The only way to really improve your life is to live in the Now. Tolle argues that there is nothing wrong with attempting to set goals to improve situations but the mistake that people make is trying to change to fulfill their Being. Life is described as the deepest inner Being of a person–it is already complete and perfect. #7 You can improve your life situation but you cannot improve your life The author tries to articulate the nothing will ever happen in the future, when the future arrives it will become the Now. What occurred in the past, was happening in the Now and what will happen in the future will also be in the Now. Tolle explains that the past and the future are essentially nonexistent. The author explains that as humans we should not be preoccupied with anything but the Now. This also stems from not being fully present, when you are present you allow your mind to exist, but you don’t try to find yourself within it, allowing it to be a tool to you.

The author claims that the mind resists the Now because it functions when it is in control of the past and the future–and as we know, the Now cannot exist when you are focused on the past and future.

Enlightenment is essentially being at peace, and in full acceptance, with yourself and is the most natural state of Being. Your mind using you is a disease–and he claims a disease occurs when there is an imbalance between things.Įnlightenment is defined as the end of suffering as well as the end of the “enslavement” of thinking. Believing that you are your mind is a delusion because you are not using it at all. Tolle claims that it is not you that uses your mind but rather your mind uses you.
