![]() ![]() Deep under all of that, we are something else, free of all worldly constructs and if you train enough, you can live in the Now. ![]() But we are not the ego, this is the thinking brain and the thinking brain is not who we truly are. Of course, this is made extremely difficult in this day and age, because we are distracted easily and before we know it, our thoughts dwell on all kinds of things, meaning our ego has taken over. He believes that the only way to become enlightened is to not let our thoughts distract us and be in a constant state of awareness right here and now. The past doesn’t matter, the future is in constant motion and we only have the here and now. ![]() This entire book is all about living in the here and now, because according to Eckhart Tolle, that is all we have. For some reason my nerd mind immediately connected this to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which says “Don’t Panic” in large friendly letters on the back. The limited edition that we got has the text “You are not your mind” imprinted on it in large gold letters. Eckhart Tolle has been known for this book for a long time and he’s seen as a modern day spiritual leader, with millions having read his works, with the most notable one being this book I’m reviewing today. I read the Dutch version of this book called “De kracht van het nu”, but the English title, as my review suggests is “The Power of Now”. ![]()
