Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth"

My spiritual work was brought back on track thru encountering Tolle's "Power of Now," but was given a laser-sharp focus and intensity by working intensely with "A New Earth." It triggered several months of somewhat gritty disection of the structure of my "imaginary self" as Adyashanti aptly refers to "it," but I think laid the groundwork for letting go of seeing that as who I was in truth. Since I have begun to have direct contact with awareness, my natural state, "A New Earth" has blossomed and deepened again. There are layers and layers of interlaced, self-referencing "sign-posts" in this work. In the introduction Eckhart says that the book is more than a set of information, but is a tool for awakening to realization of the deep Self. I find that to be absolutely the case with me.

As with "The Power of Now," I first encountered "A New Earth" in audiobook form. I highly recommend this approach. Both I and several people I've talked to have experienced a transmission of Eckhart's state of consciousness, and an opening to the stillness within us thru listening to the sound of his voice reading his own words.
