The Flowering of Human Consciousness: Everyone's Life Purpose (Power of Now)

After reading both The Power of Now and A New Earth, I wanted to see and hear Eckhart Tolle deliver his message. This two DVD set (3 1/2 hours in length with professional production technique) is both a great stand alone introduction to his teaching and an excellent supplement to his books. In addition to presenting his teaching in a very simple and direct way, Tolle demonstrates a wonderful sense of humor. His smile and laughter are infectious. His unique ability to make fun of our small, egocentric, sense of self (that we take way too seriously) may help some to see beyond it to what he refers to as Being, Presence, Spaciousness, and Stillness. I see Tolle as a modern prophet bringing an ancient, spiritual message to a world in desperate need of it. Because he was born and came of age in the West, his teachings lack some of the esoteric cultural forms unique to the East. My particular area of interest and practice is Zen Buddhism and I find Tolle's presentation more accessible and helpful than what is found in the writings of many of the Zen Masters from Japan, China, Korea, and Southeast Asia. I highly recommend this DVD set to those who currently practice meditation or other spiritual disciplines, as well as to those who, for whatever reasons, find themselves drawn to Tolle. You will not be disappointed.

I think of Eckhart Tolle as required reading for those of us on a spiritual quest. Also enjoy listening to his presentations. He has that quality that is powerful and fey at the same time. As a soul who has e xperienced pain and suffering sharply, I can take his wisdom in without tightening up against his words. Thank you Eckhart Tolle, you have helped me enormously.

Eckhart Tolle goes through and explains the state of egoic consciousness as is it now exists on this planet and has existed for thousands of years. He explains how to gradually free yourself from the egoic mind patterns that bind you to your past conditioning. I found the whole talk very very helpfull.

I have tried to meditate for years, and this DVD by Echkart Tolle was the ticket. If you have trouble meditating, I would strongly suggest that you get this DVD for your own since I like to revisit it every once and awhile. What an inspiring teacher Eckhart Tolle is.

I love Eckhart Tolle I love flowering of consciousness I stronglyI stronglysuggest reading for other people on an enlightened path

Eckhart Tolle might be the smartest choice for everybody who wants to expand into bigger and better things in life. The man is a genius (and very funny too, as in humor....) and this DVD shows him at his absolute best

I haven't even watched both dvd's yet, but as always, Eckhardt Tolle is incredible! I had a stressful week and spent some time watching the dvd, and it really helped me "get back on track", with that sense of inner peace. It's great knowing that I can watch it whenever I need to.

This CD is in CDA format. You can't make a CD copy, and you can't transfer the files to your MP3 player. I emailed the Customer Service folks at the producer of the CD, and they didn't know anything. They said that you just copy it, which is NOT true -- they obviously don't understand the format they record in. Why do they make a meditative CD, but the only place to listen to it is your computer, which is an awful place to listen to such recordings? This also applies to "Resist Nothing". So be forewarned. Anyway, to help others - there is a way to convert these to MP3 -- I searched around the internet and figured it out, no thanks to the Customer Service people. Here are some links to learn about the format and then get a converter so you convert the files to MP3 or other: [...] [...] And, I would second what another reviewer said -- the audio quality is not that good. Not one of Tolle's better recordings.
