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".

Forgiveness Is Freeing brings together Eckhart’s essential talks about shifting to a deeper perception of the self and how it frees us of our suffering. In these insightful lectures - including many simple practices - he shows us how our grievances are reactions to the artificial egos of others, how to bring nonjudgment and equanimity when others overstep our boundaries, how to forgive our own “past selves”, and what to do when the pain of our memories hijacks our emotions.

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
To be human is to suffer - and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening. In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body" - all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth - by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence.

Publisher's Summary
Eckhart Tolle shares the timeless teachings and practical wisdom of five classic works.
Why is it that some books remain relevant hundreds of years after they were first written? "Powerful books are more than simply books," teaches Eckhart Tolle. "They are living energy fields that correspond with and open us to the state of consciousness in which they were written."
In Eckhart Tolle on Great Western Classics, Eckhart shares from his personal bookshelf five works he holds dear to his heart and continues to turn to for guidance and inspiration. "Because they speak to the human condition - to each one of us - these writings have survived through the ages to offer practical wisdom about how to live sanely in the world," he explains.
Join Eckhart as he brings to life the words and teachings of those he considers some of the earliest "flowers" of the awakening new consciousness, in five entertaining and informative talks including:
- "Eckhart on Emerson" - Eckhart reads and comments on passages from the collected essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
- "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius - discover the contemplations of the Roman emperor with an extraordinary understanding of our shared human joys and sorrows
- "The Wisdom of Epictetus" - Eckhart explores the teachings of the former slave and Stoic philosopher who pointed to the contents of our thoughts as the source of suffering
- "The Imitation of Christ" - the path to spiritual awakening, as revealed by the 14th-century mystic Thomas à Kempis
- "On Contentment: An Essay by Plutarch" - a timeless teaching on unblocking the obstacles to the inner peace that is everyone's birthright
Whether you're familiar with these perennial gems or hearing about them for the first time, Eckhart Tolle on Great Western Classics is a uniquely engaging learning experience with the best-selling author and teacher.

Most of these talks can be found online, but the quality, length, and collection is far better than anything you'll find on YouTube, and for an affordable price. I have all of Eckharts books on audible and this is one of the better quality ones.

wonderful insight
I'm thinking E Tolle has a stream of consciousness coming from God since his material is fresh and new in each book and he doesn't prepare for what he is going to say. So easy to listen to. Eckhardt also has a gentle sense of humor. I've enjoyed every book.

Not a book!!
This is not a book. A book is a pre written series of chapters which in the audible form is read by the author in a clear fashion, all the better for his familiarity with the text because of his authorship. I was so disappointed to hear Tolle fumble his way through searching for pages and struggling for commentary in a totally unrehearsed and disjointed manner. Some of the gaps in commentary were embarrassingly long and boring, a bit like a high school student fumbling his way through an unprepared history assignment. Very disappointing. Please do not expect a book. It is not. I want my money back!
