With his book, The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle rightfully takes his place among the problem of humanity , which is deeply rooted in the mind itself. Or rather, our misidentification with mind.
Our drifting awareness, our tendency to take the path of least resistance by being less
than fully awake to the present moment, creates a void.
For it is here - in the Now - where we find our True Self, which lies behind our
physical body, shifting emotions, and chattering mind.
The writer trusts that this book will find its way to those who are ready for such radical inner
transformation and so act as a catalyst for it. He also hopes that it will reach many others
who will find its content worthy of consideration, although they may not be ready to
fully live or practice it. It is possible that at a later time, the seed that was sown when
reading this book will merge with the seed of enlightenment that each human being
carries within, and suddenly that seed will sprout and come alive within them.
