Description

Eckhart Tolle – The Flowering of Human ConsciousnessFor two years, a small man sits quietly on a park bench. People walk by, lost in their thoughts. One day someone asks him a question. In the weeks that follow there are more people and more questions. Word spreads that the man is a “mystic,” and has discovered something that brings peace and meaning into our lives.It sounds like fiction, but today that man, Eckhart Tolle, is known worldwide for his teachings on spiritual enlightenment through the power of the present moment.In The Flowering of Human Consciousness, you will come face to face with Eckhart Tolle, for a transformational meeting with this respected teacher and author of the international bestseller The Power of Now. In clear, simple language, Tolle explains the process of entering this “miraculous” state of presence that is always available to us. We are lost, he says, in the maze of our own compulsive thoughts. Only by ceasing this “mental noise” can we dissolve our egos, and enable the “flowering of a new consciousness” to proceed–a transformation that cannot be understood with the mind. From guidance about stress and career, to insight into the nature of the ego and the delusion of time, here is a far-reaching session that documents the vision of this modern spiritual teacher, and the truth he brings.More than 20 years have passed since Eckhart Tolle answered his first question on that park bench. While his audience has grown, his message remains the same: that it is possible to stop struggling in your life, and find joy and fulfillment in this moment, and no other–through The Flowering of Human Consciousness.A presentation at the Sherwood Auditorium, La Jolla, California – March 5, 2001.BioEckhart Tolle graduated from the University of London and was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University.
