[Summary] “The Power of Now,” by Eckhart Tolle explore the concept of spiritual enlightenment, arguing that true happiness and fulfillment lie not in the pursuit of external goals or the satisfaction of desires, but in the present moment. The texts emphasize the importance of disidentifying from the mind, which is seen as a source of suffering and illusion, and instead connecting with one’s deeper self or Being, which is a state of pure consciousness beyond thought and time. The texts encourage readers to cultivate presence and surrender, accepting the reality of the present moment without resistance, and embracing the impermanence of all things. Various portals into this state of enlightenment are described, including inner body awareness, dreamless sleep, and the contemplation of space. Relationships are presented as a spiritual practice, where the presence and surrender of both partners can lead to the dissolution of egoic patterns and the blossoming of true love.
