Overview

Bestselling author Eckhart Tolle has captivated nearly a million readers with his lessons on discovering the profound state of being he calls "presence". On Entering the Now, an all-new title in the "Power of Now" teaching series, this remarkable speaker shares practices and insights to take listeners into "the timeless dimension"—a luminous place found only in this very moment that transcends the struggles and anxiety of our busy lives.
A walk in nature. A personal crisis. A moment of laughter. These can all serve as "portals" that lead us to the depth and wonder of the Now. In two compelling sessions, Eckhart Tolle guides listeners past the obstacles that keep us trapped in longing and unhappiness, and reveals the keys to experiencing what it really means to be alive. With easy-to-follow instruction and his one-of-a-kind teaching style, he shows listeners: the peace that unfolds when we "say yes to what is", how to use sense perceptions and the "inner body" to find a happiness independent of conditions, and how to step out of the constant stream of thought and open to authentic creativity, and much more.

A Waste of Time

HOW did he GET famous? Everything he said was a very commonly known "truth" - nothing new. The delivery was monotnous and slow- interspersed with laughter that was identical to that of Bevis (of the greater philosophers Bevis & Butthead). Then I thought, wait- the "GOOD PART" is probably "coming"...but it never came. Then I considered, maybe I am not "enlightened" and therefore I dont see the Bevis-laughter-humor in the dull little comments that OBVIOUSLY were perceived as humor- because the speaker laughed... heh heh heh and then the audience laughed a "knowing" laugh -as if they had some secret to the universe that the rest of us mortals didnt understand. Uh- I understood..it was old news that wasnt even cutting edge 50 years ago. Some things - you just KNOW on your deathbed you will think - I wasted a couple of hours of my life listening to that trite old-hat audio.....arrgg.g.h.h.h.h it wasnt worth my life-hours at all!
