A New Earth”, by Eckhart Tolle, is required reading to understand and gracefully undertake the evolution of human consciousness that is happening now! Eckhart Tolle is a rare individual who has experienced enlightenment and returns to teach the way to freedom from the tyrannical dysfunction of the unconscious mind. He teachs from the inner state of conscious being. Awakened consciousness is explained with a clarity that directly applies to everyday life.

In his book, Eckhart shows that humanity is at a critical point in its spiritual evolution, and that our survival depends upon the simple act of awareness – the awareness of the consciousness that is the basis of all of life. Consciousness is the spirit that creates and sustains everything in the universe. Consciousness is experienced in the quiet of the present moment, free of the thoughts of the thinking mind.

He clearly explains that all of the dysfunctions in the world come from the thinking mind that perpetuates the illusion of a separate self, that which we call the ego. He shows that the stream of thoughts that usually inhabit the mind are the mental products of unconscious mental activity. These are the thoughts that we attach to as our identity. Unconsciousness means to have our thoughts and actions arise from this mental construct of who we are and how we live. This is unconscious living, and it is unconscious living that produces conflicted relationships among nations, among people, in families, and within ourselves. Unconsciousness means to be ignorant of our spiritual essence.

Then, he explains what each of us can do to dissolve the ego and awaken to our true nature of conscious being, utilizing the power of the present moment. All of life happens in this timeless moment. This is the power that is liberated in being fully conscious in the present. All along the way, he gives easy, practical methods that you can immediately apply in your daily activity to bring more awareness and consciousness into your life. In this simple but powerful way, you become a force in the evolution of humanity.

“A New Earth” conveys the essence of universal truth that is the core of all spiritual teaching. Every page of the book brings profound insight and clear explanations of the mechanisms of human unconsciousness and how we can align ourselves with consciousness and create the “new earth” of peace and enlightened living.

Life is a dynamic energy force in continuous motion. We experience the movement of the life process and call it change. Nature experiences change as cycles – day/night, seasonal shifts, and birth, growth and decay of life forms.

The process of life has its cycles. When you find yourself in a “rough patch”, know that it is just part of a cycle. It is a stage on the shift to another level. It is temporary – meaning a transient moment in the flow of your whole life. This phase is part of the change that creates your higher future.

There are cycles and there are evolutions. Humanity is engaged in an evolution of consciousness. We are experiencing a falling away of the old world and the dawning of the new world that resonates on a higher level of conscousness. The changes that are happening now, in the world and in each individual life, are steps in the life process of aligning to a global humanity – an awareness of humanity’s one consciousness.

To overcome the fear of changes that happen in your life, remember that it is just a phase that facilitates a greater process of evolution. Here is a simple method to bring tranquility into a challenging situation. It merely involves attention to your natural breathing.

Tranquility Breathing:
When you inhale, think Peace; when you exhale think Love.

And you can breathe the Love and Peace energy the other way:
When you inhale think Love; when you exhale think Peace.
