Seeking to address people’s rugged determination and arrogance that they have full control of their lives, The Power of Now is honest but very insightful. Here we look at the confirmation of self-belief in Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.
The Power of Now takes reference from a range of traditions and spiritual beliefs, combining elements of Buddhism, Christianity, Zen and mysticism to produce its own potent belief on living in the present moment. The book’s core message, if one its to be defined, is that emotional issues for people stem from their identification – or rather misidentification – with their own minds.
Tolle posits that the people who struggle with such issues should follow his advice to live always ‘in the moment’ and resist the temptation to dwell too much on the past, the future and all things that may or may not and will change. He makes a very valid point to reinforce his assertion, stating that the present is all the matters because a person’s past and future are created in their minds; they have either already happened and are mere memories, or they are simply hypothetical ideas impossible to prove.
He goes further by dismissing the supposed benefit in believing one has control over their life, stating that this is an illusion that only brings pain to the believer when they see it is not true. Tolle suggests a host of techniques and methods to help people relax, meditate and think on the path to rooting themselves in the moment as he consistently asserts.
