About this listen

Fulfillment and Joy Through the Realization of Our Essential Identity

When challenges arise in your life, what happens inside of you? For many of us, the larger the problem, the more we resist, contract, and react unconsciously. On the other hand, explains Eckhart Tolle, in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is, and experience the natural sense of peace and aliveness that he calls "the joy of being".

The Joy of Being is a four-session program that explores the process of awakening to our identity beyond the limits of thought and the impact this transformation can have in the world. Speaking after a three-year teaching hiatus, Eckhart discusses:

  • Working with whatever conditions arise as your guide for the continuing practice of presence
  • Using the inner body and sense perception as anchors to the now
  • Freedom from suffering - the spiritual seeker's best motive
  • The practice of "being the space" for the situations and circumstances you often find difficult

"The joy of being is derived not from something that happens or from some object but from the essence of who you are," teaches Eckhart. "To know yourself as that is joy." The Joy of Being points to a revolutionary phase in human development where thinking is no longer the dominant aspect of our lives, and unconditioned awareness expresses itself through and as each one of us.

Please note: This is a live recording.

I’ve listened to most things by Eckhart and I love this recording. I think older ones are particularly good. Not sure why though.

Eckhart is so funny, when he calmly without ego explains the human condition which afflicts all of us. From his vantage point it looks so easy and of course it is, we just get so court up in ego play and sudo importance. A memorable read.

Profound and funny

I get it that it's a quiet time for slow and present being but it's very distracting the white noise and really not happy with it being that way

Terrible background noise
