Story
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.

Forgiveness Is Freeing brings together Eckhart’s essential talks about shifting to a deeper perception of the self and how it frees us of our suffering. In these insightful lectures - including many simple practices - he shows us how our grievances are reactions to the artificial egos of others, how to bring nonjudgment and equanimity when others overstep our boundaries, how to forgive our own “past selves”, and what to do when the pain of our memories hijacks our emotions.

We tend to think of meditation as a formal practice we block time out for each day. But what if every moment of your life was your meditation? For Eckhart Tolle, meditation shouldn't be approached as a chore or a means to an end. Rather, meditation is something that you live. "The aim of meditation," states Eckhart, "is that it eventually becomes your normal state of consciousness." Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle points the way toward this quiet, constant state of Presence - where practice gives way to the realization of your innermost identity.

The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now" The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within.

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".

Thumbs up from Eckhart newbie

Publisher's Summary
When we resist the present moment, we close the door to happiness. But when we align with what is, we access the source of lasting peace and contentment. On The Secret of Happiness, Eckhart Tolle invites you to experience how your sense of joy and fulfillment radically changes through the awakening of consciousness and the realization of who you are beyond the content of your thoughts.
Eckhart begins by pointing out the dissatisfaction inherent in the life of "the little me" - or the thought-based sense of self for whom restlessness and anxiety rule the day. Our task, he explains, is to discover our "formless" identity - our essence beyond the personality and the relative concerns of a worldly life. Join Eckhart as he discusses:
- Unconditional friendship with the form this moment takes
- The transformational power of surrender
- Practical ways to bring in "space consciousness" for creativity and balance in the things you do
"The present moment is a portal out of suffering and into something much deeper than any concept of happiness," teaches Eckhart. Here is your opportunity to make this liberating shift, with The Secret of Happiness.

ECKHART’s Best Live Lecture
I’ve listened to just about everything ECKHART Tolle has on Audible. While this particular recording is short in length, don’t take that to mean it is not powerful. In fact, this specific lecture series, in my humble opinion, may be one of his most powerful and transformative recordings to date. The lessons ring with deep truth. Hopes this helps you as much as it did me. Good luck on your path. May all beings be happy :)

Tolle states that the world is starting to awaken to what some would refer to as oneness with God. He says happiness is a term that is too simplistic for the bliss or quiet joy one experiences. It appears this is true.

Transcendant
A beautiful view into the world of stillness within by tranacensing form. Going beyond thought and form to discover transcendance, a place where the external does not determine the internal rather you become an observer of it and you chose how you react. This has been an essential addition to my journey, powerful concepts all leading toward purpose, which transcends our egoic needs and conatructs. It is, therefore observe without form and allow it to be. Bravo.

A clear continuation to "The Power of Now"
Eckhart Tolle delivers a funny and interesting continuation of how to be in the now by accepting life as it is, and flow with it rather than offer resistance or try to explain it with the mind labelling. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone living in the modern world trapped in form and the mechanic responses of our brain. Thanks Eckhart!
