The Power of Now
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Description of book
Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold
It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

- First almost all if feels lika aha moment's.. but like you where told very early in the book. He can't tell you anything you don't already know. That you. You being you, you - and not your mind. This instrument, the mind.

Thee pride of humanity. Without our special kind of "human" reasoning and growing taking over, consuming. Never leaving anything left for other living things.
Still "only" nomads. Not doing evolution right. This mind All of humanity hogging all streaming speakers available.
Playing all of your greatest hits you don't recognize after closer look acting, twitching. Obviously not caring about anything but streaming. Your favourite hits that always makes you feel bad, sad and confused.
(book used the word) "fragmented" Spot on.
Picture with color "sting's my eyes white" in dictionary explains "fragmented" - two word's black text. "Human mind".Book★5

- Insightful en enlightening. A lot of repition of the central concepts, put into several (slightly) different contexts, but therefore clear what the author means. This book definately helped me to be more more aware of myself and others, to be mindful and to teach me how to treat my mind as a tool rather than being used by the mind.
