The New Essenes: "What is EPN?"

Eckhart Tolle, best known as the author of The Power of Now, states: “realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.”
That realization is no less than Self-Realization! Indeed, when I let go of my attachment to outcomes, I find myself enjoying the process. I drop the plan, and am in the zone, happily ever after. I have no attention on time, and do not create unconscious time (no procrastination).

On that note, story is told of a new patient settling comfortably on the couch. The psychiatrist began his therapy session saying: “I’m not aware of your problem. So perhaps, you should start at the very beginning.” “Of course.” replied the patient. “In the beginning, I created the Heavens and the Earth...” There is an interesting realization – my mind creates it all! I am the one who opens on the gate to Heaven and the gate to Hell. Both gates are within me: when my mind is alert, I choose Heaven. When unconscious, I choose Hell!
