To make the journey into the Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of Eckhart Tolle's extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, "The eternal, ever present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us. A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.… (mere)
De kracht van het nu: een gids voor spirituele verlichting is een boek van Eckhart Tolle. Het presenteert zichzelf als een discussie over hoe mensen zichzelf en anderen behandelen. Het concept van zelfreflectie en aanwezigheid in het moment wordt gepresenteerd samen met eenvoudige oefeningen om de principes ervan te bereiken. Het boek put uit een verscheidenheid aan spirituele tradities. Een recensent beschreef het als "boeddhisme vermengd met mystiek en een paar verwijzingen naar Jezus Christus, een soort New Age herwerking van zen." tradities om een "geloofssysteem gebaseerd op leven in het huidige moment" te beschrijven. De kernboodschap is dat de emotionele problemen van mensen geworteld zijn in hun identificatie met hun geest. De auteur schrijft dat een individu zich bewust moet zijn van zijn huidige moment in plaats van zich te verliezen in zorgen en zorgen over het verleden of de toekomst. ( )
First half is simplistic, but tolerable, even if somewhat obnoxious. Second half is a mix of pseudoscientific nonsense (everything about body and energy) and bad unsolicited relationship advice. Which brings it, on average, below the readability threshold. ( )

When you say Being, are you talkíng about God? If you are, then why don't you say it? The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes, but I do so sparingly. By misuse I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as íf they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as "My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statement "God is dead." The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered, a mental image is created, no longer, perhaps, of an old man with a white beard, but still a rnental representation of someone or something outside you, and, yes, almost inevitably a male someone or something. Neither God, nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word, so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience That toward which it points. Does it point beyond itself to that transcendental reality, or does it lend itself too easily to becoming no more than an idea in your head that you believe in, a mental idol?The word Being explains nothing, but nor does God. Being,however, has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization I am that is prior to I am this or I am that. So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.
