My introduction to Mr. Eckhart Tolle was with the Oprah book club selection "A New Earth". Mind you, I don't even watch Oprah but I somehow stumbled upon this book and her online book club course complete with interviews with the author. And then I decided not to do it. Yet a month or so later I saw the book on Amazon and it was inexpensive enough to take a peek at it. And I'm SO glad I did. The book was so interesting I eventually did sign up for the interviews between Oprah and Eckhart which were extremely helpful in absorbing the information.
Let me just say, I have complained over and over about my incredibly busy noisy mind that just never lets up and tortures me to no end. I had no idea that this book and his other book "The Power of Now" would address this very problem. (After I finished "A New Earth" I wanted more so bought "The Power of Now" and enjoyed it as well.) Both books have totally enlightened me and have made so many things much more clear. And though my little mind is still chattering away trying to mess with me, I know that it is simply my mind and not me. I truly believe that over time it will improve even more.
And I still wanted to learn more, so I rented his DVD set from Netflix "The Flowering of Human Consciousness" which was from a seminar in La Jolla, CA in 2001. Yes, Mr. Tolle has a quiet passive speaking voice, but it's quite soothing at the same time. And the information and how he explains things is extremely helpful. The information from these DVD's are just as pertinent today as when recorded and tie directly to the lessons in both books. I would highly recommend the DVD's if you want to listen to him speak about the information in his books. I also recommend the books. I have re-read parts of them as needed and believe I will continue to re-read sections as needed or until I reach complete enlightenment, which I'm sure will take some time!
How do his books tie to Law of Attraction? The focus is about living in the now. At some point he talks about how we build things from the angst of not wanting to be here right now, but somewhere else, and what we make, build, design, etc. is done with some negative energy resulting in a tainted product or outcome. Where if we totally accept the now, the current moment, and build, design, make things from here, they will be done with much greater ease and with positive energy and the end result will also be very positive. In addition, living in the now also prohibits your mind from talking about those negative things like "I never have enough money", "these bad things always happen to me", etc. Those thoughts certainly don't manifest the positive things you're desiring. So I truly recommend you take a peek at either one of his books and get clear about living in the now. (But don't expect it to happen overnight... it takes time.)
