The Realization of Being: A Guide to Experiencing Your True Identity

... Show More
With his first international bestseller, The Power of Now , Eckhart Tolle introduced a simple and profound view of enlightenment, inviting seekers of every faith, age, and culture to enjoy the fullness of life through living in the present moment. Now this unique voice in contemporary spirituality explores our highest purpose in life and how meditation can help us attain it with The Realization of Being .

Words are useful signposts, Eckhart begins, but our main spiritual teacher is stillness. This powerful energy field is always available to us through meditation. In simple language, he explains how to listen with your entire body while working with the body, mind, and attention in order to merge with this moment. As we go beyond the need for thought, he teaches, we achieve the meditative state of no mind or presence that is effortless, joyful, and natural. Through this timeless path we merge with the universal purpose, and become a divine presence.

A revolution in human consciousness has already started, teaches Eckhart Tolle. We can advance this revolution now with the help of The Realization of Being .

great reminders. have read it a couple of times. the art of letting go and being in the Now... paying attention to the process of how the Ego LOVES to attach itself just about to any thought that moves. grateful for Eckhart and the inherent wisdom he imparts. highly recommend this to anyone interested in freeing themselves from the confines of the thinking mind!

I didn't connect with this teaching as much as I have with his others. I especially struggled with "The Silence as Teacher" portion but I guess that was his point. I always learn something fresh and new listening to Tolle though. Certainly worth experiencing if you haven't listened to it, but I would start with his "Power of Now."

Let the temple of your being be utterly empty. That is the state of “not to be.” And you will be surprised… here you are trying “not to be,” and from the back door comes a new realization of being, of “to be.” But your effort should not be based in this order – first to be and then not to be. That is against the natural process of enlightenment. You have to attain nothingness first, nobodiness first. This is the price you have to pay for attaining to the experience of authentic being. This is the sacrifice you have to make.

This is what Jesus means when he says, “Unless you are born again, you will not enter into the kingdom of God.” What does he mean when he says, “Unless you are born again. ” He means, first you have to die, and after death is resurrection.

A book that brings you into a higher consciousness of words and shifting you to that very space of consciousness. Everything inside shifts when reading this book. It's language transcends language into sheer spaciousness of being.
