Transmuting the Pain Body

I want to talk about Eckhart Tolle today and what his teachings have meant for me.

I first met Eckhart while managing a tourist park. The kind lady who introduced me was from Texas and I will always remember our chance meeting. The nature of a tourist park is that there are always people coming and going and well, I happened to be working on the day a lovely couple from Texas came to stay for their last night in Australia.

As they checked in, we got to discussing all sorts of things and it soon became evident that it was like we had always known each other, so easy was the conversation flow. We remarked on this and then laughed. I asked how they had enjoyed their stay in Australia. They proceeded to tell me how wonderful it was. They had a book of stories to tell and would delight their family and friends on their return home. We were invited to look them up if ever we were in Texas. Such a wonderful chance meeting, I will never forget this charming couple.

As it turned out, the next day I happened to be off work and away from the park, where I was the onsite manager, therefore my home was at the park. On my return, I noticed a basket of goodies on my kitchen bench. There were a number of items including food. A note showed it was from my newfound Texan friends thanking me for a wonderful stay in the park and blessed conversation the day before.

I sifted through the goodies in the basket when I came across a book penned by Eckhart Tolle. The book was titled, The Power of Now. I had not heard of the author nor the book but I thought it was a lovely gift as I was an avid book collector. I read a little of the book that night and found I could not quite 'gel' with the contents so I laid it aside and continued with my busy life.

Years passed and I had moved home. One day while unpacking my beloved books, I happened upon the book. I must read this again I thought, maybe the time was right now. So I started. Do you know, I could not put the book down, so strong was the grip the words were having on my thinking. I finished the book and started to hunt around for more of Eckhart's books. One thing led to another and I found an interesting video clip on the internet of an interview with Eckhart. The interviewer was Oprah Winfrey. I watched with immense interest and realized this guy was talking to me personally. I am sure he spoke to everyone, on a personal level, so entrancing was his delivery of his belief.

That was almost 5 years ago and I am to this day so very grateful to the Texan couple who led me to read a book. Eckhart Tolle has a an amazing story to tell and his truth has and will for generations to come, enlighten anyone who is looking for a path to a fuller life. Thank you Eckhart Tolle.
