“The Arising of True Intelligence” – Eckhart Tolle recorded Talk

The Stillness Within Meetup enjoyed a recently published talk by Eckhart Tolle – a talk given in India which explored “The Arising of True Intelligence”.  There were eleven of us at the event and we enjoyed some discussion on parts of the talk that resonated with each of us.  Some really found that there were short silences between the words of Eckhart’s talk that seemed to provide opportunity for a deeper presence in the listeners and a quieting of the mind.  One woman enjoyed seeing Eckhart in a video format, having recently read the Power of Now.  I enjoyed a part of the talk where Eckhart described the deep ‘joy of being’ that he experiences at times.  I’ve also found a subtle yet reverberating gentle warmth emerging when thought has fallen away.  People valued the fact that Eckhart made the effort to express in words concepts and experiences that are rather undescribable, and that he admits the imperfection of the words he has chosen.  This was a nice afternoon gathering with a beautiful group of (human) beings.
