"The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some super human accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and
It may not shock you that I’m a big fan of Eckhart Tolle, if you’ve been following the blog. We had a link up to this interview on our previous website “Passion for Health,” which somehow got lost in the move.
If you have an interest in spirituality, this is NOT TO BE MISSED!
I have both [...]
Written in 1999, Eckhart Tolle’s book Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment is one of the best sellers in Amazon and it was also featured on the New York Times bestseller list. It is a self help book intended as a shortcut for spiritual enlightenment. The central theme of the book is [...]
The other night I was being interviewed on WGN in Chicago and the one and only topic of conversation was The Dark Knight.We were basically talking about how great the movie is, how Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar nomination and all that jazz… when the host suddenly said: “You know, our station Film Critic said the only thing that was really horribly about The Dark Knight was Aaron Eckhart as Ha
ACTOR Aaron Eckhart, who plays Gotham district attorney Harvey Dent in upcoming Batman sequel The Dark Knight, has his eye on another comicbook adaptation - Green Lantern. Eckhart, 40, whose character comes up against Batman in The Dark Knight, told...
El actor Aaron Eckhart está en boca de todos últimamente porque interpreta a Harvey Dent en "El Caballero Oscuro", y en la película se acabará convirtiendo finalmente en Harvey Dos Caras. Sin embargo el actor tiene más ganas de participar en películas de superhéroes, e incluso protagonizarlas.Hay rumores que señalan que el actor sería el perfecto Capitán América, pero éste admitió que
Today, I spent quality time in the garden. It was about 75, crisp and sunny...the raspberries and strawberries are just starting to ripen. I rolled along on my little garden cart, leaning over to weed the berries...and noticing a really...
¿Acaso la visión de la nueva tierra no es más que otra visión utópica? De ninguna manera. Todas las utopías tienen en común una proyección mental de un futuro en el que todo será perfecto, todos nos salvaremos, habrá paz y armonía y desaparezcan todos nuestros problemas. De esas utopías ha habido muchas; algunas terminaron en desilusión y otras en desastre.Todas las utopías tienen en
La mañana se ha despertado bastante interesante. En primer lugar, comencemos con unas declaraciones del actor Aaron Eckhart, encargado de interpretar al personaje Harvey Dos Caras en la película "The Dark Knight" ("El Caballero Oscuro").Te puedo contar que, básicamente, cuando veas a Dos Caras, se te debería revolver el estómago -declara Aaron Eckhart-. Ser el tio detrás de todo esto, hace que esto sea muy divertido para mi. Es igual a como te sentirías tú si conoces a alquien cuya cara ha sido arrancada o quemada con ácido. Hay fans en internet que han hecho versiones artísticas de como ellos creen que será, y puedo decirte esto: Ellos han pensado poco, Chris [Nolan] va a ir mucho más lejos que lo la gente piensa.Desde luego, estas declaraciones elevan las ganas de los fans po

La vida, ya sea de una especie o de una forma individual, muere, o se extingue, o se impone por encima de las limitaciones de su condición por medio de un salto evolutivo siempre que se ve enfrentada a una crisis radical, cuando ya no funciona la forma anterior de ser en el mundo o de relacionarse con otras formas de vida y con la naturaleza, o cuando la supervivencia se ve amenazada por problemas aparentemente insuperables.Se cree que las formas de vida que habitan este planeta evolucionaron primero en el mar. Cuando todavía no había animales en la superficie de la tierra, el mar estaba lleno de vida. Entonces, en algún momento, alguna de las criaturas se aventuró a salir a la tierra seca. Quizás se arrastró primero unos cuantos centímetros hasta que, agobiada por la enorme atracc
El actor Aaron Eckhart ha hablado con el portal WizardUniverse.com sobre su participación en la película "The Dark Knight" al interpretar al personaje Harvey Dent, futuro villano Harvey Dos Caras. Con anterioridad ya os confirmé la implicación del villano en la película. El actor lo ha vuelto a confirmar. A continuación, las traducción de algunas de las preguntas que le hicieron al actor, entre ellas donde hace la confirmación. Lógicamente, esta entrevista contiene algunas revelaciones (SPOILERS) sobre el villano.Wizard Universe: El director Christopher Nolan dijo que ve a Dos Caras y Harvey Dent como la columna vertebral de Dark Knight. ¿Has sacado la inspiración de los cómics o de las películas antiguas?Aaron Eckhart: Chris Nolan ha abordado al personaje desde diferentes pun
The movie follows the story of a self-help guru who realises that he needs a bit of help himself. Although the story sounds like a comedy, the film is more on the lines of a drama.Aniston will play a floral designer who works in a Seattle hotel where Eckhart’s self-help guru is giving a talk about coping with grief. As Aniston’s character gets to know him more she “factors heavily into the guru’s realisation that he practises none of the principles he preaches”In English, that translates to: Aniston’s character helps him realise he’s a mess who hasn’t got over his wife’s death.I think that this movie could prove to be a great drama, Aniston was great in The Good Girl and was good in Friends With Money. Brandon Camp is directing from a script written by Camp and Mike Thompson.
Washington, Sept 26 (ANI): Jennifer Aniston has signed on to star opposite Aaron Eckhart in the Universal Pictures' drama Traveling.
The movie will mark Brandon Camp's directorial debut, and was co-written by him and by longtime writing partner Mike Thompson.
In the film, Aniston will be playing a floral designer who works in a Seattle hotel where a charismatic self-help guru is conducting a

Paycheck's Aaron Eckhart is in negotiations to take the role of Gotham City's district attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two Face in Warner Brother's sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight.
Tommy Lee Jones took up the role of Harvey Dent in 1995's Batman Forever. Christopher Nolan is to direct again. Christian bale will again don the cowl, and Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman , and Michael Caine will also be reprising their roles. Heath Ledger has also signed up to play the Joker.
Enlightenment as Eckhart Tolle describes it, though actually Tolle says more about what enlightenment is not. Strephon explores some of the logical fallacies in Tolle's thought.***In this second talk by Strephon on Eckhart Tolle we explore Tolle's concept of enlightenment.We learn also about the logical fallacy of Definition By Negation that Tolle and society use, such as trying to say that infinity is the opposite of finite without defining infinity in terms of itself but as the negation of finite.Thus when Tolle defines enlightenment as the absence of mind, thinking, understanding, then he is trying to define one thing as the negation or opposite of another.Strephon, by contrast offers his own functional definition of enlightenment in terms of itself as an experience.Yet why should anyone want enlightenment anyway, at least in Tolle's terms, if you have to give up clear thinking as one aid to understanding who you are and what your life is all about.Strephon suggests prefer to und
