In his groundbreaking work, A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle writes: "This is most people's reality: As soon as something is perceived, it is named...You do not awaken spiritually until the compulsive and unconscious naming ceases, or at least until you become aware of it..."
There's the good news: since it feels quite impossible to cease the naming we are given a workable alternative. Awareness.
And that's the key to it all: Awareness. Presence. Peace.
What about when Naming feels right?
It usually does, at least to the simple self. That part of us that is totally immersed in the simple forms of this world. The part of us which has a Name.
Is it any wonder that our Name-self loves to Name?
