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".

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.

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.

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.

Nice and long
Eckhart talks about things I have not heard him mention before in this nice and long talk. He should do stand up comedy, he's hilarious. lots of insights and laughs in this. Some parts the audio quality is very bassy. Be sure to hear the end, it's the best part.

Sustaining Presence
What did you love best about Sustaining Presence in the Face of Catastrophe?
Last Sunday the 10 of Septmeber I was in a shelter awaiting hurricane Irma after recieving a message from Charlotte County to evacuate Saturday morning the 9th of September. My home was in Flood zone B. My cats were in anohter room in the shelter but we were as safe as we were going to be. I didnt know if anything was going to be left my car, house me and my cats, I had audible on all of my devices and I listened to Eckhart Tolle Sustaining Presence in the Face of Catastrophe the night it was hitting us. I had to let go of everything, I didnt want to what if everything, tried to stay present as much as I could. Listening to Eckhart has helped me a great deal in watching myself when I want to go into a painbody and not following it down its ugly path like I have in the past. Its a constant energy that awareness slips in and out of but I feel like there is some progress.
The next morining about 4:30 am I reazied I made it thur with liitle or no damage to the school I was in I then went to see if my car was still there in the dark as the power went out and the only light was the back up lighjts and my flashlight. I walked thu downed tree branches and lo and behold my car and not a scratch on it. I was amazed. I was then able to go see my cats they were in a stronger room than I was:) I drove my car closer to the shelter and started to put my things back in my car.
I recieved a message from my neighbor that my house was fine and never lost power. I was able to go back I couldnt believe it after all the destruction that Irma caused.
Things are just things I dont own anything the message is clear lets say perhaps i wont go in to the clouds as quicky and stay in my pain body too long.
What did you like best about this story?
The messaage of now. How we have to experience a painbody until we actually dont need to go there any more and what experience does it take to get me there.
How to look a the world and the different groups and how their painbodys effect us.
The hope of people waking up.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love his sense of humor and how suscinctly each example hits home and we can laugh about it.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was in Weehaken NJ when the planes hit the world trade center I saw the first bullding burning and didnt understand what I was seeing at the time. What expearience will it take to wake me up.
Any additional comments?
I really love Eckharts message it is clear without dogma.

Tolle As You've Heard Tolle Before
If you've read or listened to any of Eckhart Tolle's books before, you've heard this. It's about what we identify with, what we fixate on, how we need to expand our consciousness/awareness. Plus, it's about pauses in the delivery to his audience. Long, lengthy pauses. Pauses that were so drawn out, I thought the book had stopped itself. Tolle is an amiable sort, and his tone is kind and warm, but seriously: Hours could have been cut from this book.
If you're looking for guidance, looks to his other works. This one has been done before.

Post 9/11 retreat - a recommended experience
A retreat with Tolle is always a heart opener and this one is no exception. This retreat was conceived not long after 9/11 so it reflects this but is not "limited" by it.
Performance rating is mere my mind minding microphone issues resulting in occational bad audio quality. However, let not that discourage you.

Straight to the heart.. Now!
Dear Eckhart is always spot on. He describes all the ‘ways’ identity is fighting to survive life in trauma.
I highly recommend any of Eckhart’s pointing’s. He provides such depth that is overlook again and again, missing our very true nature which is always available through grace.
