"Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it." --Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle: The Easier Path
To the uninitiated, his persona -- a soft German-accented voice, his boyish visage, his love of vests -- doesn't exactly scream 'guru!' Yet Tolle is one of the world's most popular spiritual teachers and a literary powerhouse whose best-selling books 'The Power of Now' and 'A New Earth' have influenced millions. Born in Germany, educated at the universities of London and Cambridge, Tolle writes and lectures on the evolution of human consciousness. His work synthesizes many world views and spiritual teachings, including those of Buddhism, the New Testament, the Bhagavad Gita, and the German mystic Bo Yin Ra -- all delivered with wry, gentle insights. In this engaging interview, Tolle addresses complex topics with simplicity and grace, and brings clarity to the true importance of living in the present moment, and striving for balance within one's self.
BE THE CHANGE
When you find yourself in a situation that prompts your mind to engage in negativity, take that opportunity to practice 'observing presence.'
