Hallway-2-4 The essence of Eckhart Tollle's message is easy to grasp: If we connect to the stillness within, we move beyond our active minds and emotions and discover great depths of lasting peace, contentment, and serenity. With his bestselling first book, The power of Now, his message has reached millions of people worldwide. Now, in his much anticipated new book, Tolle gives us the essence of his teaching in short, simple pieces that anyone can easily understand. Stillness Speaks is organized into ten chapters whose subjects range from 'Beyond the Thinking Mind' to ' Suffering and the End of Suffering.' Each chapter is a mosaic of individual entries, concise and complete in themselves, but profoundly transformative when read as a whole. Eckhart Tolle understands the spiritual neeeds of our time. He draws from the essence of all spirital traditions, expressing these truths in startling fresh new ways. The result is a book that is paradoxically both ancient and contemporary, filled with timely and powerful messages. Stillness Speaks can be no less than an awakening for readers willing to give the words a chance to work their quiet magic. Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his writing and seminars, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: there is a way out of suffering and into peace. Eckhart travels extensively, taking his teachings throughout the world. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. 'This book of course, uses words which in the act of reading become thoughts in our mind. But those are not ordinary thoughts-repetitive, noisy, self-serving, clamoring for attention....The thoughts within this book don't say, 'Look at me,' but 'Look beyond me.' Because the thoughts came out of stillness, they have power-the power to take you back into the same stillness from which they arose. That stillness is also inner peace, and that stillness and peace is the essence of your Being. It is the stillness that will save and transform the world.'-From the Introduction by Eckhart Tolle Contents Introductin Chapter 1 Silence & stillness Chapter 2 Beyond the thinking mind Chapter 3 The egoic self Chapter 4 The now Chapter 5 Who you truly are Chapter 6 Acceptance & surrender Chapter 7 Nature Chapter 8 Relationships Chapter 9 Death & the eternal Chapter 10 Suffering & the end of suffering About the author no reviews | add a review
