Many of the systems we once relied upon, both inside and outside, are no longer stable.

The mind searches for certainty when none exists, creating anxiety and overwhelm.

But beneath it all, you already sense there’s another way. A quieter intelligence. A way of being that doesn’t
depend on everything going right. That’s what this year with Eckhart provides. 

Over the years, many people have asked me about finding their purpose in this world and how this

connects to spiritual awakening. It’s a very important question.

Recently we’ve had events in the collective that have pushed many into states of fear and anxiety.

There has been a kind of enforced stillness for the population. Whenever there is an extreme form

of adversity, an opportunity also arises.

Our alertness has gone up to the present moment and to what is happening around us. Many are

going deeper to become aware of something that cannot be seen but is rather felt. This is an

undeniable field of energy, consciousness that makes all sense perceptions possible. That Presence

is inseparable from who you are in your essence.

On the one hand, your life purpose unfolds through the activities that you engage in on what I call

“the horizontal dimension”—or the dimension of doing. But everybody eventually finds if they only

operate on the horizontal dimension, it doesn’t ultimately satisfy them.

There is another dimension that I call “the vertical dimension,” or the dimension of being. The

mastery of life is to have a balance of both. I sometimes call it the dance between being and doing

—not as separate things, but acting together—being and doing as one.

Eckhart Tolle Now is a place for you to learn, practice, and awaken in community. We will look

deeply into the skills, the practices, and, perhaps most importantly, the being dimension. Remember:

the ultimate source of satisfaction in life is to recognize yourself as consciousness.

If you miss that, then no matter what you achieve in life, it is not going to make you happy for very

long. We can start now, right where we are. By going within we can discover the place where life is

born continuously—the source of creation—consciousness itself.

As humanity awakens, so too will our powers to create true change on our planet.

With you on the path,

Eckhart Tolle
