MOVIE & A MESSAGE
The Flowering of Human Consciousness, Part I
September 17, 2012
Monday, 6-7:30 p.m.
Part II
October 15, 2012
Monday, 6-7:30 p.m.
Part III
November 19, 2012
Monday, 6-7:30 p.m.
In The Flowering of Human Consciousness, you will come face to face with Eckhart Tolle, for a transformational meeting with this respected teacher and author of the international bestseller The Power of Now. In clear, simple language, Tolle explains the process of entering this "miraculous" state of presence that is always available to us. We are lost, he says, in the maze of our own compulsive thoughts. Only by ceasing this "mental noise" can we dissolve our egos, and enable the "flowering of a new consciousness" to proceed - a transformation that cannot be understood from the mind. From guidance about stress and career, to the insights into the nature of the ego and the delusion of time, here are a few far-reaching sessions that document the vision of this modern spiritual teacher, and the truth he brings.
