For the first twenty nine years of Eckhart Tolle’s life he lived in a state of conflict, deep unhappiness and depression until one morning he woke and had the following thought:
“I can not live with my self”
Then, a shift occurred within him. He began to question who was the “I” that had that thought and who was the “self” in that statement. He came to the conclusion that the self was his continuous stream of thoughts and the I was the space or consciousness that was observing or aware of his thoughts. Prior to that moment, there had been no separation between his identity and his thoughts which lead to constant torment. After he realized that his true identity is something greater than his thoughts, he began to experience a great peace.
This is similar to what one goes through during a Dark Night of the Soul as a person questions who they are, or more importantly WHAT they are. It can be a painful process to realize that WHAT we are is far greater than our body, thoughts, fears, desires and attachments…But, as we gradually let go of our identity with our ego’s thoughts, fears, desires, programming…what is left is the purity and radiance of our most authentic Self which is in complete Union with the Presence of our Divine Source.
In the interview below, Eckhart Tolle speaks about some of his childhood experiences that led to his Dark Night of the Soul and how he eventually let go of his deep unhappiness to experience a state of peace.

Dannion Brinkley has had three near death experiences (NDE), including one where he was struck by lightning and pronounced dead for almost 30 minutes. Skeptics dispute near death experiences by saying it is simply imagination or caused by a malfunction in the brain. However, skeptics can not dispute the transformation that takes place in survivors of near death experiences. Nearly all people who go through an NDE come away from it profoundly changed with a peace that passes all understanding, a fearless outlook on life and death, and typically a completely new way of living their life. Most people would agree that imagination or a malfunction in the brain can not cause these type of major transformational life changes to take place…
Probably the most interesting NDE account I heard was from a man who was an atheist who had a near death experience. He reported that he went to a place that could be traditionally described as ‘Hell’ where he was biting his ankles. Then he heard a voice that asked him to pray for the ‘Light of God to intervene’. After hearing this voice the man prayed for the Light of God to intervene and was then taken to the Light. After his near-death experience, the man became a Rev. and devoted his life to serving the spiritual needs of others–when he was previously an atheist before his near-death experience. The fascinating part about this story was that the man had a choice in the matter and his choice made all the difference in the world…
In the five minute interview below, Dannion Brinkley talks about the impact his near death experience had on the way he lives his life.

This documentary examines all the theories that have led some people to believe the end of the world is near and speaks to the belief that the 2012 phenomenon could be an inner spiritual revolution for humanity. The trailer for 2012: Science or Superstition is below.

It is rare that one date in time, Dec. 21, 2012, can capture the attention of so many cultures, religions, scientists, authors and even Hollywood. Hollywood is releasing a blockbuster in November about how 2012 could be a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world. The new trailer for 2012 is below…If this date is receiving this much attention now, one can only wonder what will happen after the release of this movie and especially during the few months preceding Dec. 21, 2012.

The cartoon below attempts to explain the ‘observer effect’ using animated quantum physics. If you liked What the Bleep, then you will love this cartoon. It uses quantum physics to show that when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at begin to change. Scientists still do not know exactly why, but when a wave function is not observed it remains a wave. However, when a wave is observed, it turns into a particle.
Many personal development authors, theologians, and quantum physicists cite this research as a scientific explanation for the law of attraction, power of intention or more traditionally why prayer can lead to unexplainable healing. It is unclear to what extent our thoughts, intentions, prayers, and consciousness impact our physical reality; however, it is clear and has been shown with double blind experiments that what is held in the mind does impact our physical reality and also tends to manifest in our life when the conditions are appropriate.
