Getting to know Eckhart


As part of our spiritual formation at The Open Door , I have recently been attempting to read ‘The Power Of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle.  I’m finding it very hard to get my head around the concepts in the book and am already planning a second read through, hoping for more clarity.

The idea of being in ‘The Now’ has great merit and is more difficult than it sounds.  The ability to bring your absolute attention to a person, task or activity, allows for complete appreciation and enjoyment of the moment ‘The Now’.

The mind is a saboteur, which is constantly on the alert for problems past and present, and in doing so robs us of the joy of ‘The Now’.

This alone is enough to work on at the present moment for this little mind!

More later...
