Sheesh!<ul></ul> I seem to enjoy vicarious transformation, so I haven’t actually read The Power of Now, but I have talked to friends who have.
