 Eckhart Tolle is a stink cunt.

Right now is my fucking problem. My body is tense and uncomfortable, there is no peace in it. I can stop my thoughts, I've been practicing non-thought for years and it does nothing. What is so fucking great about right now? This is Dan Milman all over again, no ordinary moments, what crap. These con-artists get rich giving people false hope, well done for them. No such thing as presence or transcending time.

All these 'teachers' cover the symptoms of merely not 'knowing' the one Reality - Yourself. And don't look for it - who is to find who if You are all there is? It's NOT a mystery, it is NOT hiding from you. It simply is... and if you're hurting try to take it easy. You're doing it wrong.
And most of them are hacks, yes. Eckhart Tolle seems to be one to me. His mannerisms, speech, regurgitated ideas and what not... it all sells, but the Truth is far too SIMPLE to make a teaching out of it. What sort of Reality would it be if you had to learn how to 'get there'? It would not be Reality at all. So I just ignore teachers except the ones with nice personalities, simply because I like the personalities, as I know there is nothing to learn.
You can say it is perfect though. It is perfect because the Self transcends the human mind, which is limited. The Self is unlimited, and thus cannot be caught at work. Abiding in the Self, which is a name for a set of behaviors opposite to searching and wanting, there is no fear, no doubt, no thing, only perfect sense. "The Truth is so simple..." -Ramana Maharshi.
Stop reading, stop playing with the mind which vanishes in the Self when you come off the game of 'mind', start being yourself. Stop searching, stop wanting, stop the negativity and extremes.
Liberty is right there in front of you, and it's no trick.
But it does seem to be a process of assimilation of the mind into the Self for a little while. This is mostly because you have to blend into society and function too. You have to learn to balance the vanishing mind, until it is good to function when you need it and willingly disappears when you don't. This is just my experience though. I know what the sages are saying but I want some piece of the pie out there, to a degree...

"Right now is my fucking problem. My body is tense and uncomfortable, there is no peace in it."
Hey guise, I have no legs and now I find it really difficult to walk, what gives? Fuck all the shoe companies, buncha con artists.

The Pattern contains everything that is, completely fixed in succession, all the minimal particles interconnected in every way that is. Every way that is is not every conceivable way, because not everything that can be conceived is manifest in the pattern."
"THE Human, you, is a miniscule but essential part of that pattern. In it lies complete fulfillment. It will never become something it is not, but it will never need to be anything else." - Wiccan_Seeker

Hey I quit Abilify (anti-psychotic)! Shit wasn't cool. The antidepressant offsets my shitty upbringing, gives me a chance to change the negative into positive.

Try taking a few really deeps breaths and see if you feel any better. What causes you to be tense? What are you anxious about? Is it something effecting you right now, or is it something in the future?

Isn't that a personalism?

The Buddhist would say there is no personalism.
The Taoist would say personalisms happen, so let it.
The Christian would feel guilty and repent for their own personalism.
The Muslim would notify a moderator, then protest the injustice.
The Hindu recognizes 12,000 incarnations of personalisms, so wouldn't be offended.
The Jew would send you a

Let's go Further shall we.
Ramana Maharshi would ask that we inquire about our personalism until it is illuminated.
Ram Dass would ask that we realize our personalism is just a role.
U. G. Krishnamurti says 'fuck you're personalism, it isn't real.'
Jiddu Krishnamurti says that personalisms are learned belief systems from the world.
Osho says that you should bring him another personalism, with another martini.
Alan Watts says that your personalisms aren't very funny, but he's got one that's hilarious.
Robert Anton Wilson says your personalism is controlled by the moderators.
Terence McKenna says your personalism can be extracted and smoked, then you become a moderator.
Aldous Huxley says your personalism is a linguistic construct that reflects your abstract model of reality.
Albert Hofmann says your personalism was completely an accident, and he needs to lay down.
Gordon Wasson says your personalism would be a great thing to show the West.
Timothy Leary says your personalism deserves to influence anyone and everyone, but only according to their will.
Joseph Campbell says your personalism is an inherited story, independent of the world.
Charles Bukowski says your personalism isn't an uproar, but rather a puny squeak from your tired soul.
Carl Jung says your personalism belongs within an archetypical category of insults, and is pre-existing on the Shroomery.
Sigmund Freud says that the content of your personalism is indicative of your emotional attachment to posting.
Dalai Lama says that personalisms are a impedance to your Shroomery rating and destroy compassion.
And Maher Baba... wouldn't say anything.
