For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes it's hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." Be patient. All concepts will be revealed (or at least more carefully explained). Ultimately, Tolle leads readers into a new form of thinking (or actually <I>not thinking</I>) that erases the consuming habits of waiting, worrying, and being in fear. The first step is ending the "delusion of time." He asks, "Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? ... Is most of your doing just a means to an end?" If so, Tolle has a book full of advice for you. As simplistic as this may sound, Tolle's work has spiritual merit and depth, especially for frantic Westerners who find their lives diminished by packed schedules and busy-ness. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 3437032 10 10 2001 Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now total:361|5:170|4:114|3:52|2:19|1:6| 361 1506 617 54 5 1 false false Wed Nov 19 22:33:31 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 22:34:02 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 03 06:40:54 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 07:00:35 -0700 2009 - step out of your mind, realize that time and mind are inseparable (focus on the now)

I found the original version rather redundant and this little book covers all of the main points talked about in almost all of Tolle's works.

A good read for anyone who wants a modern read on living in...more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 18 18:10:42 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 18:10:42 -0800 2009 5 1 false false Wed Jan 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 09:41:45 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 09:43:54 -0800 2009 many 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 08 15:14:42 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 15:17:05 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 21 21:41:28 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 21:41:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 16 15:59:56 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 16:01:05 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 15:16:08 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 15:16:33 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 20 21:01:13 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 21:01:59 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 11 09:57:34 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 09:58:37 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Aug 17 15:31:13 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 15:37:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Dec 26 12:49:37 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 26 13:35:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 28 03:52:16 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 03:52:36 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:23:30 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:24:51 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6709
