Are you looking for an effortless way to experience the joy and tranquility of your true inner self? Would you like to dissolve the “sticking points” that block you from your own awakening? Elaborating on many of the same concepts explored by Eckhart Tolle, our guest, spiritual teacher Matt Khan, guides us through a surprisingly simple, fun, and non-denominational path towards effortless freedom, presence, and inner peace. On this recording of our May 3rd, 2011 teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Matt Kahn, a spiritual teacher, mystic, and intuitive healer who travels the world inviting seekers of all faiths to discover their true divine nature. Matt’s upcoming book, “Effortless Freedom – A Timeless Dialogue of Life’s Deepest Teachings,” served as a springboard for our discussion as we continued our journey of exploring teachings beyond Eckhart Tolle. We invite you to listen and put into practice the wisdom and guidance that Matt offers during this conversation.

Do you feel called to help more people in their spiritual journey, to contribute to the awakening of humanity, to share a message of hope and transformation, or build a community of like-minded spiritual friends? Are you looking for inspiration and support to go from hiding to shining by stepping into your power as a spiritual teacher, coach, healer or conscious entrepreneur? On this recording of our November 2, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Brendon Lumgair, a spiritual teacher and entrepreneur, to talk about the journey of honoring that call from within to serve at a deeper level and share your gifts with the world. Brendon shared for the first time his journey from reading “The Power of Now” in a College Philosophy class 10 years ago, to teaching over 25,000 people how to use Presence Power to de-stress, sleep better, and find themselves again through his websites: aNewEarth.com and AwakenedAction.com During the course of the call we share how to: let your light shine publicly and stop hiding behind other teachers, gurus or false beliefs of “I’m not spiritual / enlightened enough yet… maybe when I get another certificate in (blank), then I can start” be in the flow with the natural evolution of becoming a Spiritual Teacher, Facilitator, Coach, Healer, or Conscious Entrepreneur recognize the subtle traps of Spiritual-Egoism that can sabotage your success respond from Presence to glorious praise and pain-body criticism use your website, blog and social media as a powerful vehicle for your expression and to impact people around the world like no generation could ever dream of before Finally, here are some recommended resources mentioned during the teleseminar: Practicing Presence: A Guide for the Spiritual Teacher and Health Practitioner (Eckhart Tolle) Hosting an Eckhart Tolle Local Group Let Your Light Shine Online.com (Brendon's new website and service) Meetup.com (great website/tool for organizing local events) We invite you to listen with an open mind, as the ego may want to shine but fiercely resist actually dong so.  We also encourage you to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of stepping into your power and letting your light shine! Peace, Leo & Greg About Our Guest Brendon had a profound Awakening experience while attending a live talk with Eckhart Tolle in 2001. When he sat with Eckhart in Presence he came to know his True Self. He knew himself, life, and the world, in a whole new way. Brendon has degrees in engineering and philosophy. He went on to work as an engineer in the corporate world for five years where he practiced presence in the work place. Brendon’s outer purpose was revealed to him while attending a retreat with Eckhart Tolle in Costa Rica in 2004. His outer purpose is to help awaken consciousness on the planet. A key tool is utilizing the power of the internet and technology. Brendon and a friend then started a community organization called Calgary-Satsang.com to promote and host weekend retreats with spiritual teachers from the United States, Canada and Europe. In 2004, Brendon was asked to give satsang by Pamela Wilson. He began giving satsang and teaching meditation and yoga as part of supporting people in awakening. Brendon took “The Leap” in 2008 by quitting his “secure” engineering career to live his life’s purpose of creating AwakenedAction.com to connect people around the world with today’s leading spiritual teachers and build a global community of Truth. Brendon and his wife Christine now empower other conscious entrepreneurs by building them websites and providing the marketing strategies and tools they need to live their purpose and make a good living so they don’t have to go back to unconscious jobs.

