Eckhart Tolle

[JOEE]

I just read the power of now and the content is so powerful and life changing! 

Leo, what exactly do you think of tolle's message of the Being within us and specifically our immortality as a formless consciousness? 

I remember you saying that we are existentially nothingness, and that everything comes from nothingness. But Tolle provides a very different perspective. 

 

[Leo Gura]

It's the exact same perspective. This perspective is called nonduality/enlightenment.

What's really life-changing to actually experience enlightenment, not to believe in it or to think about it.

Actual enlightenment will totally blow your socks off.

So work towards it. You cannot do what Tolle talks about without actually experiencing enlightenment.

[Hunter Arrington]

Lot's of enlightenment material just creates more suffering in the beginning to the reader. It's only then can one get in a position to find teachers so they'll stop knocking their head against the wall, only to realize the goal was over in the other corner of the room. 

[JOEE]

@Leo Gura well he says enlightenment is really to disidentify from your mind. To be the watcher of your mind. The realization that you are not your mind is to be awakened  or enlightened  

"Enlightenment means rising above thought"

he also says:

"a desire to become enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don't seek to become enlightened. Become present" 

Lol

Really good book and even more rewarding when putting it into action for yourself.
