Eckhart Tolle Essays

Sense the presence 1) I was once obsessed in an interest fanatically when I was 15. After a few years, Eckhart Tolle’s writing about ego enlightens me. In the book, Tolle states, “Ego is a conglomeration of recurring thought forms and conditioned mental emotional patterns that are invested with a sense of I, a sense of self.” (54) It is tending to mislead, and to confuse the relation between viewpoints and facts. The selective perception and the distorted interpretation are all produced by the

ongoing experience in a way that allows openness and flexibility. It is being fully present and aware during our daily activities” (Compton & Hoffman, 2013, p. 90). I learned of mindfulness a few years ago while reading, “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle and it changed my life.

When I was younger, I used to be so mad that I was African; everyone used to make fun of me. It all started when my “friend” Keyonna came over to my house one day doing a group project. She found out I was African she said “Ew you’re African” I said yes. She continued to insult me, saying that Africans stinks and they’re ugly. That moment I asked myself why am I African?

of the teachings of Eckhart Tolles’ writings. Tolle is a self-help spiritual teacher that focuses on the significance of the power and presence of an awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking.

the storms and struggles that may hover around us. When you are in a state of tranquility, nothing happens to you but everything happens through you! Tranquility is the field where divinity within you and around you is experienced, because as Eckhart Tolle says, stillness is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad translation.9 Integrity means, a sense of wholeness.

A World War II veteran and Olympic runner, Louie Zamperini, went through traumatic events during his life and he came out a changed man not only to himself, but to the world. The novel Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, is an amazing story of Louie Zamperini’s life starting at his mischievous childhood to his Olympic running days to his life in the Japanese POW camp and

Eckhart Tolle once said, “My sense of identity broke down and was replaced by something that is very hard to put not words.” Nwoye’s sense of identity was challenged with the introduction of Western ideas into the Ibo culture.

The reasons for Nwoye’s change in his sense of identity include him being an

Once upon a time there was a street in a particular town. Every car that drove on that street got a flat tire. So the city council decided that there should be tire repair shops set up every mile on that road. Several tire repair shops popped up on the side of the street. Each day hundreds of cars had flat tires and got them repaired. The frustrated drivers lived with it thinking that is the way it is; the city council thought that they had addressed the issue and the shop owners made plenty of

Overcoming Prejudice Prejudice is like a nimbostratus cloud. It blocks the light of thinking with an open and impartial mind. However, through experiences someone can overcome prejudice and see the world through a new, benign light. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, prejudice is deeply rooted in the county of Maycomb. Some characters of the novel are able to let go of their prejudice towards people in the Maycomb community as they grow and gain new experiences. One example

Is it good for society to know everything that is really happening in the world? Have you ever heard about the government hiding information from the public? As a society we always seek knowledge, we think that we know everything thanks to the “free internet”, and to our gigantic libraries full of books or even television documentaries. Although citizens have the right to know everything about their country, the government should not have full transparency by revealing all their information. I believe

As soon as Adam paid his Karmic debt through righteous living, he was given a ticket to Heaven and he suddenly awoke on the planet where he had fallen unconscious. He bore witness to the fact that all of the reincarnated souls still living in the lower planes were held captive in third-dimensional-Earth because of their Karmic imbalance.

Oprah was originally named “Orpah” after the Biblical character in the book of Ruth, but there was a typo on her birth certificate. She was brought up by her grandmother, Hattie Mae Lee. Her grandmother taught

People will tell you who they are by stating their name, their occupation, their ethnicity, their achievements, etc. Our identity is often associated with the roles we play or the stuff we have. Eckhart Tolle calls it our form-identity, an identity based on external forms. A re-cognition needs to happen in our perception that we are neither our positions nor our possessions. The best way to re-cognize who we are is, by remembering who we are, something
