The Power of Now

Posted on by

Eckhart Tolle s message is simple living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle s clear writing, supportive voice and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who s ever wondered what exactly living in the now means Foremost, Tolle is a world class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence and the cycle of life Thankfully, he s added markers that symbolise break time This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read As a

catalog of our school library here in the Philippines I found it available for borrowing So I immediately read it in the course of five days After reading it the first time I understood its message

mindfulness, meditation practices and I try to make use of what I read in my everyday life So, of course, I was looking forward to this book, especially as it was recommended to me by people whose opinion I value.And my oh my, wasn t it total deception I made it until about half of the book when I realized I really could take no First of all, I must say I m very much into all kinds of self help

bookshelf is a review of Tolle s THE NEW EARTH I read it because of the recommendation from Oprah In that review I said he used 300 pages to say what he could have said in a 10 page essay I read this

may have in the moment actually reflects a resistance to the present moment a refusal to accept the here and now which is the only reality.Previous to this, I had thought that negativity simply is and therefore should simply be noticed and accepted as part of the current reality, and not struggled against.True, negativity shouldn t be railed at nor struggled against but should instead be simply noticed However, noti Upon 2nd reading of this book, I realized that any form of negativity I may have in the moment actually reflects a resistance to the present moment a refusal to accept the

glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, i loved this book so much i ll probably re...I passed this book dozens of times in my yoga studio back in 2003 It was so popular and its praises so well sung by my yoga teacher, Steve Ross, that I thought it must be a bunch of new age mumbo jumbo I didn t want to read it because I thought that it would entail jumping on some Los Angeles hippy bandwagon I opened myself up to Eckhart Tolle after watching him on Oprah s Spirit Channel and I m so glad that I did This book is really great It contains such simple philosophy that is so hard I passed this.... 200 200
