Freedom from the World

Bridging the Dimensions of Form and Formlessness

De: Eckhart Tolle

Narrado por: Eckhart Tolle

Once there was a student who asked the master, "How can I become free of the world?" The reply: "Love the world and everything in it."

How do we handle this paradox? By allowing and accepting what is. This is the simple yet life-changing teaching Eckhart Tolle shares in Freedom from the World, a retreat with the best-selling author of The Power of Now.

Many people who have made it in the eyes of the world will be the first to tell you they're actually miserable, begins Eckhart. This is because our worldly possessions and accomplishments will bring only short-term fulfillment if our lives are not rooted in the unified, unmanifested source of life itself, or what Eckhart often calls "the formless dimension".

Join Eckhart for a nine-session exploration of how we each can become "a master of life" and an agent of transformation as we learn to be and act simultaneously in the material realm and the formless dimension. Topics include:

• Breaking the cycle of reincarnating thoughts
• Sense perceptions, the inner body, and on-the-spot inquiries that serve as "portals to presence"
• Simple practices to deepen your daily interactions with others

"You are a blessing on the planet when you are in touch with the spacious, formless dimension within yourself," explains Eckhart. Freedom from the World brings you his empowering teachings for bridging the dimensions of form and formlessness and living with renewed joy and peace and a sense of a meaningful purpose.

Please note: Due to the environment in which these talks were recorded, the listener may notice some extraneous noise or hiss. This should not significantly affect the overall delivery of Eckhart's teaching.

Simple Elegance

As with all Eckhart’s talks or books, the simple and revolutionary notion of surrender and allowing what is, is taught with humor grace and nuance. I find that the sound of his voice brings me into the now. That is a wonderful resource to have. Freedom from the World is worthy of the wonderful catalogue of “signposts” Mr.Tolle often points to as a metaphor for how words can help use glimpse the experience of deep indescribable truths.

Another gem from Eckhart

Almost magically, listening very quickly moves you from a place of self-inflicted discomfort to a higher place of peaceful observation of “what is”.
It makes it all a bit easier for those of us who find the path of inner peace sometimes (maybe often) illusive.
Thank you Eckhart.

best book ever ! outside of the power of now

if you listen. and don't understand. listen again. and again. until you do.

this book is energized with the saturation of presence. it's fantastic if you listen with not just he mind.

peace

Great Audible! Wonderful teaching!

I love this audible and I cannot stop myself to listen over and over again...
Gratitude Eckhart Tolle to share your gift with us.

Highly recommended

I'm now finishing it for the 2nd time, highly inspiring deep and relaxing and never gets old.

A profound journey - true to the title!

I loved this book and could not wait for my morning journey to work (an hour at least) to listen and contemplate Eckhart Tolle's simple wisdom on how to free ourselves from all we create both seen and unseen, and surrender to the present moment.
This book is for the true spiritual seeker, and vital for the busy western mind who needs to operate in this world, but also wants to know how to surrender into the silence within - to refresh ourselves at a deep and subtle level - to experience deep peace.
Eckardt Tolle finds many insightful ways to explain this concept of freedom from the world, as the western mind has been conditioned for busy-ness, anxiety, fear and therefore needs to be reminded of the same simple truth in many different ways.
This has been a profound spiritual journey with Eckardt Tolle. So grateful I chose it!

Divine Emanations

I love listening to his talks. Always so inspiring, such depth in his voice, no matter the words. I get IT so easily just BEing in presence while he talks.

Nothingness

So wonderful bliss
Inside it lies already awake. Awaiting the end of all recorded time

Always Phenomenal

I learn priceless bits of wisdom from every work. I have never been disappointed with Eckhart Tolle.

Thinking differently out loud

I personally did not find this tangential, as another reviewer wrote, in fact I found it absolutely gorgeous. Just put in a pair of headphones while you’re walking or up in the morning and it’s like a little mini re-wire.
I do get it regarding another recorded retreat
I tried to listen to, which was hard for me to the point where I had to delete it (twice) because there was just too much giggling about negative examples of getting caught in your thoughts, almost constantly— I tried to wait for the lessons but I felt like you would have to be there for some of these recordings to make sense, or resonate really. That one was stressful for me to listen to, with all of the examples of how not to think, unfortunately. But that’s just my learning style, I still feel a student to him.
This one though, doesn't do that, not for me anyway, and I feel sensitive to that.
THIS particular retreat recording is helping a lot, even as much as his books, and like I said, is just beautiful. His lectures can be silly, which I like sometimes, but this one is excellent for audio for me.
