Oprah Winfrey´s Soul Series with Eckhart Tolle (part 1)

The author of the best-selling The Power of Now and A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle has dedicated much of his life to teaching others how to live in the present moment. His message has reached millions who are looking to transform their lives and evolve to a higher consciousness.

Born in Germany in 1948, Eckhart was educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. Eckhart says he suffered from bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts until he experienced a profound inner transformation at age 29. During this transformation, Eckhart says he became aware that his feelings of sadness, dread and fear were all part of his ego. One morning, he awoke to find that his ego had dissolved and life was fresh and beautiful and his mind free of constant mental chatter.

Armed with this new perspective on life, Eckhart began teaching spiritual workshops to small groups of people, and in 1999, he published The Power of Now to international acclaim. In 2005, he published A New Earth, and in 2008, it became an Oprah's Book Club pick and the basis of an exclusive online webcast hosted by himself and Oprah. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists of transcending our ego-based state of consciousness.

Eckhart is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, but he draws from many to covey his teachings. Through his writings and seminars, Eckhart has inspired people around the world to transform their lives, achieve personal happiness and contribute to the ending of violent conflict on our planet.

yeah, of course. You can sometimes even see his horns if you look carefully...

@pvn2474 Releasing thought brings you closer to reality. He is not saying stop thinking in general, but relaxing the brain to a meditative state. That doesn't mean "you should walk around like a clueless dog". It's an amazing feeling that very few will achieve.

There will be those who will go kicking and screaming and those who will go with the flow. The ego dominates the kicking and screaming folk. You choose.

@b4dLeroyBrown Ohh yes, he does!!

@toyouiwill

how many have been able to touch lives with such effectiveness and to sooo many - that puts him a cut above just being some regular guy -- though he is "just a guy" - give him his due - he is an amazingly effective teacher

"if you give up thought you die, physically" what nonsense! those that do get it are more peaceful as a result

[pvn2474]

Tolle is a liar. In the presence, there is no movement. Our daily life is movement. If you give up thought, you die, physically. Also, he does not explain the difference between thought in the brain and our surrounding sense objects, and he does not explain the difference between biological and non-biological life. A stone is not suffering. But in biological life the pain starts. The gurus never explains the important things. And they contradict themselves. I am sick and tired of them.

Eckhart and Oprah are both powerful entities who are bringing truth and light to this world. If you do not agree, just get out of the way.
