ENTERING THE NOW

When you first encounter Eckhart Tolle's pregnant pauses--and there are dozens of them in this live recording--you may think your CD player has malfunctioned. But once it's clear that these gaps are all part of his teaching, and once Tolle elucidates, you'll realize that he is simply teaching you . . . to be . . . here . . . now. The very paradox of timelessness causes Tolle and audience to giggle often, as will you, as it . . . all . . . sinks . . . in. Despite his cosmic levity, Tolle's warm delivery, rife with Germanic robustness, is a kind and illuminating guide for the time-addicted. His Teutonic Zen koans have a peculiar way of permeating your mind. D.J.B.
