I picked up the book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, awhile back. I began to read it but simply couldn’t make my way through it. While there were parts that resonated, I didn’t know how to let them in. I knew it was an important book so I put it aside—for seven years. I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago and it is now having a profound impact on me.
“All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.” Eckhart Tolle
That is all I can do. That is my responsibility. That is what I commit to do for those around me and myself. I must surrender here and now to create the space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter. It will. It is.
Tolle continues, “Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists.”
Powerful, powerful words, Mr. Tolle! Do you mean to say that arguing, manipulation, withdrawal, hate, control, prejudice, war, or even shutting down are not helpful catalysts for transformation?
Creating a clear space of loving presence—that’s the ticket. That is my aspiration.
