Publisher's summary

"Many spiritual traditions have described our everyday level of consciousness as a kind of dreamlike state—which for many of us feels like a nightmare we can't seem to escape.

Awakening from this dream, explains Eckhart Tolle, starts by coming into a new relationship to the present moment—and discovering who we are beneath the noisy surface of our lives. Recorded at Riverside Church in New York City, Transcending the Ego offers Eckhart's helpful pointers for realizing what he calls our "being nature"—our deeper identity beyond the personal sense of self.

Eckhart begins by describing the suffering inherent in the pursuit of "egoic fulfillment" and how turning to the mind rarely, if ever, produces inspired solutions. In this foundational talk, he shares guidance on remaining rooted in presence as we meet the challenges of our lives, discussing:

  • A simple practice for embracing internally "the things that happen"
  • The universal longing to be ourselves fully
  • The illusory "I" and the timeless "I"
  • Openness to life and the power of allowing
  • Stillness and intuitive knowing

"When we relinquish resistance to the present moment, we become the space for whatever arises," teaches Eckhart. Transcending the Ego brings us his insights for the continuous practice of bringing presence into daily life, and exploring the peace and freedom of being.

No Thing.

In the end you realize he has told you nothing, and also everything all at once and therefore a wonderful pointer. Simply nothing to think about.And we begin.

Silence, simply put, with a touch of humor.

A subject often difficult to comprehend. Eckhart Tolle is genius at keeping it simple without talking down to his audience.

Very good points

I have a tough time seeing past Tolle's delivery and tone. Still, I found great value from some of his points

I inhale every word

Since my mind has made a shift in consciousness Eckhart Tolle has become one of my most important streams of information.

Yet again I was touched by every word from him as well as the subtle and sweet laughs it caused.

Highly recommend listening to his speech ... if needed even multiple times- it’s worth it.

Short presentation

Thought I was buying a book not a one hour seminar. So disappointing But the message great.

Beautiful

I really appreciate the practical applicable manner in which the author talks about the Transcendence Presence and ways to become aware of It. And also, how to become aware of the thinking and talking voice in our heads that can often become an obstacle to quietness and stillness.

Okay

This title talks about the issue of the mind and the ego as your thinking processes.

It is ok, has little pearls in it.
