First Look: Eckhart Tolle Reveals the Source of All Hurt Feelings - A New Earth - OWN - Video

Part of what being here and having this physical experience is about, is having wonderful desires that show up in the physical: a beautiful marriage, a Hollywood premiere, a house in the Hills, a lead on our own TV show.

But we get so consumed with going for these events that we forget that most of our lives are made up of all the stuff in between them. So we end up wasting so much time waiting for what we think is our real life when its happening at all times.

We have to live the minutiae in between the events as if they were the events themselves!

Because they really are. If most of our lives are being spent there, how do we start to live our lives more in what we casually brain-drain dismiss as the mundane?

First, its not easy. When youre standing in line at the grocery store in the 12-items-or-less lane and the person in front of you has 50 items and youre reading the covers of those glossy magazines talking about other peoples exciting life events and you think to yourself, This cant be my life event here, it is.

Its not easy when you get the call from your agent that you didnt get the job. Again.

Its not easy when you come home to find out your boyfriend or girlfriend has moved out.

But essentially all of these moments are event moments, they just arent being lived that way. But also, they lead us to other event moments of our lives. Without them there is no future event. If we can learn to appreciate them a little more, a few things happen: We get happier, we stop living for the future, we become less stressed because we let go of control, we let things unfold naturally, we wake up, we stop taking things so seriously. We realize that getting the stuff is great but all the stuff we experience along the way is also joyful.

Then we begin to realize our entire life is the event, just as it is, not necessarily as a lead-up to something else.

Eckhart Tolle - Flbreds - Video

Ever since I bought a discounted copy of FIFA 13 in late 2013, I have been playing it almost every day for the past six months, and recently Ive been trying to figure out why. Ive come up with an idea. Even though at times competitive games can lead to rage and frustration, they can also be meditative, because they require you to be in the moment for every second you are playing them.

Recently Ive been reading The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. Im not here to sell you on the book, only to give context on my line of thinking. One of the things he touches on is the idea of presence, that being present and not worrying about the future or past is a very healthy thing to do. He writes about the peaceful frame of mind he calls no-mind, where the brain is so focused on the moment that you have a clear mind without thoughts rattling around up there.

Focus and presence is required for success in competitive games, because the moment your mind wanders from the task at hand someone will score a goal on you, shoot you in the back, or overtake your 1st place position. Competitive games often move at such a fast pace that thinking will be punished and action will be rewarded. When playing a racing game, I dont think about at which second Im going to take a turn; I take that turn in the second that feels right in the moment. Those who play fighting games at a high level probably arent pre-planning what combo they will pull out 30 seconds into a match. They react in the moment according to their opponents actions, and the opponent is trying to do the same.

FIFA 13 matches me up online against players of my skill level, which means I know I have a chance of winning if I focus and play well. But, Ive come to find out that if Im not paying attention when playing defense, good players will score on me immediately. Thus, Ive come to realize that I must put my full focus and attention on to the game for the full 20 to 30 minutes the match lasts if I want to maximize my chances of winning. I enjoy the dynamic gameplay of FIFA, so this is what I do: I put my full mental focus into FIFA whenever I play it.

In turn, FIFA is a game where I can take my mind off things. When I come home from a long days work, I can sit down and play FIFA. When I play, I wont get mad about the day I had or worry about what my future will look like in a month. I cant or else I will likely get scored upon. I devote my full presence to the match, and after Ive played a few I feel better and more relaxed. It clears my mind and eases my head, which is the goal of many practices of meditation. In fact, during my period of unemployment before this internship, FIFA was a nice escape from the mental anxiety I had about my future.

At the same time, however, if I lose too many matches in a row in FIFA or get killed repeatedly while playing a shooter, I get upset and frustrated, which definitely does not lead to a healthy mental state. I think this is because once I start losing, I am no longer playing with presence. I am looking to the future to redeem myself. I worry more about winning the next round instead of actually focusing and playing the game. Thinking about winning while youre playing usually leads to more losing, at least in my experience.

So what can we take away from this? Two things: Competitive games can be stress-relieving and meditative if you approach them correctly. If you leave your ego at the door, stop thinking, and focus purely on each moment of gameplay reflexively, competitive games can calm the mind. Secondly, if you want to enjoy competitive games more, try to bring 100% of your attention to whats going on in the game rather than thinking about winning or losing. Youll probably end up winning more this way anyway.

Editors note: This post was inspired by the videoCan Bullet Hell Games be Meditative?on The PBS Idea Channel on YouTube a channel I highly recommend.
