Highly recommended book by Eckhart Tolle...
'Thinking too much' as I put it has always been a big problem of mine I think and a bearer of significant stress, which may have been an element in my dis-ease
''(Love and Joy) are inseparable from your natural state of inner connectedness with Being. Glimpses of love and joy or brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought. For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accodentally, in moments when the mind is rendered ''speechless'', sometimes triggered by great beauty, extreme physical exertion, or even great danger. Suddenly there is inner stillness. And within that stillness there is a subtle but intense joy, ther is love, there is peace.
Usually such moments are short-lived, as the mind quickly resumes its noise-making acticity which we call thinking. Love joy and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance. But they are not what I would call emotions. They lie beyond the emotions on a much deeper level. So you need to become fully conscious of your emotions and be able to feel them before you can feel that which lies beyond them. Emotion literally means ''disturbance''. The word comes from the Latin emovere, meaniong ''to disturb''.
