Here Tolle emphasizes the art of "inner stillness"--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: "When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world." Don't expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book <I>The Power of Now</I>, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don't abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, "but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although 'the worse' is more apparent because it makes so much noise." Devotees who have read all of Tolle's books and audio tapes probably won't find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. --<I>Gail Hudson</I> 2782954 1 9 2003 Stillness Speaks total:343|5:158|4:106|3:65|2:11|1:3| 343 1434 591 55 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 23 21:51:17 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 21:51:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 17:30:59 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 20:57:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 29 02:37:50 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 02:39:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Feb 23 12:07:33 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 09:09:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 11:34:01 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 14:01:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Apr 04 18:59:06 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 19:00:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Fri Mar 27 20:31:33 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 20:33:06 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 08:12:27 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 08:15:27 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 17:55:43 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 17:55:43 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 09:09:56 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 09:11:12 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Fri Jul 31 17:24:28 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 21:34:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Wed Feb 18 13:19:58 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:21:09 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 29 18:06:54 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 18:07:18 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 07:48:58 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 07:49:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 10:24:20 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 09:20:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jan 26 10:10:18 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 11:46:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 08:51:20 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 11 09:11:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 08:32:14 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 08:35:44 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Aug 14 19:13:40 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 19:30:08 -0700 2008
