Eckhart Tolle (Author)

Book Description

Series: Teaching the Power of Now Series | Publication Date: July 1, 2002

An historic meeting with this leading new voice in contemporary spirituality

When Eckhart Tolle agreed to be interviewed on September 11, 2001, he could not foresee the historic nature of this date or the suffering that would follow. As the day’s events unfolded, in real time, he responded with a calm and clear voice, helping to make sense out of the fear and chaos that will forever define this date. "Even the Sun Will Die" documents this historic meeting with Eckhart Tolle and the comforting wisdom he revealed that day.

We live in a time, he says, when we define ourselves through our enemies; and science and technology are in the service of human madness. Yet even in the face of disaster, a miracle happens when we say "yes" to living in this moment and no other. This "great opening," he teaches, can serve as nothing less than the beginning of a revolution in human consciousness with the potential to transform our world and everyone in it. Also for the first time on audio, Eckhart Tolle comments on his own awakening, and what he sees as the next step in human evolution. From insights into the way out of suffering, to evidence that a new consciousness is already rising, "Even the Sun Will Die" confirms Eckhart Tolle’s place among the most important and accessible spiritual teachers of our time.

More About the Author

Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.

Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

This review is from: Even the Sun Will Die: An Interview with Eckhart Tolle (Audio CD)

I read the Power of Now and found it very helpful. I expected to be impressed by this interview but it still vastly exceeded my expectations. Tolle not only went ahead with his planned interview on September 11th but was calm and managed to say very thoughtful things on a day filled with panic for most people. This shows the value of what he has to say. Somehow, hearing his voice and intonations helps to understand what he is trying to convey better than words on a printed page. I recommend this interview highly to those who find value in the "Power of Now." Very moving. I have listened to these CDs many times.

This review is from: Even the Sun Will Die: An Interview with Eckhart Tolle (Teaching the Power of Now Series) (Audio Cassette)

This is a wonderful CD and great opportunity to listen to the spaces between the words - as Tolle teachers us - to the author's own interpretation of his message. Unlike others who have reviewed this item, I have all of Tolle's works and still enjoyed this CD.

To those who say it is "hard to follow" I would respond by saying that the fault does not lie in the CD, but elsewhere. To those who say they are put off by the author's voice or speaking mannerisims, I would respond that they should re-read his original work and quit focusing on the shallow forms we humans take and concentrate on the words! Have we come to this - that only good looking/perfect/great sounding people can sell anything? And to those who say the author is only repeating what he said in his origianl book, I repsond, of course! His original book had it all. He has been breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces at the request of the public, and he has told us this in his previous interviews etc. He has already said that everything we need is in Power of Now, but because we want it in smaller pieces, he is giving it to us - only to get complaints. And for the people who complain that he did not address the 9-11 issue - read the label and listen to the introduction. This issue was addressed in those locations as well as in the message of the text - pay attention!

The mixed reviews do not surprise me. They are an indication that this material is right for someone who has reached a certain point in their development where they are perhaps just at the verge of readiness to surrendering to what IS, rather than trying to control events.

I listened to the audio CDs in my car and experienced a sudden shift, a deep understanding, accompanied by lightness and a feeling of expansion, although I had already read the book "The Power of Now". Make no mistake: this is a highly evolved being speaking to you. I understand that it is difficult for a fast-paced culture (like the American) to listen to the silence and laughter and hear the messages in it. This is the point. As to the 9/11 events: how appropriately he addressed this drama. Yes, drama. As it is merely drama that unfolds, but this IS NOT us. We are eternal being caught up in material reality in this incredible drama. Tolle knows how to bring people back to who they REALLY are.
