not live their life until they were alone, or felt like if their partner was happy then they too would be happy. “No matter how successful, assertive, or powerful some women are, the moment they become involved with a man they begin to give up part of themselves- their social life, their time alone, their spiritual practice, their beliefs and values”. (Beverly Engel) The longer a woman pretends to be happy and go along with the things her partner wants she will soon no longer know what it is she truly wants. After some time, she will find herself looking to her partner to fulfill her needs and will end up living her life in the shadow of another’s. “When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.” – Eckhart Tolle Works Cited Delbanco, Nicholas, and Alan Cheuse.

a book by Eckhart Tolle. The book majorly talks about how living in the present (now) is the true meaning of life. It provides people with the real happiness they require in their lives. The main subjects of the book include spirituality and psychology. Tolle uses his knowledge to write to us about how every person needs a guide in their lives so that they may live up to their expectations. In spirituality, individuals undergo some changes which define who they are as a person and show the world…

According to some, “Ego means Self-Identification with thinking to be trapped in thought which means to have a mental imagine of “me” based on thought and emotions. So ego is there in the absence of a witnessing presence.” (Eckhart Tolle). Soul searching and self-identification are definitions of phases every one of us experiences while going through life. I believe that many of us have had that certain memory playback whether it is driving along the street we grew up on or certain places we…

Fronsdal’s “A Perfect Balance,” Dzigar Kongtrul’s “Old Relationships, New Possibilities,” and Eckhart Tolle’s “You Are Not Your Mind” relate with the way we treat the people we love? In what ways do the articles agree and disagree on meeting enlightenment? What do they say about how people should go about life to conquer our goals? Focusing too much on family and friends is a person’s natural instinct, especially when all people do is try and please others. Today, people need to focus on who and…

In that experience of ‘inner transformation’ his mind stopped. He was pure awareness with no thoughts. He was as if sucked into a whirlpool of energy, a sort of void, slow at first and then gathering speed and momentum. There was intense fear accompanied by trembling. And then suddenly, the fear disappeared and he surrendered himself to the void. The next day, he woke up, as if transformed, joyous with tears in eyes. Everything appeared fresh and pure. ‘Being established in that presence or…

In three works, The Alchemist, Simple Abundance, and A New Earth, Paulo Coelho, Sarah Ban Breathnach, and Eckhart Tolle all used the job of a personal legend in their works. The use of it lets the authors show depth within their characters and their works. A personal legend is one’s god given skill, or their goal in life. It is what you live for. Paulo Coelho uses the idea of a personal legend within the character Santiago. Early in the novel the reader learns that Santiago’s parents wanted…

the past or the future it would not be in existence (or the present). A man cannot fully appreciate the present if he is too worried about what happened or what is going to happen, rather than what is happening right now. Linda Ferguson explains that the benefits of the present can only be reaped if someone begins “embracing ‘What Is’ as a precious gift” (16). It is understood that sometimes the present is “unacceptable, unpleasant, or awful,” as Eckhart Tolle describes it (29). By effectively…

As a 16 years old girl, I’ve overcome many experiences, realizations and obstacles that made me who I am today. I think most of us have to overcome some difficulties to make us more confident and to learn more about ourselves. As Eckhart Tolle says “You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level”. When I was 5 years old, I wanted to become a Flight Attendant because they work and travel everywhere at the same time but then I…

“When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.” This quote by Eckhart Tolle shows how impactful the loss of peace can be to a person. Without their sanity, it is easy to identify these losses. Although this may not pertain to physical loss, emotional loss deals with more abstract losses such as self, hope, and reality. The effects of colonialism and war played a huge role in the negativity of…
