Eckhart Tolle describes the suffering and despair of his late twenties that preceded his sudden inner shift, the experience he later wrote into The Power of Now. He explains the account of "the pain body" — accumulated emotional residue running through individuals and relationships — and what spirit and God mean within his teaching.

Original description

Show the show notes

One of today’s most influential spiritual teachers shares his youthful experience of depression and despair — suffering that led him to his own spiritual breakthrough, and ultimately, freedom and peace of mind. He also explicates his view of what he calls “the pain body” — the accumulated emotional pain that may influence us and our relationships in negative ways. And Tolle talks about spirit and God, and what those concepts mean to him.
