It’s an attempt to use the internet more to teach spirituality and the growth of consciousness. -> Take a Look at Eckhart Tolle TV.

08.27.08Personal Power vs. The Power of Now (Mind vs. Spirit) ?Photo courtesy of ellenkabellen "You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj I recently discovered the posting from MonkMojo called The Tony Robbins vs Eckhart Tolle Debate in which he shows Tony Robbins shouting "Feel my Personal Power" opposed to Eckhart Tolle answering calmly with "I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" … While this is kinda funny, it brings a typical debate to the surface: Do we become happy by fulfilling our deepest dreams and by being the best version of us ...

07.28.08Surrender: Bringing the Yes into the No – a Talk about Awakening with Eckhart TolleThe meaning of surrender in a spiritual sense is quite different from the meaning that the word has in the news. There is no giving up, there is saying Yes to a situation, an acceptance. It is bringing the Yes into the No. There are only a view videos of Eckhart Tolle (Auhor of The Power of Now) freely available. Those below are really good, maybe you already know them if you follow spirituality or Eckhart Tolle. In this little series Eckhart is starting with a description of what Awakening is, talks about the difference between consciousness and the content of ...

07.08.08“The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle Excerpt: Chapter 1 “You Are Not Your Mind”The Power of Now is one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. The following is an excerpt of the complete first chapter called "You are not your Mind". Chapter 1 "You are not your mind" is definitely the entry point for raising your awareness to see, that identification of your self with the thoughts and emotions you have is a core error. If you become able to be the watcher of thoughts, instead of identifying with thoughts, you move to be able to free yourself from one of the greatest sources of suffering and open the door to ...

07.04.08A Practical Approach to Spirituality"I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten." - Eckhart Tolle For most of the readers here, the topic of spirituality may be a very fuzzy and unknown place. “What’s the use of it? What can I do with this? Why should I even bother?” I hear you asking. And the strange thing is, although this is not the best question to ask, I will try to answer it. I will try to give an entry point for everybody who is not (yet) ...
