Know That "I Am": Portals to Presence and the Realization of Our True Nature

by Eckhart Tolle

Overview

Discover Your Connection to the Eternal Source of All That Is

The deepest meaning of the present moment is inseparable from who you are in your essence. The beloved verse, "Be still and know that I am God," (Psalm 46:10) offers a perennial gateway to this realization. Know That "I Am" presents three audio sessions with Eckhart Tolle, pointing us toward the firsthand discovery of who we are in our eternal nature.

For most of us, our sense of identity comes from the thoughts in our heads—what

Eckhart calls "the story of me." The common denominator of "me" is a lingering,

dissatisfying sense that we’re never complete. On Know That "I Am," Eckhart describes a new state of consciousness that is beginning to emerge on the planet, wherein the sense of self is no longer derived solely from thought—but from the direct recognition of our timeless, "being" nature. Join him to explore:

• The primary voluntary "portals" to presence—including bringing a "yes" to Now, sense perceptions, and stillness itself

• Suffering, the pain-body, and the involuntary openings into presence we often

• Finding freedom from the veil of conditioned interpretations

"‘Being,’ ‘stillness,’ ‘knowing,’ and ‘I am’ are all synonymous in their core," teaches

Eckhart. "Each guides us to the One underlying the many." Know That "I Am" is your invitation to this great awakening.

About the Author

Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine, a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Eckhart Tolle is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and the highly acclaimed follow-up A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time.

Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening includes transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker and teaches and travels extensively throughout the world. Many of his talks, intensives, and retreats are published on CD and DVD. Most of the teachings are given in English, but occasionally Eckhart also gives talks in German and Spanish. In addition to The Power of Now and A New Earth, Eckhart has written a book designed for meditative reading entitled Stillness Speaks.
