Synopsis

Best-selling author and spiritual guide Eckhart Tolle led a remarkable two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland, a community on the leading edge of personal and global transformation. His weekend talks, captured on audio, create a deeply moving experience for listeners. Speaking on the subject of stillness, which he describes as a doorway into the Now and to true personal enlightenment, Tolle shows listeners how to find stillness in the present moment and enter a deeper dimension of peace and fulfillment. His practical, powerful tools for transformation offer the clear guidance needed to realize the magic of every moment and to reconnect to the sacredness of life and of being. Tolle’s lighthearted delivery lends sparkling highlights to the jewels of wisdom that he shares words that convey, with the timeless clarity of the ancient spiritual masters, a simple yet profound message of hope.

About this title

From AudioFile:

In previous audios, the author's serious and slow-moving lessons showed how being in the moment allows a connection with reality that is free from intellectual conventions, judgments, and restrictive characterizations. In this audio, Tolle says that conventional thoughts and worldly activities are "forms" that are useful in dealing with various elements of the real world but misleading when used to define ourselves. The highest value and most free expression of our unique selves can be found when we reject these forms as definitions of who we are. The author's profound spiritual wisdom and, in this recording, his endearing charm make his simple message arresting, enlightening, and potentially life-changing.

From Publishers Weekly:

Tolle is well known for his teachings on stillness and inner peace, including his bestseller The Power of Now; he's also known for Findhorn, a spiritual community and retreat center in Scotland. Listeners can experience Tolle and Findhorn themselves in this audio production, which includes four talks he gave during a two-day retreat. Each CD contains one hour-long talk and focuses on a different aspect of stillness and learning how to live in the moment. Tolle's charming delivery is gently humorous but also pointed in his instruction. It's a delight to hear the audience laughing in the background as he softly encourages attendees to grab hold of the magic of the moment. No table of contents is provided with the set, and while the packaging is compact and lovely, the CDs tend to fall out easily. But for Tolle's followers who can't make it to Findhorn, this is the next best thing. Listeners eager to learn more about Tolle's teaching will glean much. Simultaneous release with the New World Library hardcover and DVD set. (Jan.)
