Listening to Tolle's SelfTalk video was very self-validating. I AM making progress because I could relate to almost everything he said.
Sri Nisargadatta adds this: *The Simple Secret to Success RE Self Talk:* *"M: *How do you go about finding anything? By keeping your mind and heart in it. Interest there must be and steady remembrance. To remember what needs to be remembered is the secret of success. You come to it through earnestness. *Q: *Do you mean to say that mere wanting to find out is enough? Surely, both qualifications and opportunities are needed. *M: *These will come with earnestness. What is supremely important is to be free from contradictions: the goal and the way must not be on different levels; life and light must not quarrel; behaviour must not betray belief. Call it honesty, integrity, wholeness; you must not go back, undo, uproot, abandon the conquered ground. Tenacity of purpose and honesty in pursuit will bring you to your goal. *Q: *Tenacity and honesty are endowments, surely! Not a trace of them I have. *M: *All will come as you go on. Take the first step first. All blessings come from within. Turn within. 'l am' you know. Be with it all the time you can spare, until you revert to it spontaneously. There is no simpler and easier way." I would amend that it is the most simple and direct, but I do not find it easy. However, I know I can do it because all it requires is consistent dedicated practice. love, colleen
