Eckhart Tolle
German based in Vancouver. Age 29 “profound spiritual transformation, the next years devoted to integration.” On, eg, relationship: “If you accept that relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation. For those who hold to the old patterns, there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness.” Big book = Power of Now, satsangs, workshops, varied approach. Not much info. Some disciples also in the biz. Sterling rep, benefit of doubt. Some history in this interview, including Barry Long in 80’s, said to have inspired him to become a spiritual teacher, and MORE history, a jaded view.
