Eckhart Tolle: His Life & Quest for the Power of Now
Summary
In search of Eckhart Tolle's lost years: This unauthorized biography of Eckhart Tolle, the celebrated author of The Power of Now, A New Earth, and Stillness Speaks, among other works, presents a series of known - and not-so-known - facts about his early life, his spiritual awakening, and his long and winding quest to understand the inner transformation he experienced as a young man. It is the result of several years of research and mainly concentrates on the period before he became the best-selling author and world-famous spiritual teacher for which he is presently known. As most people know, Eckhart Tolle was 29 when he experienced the sudden awakening that triggered his avid journey into spiritualism, prior to which he had suffered from severe anxiety attacks and suicidal depression ever since his early childhood. However, a vast number of people still ignore that it took him around a decade to truly understand the event that triggered his personal transformation, plus another 10 years to finally write and publish his first book, The Power of Now. Truth is, at first, he was clueless about what had actually occurred to him on the night he “awakened”, as he later confessed in an Oprah Winfrey interview published in O Magazine: “I didn’t really understand the process.... All I knew was I was so peaceful. Where did it come from? That was all I knew. It took me years to understand the process behind it.” And, when interviewed by John W. Parker for his book Dialogues with Emerging Spiritual Teachers, he added: “I knew, of course, that something profoundly significant had happened to me, but I didn't understand it at all. “It wasn't until several years later, after I had read spiritual texts and spent time with spiritual teachers, that I realized that what everybody was looking for had already happened to me.” What exactly took place during those 20 years? Who were the spiritual teachers he spent time with, and who else influenced him back then? When did he familiarize himself with the texts of Jesus, Buddha, Lao-Tzu, Meister Eckhart, Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, and A Course in Miracles? How did he end up becoming a spiritual leader and best-selling author? And why is there so little information about most of his “lost years”? Discover the answers now and witness the rising path of this modern mystic whose message still resonates worldwide, benefiting millions of spiritual seekers around the globe. Get this revealing biography now and discover Eckhart Tolle's amazing quest for the power of now! Namaste! A.J. Parr

New Age Christian Meditation
Summary
This audiobook contains the basic steps of new-age Christian meditation, also known as esoteric Christian meditation, which is based on the ancient practice of “inner silence”, originally imparted by Jesus to his closest disciples and purposely hidden from the masses. Based on four decades of comparative religion research and meditation practice, these lessons and exercises reveal the keys of the secret teachings of Jesus, decoded from the four canonical gospels as well as the Old Testament. Also included are a series of complementary writings by notable Christian mystics of all times: from Meister Eckhart, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Francis of Assisi, to more “holistic” spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and Allan Watts, among others. In short words, the practice imparted in this audiobook is based on attaining a state of “[I]nner silence” or “[I]nner stillness”, as stated by the German mystic and Dominican monk Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) who sustained that “[T]here is a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself, and the recovery of our own silence can begin to teach us the language of Heaven”.

Buddhist Meditation for Beginners
Summary
Buddhist meditation for beginners in seven easy steps. The lessons and exercises contained in this audiobook will help you understand Buddha's essential teachings (the Dharma, Way, or Path), including the basics of Buddhist meditation practice. Apart from quoting ancient Buddhist scriptures, it contains priceless advice from Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, Krishnamurti, and Alan Watts, among other renowned spiritual teachers. Although the ultimate goal of Buddhist meditation practice is attaining a state of spiritual awakening or enlightenment, it must be said that hardly anyone achieves this - except perhaps dedicated monks and advanced practitioners. In spite of this, there are many benefits attributed to regular meditation practice, as a recent Mayo Clinic report states: "Meditation can wipe away the day's stress, bringing with it inner peace.... If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying meditation. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace.... Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. And these benefits don't end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and may improve certain medical conditions...." This is truly an audiobook recommended for everyone interested in finding the truth, escaping from Illusion, and experiencing inner peace in the now!
