Summary

To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect.

Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language in a question and answer format. The words themselves are the signposts to guide you on your journey. There are new discoveries to be made along the way: you are not your mind, you can find your way out of psychological pain, authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. When you become fully present and accepting of what is, you open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.

The only book you need to bring about spiritual transformation

I have both read and listened to this book multiple times. There is something both incredibly simple and deeply profound in Eckhart’s words and teachings. If you haven’t already you should absolutely get this book - liberation from suffering and spiritual transformation await within its pages.

Mind blowing.

There are just a handful of books out there which can change someone's life to the core in a way that leaves the reader grateful. This is one of them.

THE SILENT WATCHER - NOW

reading and studying spiritual guidance over the years has taught me that this book by Echart Tolle is a masterpiece the context of the book encompasses the full essence to understand the human mind and spiritual existence and the physical body.

Echart Tolle shows you the world, our daily possible madness in simpler terms, the book brings consciousness to the fore, enables you see clearly, takes away from the fog, shows you the illusory life, brings realty to the fore, his work here is powerful. beyond name and form. to make you free, from illusion of self, the core error, from Fear, Your constant mentor. The infliction you place on yourself.

This book could have been written specifically about me, yet Echart does not know me, the content is perfect, Eckhart describes and illustrates the information you want to know, yet you have little or no idea how to achieve it. like what is the way out of the nightmare you are experiencing in your head, you know you are being held by rumination, based on past events or extreme worries of the future, time held mind games drive you to unhappiness that hold you, The Egoic mind, why? you are stuck.

The book teaches you how to become conscious, to be present, to gain consciousness, a powerful awareness that will help you to enjoy life NOW!

Echart to me is a true master, like he has totally mastered the true essence of the human psychic and has the knowledge of pretty much all other spiritual teachings I have read, the book is excellently put together, a third person questioning is incorporated, I enjoyed this dimension to the book, pretty much the questions are the ones you ask yourself when you read the book.

Anyone reading this book if anything like me, would benefit to read it and read it and read it over and over again, well that's my success, listening to words of wisdom need to be told to me every day at the very least, more often even better.

I see that most spiritual teachings have a daily routine to keep us on track.

Life (situation) changing!

To say this book has opened my eyes would be an understatement and a metaphor at the same time.

My enlightenment journey has been a relatively short one, albeit, one that I plan to live by and stay on for the rest of my days.

Things used to be very different for myself. Through pain and endless sorrow came about a life I longed to escape from.

I now know that to escape from what I believed was apart of who I was, is complete nonsense. Instead, accepting what is and surrendering to resistance has allowed me to love myself again.

It has allowed me to accept the past and embrace the future, instead of feeling bitter about the past, placing blame on anything and everything now and fearing the future.

Beyond this, it has allowed me to see the truth and be at complete peace with myself and the world. Something I never believed could be possible until I reached a certain point in my life but there is no certain point to reach, I am already there. I am already everything I need to be, I always have been and I always will be, all thanks to this book for helping me understand this devine truth.

Thank you Eckhart
