On this talk, an excellent summation of his teachings, Eckhart Tolle starts by describing problems all humans face: a strict sense of self located in personal history, mental interpretations, and memories of the past; a feeling that’s forever being reinforced through habitual thought patterns. When listeners identify with these thought patterns, they create what Tolle calls “the little me,” a person imprisoned within rigidly defined boundaries. Yet, as he explains, “the little me” is not the truth of who you are, but of who one was, and reflects a past that no longer exists. He gently guides listeners on the journey in to the present moment, into that spacious stillness where they may be more than they think–where they may be, in fact, part of a great, mysterious whole. Achieving this transcendent state allows listeners to move beyond self-defeating limitations and live lives of grace, ease, and lightness.
