Just Getting Started with
Eckhart Tolle Teachings!
Have you read one of Eckhart Tolle's books, or, perhaps, participated in Oprah's
10-week online webcast of A NEW EARTH? Are you ready to integrate these
teachings into your life … to discover the freedom and joy of living "IN THE NOW"
and to enhance your understanding that this is the key to ending conflict and
suffering in the your life and in the world? There's no need to "go it alone" with
all the resources available today.
Eckhart Tolle speaks in all his books to living life from Being which is an evolution
of the the way most of us currently experience Consciousness today. We live in
the survival mode which has insured survival of the human species on the physical
level, but we now feel the evolutionary pull of Consciousness taking us even fuller
into who we really are as Conscious Beings here on earth. Living from Being
is a whole new experience of life that transcends suffering, pain, arguments and
power games.
In his book, Practicing the Power of Now, Eckhart explains it like this: "Having gone
beyond the mind-made opposites, you become like a deep lake. The outer situation
of your life, whatever happens there, is the surface of the lake. Sometimes calm,
sometimes windy and rough, according to the cycles and seasons. Deep down,
however, the lake is always undisturbed. You are the whole lake, not just the surface,
and you are in touch with your own depth, which remains absolutely still."
He goes on to say: "You don't resist change by mentally clinging to any situation.
Your inner peace does not depend on it. You abide in Being -- unchanging, timeless,
deathless -- and you are no longer dependent for fulfillment or happiness on the outer
world of fluctuating forms. You can enjoy them, play with them, create new forms,
appreciate the beauty of it all. But there will be no need to attach yourself to any of it."
"As long as you are unaware of Being, the reality of other humans will elude you,
because you have not found your own. Your mind will like or dislike their form, which
is not just their body but includes their mind as well. True relationships become
possible only when there is an awareness of Being."
"Coming from Being, you will perceive another person's body and mind as just a
screen, as it were, behind which you can feel their true reality, as you feel yours.
So, when confronted with someone else's surffering or unconscious behavior, you
stay present and in touch with Being and are thus able to look beyond the form and
feel the other person's radiant and pure Being through your own."
At the level of Being, all suffering is recognized as an illusion. Suffering is due to
identification with form. Miracles of healing sometimes occur through this realization,
by awakening Being-consciousness in others -- if they are ready."
