To be human is to suffer - and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening. In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body" - all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth - by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence.

When challenges arise in your life, what happens inside of you? For many of us, the larger the problem, the more we resist, contract, and react unconsciously. On the other hand, explains Eckhart Tolle, in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is, and experience the natural sense of peace and aliveness that he calls "the joy of being".

Underneath everything you think and do, there is a stillness that is both vast and alive. This is who you are in your most essential nature—but once you’ve caught a glimpse, how do you integrate this discovery into daily living? This is the question Eckhart Tolle explores with you in Bringing Stillness into Everyday Life.
Acknowledging the struggles and dissatisfaction that so many people deem part of a “normal” existence, Eckhart points to a new way of being in the world that starts when we drop below the “top floor of the mind” and return to our true home in the timeless present.

When you realize that it’s unnecessary to think all the time, something miraculous happens: who you are beyond the self-image in your head begins to emerge. Join Eckhart Tolle in The Secret of Self-Realization for an intensive two-session program pointing us toward the firsthand experience of our essential nature beyond the mind. After years of anxiety and depression, how was it that Eckhart came to suddenly realize a vastness of peace and inner freedom? Through the cessation of the thinking that was creating all of the drama in the first place, Eckhart discovered a sense of identity beyond “the little me.” The Secret of Self-Realization invites you to transcend the frustration and dissatisfaction of a thought-based life to experience the liberation that unfolds when the dimension of “being” takes precedence.

Why do our negative experiences seem to stay with us so persistently? It is because they are the fuel for what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain-body, an energetic field that actually feeds on toxic thoughts and emotions. Liberation from the pain-body is not about repressing or denying our thoughts. Instead, as Eckhart's teaching partner Kim Eng reveals, we must develop a complete receptiveness to all experience-rejecting nothing, judging nothing, and resisting nothing.

If you go about your day trapped in the realm of thinking, it's difficult, if not impossible, to free yourself from stress and anxiety - and the interpersonal suffering that goes along with it.

Publisher's Summary
What is time? We give it so much importance, but as Eckhart Tolle teaches, we can only ever experience the timeless present. The Illusion of Time explores this paradox, pointing the way out of a dysfunctional relationship to time—and into the fullness of life in the here and now.
In this empowering two-session program, Eckhart exposes the roots of our obsession with time to help us free ourselves from the ongoing stream of thoughts about the past and future—and reconnect with the depths of who we are beyond the mind. Discover:
- Eckhart’s secret for less stress and greater productivity.
- How to get past the nagging sense that “something’s missing.”
- The source of insight and wisdom greater than our intellect.
- How to realign—with nature, life, and what is.
“This moment is life—whether I’m warm and dry or if it’s raining and I can’t find a taxi,” says Eckhart. The Illusion of Time brings you his practical guidance in embracing the present—and awakening to who we are in our eternal, essential nature.

Lose time!
If you could sum up The Illusion of Time in three words, what would they be?
Let go of time!
What about the narrator’s performance did you like?
Puts everything into perspective and it is the same subject matter and he even tells you that it is a repeat of everything he has been teaching but if you can get it on this dvd then get it! It took me listening to the Power Of Now, New earth, several of his retreats and other downloadable books. saw tons of you tube videos. but when I got the practicing the power of now is when it all came to light! BAM awakened. It is still a process and I know this but I have made more success in one week than my entire 49 years! Praise God!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had many extreme meditation experiences just even listening to his books.
Any additional comments?
buy Power of now,the practicing the Power of now those two will change your life, if you let it!

His thoughts seem so random but that is only because he is speaking from his heart; not his head. He communicates from the authenticity of who he is. At times he is hilariously funny and tremendously entertaining.

Liberating
Loved it! There's freedom when you finally understand the reality of the concepts of space and time, the way we relate to it currently, and the liberation you begin to experience. The essence and awareness of who you are from the restrictions of thought forms that make up our life journey each moment. It helps one to embrace real life as we experience it in the Now.

To many pauses and no speaking
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better selection of his books
Would you ever listen to anything by Eckhart Tolle again?
Yes and still do. This one is not very good at all.
Would you be willing to try another one of Eckhart Tolle’s performances?
If I can exchange for this one since I won't be listening to it.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Illusion of Time?
All the silence in between and the laughter from audience
Any additional comments?
Would really like to exchange

Eckhart Tolle in his own voice: magnificent
Would you consider the audio edition of The Illusion of Time to be better than the print version?
Yes because you can hear it in his voice and the content is brilliant when expressed this way.
What did you like best about this story?
The fundamental idea of what time means in daily life
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The beginning. It's surprising! New Yorkers beware ;)
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh several times when Eckhart used his wit to tell a joke.
