Product Description
Best-selling author and spiritual guide Eckhart Tolle led a remarkable two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland, a community on the leading edge of personal and global transformation. His weekend talks, captured on audio, create a deeply moving experience for listeners. Speaking on the subject of stillness, which he describes as a doorway into the Now and to true personal enlightenment, Tolle shows listeners how to find stillness in the present moment and enter a deeper dimension of peace and fulfillment. His practical, powerful tools for transformation offer the clear guidance needed to realize the magic of every moment and to reconnect to the sacredness of life and of being. Tolle’s lighthearted delivery lends sparkling highlights to the jewels of wisdom that he shares — words that convey, with the timeless clarity of the ancient spiritual masters, a simple yet profound message of hope.

If you loved 'The Power of Now' you will be blown away with the clarity and depth of this talk. Eckhart is one of the most important spiritual teachers alive and this CD set is one of his best talks. Highly Recommended to all who are ready to hear the truth and experience deep stillness and presence. Thank you Eckhart for this gift ~ the planet is in dire need of this message!
wonderful Eckhart recording February 19, 2006

This is a very worthwhile recording to listen to. Over the first three discs Mr. Tolle talks about the usual stuff, like the structure of ego and various ego traps you can fall into, how life reduces you in form and accepting that, the now, space consciousness, etc. but as always, does so in a fresh and new way. The fourth disc is an audience q&a with questions about presence and humor, and whether a fool can become enlightened. He refers to Forrest Gump as an example of this. I have experienced all his books and a lot of his audio, so I have heard/read all aspects of his teaching many times over but still, there is a quality that he brings that I never get tired of hearing... ok, the recording. I have not listened to it enough times yet to give an in depth review (i wanted to hurry and put a positive one out fast, and then edit the review after I've had time to go over it) but I will say that it is great, and contains perhaps the most funny moments of any talk I have yet heard.
Just so you know, this is not published by Sounds True like all the rest and the format is a little different... a man introduces him and there is no tracklisting whatsoever.
And lastly, for four discs at about an hour each, this is the best deal you could possibly find (thanks amazon!)... skip "realizing the power of now" and get this.

The sound quality is excellent unlike some of the Tolle recordings put out by Sounds True. An extremely well balanced presentation of Eckhart's thoughts with lots of integrated humor. Highly recommended
Formless Brilliance June 26, 2007

I read a brilliant book called "Be Here Now" by Richard Alpert aka Baba Ram Dass 35 years ago. I took up TM for several years after that experience.
Those phenomenon allowed me to quiet my mind, live in the present and do things I imagined I could do, but could not have done otherwise. I got into and graduated from medical school (I am from a blue collar family), while going through a divorce. They put me into a place where I was able to woo and marry a special woman. Then I fell deeply into form, materialism, egoism while anguishing about the past as I awaited the future rewards I felt I richly deserved. Over these last 25 years my life completely unravelled. I became a bitter, angry, pain-ridden shell. Big house, fancy cars, world travel and a quickening descent into hell. (I even got a law degree. Maybe I could defend my-self). Nothing worked.
Until Eckhart emerged from obscurity (part of his story) into my story. Suddenly senselessness made sense. The past and the future began to shrink into, simply, now. Now I am so alive, full of joy, without being full of me. I work in a maximum security prison as a psychiatrist, the only death chamber in Florida is 200 yards from my office. The staff, the prisoners, the outside visitors see this place as a place of sadness and despair. Thanks to the universal channel that Eckhart has tuned me into, there is a little smile on my face every moment I am there. Amazingly, everyone around has begun to smile, every now and then. Not because of the little me, but because of what is flowing through me. What is flowing through me? The beauty and goodness and love that exists inside of them. They don't know that is where my smile is coming from. I hope and pray they discover that.
Thank you Eckhart for suffering so much, so you could bring me into the present, into the now, to feel the stillness in the midst of chaos.
Clear pointing to Stillness March 3, 2006
31 out of 32 found this review helpful
After reading Stillness Speaks and falling in love with Eckhart's 'teaching' I purchased Even the Sun Will Die which led me to purchase this CD series. Eckhart points so clearly to That which is always present that we are all aware of, but just overlook when we are so identified with the busyness of the mind. This cd series stops my mind with each sentence and allows me to see the mind's movement so that I become more aware of when I have identified with thoughts or feelings as who I am.
He brings humor to identification allowing oneself to see the ridiculousness of believing oneself to be anything other than who we truly are.
I also enjoy listening to Gangaji and Eli Jaxon-Bear, as they, and Eckhart, have found a true way of pointing others back to who they really are.
If you listen to this CD series and pass it off as another teaching or 'that is too simple to be it', than you've missed the opportunity this CD has to offer and should question your own willingness in stopping rather than whether the author is 'doing it right or not'. Everything is a reflection of one's self. The entire world supports your awakening. Listen deeply to what Eckhart points to and you will immediately receive the nectar of Life that is always here.
