Thinking Folly?

~THINKING FOLLY~

From the excerpt entitle as Thinking Folly by Eckhart Tollle is told about the thinking process towards people in life. The famous and well known book by Eckhart is " The Power Of Now". He is one of thinker that assumed people actually do not thinking for make a benefits but the minds that are actually possessed people. 
Echart Tolle's occupation is as a writer or public speaker and he was experienced as contemporaneous spiritual teacher and he is the person that who is not aligned with any particular religion or traditions. Eckhrat Tolle was born on 1948 at Lunen Germany. 
After i have read the excerpt i can conclude that the author tries to conveys the message that thinking process is  one of important part that can shape or represents people itself. In my opinion, Eckhart come up with the statement or philosophy just because affected by his background. For example, according to www.wikipedia.org. his childhood time was unhappy, particularly his early childhood in Germany. After that, his parents fought and eventually separated, and he felt alienated from a hostile school environment. Eckhart also experienced during World War Two that can lead his depressed by his experienced and lead him to thinking for a lot and come up with the relevant philosopher about people's life. Although Eckhart was experienced many hardship in his life, he still can survive his life just because he thinking for the best for himself and tries o make a transformation in his life not immitate from his track record. 
According to the excerpt by Eckhart Tolle, mind is essentially a survival machine that attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing and analyzing information but after all that good things that minds can act, not all of the results are creative. He also stated that thinking process creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgement and definitions that blocks all true relationship. From what has been stated by Eckhart Tolle, he wants to let people know that all the things that happened to any people are based from how and what the people thinking for themselves. 
Afterward, thinking also has been defined as a disease by the author just because it is not so much that people use the mind wrongly but people are actually do not use the mind at all. The reality is people are act like a slave that follow the mind thinking. It is meaning by the possesses. 
As a conclusion people are need to use their mind to think wisely and try to transform from worse to better. Do not let your mind possessed yourself and controlled it with a good thinking.
