At the Source of Being

Teachings on the Arising of the Awakened State

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

If you go about your day trapped in the realm of thinking, it's difficult, if not impossible, to free yourself from stress and anxiety - and the interpersonal suffering that goes along with it. But if you're rooted in the now, explains Eckhart Tolle, you're already standing in a place of deep fulfillment. At the Source of Being brings you a five-part intensive retreat with Eckhart Tolle, presenting more than seven hours of in-depth guidance in the central aspects of his simple yet life-changing teaching.

Recorded amid the natural beauty of an Australian rainforest, Eckhart discusses a range of topics including:

• How our obstacles can become an opening for spiritual growth
• Attending to the all-pervasive aliveness that surrounds us
• The realization of our "formless" identity
• The only question that matters: Am I present at this moment?
• The meaning of "saying yes to what is" - and the art of stating a "high-quality no"
• Being the space in which things happen
• That which cannot be threatened
• Stillness and true relationship
• Meeting situations with intense consciousness instead of reactivity
• Eckhart's personal "self-destruction" story
• How presence transforms our experience of uncertainty
• Eroding old habits through the practice of detachment
• Pre-egoic thinking and the archetype of the fool

"The only true cause of upset is losing yourself in the world or in your mind," teaches Eckhart. "Mastery arrives when there is total attention to being without a secondary motive." At the Source of Being is rich with insights and inspiration for integrating your "presence practice" into every aspect of daily life. Includes a helpful question-and-answer session with retreat participants.

Sound quality is very bad

The content is good but in the background half the time there is wet sounds like a leaf blower or construction equipment. Not the rain which is fine but some other electric background noise that is hard to listen to, especially during the periods of silence.

Timeless knowledge

Ekhart has a way of bringing the every day presence into light - into consciousness so that the world of form remains in perspective

amazing

Every talk Eckhart gives is beautifully different but always about the same indescribable one life that we all share. if you are a ripe apple, this will be the wind that knocks you into presence

Always Hits the Soul

Eckhart's words are filled with Loving truth. This is a series of lectures from his retreats. It's wonderful to be able to listen if your not able to attend. The sound quality is not very well at all, but to me it was worth dealing with to hear what he has to say. Beautiful reminders of Presence.

Great for mental health!

Love eckhart on YouTube and his books so this was no different, had genuine laughs and thought processes that I will use forever. if you need to feel better in life, want more out of life, or need help always go to Eckhart. his teachings resonate with me on a deeper level more than any religion has before

Good messages put poor audio quality

very nice material but it was poorly recorded compared to the other audio series which made it a bit hard to listen to

Eckart, beautiful as usual

A great retreat. Enlighnet words of a great spiritual teacher. Only the audio has some noisy problems.

Performance issue

What disappointed you about At the Source of Being?

The quality of audio is very poor. Background noise is very loud. Hard to understand the speaker.

Inaudible recording

What disappointed you about At the Source of Being?

What Tolle has to say might be very worthwhile (it probably is), but the recording is so bad one can't tell. I really expect Audible to do a better job moderating their content.

could not hear.

This is the worst book That I've ever Heard Just noise I can't believe They even sold it very poor judgement To releases This audible book. Absolutely worthless And senseless When there part This for quality is all about the money It is what it is if you buy this book Then you'll know. Echart help nose so about this audiobook I believe He would agree I know he's beyond this But I'm not. I hate to have to say it But it has to be done. Someone did a very poor job