How can eating raw food and detoxifying the body by cleansing or fasting help you experience presence at a deeper level? On this recording of our September 7, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Dhrumil Purohit to explore how eating more consciously and cleansing the body or fasting can support a deeper experience of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. Dhrumil is a founding partner at the Clean Program and the Chief Community Organizer behind We Like It Raw. Dhrumil is passionate about the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and guiding people and communities through the world of holistic healing and spiritual living. In our conversation, Dhrumil shares how he came to the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and his journey of bringing awareness to his food choices.  He talks about the fact that food is information, and how that information affects our genes and the possibility for positive and negative results. We also talked about how food can amplify your presence and he offers a simple place to start:  green smoothie.  One goal for eating raw food, cleansing, and green smoothies is to taste what true health feels like, just like meditation allows you to sense what presence feels like. This was a very informative interview and Dhrumil's approach is very gentle, so you are not going to be forced to believe a set way of thinking, Dhrumil is a great ambassador for eating living food and cleansing, and his tools are simply good information and a lot of inspiration! Here are some recommended resources mentioned during the teleseminar: Dr. Alejandro Junger Dr. Frank Lipman Kathy Freston - Quantum Cleanse Donna Gates - Body Ecology We invite you to listen with an open mind, as our food choices come from a lot of conditioning and the egoic structures that support those choices can be very rigid. We also encourage you to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of health, well-being, and spiritual growth. Peace, Leo & Greg   About Our Guest Dhrumil Purohit, is a simple sherpa who enjoys guiding people and communities through the world of holistic healing and spiritual living.

Can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle help dissolve the personal and collective gay pain-body? Is being gay a help or hindrance to spiritual awakening? Does the label “Gay” limit a deeper experience of the true essence of life? On this recording of our August 3, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Richard "Nick" Fyffe to explore what the teachings of Eckhart Tolle say about being gay, the possibilities for healing, being honest, living an authentic life, and spiritual awakening. In our conversation, we discussed how the process of labeling people (and ourselves) in general can often lead to an overidentification with the egoic label itself. We also talked about how the gay man, though a heightened sensitivity to difference, might in fact be closer to appreciating the different forms that are all expressions of a unified life force that bonds us all together as one. Nick is a Peace Minister with the non-denominational, interfaith Beloved Community. As a Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking, Nick works with other gay men who find themselves in the grips of Christian fundamentalism, and especially men who are now in traditional marriages and find themselves living a lie. This was a deeply moving interview with a ton of great insights for healing the gay pain-body and living your truth. We invite you to listen with an open heart, and to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of hope, healing, and love. Peace, Leo & Greg About Our Guest Richard “Nick” Fyffe, Peace Minister, likes nothing more than regarding himself as a “regular Joe”….”I find it more and more “extraordinary” to be “ordinary”….How liberating it is to “come without credentials” without the labels that one imposes on oneself or the labels society loves to put in place”. Just a bit about Nick. Nick is from Ohio but has lived in Arizona for 6 years with his partner Brian. They have been together 10 years. After graduating high school, Nick married very young at age 18, and soon after had 2 sons. When he was “outed” as a gay, he divorced at age 23. Years and decades of self-judgment, family rejection and the loss of visitation with his sons, depression deepened and manifested in a self-induced Christian fundamentalist mindset. The combination of being gay and Christian launched him into a deep spiritual quest for relief from his depression. During this time Nick was engrossed in his working career of nearly 30 years with AT&T. Then came along Eckhart Tolle…..life changed…quickly at first, then some back sliding and little by little things started shifting. “I’ve allowed the thought (forms) of others to manage my entire life…and worse yet…I adopted them as my own”…..an intense study of Eckhart’s teachings followed, along with the teachings of Krishnamurt, one of Echhart’s often quoted spiritual teachers. This brings us to the present period when Nick was recently ordained as a “Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking” or “Peace Minister” after completion of seminary studies with the “Beloved Community Seminary” (a non-denominations interfaith seminary). Nick’s Peace Ministry has been focusing primarily on working with other gay men, who find themselves in the grips of Christian fundamentalism and especially men who are now in traditional marriages and find themselves living a lie. Those who married because their religion told them to do so or they followed societies traditional “Thinking”….JUST LIKE NICK DID. Nick can be reached at nickfyffe (at) aol.com.

