I don't know how to explain how much Eckhart Tolle has given me in a single moment. And I don't know how to express the immense gratitude I feel.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU. THANK YOU

First, I have had what felt like a true fight between good and evil for my soul in recent years. I had wife who insisted on following the mormon religion, which divided my family for years. My child chose not to follow the mormon beliefs, but in the end the marriage ended. In the years following my divorce, I was tempted by not one but several women who were willing to give me anything to hang onto me. They would try to bring other women into our bed and they used sex to tempt and control me. Things got progressively worse as I would break things off with each woman, only to be tempted by another exactly like her. The new women would pretend to be Christians, good people, moral people, but in the end, they were just evil. The severity of each woman's revenge grew in intensity 10 times more than the one before for leaving them. Ultimately, I was left broken and beaten down. I have spent the last two years receiving medical treatment and trying to just get back on top of my life again. I looked to the Power of Now as a way to suppress the pain and move forward. It seemed to be helping and I found myself buying books for strangers, telling people about it at every turn, both online and in person.

I have been told on multiple occasions that I must be a very important person to have survived the horrible things that were done to me in the fight for good and evil. I would take this as nearly insulting, because I was a broken man at the lowest point in my life. It seemed patronizing and made me feel as though I should be outraged that someone would even suggest that the indignities done to me were part of a plan for my life. Violence was forced upon me with last two women I dated as they tried to see that I paid for not wanting to be with them anymore. This violence resulted in chronic pain and multiple surgeries to repair the damage. Of course, these women enlisted the help of new men in their lives to teach me a lesson, because women control men in ways we may never even want to openly admit.

In my attempts to erase the painful memories, I started reading the "Power of Now". One night I woke in pain while I was having a vivid dream about good and evil, where I was left with this shocking insight to the possible real motive behind the book. The author talks about the existence of another entity inside of us as though it is just a common thing. More than that, it says we should learn to NOT LISTEN TO OUR OWN THOUGHTS, saying that in time we might even eventually laugh at the voice inside our head instead of listening to it. I thought for a moment about an exorcism movie I had seen where the priests fought to reach the real person, who's body was taken over by a demon. This had special implications with me, because in the last few years I have had many lapses in time where I had gone to the store in the middle of the night or written emails, etc. that seemed to not even be coming from me. It was blamed on the head injury that I had received and at other times it was blamed on sleep medications like Ambien and Triazolam. They called it sleep walking, but the bottom line is that I felt violated every time I woke to a morning after being someone else for a night with no memories at all. You walk and talk to people as though you are in a zombie state. I went as far as to give Ambien to one of these women who had taken part in the destruction of my life one night. She was awake and looking into the camera with dead (possessed looking) eyes, as she proudly told me the real story about dozen of lies she had told me over the years. She had cheated on many occasions, while launching verbal attacks on me to divert the attention off her. On the Ambien, this girl told me the truth about everything with a smile on her face. With the pride of a demon, she would smile as she told me about how hot the other men's orgasms were. She used words that would be as painful as they could be as she mockingly told me all of these stories with very vivid details. This was not SLEEP WALKING. It was the act of a evil entity. It was like looking into the face of evil. I broke all ties with her and later she was launching another attack on me about how delusional I was to believe all of the things I did about her. I told her that I had a video of her confessing everything in great detail, to which she replied that I was a (cursing) liar and to (cursing) prove it. I sent her video and she was shocked. She reacted with such disbelief as she watched the video. It was her, telling me as harshly as she could ever evil thing she had ever done to me, that she always claimed were just me being delusional when I would question her about where she had been or what she had been doing. She could only tell me that she didn't know why she said those things, but that maybe she was just screwing with me or something. I have always believed that this girl had given in years ago to the forces of evil and she claims to be an atheist. If Ambien could make someone who lived a life full of secrets suddenly look into a camera and boldly tell 20 sex stories in great details that had happened and with no other goal but to see pain on my face as she told me while smiling, then what is the true purpose of meds like Ambien and Triazolam? Is it all just tools of evil to peck away our soul's ability to be in charge of our body?

I am throwing allot at you at once, but keep reading.

