If your true self can’t be found in your job, your possessions, your body, or even the contents of your mind, then just who are you, anyway? Tolle has long considered this question - and with The Journey into Yourself, he guides listeners on a fascinating exploration beyond conceptual identities and into the timeless consciousness of the present moment.

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.

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 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.

Tolle at his best

Publisher's Summary
Through the centuries, countless people from around the world have been coming to India, thirsty in their search for truth. Considered to be the birthplace of spirituality, India has produced more great mystics and spiritual teachers than any other country. What more fitting place for Eckhart to speak of the eternal Now? It is here on the banks of the holy Ganga, amidst the snow-capped Himalayas and the tremendous beauty of scarlet sunsets that a group of determined souls from around the globe met to sit together in silence. With Eckhart's guidance, the rigors of living in India served as teachers pointing to the release of attachment to form and to seeing deeper into the inner.
Join them in this transformational experience and allow yourself to be guided through words and stillness into the state of presence. This is the surrendered state of consciousness in which the very limitations of form become an opening into the divine. During this seven-day retreat, Eckhart speaks with humble authenticity, wisdom and humor on a wide range of subjects.
Lessons contained in this series: Children and spirituality, Conscious suffering, Self-esteem, Couple partnerships, Falling in love, Addiction, Guilt, Forgiveness, Prayer, Death and dying, Loneliness, Devotion.

The "grittiest" (and deepest) of Tolle on audible
At the very beginning of this retreat you know it is going to be different from Tolle's other books and retreats. Maybe is is the influence of being in India but this is definitely the "grittiest" of the Tolle recordings available at audible.
What do I mean by "grittiest?" I mean the most realistic, the retreat that most acknowledges that not everyone is at the same level yet. The tone is not darker, but it is more nuanced.
For example, at the very beginning of the retreat he begins a familiar Tolle refrain, "you do not need more time." If you have listened to Tolle before you know what he means by that, you have everything you need in your life right now, there is nothing that you will have tomorrow that you do not have today. You can become present in your life right now. Check! Got it! I have heard this and I understand.
But wait! In this retreat he says, "well some of you do need more time." This made me pause for a moment. Really? Some of us do need more time. Why? Tolle goes on to say, "Because you may need more suffering." Ouch.
He says that some people - even some people at the retreat - may not yet be ready to be present because they are too attached to thoughts, material possessions, ego, etc. This is not new, but the way he emphasizes that some people might actually need to suffer more is a little different from the eight or so other Tolle books and retreats I have read.
The retreat itself is grittier, too. He talks to the retreat-attendees there in India about the limitations and hardships of being in India. This is the retreat that delves the most into these things. Even the questions the retreat attendees ask seem a little grittier.
This is also one of the longer audible Tolle offerings (which I think is great! The more the better). And the music used in this one is the most spiritual and inspiring too me.
Do not let this be your first Tolle book or retreat. For that I recommend of course the book "The Power of Now" that started it all or the fun and lighter retreat "Freedom from the World."
However, if you are a Tolle veteran and want to get into something long and deep and very real, this audio retreat is exceptional.

Powerful transmission
I love that this is a live transmission. You can feel the depth in his words as he speaks. It comes through him so effortlessly and with ease. I listen at night when I cannot settle my mind and it takes me very quickly into my own space of presence. Truly a masterpiece and a powerful transmission of higher truths.

Interesting experience listening to Eckhart. In the last chapter he speaks that he likes hugging and he would like to hug everyone before they go from the retreat. Last night he hugged me in my dream. I felt a cool breeze comming from him and I was in thoughtless awareness... I felt before this while dreaming about Shri Mataji.

What did you like most about Touching the Eternal?
I found listening to this to be rewarding in many ways. If you like listening to Eckhart then you will likely love this too. If you are not used to Eckhart recorded live then prepare yourself for some silences. Also his unique sense of humour. Otherwise be up for the challenge and enjoy the ride.

Everything Eckhart has to say is spot on as always. There is a disappointing amount of background hiss on the recording, and I would have preferred it without the song excerpt at the beginning and end of each chapter. Still, a lot of top quality wisdom for the money.

Painfully narrated
The narration was unbelievably grating, so much so that I felt the outcome was the total opposite to the desired goal.
This is another, and one of very few, that I restarted time and time again, hoping it was only my mood that was distracting me and annoying me. It wasn't. It was the combination of the narrator and the endless tedium

Profound and simple teachings
If you could sum up Touching the Eternal in three words, what would they be?
life changing and funny
Would you listen to another book narrated by Eckhart Tolle?
ABSOLUTELY!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, as it requires contemplation before moving on. To listen in one sitting would be like eating multiple xmas dinners in a row! One needs to listen bit by bit to allow it to digest.
Any additional comments?
I thoroughly enjoyed it. EXCEPT for the singing at the beginning and end of the chapters that became rather annoying after awhile.
