Publisher's summary

This series represents an opportunity to participate in a one week retreat with Eckhart and so to go deeper into stillness - becoming one with who you are in the depth of your Being. A certain degree of spiritual maturity, however, is required of anyone wishing to participate fully in this retreat series.

What is spiritual maturity? You know the meaning of presence, not as a concept, but as a living reality. The retreat will help you to enter that dimension more deeply, to always know yourself as consciousness (rather than “this” or “that”), and to manifest this realization - your true purpose - in your daily life.

  • Lesson 3: Do you know Who You Are? (1hr. 32 min.)
  • Lesson 4: The Power of Life (1hr. 36 min.)

Randomly Insightful

Very refreshing! As he always does, Eckhart takes me from the complex to simplicity. The past and future are nothing but illusions.

SPACIOUS STILLNESS

The way i treat myself reflects in the way I treat others. When I treat myself with respect and dignity, it will be reflected in the way I treat others. When I treat myself with disdain and contempt, it reflects in the way I treat others. I do not see the world as it is, I see the world as i see myself.Kevin Hall

If your ready to see what your not and rediscover who you are, then this is the place to start. Becoming an OBSERVER of the human mind ( the place where madness of man dwells) you no longer actively participate as a PAIN-BODY. If your tired of SEARCHING and need a tool to SHOW you how to LOOK for what you( I) are missing, then this is the place to start. Because if you read this review then it means that your looking for MEANING for SOMETHING. SO IF YOUR READY TO OPEN THE DOOR AND WALK THROUGH, ACTIVELY HEAR AND LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!

Wisdom

This book is for anyone who wants pr needs some. There are so many ways of explaining reality that it's hard to get it wrong. And yet, so many of us struggle to find an explanation that speaks to us. Speaking means to transform the agitated fighting to understand into the calm surrender of knowing.

Eckhart Tolle speaks to me.

Very Informational

I have read and listened to Eckhart Tolle over the years. The addition of the song at the beginning and end of each chapter was calming and helped me to understand more clearly what was being conveyed. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a better understanding of who the person really is and what one's potential truly is.
