In this expertly produced DVD Tolle extols living in the now as everyone's primary life purpose. The DVD format, like Tolle's message, is simple - Tolle delivers a talk on a stage before a live audience. This DVD is so appealing because Tolle's communication is very often non-verbal. Tolle demonstrates his devotion to living in the now through his lengthy pauses or the way in which he deliberately and slowly takes a sip of water while on stage. His humor is often based on hand gestures and facial expressions, making the DVD format preferable to capture Tolle's wit. Those who only know Tolle through his writing or CD recordings will find this DVD a most complete way to hear and enjoy Tolle's message that the past and future only live in our heads, and all we really have is the present moment. Don't miss this stellar DVD.

another great Eckhart DVD

must buy for all his "fans"

If you will only buy one - The Flowering of Human Consciousness: Everyone's Life Purpose - is the better choice

E.T. has his unique way of Being as he expresses the deepest Truths about who we really are. The essence of who we really are is our primary purpose and the expression of this is our secondary purpose. He really goes into depth, enjoyed his creative unique stlyle only he can deliver.

A bit long winded but it got good at the end. For the price it was worth it.

I always enjoy Eckhart's sense of humor and the easy clear way he conveys information.

When the friend who sent me this DVD as a gift wanted to know what did I think of it, he knew I would tell the truth. My truth: I wanted to slap this simpering, snickering, snuffing little man NOW. As he spoke about life being in the now, and that the future is now, and that even if we were capable of time travel, the moment we arrive in that other time would be NOW, well, I simply wanted to slap him silly. In this moment. Now.

And really, I don't think I am so utterly intolerant. But all those odd little noises he makes. Oh. The little burps in the back of his throat as he sips from his water glass, now, and the seemingly involuntary (and maybe they are) little snufflings and simperings, the way he would laugh without laughing, as if it were such a dirty joke that our laughter must be politely suppressed ... oh, what an annoying being. In my now. That I would rather have in the past. The other and previous now.

All right, all right, so I get what he is saying. But it is not exactly an earth-shattering revelation, is it? That if we are always thinking of tomorrow, where we wish to be, all the changes we might desire, how we would improve on now if only, if only ... then we miss this moment, now. Got that. And on the other end of that time spectrum, if we are forever wallowing in our past, those golden days long gone, hind sight tainting them to a more golden hue than they ever were when they were NOW, and longing for some impossible return or revision, again, we miss this moment, NOW. Which may just be the most golden moment yet. Got that.

Yet isn't there great wisdom to be found in a bit of introspection? The learning of lessons, result of past mistakes, would be that. And shouldn't we have a few goals in mind down the road, some focus on which to train our eye, that we might actually be able to begin building, now, for that now to come?

Seems to me, the magic word here is not NOW. It is more like, BALANCE. Not overly staring over our shoulder lest we bump into some wall; not overly gazing toward the horizon, because it could be a very different horizon by the time we get there. It's all in the balance, not the extreme.

Not much of a water drinker, anyway. Put that water glass down, Eckhart, before you spill it ... in the future. Yeah, and Oprah? Missed on this one. My gifting pal? Still. Now. A pal who knows I tell the truth. As I know it. In this very moment. Could change tomorrow.