It is my belief that our souls are the entity that is primarily in control of our body, but that there are other entities constantly trying to take over, like in the possession stories. In the possession stories, some other entity takes over the body at their will, not your will. The demons kill and abuse others. When the person wakes later, they have no memory of anything happening. Anyone who ever took something Ambien and woke to weird things that had been done by them with zero memory or first hand accounts, will see this connection now and (like me) are feeling a chill run up their spines.

The forces of evil are about deception. They are about manipulation. What does any of this have to do with the Power of Now book? We are knowing taking medications that may in fact be allowing these other entities to take over our bodies. Then I read this book, which is supposed to be about ending suffering. It says that we must be open it. It says we should lay down our will and not believe that we are the ones who are supposed to be controlling our bodies. The book encourages us to "stop thinking". It tells us to empty our mind and ignore the voices in our head that are questioning love and life. It uses words like enlightenment and oneness to shame us or peer pressure us into falling into submission. The fact that the author openly talks about other entities inside of us is powerful. It says the only difference between us and a crazy person talking to themselves as they walk down the streets (which we have all seen), is that we have these conversations inside of our head everyday. They don't keep it inside their heads, but aside from that, we are the same. He says over and over that they voices are real. He tells us to ignore the voice that we "think is in charge" and learn to numb your mind to the point of letting our "true identity" take over. Does anyone else see a problem with any of this?

I do not have a great education. I am communicating this as clearly as I can. I think I am supposed to tell you all to look at this from from this point of view. Are we becoming enlightened? Or are we following instructions to lay down our will and let another entity take over our bodies? Why don't we remember the things we say or do while on Ambien or other similar medications? Do they artificially have the same results? Do they force our true identity to lay down control to another entity? People have been charged with crimes committed while on these medications. What would a demon do if they could joy ride with your body for a night? When I first read the book "The Power of Now", I felt a wisdom that did not seem possible to come from a single man. When I heard the audio recordings of Eckhart Tolle reciting his book, they sounded like the words of God. His voice is hypnotizing and anyone who has heard it, will have to admit that. The immensity of his pure and simple logic was frightening to me on some level, but I read on. Now, I fear that they are all tools of the forces of evil, trying to get us to lay down our free will. God gave us free will and I have heard that evil cannot exist anywhere that it was not first invited. I don't even like to watch Hollywood movies about evil, because that is a form of us inviting evil into our lives.

I don't honestly know my role yet in this fight between good and evil. I honestly don't even know if I am the good guy or the bad guy yet. I am just reporting my insights as clearly as I can for you to consider, because I have been moved to do so. I am honestly fearful that by me going public with this that I will be inviting evil into my life. I have no intentions except to tell what I have witnessed and the enlightenment that I recently experienced about it all leads me to suspect deception. Someone told me awhile ago to question books like "The Power of Now", because even though they talk about the empowering us with true enlightenment, they may ultimately be leading us down a road of deception. These people told me to only trust the Bible and my first reaction was that they were being purist and that anything that leads us to internal peace can only be a good thing. Now, I fear they may have been right.

There is no doubt we are living in the final days. 200,000 people died in the earthquake of Haiti, thousands more in the tsunami in 2004 that shook the world, the tsunami that claimed the nation of Japan, and so on. Japan now has a person committing suicide every 15 minutes nationally after the tsunami. Its their number one cause of death nationally since the tsunami hit. Japan continues to be rocked by earthquakes every week, so does the Philippines, New Zealand, The United States, and Europe. Look up how many volcanoes have erupted world wide in the last year alone.

Look up Supernova info regarding the Red giant star Betelgeuse. Look up the Great Rift. Its a black hole in our solar system. Why do I mention both of these? Because the Betelgeuse (ancient name for Satan too) supernova is predicted to happen as early as next year and the earth is also supposed to travel dangerously close to the great rift next year. Next year happens to be 2012, aka end of Mayan calender, etc. Its really all just too much to be ignored any longer isn't it? Personally, I think its all happening right under our feet. If a day to God like a thousand years to us, then today may be the day of reckoning. In fact, all of these terrible disasters have all happened in just a few years of each other.

