I loved The Power of Now. I have listened to this CD multiple times (I hear something new each time) and keep ordering more copies for friends and family. I highly recommend it for anyone who knows the ancient truth that in order to change the world, we must change ourselves.

I've listened dozens of times and each time learn something in a deeper way. The fundamental teaching is of course the same as The Power of Now, yet without as much intellectual explanation, but potentially with more depth if the listener is open. At the risk of being judgmental, I'm afraid those who have berated these CD's with one star ratings just have not yet "got it" and I urge them not to give up!

The mixed reviews do not surprise me. They are an indication that this material is right for someone who has reached a certain point in their development where they are perhaps just at the verge of readiness to surrendering to what IS, rather than trying to control events.I listened to the audio CDs in my car and experienced a sudden shift, a deep understanding, accompanied by lightness and a feeling of expansion, although I had already read the book "The Power of Now". Make no mistake: this is a highly evolved being speaking to you. I understand that it is difficult for a fast-paced culture (like the American) to listen to the silence and laughter and hear the messages in it. This is the point. As to the 9/11 events: how appropriately he addressed this drama. Yes, drama. As it is merely drama that unfolds, but this IS NOT us. We are eternal being caught up in material reality in this incredible drama. Tolle knows how to bring people back to who they REALLY are.

This is a wonderful CD and great opportunity to listen to the spaces between the words - as Tolle teachers us - to the author's own interpretation of his message. Unlike others who have reviewed this item, I have all of Tolle's works and still enjoyed this CD. To those who say it is "hard to follow" I would respond by saying that the fault does not lie in the CD, but elsewhere. To those who say they are put off by the author's voice or speaking mannerisims, I would respond that they should re-read his original work and quit focusing on the shallow forms we humans take and concentrate on the words! Have we come to this - that only good looking/perfect/great sounding people can sell anything? And to those who say the author is only repeating what he said in his origianl book, I repsond, of course! His original book had it all. He has been breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces at the request of the public, and he has told us this in his previous interviews etc. He has already said that everything we need is in Power of Now, but because we want it in smaller pieces, he is giving it to us - only to get complaints. And for the people who complain that he did not address the 9-11 issue - read the label and listen to the introduction. This issue was addressed in those locations as well as in the message of the text - pay attention!

As a fan of "The Power of Now" I eagerly awaited the arrival of an audio of more wisdom from Eckhart Tolle. "Even the Sun Will Die" was disappointing. I just didn't find the material meaningful or interesting, thought it was hard to follow, and the inappropriate snorting (laughter?) was just plain weird.
