About this listen
Fulfillment and Joy Through the Realization of Our Essential Identity
When challenges arise in your life, what happens inside of you? For many of us, the larger the problem, the more we resist, contract, and react unconsciously. On the other hand, explains Eckhart Tolle, in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is, and experience the natural sense of peace and aliveness that he calls "the joy of being".
The Joy of Being is a four-session program that explores the process of awakening to our identity beyond the limits of thought and the impact this transformation can have in the world. Speaking after a three-year teaching hiatus, Eckhart discusses:
- Working with whatever conditions arise as your guide for the continuing practice of presence
- Using the inner body and sense perception as anchors to the now
- Freedom from suffering - the spiritual seeker's best motive
- The practice of "being the space" for the situations and circumstances you often find difficult
"The joy of being is derived not from something that happens or from some object but from the essence of who you are," teaches Eckhart. "To know yourself as that is joy." The Joy of Being points to a revolutionary phase in human development where thinking is no longer the dominant aspect of our lives, and unconditioned awareness expresses itself through and as each one of us.
Please note: This is a live recording.

Story
The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now" The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within.

We tend to think of meditation as a formal practice we block time out for each day. But what if every moment of your life was your meditation? For Eckhart Tolle, meditation shouldn't be approached as a chore or a means to an end. Rather, meditation is something that you live. "The aim of meditation," states Eckhart, "is that it eventually becomes your normal state of consciousness." Essential Meditations with Eckhart Tolle points the way toward this quiet, constant state of Presence - where practice gives way to the realization of your innermost identity.

Story
In A New Earth, renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle describes how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. The purpose of this book is to bring about a shift in consciousness, or in his words, an awakening. An essential part of this awakening is the recognition of the ego, and our attachment to things, the past, and enemies. In Oneness with All Life, Eckhart Tolle has picked the essential phrases and paragraphs - the gems of the book - that he feels are most important and reorganized them so listeners can focus on the most powerful ideas.

Story
Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

When we hear the word “purpose,” we tend to think about striving to reach a certain goal in the future. “There is another kind of purpose that has nothing to do with time,” explains Eckhart Tolle. “This is your primary purpose—to be here fully in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment remains paramount.” With Finding Your Life’s Purpose, Eckhart presents a two-session program on making the transition from “thought-based” living to the realization of presence as the foundation for all you do.

I never get tired of listening to Eckhart, the things he says I've heard lots of times, but now they seem to have for a deeper dimension.

Enlightening
This is not a typical audio book where the author reads the manuscript they have written. Rather, Eckhart made the decision to record a live event where he led a group through discovery of presence and awakening. The pauses and cleansing bells were highlights of the presentation for me.

great point but annoying kid laughing
great views on life and how to live a better life for each person. what most people have no clue about is that there is a higher being spirit in his body using him to speak to us. it is a relationship he has built off love and trust with these great beings of light. I know because I've seen it first hand with my life to have this knowledge and the work I'm starting to do myself.

Audio quality is poor but message on point.
I'd listen to anything by Eckhart and enjoy it, even this seminar. It was recorded with poor audio quality but hearing him speak so candidly was worthwhile. I recommend this.

Fabulous as always!!
I fully enjoyed this book as I have all of Eckhart’s books, especially those from his retreats. I find his voice unhurried, peaceful and serene. Having read or listened to several of his books now, some of the material is becoming repetitive, but I would expect that, as a process of understanding and learning how to become conscious. I never tire of the lessons and I love the occasional humour he throws out there. I am working very hard to be conscious of how the ego in myself and in others, drives human behaviour, impacting life and relationships. Being present, aware and conscious is not an easy process for me, but I become more and more aware of it daily and I am happy with the progress. Thank you Eckhart!!!!
