And in this a question arose without an answer: who is the I that cannot live with the self What is the self I felt drawn into a void I didnt know at the time that what really happened was the mind-made self, with its heaviness, its problems, that lives between the unsatisfying past and the fearful future, collapsed. It dissolved. Thé next morning l woke up ánd everything was só peaceful. Just a sénse of presence ór beingness, just obsérving and watching. Even the traffic. The feeling continued, and he began to feel a strong underlying sense of peace in any situation. He stopped studying for his doctorate, and for a period of about two years after this he spent much of his time sitting, in a state of deep bliss, on park benches in Russell Square, Central London, watching the world go by. He stayed with friends, in a Buddhist monastery, or otherwise slept rough on Hampstead Heath. His family thóught him irresponsible, éven insane. He changed his first name from Ulrich to Eckhart; by some reports this was in homage to the German philosopher and mystic, Meister Eckhart.

In 2018 Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine produced the first ever publications of Tolles nature photography. Tolle writes in the introduction to his second book, Stillness Speaks: A true spiritual teacher does not have anything to teach in the conventional sense of the word, does not have anything to give or add to you, such as new information, beliefs, or rules of conduct. The only functión of such á teacher is tó help you rémove that which séparates you from thé truth. An essential aspéct of this awakéning consists in transcénding our ego-baséd state of consciousnéss.
