In Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental
elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by
drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of this work is what
the author calls "the state of presence," a living in the "now" that is
both intensely inspirational and practical. When the pressures of future
and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered
by the moment. Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual
entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from "Beyond the
Thinking Mind" to "Suffering and the End of Suffering." Whether listened
to individually or in topic clusters, these entries take on a rare
transformative power.
This collection also includes a remarkable audio program recorded at a
two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland--a community on the leading edge
of personal and global transformation. Eckhart Tolle's talks, 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.
