The world's religions share a universal truth: peace is possible. Eckhart Tolle discovered this firsthand during a transformational experience at the age of 29--when the 'continuous mental noise' that made his life 'an unhappy story' spontaneously ceased. The Simple Truth is an illuminating session with the author of The Power of Now that traces the growth of Eckhart's teaching work--and offers the possibility for each of us to participate in the evolution of human consciousness. Fielding a series of questions presented by Danish journalist Anne Hjort, Eckhart discusses: -Discovering a dimension beyond your personal history -Living in the moment instead of toward a 'better' one -The primordial truth of being -Taking action in the world while rooted in presence -The role of suffering and the meaning of surrender -The 'inner readiness' that precedes acceptance of what is -Paying attention to your relationship to the present moment -The purpose of all spiritual teachings: to reveal what's already here

If you really want to know how spiritually awake you are, spend time around other people. For each of our relationships—from the brief interaction with the barista to our bonds with lifelong partners or family members—reflect back to us our predominant state of consciousness. With Enlightened Relationships, Eckhart Tolle offers a two-session program on bringing the transformational power of presence into this often challenging yet deeply rewarding area of our lives. Session one explores the arising of a new consciousness on the planet, and how more and more of us are beginning to experience a shift from an egoic, thought-based identity to the realization of what Eckhart calls our essential "Being" nature. Session two offers a practical look at how this emerging awareness impacts our relationships, as well as the steps we can take to welcome "the vertical dimension" of space and stillness as the source of true connection and harmonious relationships. "It’s easy to fool yourself as to your state of consciousness if you avoid other people," remarks Eckhart Tolle. "For presence to become deeply rooted, it must be tested in the fire of relationships." Enlightened Relationships brings you Eckhart’s practical guidance in opening to the full potential of our interpersonal engagements.
