Summary

Through the centuries, countless people from around the world have been coming to India, thirsty in their search for truth. Considered to be the birthplace of spirituality, India has produced more great mystics and spiritual teachers than any other country. What more fitting place for Eckhart to speak of the eternal Now? It is here on the banks of the holy Ganga, amidst the snow-capped Himalayas and the tremendous beauty of scarlet sunsets that a group of determined souls from around the globe met to sit together in silence. With Eckhart's guidance, the rigors of living in India served as teachers pointing to the release of attachment to form and to seeing deeper into the inner.

Join them in this transformational experience and allow yourself to be guided through words and stillness into the state of presence. This is the surrendered state of consciousness in which the very limitations of form become an opening into the divine. During this seven-day retreat, Eckhart speaks with humble authenticity, wisdom and humor on a wide range of subjects.

Lessons contained in this series: Children and spirituality, Conscious suffering, Self-esteem, Couple partnerships, Falling in love, Addiction, Guilt, Forgiveness, Prayer, Death and dying, Loneliness, Devotion.

Life changingly good stuff

Everything Eckhart Tolle does is awesome and worth checking out if you have had enough of life being a struggle and want to transform it, this guy can show you the way. Laughed and cried over three incredible days of listening to this.

Classic Eckhart

Everything Eckhart has to say is spot on as always. There is a disappointing amount of background hiss on the recording, and I would have preferred it without the song excerpt at the beginning and end of each chapter. Still, a lot of top quality wisdom for the money.

If we can say that anything matters at all in life, in audio books,.... Anything that can be communicated at all - THAT IS IT!

Hours of peace at your fingertips

A beautiful enlightening experience. I found this a perfect compliment to Eckhart Tolles previous works. Recorded at an Ashram in India I chose to listen to this every morning before the business of the day began. With a cup of coffee sat by my bedroom window I am blessed with a view of nature that was enhanced by sitting peacefully in the early morning silence together with Eckhart. He touches on most things you will find in his other works and there is lovely humour along the way in his interaction with the audience. If you are a disciple of the now then you won’t be disappointed in this beautiful recording. Many thanks to Eckhart and everyone bringing enlightenment to this world. And thank you to Audible for this wonderful vehicle that brings these teachings to our world.

Classic Eckhart Tolle

What did you like most about Touching the Eternal?

I found listening to this to be rewarding in many ways. If you like listening to Eckhart then you will likely love this too. If you are not used to Eckhart recorded live then prepare yourself for some silences. Also his unique sense of humour. Otherwise be up for the challenge and enjoy the ride.
