This book, captivating in its simplicity and poetry, is an eye-opener and heart-opener for everyone, from the beginner in spiritual matters to the "old hand". All back doors are gently closed until we stand before the now. Here is a door, says Eckhart, use it!
No wonder Eckhart Tolle is so sought after - the greatest, deepest truths sound so plausible, simple and clear with him that suddenly you understand everything, yes, not only understand, but experience.
This moment, the now, the here, the body. So simple is the focus, and in the simplicity - what richness! The author's own experience resonates in every word, his humility, his love, his radicalism, his compassion. The language is exquisite and at the same time unconditionally precise. Carefully we are introduced to the subject and its own terminology, every question that might come to us is answered, every objection debunked.
Eckhart shows us that we are surrounded by gates, all leading into awakening - the now is one of them, but our relationships can also become gates, our conflicts, our suffering. Life constantly presents us with new opportunities and Eckhart makes us awake to them, alert. He gives us back our power to use our life, our now. Because: if not now, then when?
Hardcover, 240 pages.
