Your Pain Body is very Seductive, www.soundstrue.com

ECKHART TOLLE'S teaching about the pain body is extremely interesting. I would like to find a piece in which he explains it from the basics. It's best to pick up a copy of "The Power of Now" to get a better understanding of it.
My imperfect explination is that by trying to avoid uncomfortable feelings and experiences in the present, the residue of this uncomfortable and incomplete moment is stored in a "mental-emotional-bodypattern" complex of memory. This residue he calls the pain body, and it can be triggered back into reaction by any similar experience.
It is then so easy to become identified with this body of pain (pain body) as a tragic heroic figure, and any re-exposure to a similar pain will reinforce the tragic-heroic identity that you are unconsciously nursing.
Of course all of this unconscious behavior is totally counter productive because it drives you further into the same equation. WOW!

The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form - Tolle
This would be like "coming home" to all that have experienced it - Simply beautiful

I meant that by calling a critic a "pain body" he is dehumanizing that person. As for my ideas, which ones should I drop? I go to a good bit of trouble to develop and refine my ideas, because I do safety-sensitive work and am accountable for developing ideas that have a strong basis.

username-Tolle's "pain body" isn't a person but the self-
centered reactive mechanism most of us deal with constantly.
If he used the term to describe a person, any person, it would indeed be dehumanizing and unacceptable.

username...the embarrasing dogma of the deceived in calling a discussioner and questioner a: "painbody"...is now the elite excuse(to denegrate) any and all persons willing to have looked thru the information and SEE the fibs and fairy tales of Eckhart...go to Stuhsie.wordpress and look thru the page by page errors of this false christs fake spiritual deception...Truth is out there NOW and its on the internet....that the cults get upset about INFORMATION shows you are on the RIGHT TRAIL!
Matthew 24:29-34
[T]he sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
.... and still they wait .. grow up people!!
