In <em >The Power of Now</em>, Tolle describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. He took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical. Here he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully, and intensely, in the Now."</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-27"><div class="form-item"> <label>Depth:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-33"><div class="form-item"> <label>Tone:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-34"><div class="form-item"> <label>Openness:</label><br /> 2 </div> </div></div> Books Core Bookshelf Eckhart Tolle Higher Consciousness Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:34:25 -0500