On this recording of our March 2, 2010, teleseminar, Are you suffering from an addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, or eating? How can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle help support you? How can you find the spiritual path to recovery? On this recording of our March 2, 2010, teleseminar, we discuss addiction and recovery with special guest Peter Marinelli. In this conscious conversation about addiction and recovery,  Peter shares from a deep place of experience and wisdom how the Twelve Step Program and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle have helped and inspired him to find a deeply spiritual path to recovery. It is evident he "walks the talk" when it comes to practicing spiritual disciplines for cultivating permanent sobriety. Peter shares stories about his own process of recovery.  He explains how seeking information is not enough. Rather, it is seeking an experience with the information, and seeking an experience with the God of your understanding, that leads to inner transformation. Peter is very versed with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and the power of discovering silence, stillness, presence, and the now for growing spiritually. This interview has generated a lot of buzz and we highly recommend making some space in your life to take a listen! Peace, Leo & Greg Now for more on our guest: Peter Marinelli has been sober over 21 years and has dedicated his life to helping others recover from alcoholism and drug addiction. As an international circuit speaker, Peter has given hundreds of talks across the US and Europe on subjects related to recovery. He has spoken at numerous treatment centers, universities and before medical organizations to both suffers and clinicians alike. Peter has also been invited to speak for the National Council on Alcoholism and been a guest on talk radio (Afflicted and Affected) and done workshops on Spiritual Transformation for various religious organizations. Peter has spent the majority of his sobriety in the Treatment Industry and his mission is to help addicts and alcoholics recover from their fatal illness.

Do you have a purposeful relationship that provides "space" for you and your partner to grow in Presence Power? In this recording of our Dec 1 Teleseminar, we discuss how Eckhart Tolle's teachings can help us understand romantic relationships as a powerful catalyst for spiritual transformation. What is the purpose of your relationship? Do you have a purposeful relationship that provides "space" for you and your partner to grow in Presence Power? Are you providing support that nurtures your partner's inner and outer purpose? What does the support you need look like for you? This is the recording of our December 1, 2009 Living With Tolle Teleseminar call with special guests Brendon and Christine Lumgair from www.AwakenedAction.com, and Greg's wife, Dr. Sarah Larsen. On page 133 of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shares how transformative relationships can be: “When your partner behaves unconsciously, relinquish all judgment... To relinquish all judgment does not mean that you do not recognize dysfunction and unconsciousness when you see it. It means "being the knowing" rather than "being the reaction" and the judge... Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists.” Are you able to "be in the knowing" and relinquish all judgment about your partner? Are you able to just be present and offer them "a clear space of loving presence"? All of this and more on this recording of our December 1st Teleseminar.

How often do your thought & mental stories prevent you from taking action? Does incessant thinking create anxiety & prevent you from enjoying the present moment? Does the smoke screen of your thoughts prevent you from knowing your true yourself? All this and more on the recording of our October 6th Teleseminar. On page 21 of A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle points to a key transformation central to all of his teachings: “...at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of thought, the newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought. You then no longer derive your identity, your sense of who you are, from the incessant stream of thinking that in the old consciousness you take to be yourself.” In fact, on page 22, he goes on to explain why it is essential that we collectively learn to transcend thought, and what happens when we don't: "...complete identification with form -physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms... results in a total unawareness of my connectedness with the whole, my instrinsic oneness with every "other" as well as with the Source. This forgetfulness is original sin, delusion, suffering. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create? To find out the answer to this, observe how humans relate to each other, read a history book, or watch the news on television tonight." Read this selection again carefully. When we forget our connectedness, our oneness with everyone, and with life itself, what happens? Complete identification with our thoughts is one way to forget this oneness, one path to suffering. Identifying with incessant thought is forgetting the vastness of all that lies beyond thought: a vast interconnected Being-ness that is peacecully all-inclusive. Ultimately, it is Love. On our October 6th teleseminar, we were joined by Michael Jeffreys,  organizer of the Santa Monica Eckhart Tolle Meetup and author of “Success Secrets of the Motivational Superstars.” In a lively conversation, we explore how incessant thinking prevents us from taking action, prevent us from enjoying the present moment, and, ultimately, hide our recognition of our oneness with Life. We also discuss strategies for breaking through the illusion of thought, dismantling illusions of form, and experiencing the peace and beauty of being One with Life.
