Product Description
With his international bestseller The Power of Now nearing one million copies in print, the humble man known as Eckhart Tolle is fast becoming Americas most popular spiritual teacher. Recognized for his unique ability to draw listeners into the awakened state he calls "presence," Tolle continues to top bestseller lists and fill auditoriums with men and women seeking a deeper sense of connection with life. Now, in a momentous publishing event, Realizing the Power of Now invites listeners to immerse themselves in a full-length audio retreat with Eckhart Tolle. Recorded at a rare five-day gathering led by Eckhart Tolle, here is a special opportunity for those familiar with his work or hearing it for the first time to transcend the finite world of fluctuating thoughts, ambitions, and fears, and touch their true essence. This all-new program includes insights into: entering the Now through the portal called "allow", how to use the "inner body" and sense perceptions to find a peace that exists independent of conditions, expanding the space between thoughts for a deeper experience of the Now, and much more. Spoken simply, with his hallmark warmth, humor, and compassion, here is Eckhart Tolles full presentation of a beautiful way to live that arises through Realizing the Power of Now.

 Essential Tolle October 27, 2007

After discovering the life-altering "The Power of Now", I've been hungry for more Tolle, particularly in audio form. "Realizing The Power of Now" builds on the subject and adds subtlties and nuances that clarify the thinking behind this powerful way of being. That the recording was of a seminar at Findhorn in Scotland before an audience made it all the more effective. He uses examples as they come to hand of ways of accessing the "now" moment. . .from the bird song to the fighter jets from the nearby air force base. Tolle's presentation exemplifies the serenity that the philosophy promises and reinforces the gift he has given us all.
Soulful and Powerful talk January 12, 2006

Ramana Maharshi one of the greatest spiritual teachers of last century, when asked about the number of spirtual teachers teaching various paths, Whom should one take for one's Guru (teacher)? He said to choose the one where you find you get shanti (Peace). Well Eckhart Tolle is the one that brings me the greatest Peace. Eckhart comes across as a gentle humble man with great insight and an extraordinary skill in bringing profound wisdom in an easy to digest format.
This is a great talk with much warmth, humour, wisdom and insight.
If you have enjoyed Eckhart's previous work, I'd highly recommend this one :)
 Contrived and insipid March 18, 2005

Let me say right away that I found "Realizing the Power of Now" much less inspiring than "Even the Sun Will Die" by the same author. And it is definitely not the complete programme of lectures of a week-long retreat since many concepts handled by Tolle in the course of his speeches have never been explained before.
What you will find here is a quite commonsensical mixture of Zen quotes, Christian meditations, all too predictable recommendations to be aware and to accept "what is" and jokes about human silliness, all of this interspersed with the sound of Bali bells, supposedly meaningful silences, outbursts of noisy laughter and the heavy sound of E.T.'s breathing.
Somehow I find that E.T., whose books I have all read and studied, has been corrupted by the enlightenment industry or the "enlightenment club". I have a feeling that he is now increasingly playing a role and trying to conform to people's expectations about what a spiritual teacher should look and sound like. His slow manner of speaking seems terribly contrived, almost calculated to create a state of hypnosis in his hearers. There is affectation in everything he says.
I found the content of "Realizing the Power of Now" boring, shallow and repetitive. If you really want to follow E.T., I recommend "Even the Sun Will Die" instead. "Even the Sun Will Die" is an interview with Tolle made on September 11. In it, Eckhart develops a number of rather profound ideas and relates his own adventure. It is much more interesting than this insipid stuff for mass consumption about awakening.
I recommend Jiddu Krishnamurti, who is both a profound "thinker" and a delightful English prose writer (read his "Commentaries on Living"). But no matter who your "teacher" is, I think it is essential not to accept anything just because he says it. All teachings are dangerous and misleading because words are by definition misleading. As St John of the Cross said, our two most fearsome enemies are the devil and...our spiritual director!
Well said, Juan...
Tolle's Teachings Can How You Live! October 8, 2004
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have been reading and listening to Eckhart Tolle for a few years. His message (or as he would say "signposts")is simple, but profound. If you open yourself up to his teaching, it can change how you live and perceive your life situation.
At a time when our world is in such utter chaos, his message has never been more meaningful or important.
As life affirming as it is highly recommended June 7, 2004

Realizing The Power Of Now is a 6 CD audiobook in which counselor and spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle provides the listener with an wonderfully articulate and insightful presentation on transcending the finite world to touch our tree essence which has "no form, not time, nd no name". Eckart Tolle deftly addresses the use of our "inner body" as an anchor to the Now; the cultivation of "pure awareness" moments; the power inherent in the simple act of noticing; the liberation of laughter; nature as a bridge to the divine; dissolving our "pain-body" with the light of consciousness; finding the peace underlying personal loss; separating our "life situation" from our life; and so much more. This 7 hour, 30 minute, flawless recorded presentation by Eckhart Tolle is as life affirming as it is highly recommended.