Revelation 1:12 talks about opening the sixth seal. When the "SIXTH SEAL" was broken John tells us that there was a "GREAT EARTHQUAKE," and the "SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR," and the "MOON BECAME AS BLOOD," and the "STARS OF HEAVEN FELL TO THE EARTH," and the "HEAVEN DEPARTED AS A SCROLL," and "EVERY MOUNTAIN AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACE." The great earthquake is basically happening now. If you don't believe it, look at the US Geological Service's website http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/ and you will see a 7 day window to world quakes. If you look at a larger window for several years, its frightening how much is happening right under our feet. It says the moon will become as blood, which has happened many times in history from earthquake gases and volcanic ash released into the atmosphere. Here is just one example http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2003046/Lunar-eclipse-Chi.... As for the heavens departing like a scroll and the sun becoming black as a sackcloth, what do you think would happen if we went into a black hole in the universe? The stars would fall from heaven? The black hole would make everything fall from heaven, but the star suspiciously named Betelgeuse imploding, becoming a second sun in our own sky for a week or so before dimming to just a glowing cloud of smoke in the night sky would also sufficiently be described in this way. Certainly, every mountain and island would be moved of their place, but again this has already happened in our poles being shifted by earthquakes of recent years. The entire nation of Japan was shifted 3 feet and the poles moved again.

I am not an overly religious person really. I do not preach or even talk opening about this stuff often, but for some reason I am being compelled to share my insights. I have many questions about all of it and that is all I am saying to you. Question Everything. "The Power of Now" may just be another cleverly disguised tool of evil and I only want you to consider that as you read or listen to it. Are you being given instructions to lay down your free will and let another entity take over your body? Lookup "Is Ambien creating a nation of zombies?" on Youtube. It talks about people "sleep driving" and "Sleep walking". It talks about crimes being committed and people even walking off buildings. What would a demon do if they had control of your body. God gave us free will and Eve chose to be disobedient to God. He gave them one rule and she broke it. In keeping with the nature of women in general, they want to be heard by their man. They want to bring knowledge into the relationship and to be valued for that. I think that Eve truly thought she was just enlightening Adam, who she loved. I do not believe she intentionally misled Adam. In her mind, she had figured out that the fruit was good and she wanted Adam to see it too. This simple analogy can be applied to daily life in marriages around the world and the situations they find themselves right now. Deception comes in many forms.

My mother always told me, "God will never give you more than you can handle".

Paul tells us: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength but with your testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Over time that promise has become abbreviated to "God will never give you more than you can handle."

Maybe its my job to remind you of this and to draw attention to the devil's tools of manipulation. Maybe I am being chosen to provide you the way out by sharing this. Women are Biblically one of those tools as well. It started in the Garden of Eden. I am only saying that men are supposed to be the spiritual leaders of the family and that if a woman is leading you down a different path, that you should recognize that for what it is. Its deception and manipulation. A woman scorned is not something we should make jokes about. It is truly an example of the wrath of evil and its real. There are good moral woman out there, but there are also women out there who feel they are good and moral as they lead you down a path of destruction. I think that often a person can contribute to the cause of evil without any intention of doing so at all. Mr. Tolle, if he is doing so, may not even be aware of it. He may have the best of intentions or he may be the devil himself.

I don't know all of the answers. I am certainly no scholar. I am saying to you to be strong.

Do not lay down your will to an unknown entity, a medication, or a deceptive woman.

I know there are truths that have been shown to me and for some reason it is my responsibility to tell you.
I have done that.

May God protect my soul.

Tolle show me the way to my spiritual process that will be long way, but i will work on details and try to be my present always. Thanks for giving us the exact TOOLS to pass this journey.

The story of the Little Prince has been so very beneficial to me as part of my ongoing search for a higher consciousness. I am sad to know it will be coming to an end soon so would like to know if it will remain on the website for me to go back and read over so many of the aspects of the story which have helped me along the way. The principles are so simple to follow and the teachings as Eckhardt brings with it quite invaluable. The Wisdom contained in the daily blogs and some of the comments by others keeps me on the ever-forward path to higher consciouness. As someone said, when I found myself dwelling on problems from the past or worrying about the future, I realise that I've slipped up and immediately try to go into the presence. It's being able to see progress along life's journey which previously,was never just there. It actually makes life so much more interesting!

Since reading the Power of Now, my life has changed. I can feel my presence when I am still, listening to the sounds of life. The end of "living in time" is so liberating and feels like a ton has been lifted off my shoulders. To be able to turn off your mind and go mindless is very powerful. My breathing techniques have help me guide my way through the choas and noise of the external world. My purpose is to live in the present moment and obtain the inner peace necessary to make it through the day without depleting my life energy on petty/trivial matters that add up to nothing.

