For two years, a small man sat quietly on a park bench. People walked by without notice until one day someone asked him a question. In the following weeks more people asked more questions, and today that man, Eckhart Tolle, is known worldwide for his teachings on spiritual enlightenment through the power of the present moment. In this DVD program, Tolle explains the process of entering a "miraculous" state of presence that is always available to us. The author of The Power of Now and A New Earth (the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club), Tolle was born in Germany and educated in England, and embarked on his spiritual path after a profound inner enlightenment at the age of 29. At the core of his simple teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that transcends our ego-based state of consciousness, which he sees as the next step in human evolution.
