List Written & audio narrated by Eckhart Tolle - Unabridged Religion - 5 CASSETTES - 7.5 hours Publisher, New World Library (December 2001) "The author writes with compassion, not criticizing, blaming or ridiculing the reader. He makes enlightenment seem attainable and necessary for both individual peace and the health of the planet." --Foreword Magazine "If you are considering getting back in touch with your soul this book is a great companion....fresh, revealing, current, new inspiration." --Common Ground Magazine "The most powerful book I've ever read. This book has lightened my life in a way no other book has. It is not only the best book we've ever published (in my opinion), but the most powerful, life-changing book I've ever read. We first heard about the book from one of our distributors in Canada, Barbara Dempsey. She said it had become her single best-selling book--and she distributes books by Deepak Chopra, Shakti Gawain, and Louise Hay, among many others. The Power of Now had that elusive word-of-mouth quality that only a very few remarkable books have. I got a copy of the original edition, published only in Canada, and it had an instant impact on me. From the first page of his writing, it is clear that Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary master. He is not aligned with any particular religion or doctrine or guru; his teaching embraces the heart, the essence, of all other traditions, and contradicts none of them. He is able to do what all the great masters have done: to show us, in simple and clear language, that the way, the truth, and the light is within us. A state of enlightenment is attainable, here and now. It is possible to live free of suffering, free of anxiety and neurosis. To do this, we have to come to understand our role as creator of our pain -- our own mind, with its constant stream of thoughts, thinking about the past, worrying about the future, causes our problems, not other people, not "the world out there." We make the great mistake of identifying with our mind, thinking our thoughts and feelings are the sum total of who we are, when in fact we are far greater beings. Eckhart Tolle's words are far more clear and eloquent than mine. His book is a complete guide in meditation and realization. It is a book that many people, including me, will want to study for a lifetime. It has the power to change our lives, here and now, and to awaken us to fully realize that we are vast and eternal beings, far greater than we think we are." --Marc Allen, New World Library The Power of Now is a guide to spiritual awakening from a man who is emerging as one of this generation's clearest, most inspiring teachers on the subject. Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion but does what all the great masters have done: shows that the way, the truth, and the light already exist within each human being. There is no need to look elsewhere. At the heart of the book is Tolle's own story of early despair that culminated in a life-transforming experience of enlightenment at the age of 29. He emerged to share insights on the perils of the mind, the power of the present, and the accessibility of one's true nature. According to Tolle, "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." |