Without a doubt! The teachings of Echardt Tolle has given me a new lease on life. The more I find the 'stillness' the more I wish that I could have been aware a long time ago of this 'relatively simple' way to contentment, peace, happiness and wisdom. I first read "A New Earth" in 2009 and then progressed to "The Power of Now". Both life-changing, and have ever since recommended Tolle's teachings to all I find who are interested in changing how they live life. I am so very grateful that someone like Tolle is in our world and that I was able to access sthese teachings, living in South Africa, where we arn't always on the forefront of what's "new". Havn't yet read "Stillness Speaks" but will do so soon. Thankyou to all at Namaste. Big gratitude to Tolle and all involved in the good stuff coming from Namaste. Long may this continue

a new earth. it made me laugh, laugh out loud as the realisation of it's simplicity hit me! the restless energy inside me is gone and i am at peace,now, no longer stuck in the past and terrified of the future. nothing has changed, yet everything has changed. Thank you for this book.

Unbelievably simple and beautiful. I just finished, A New World, and the message and information was life changing. I truly connect with the way that life works, and being on this path in this illusory reality; being Presence in every moment is an adventure unlike any I have undertaken. This message and information is forever ensconced in my being, and I am truly grateful for the awakened spirit in me. It is a wild ride this life, and I now look forward to every moment, every Now Here!

Like for many of us, this road to NOW seems to have been a long and windy one. At first it was paved in miracles, mysticism and ‘other-worldliness’, perhaps as calling cards…invitations to look more closely at the ‘isms,’ and ‘beliefs’ that stand baring the door. But somewhere along the way, with earnestness, and an inquiry that continues to turn back on itself we meet ourselves in the clear and polished mirrors of the likes of Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Eckhart Tolle. I love the pure reflection of ‘what is’, in their presence. In gratitude…J

My story is like many others : I was seriously depressed, anxious, sad, and thought I was losing my mind. I went to a psychiatrist who tried to put me on wicked medication, oh, they tried so hard to get me to take that crap!! Instinctively, I knew it was not for me. I stopped going to them. By chance, a co-worker was going through the free books section in our workroom. I saw " A New Earth" and glanced through it, little did I know it would completely change my life!! They say when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Well, I was soo ready!!Eckhart is my new teacher and I read his books continuously and listen to his tapes in the car. Sometimes, I want to talk to him so badly!!!
These days, I accept my dark moods, let things go, and know "This too shall pass" and it always does!!! I like to think of my mind as the sky and my thoughts and emotions as clouds that come and go and pass by. I no longer take my mind so seriously-when I do get stuck in my head, I have many tools now to let go: meditate, deep breathing, nature, prayers, reading Eckhart!! It has helped me so much and I am so grateful for his teachings. I want to meet him so badly and thank him for saving my life :)

Thank you Eckhart Tolle. Thank you all who be. Thank you for the opportunity to be with you.

Awesome, Cara. I, too, have always been rather "cerebral" in my approach to life. It was a challenge to allow myself to just be in presence where real answers could emerge from within rather than be artificially formulated at the mind level!

Like others, I'm sure, I've read many books about enlightenment and spirituality. All wonderful and great. My problem, until listening to Tolle's audio book "The Power of Now," was that I saw it all as a "path to" enlightenment. Then, within one hour of hearing Tolle's book, BANG! It all came together. I was in the present. My life changed literally in a heartbeat, a breath. I had been avoiding being. Suddenly I was awake, and remaining present, all the time. It was scary, in a wonderful way. Our life situation gets us down, however, on occasion, and the ego cleverly gets me off track. But I smile at this now. We all have our moments of feeling down, and many new questions arise, but the more I listen to Tolle (audiobooks and videos), the easier it is to recognize what is really going on, and unravel the answers. My relationships have totally changed at every level. Thank you Eckhart Tolle!

Tolle's book has changed my life profoundly. I recently taught a comparative religion course based on A New Earth in Italy. The name of the course was "What is happiness and how do we find it?"
I started off with the ancient story of the elephant and the blind men: http://www.comparativereligion.com/
I finished with Peter Russell's thoughts: http://www.peterrussell.com/Odds/SoundsTrue2012.php
