Eckhart Tolle Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary writer on spirituality who is sometimes characterized as New Age. His non-fiction bestseller, The Power of Now, describes his experience of enlightenment at the age of 29 after suffering long periods of depression. This book teaches the power of focusing on the present moment and the futility of dwelling on the bygone past or fearing the imagined future. The present moment is all that one really has and being consciously present in the now is the best way to realize the immense potential of the future. "Being in the now" also brings about an awareness that is beyond the mind. This awareness helps in transcending "the pain-body" that is created by the identification of the mind and ego with the body. Tolle's teachings are non-sectarian and comparable to that of Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti and Nisargadatta Maharaj. (references)
