Mastering the Power of Now - Free Online Course

I received this e-mail recently and am compelled to share it, as I think it looks like it will be an amazing resource, and best of all, FREE! Bill Harris of the Centerpointe Institute has put together a free online course exploring the ideas of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, with interviews with some amazing teachers.

The course has only just started, the first interview being with Genpo Roshi, a Zen master, talking about getting into the state of being present, or in the Now, and about finding that balance between the Ego and the Non-Ego. It's all completely free, and you can still enrol, so I really encourage anyone interested in expanding their consciousness to take a look.

The e-mail I received and the link to the course follow:

Subject: Bill's 6-lesson (no-charge) Eckhart Tolle online course


I'd like to invite you to experience, as my gift to you, a
FREE online course I've created…Mastering Eckhart
Tolle's The Power of Now.

So many people have told me that they loved Eckhart
Tolle's books (The Power of Now and A New Earth)
and his online presentations with Oprah, but have had
trouble actually PRACTICING (and in some cases,
understanding) what Tolle talks about.

To solve that problem, I decided to get together several
of the most amazing awakened teachers I know to help
you understand what Tolle is talking about and help you
begin practicing and embodying what he is teaching,
right now.

In this FREE course (which you can share with as many
people as you want), six world-famous spiritual teachers
and I will discuss what you can do right now to experience
the spiritual awakening described by Eckhart Tolle in The
Power of Now
, A New Earth, and his online lessons with
Oprah.

I've chosen teachers who I know embody the awareness
Tolle is talking about, and who are masters at teaching it:

  • Zen master Genpo Roshi, creator of the Big Mind
    process, a method for quickly experiencing profound
    transcendent states of awareness (what Tolle calls
    Presence) usually taking decades to master…
  • Ken Wilber, world-famous philosopher, author,
    spiritual teacher, and founder of Integral Institute,
    Integral Life, and the Integral Spiritual Center…
  • Renowned spiritual teacher and meditation master,
    Diane Hamilton
  • Enlightenment teachers, authors, and workshop leaders,
    Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder
  • Sally Kempton, Yoga Journal columnist and one
    of today's most insightful and experienced teachers
    of meditation and spiritual growth…
  • And me!
Among the many things you'll learn from these amazing teachers:
  • The transformational power of the Now and
    how you can experience it…

  • Gettting out of your mind and into the Now…
  • What Eckhart Tolle calls Presence, and how
    to access it…
  • Using your body to enter the Now…
  • The source of suffering and emotional pain,
    and how to end it…

  • Transforming fear into peace…
  • Why Time is an illusion, and how it keeps
    you from the Now…

  • How you can step out of the world of Problems….
  • How to free yourself from unhappiness…
  • The power of Now and relationships…
  • Finding your purpose…
  • Plus, keys to awakening Eckhart Tolle didn't
    mention…
  • And much more.

You'll enjoy six weekly 60 to 90 minute audio lessons,
one each week for six weeks. Each lesson is an unedited
and spontaneous conversation with me and a world-famous
spiritual teacher who embodies and teaches the awakened
spiritual awareness Eckhart Tolle discusses in his best-selling
books, The Power of Now and A New Earth, and in his
online lessons with Oprah Winfrey.

These lessons contain additional explanation and practical
suggestions you can use right now to awaken to who
you really are and create a life of happiness and inner peace.

I thought I'd have to charge a significant amount of money
for this course, but when the other teachers volunteered
their time and expertise, I quickly changed my mind.
Oprah has put an enlightened teacher on television in
front of millions of people. This is a hugely positive event
in the history of the world.

A way of living that, up to now, has been discussed in
just a few subcultures such as Integral Institute, Centerpointe,
and a few other communities, is now in full view of popular
culture.

This is a huge opportunity for the world--and for you.

I want as many people as possible to experience this
information, so I--and the other teachers--are giving
this information away, as our gift to
the world.

Please don't miss this opportunity to bring The Power
of Now
into your life. Register for these lessons right away.

You can download them to your iPod or other device, or
listen online. You'll also get a handsome transcript of each
lesson making it easier to review and master the information
it contains.

As you'll soon discover, this course is unlike anything else
you've ever experienced. You really can live from the
place Tolle talks about--the Now moment. When you
do, everything changes.

With these six amazing awakened teachers, I want to
show you how.

To enroll, and to immediately begin experiencing your
first lesson--again, at no charge whatsoever, as our gift
to you--just go to: http://www.masteringthepowerofnow.com/.

And please tell EVERYONE you know about this course.
Open your address book and send this email to everyone.
This is something we really want to spread around the world.

Be well.

Bill
