About Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle was born in NW Germany in 1948, where he lived until the age of thirteen. He then moved to Spain and lived there with his father for the next six years. He then decided to go to the UK to work and study. After graduating from the University of London, he took up a position as a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University.

One night, at the age of twenty-nine, after suffering periods of acute anxiety and depression, Eckhart experienced a personal crisis and as result, a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and set in train a course of events that was to bring him to the attention of millions.

Eckhart's academic life continued for the next few years, but eventually, he felt that was not the way he was meant to go and so he left the university and devoted several years reflecting upon, understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation which had marked the beginning of his intense inward journey. In 1996, he moved to Vancouver, Canada, and began work on his first book.

Eckhart has authored several books, the first being 'The Power of Now', which has sold over two million copies and has been translated into 35 languages. He then wrote a small volume entitled: 'Stillness Speaks' which one can dip into anywhere for insight and profit. His latest book, 'A New Earth' was released in late 2005 and early sales indicate that this too will be a best-seller. Some exerpts from his writings are available online.

Eckhart has traveled extensively, taking his teachings and his presence throughout the world. He visited Australia in March, 2009. He's much in demand as a retreat teacher and is often called on to address large audiences. At times, however, he limits his public appearances in order to reflect and write.

Eckhart is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his teaching, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters -- we can know the truth of who we really are and there is a way out of mind-made suffering and into peace.

Eckhart commented recently ...

"It's good to know that the Internet, which is used for many 'insane' purposes, is used to bring about a shift in consciousness, raising consciousness rather than lowering consciousness. In itself it's neutral, like any technology – it is neither good nor bad, it depends how it's used.

Technology tends to amplify patterns that are already there, in the human mind – so you can see the madness of the human mind amplified if you surf around the Internet, you can see it very clearly there. A lot of it is. But it can also amplify the opposite of that, it can amplify the rising consciousness, a new level of consciousness.

So far, there's probably more madness than sanity on the Internet, but that could change. We are using this medium to see if it can be used for a positive purpose, rather than amplifying the insanity of the human mind – it counteracts that."
