The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle

You Are Not Your Mind

Take a moment. Listen to the voice in your head. The one that is reading these words. The one that is worried about dinner or the meeting tomorrow.

Eckhart Tolle asks: If you can hear that voice... who is listening?

In The Power of Now, Tolle reveals that you are not the thinker; you are the observer. The path to ending suffering is to realize that the past and future are illusions. The only thing that has ever existed is Now.

The Core Concepts

This is a guide to spiritual enlightenment, simplified.

The Pain-Body

We all carry a "Pain-Body"—an accumulation of old emotional pain. It feeds on negative thoughts. When you get angry over something small, that is your Pain-Body taking over. The only way to dissolve it is to shine the light of presence on it.

Clock Time vs. Psychological Time

• Clock Time: Practical. "The meeting is at 2 PM."
• Psychological Time: Dwelling on the past or dreading the future. "I hate meetings; they always go wrong." Clock time is useful. Psychological time is a disease.

Waiting is a State of Mind

"Waiting" means you want the future and reject the present. It creates inner conflict. Stop waiting. If you are washing dishes, just wash dishes.
