And more from the Origins website: Our Philosophy Origins’ recovery philosophy embodies a complete return to the historical foundation of the original recovery movement. Our belief is that alcoholics and drug addicts are in the grip of a progressive illness of the mind, body and spirit… There is the obsession of the mind, the allergy of the body and a spiritual discomfort which, when operating in concert, effectively doom the sufferer… In order to recover, the individual must address his spiritual unrest by developing and experiencing a different way of life… Our Program - The Origins ExperienceTM The Origins Experience™ is a profound immersion in the vital spiritual disciplines outlined in the Twelve Steps, which when taken together, bring about deep change, personal renewal and permanent sobriety. In addition to a variety of other wellness practices, Origins specifically focuses its Residents on the transformative work necessary to create and enjoy long-term sobriety… We look forward to hearing from you on the teleseminar!

Mulvihill is the creator and star of the educational DVD Living Luminaries: On the Serious Business of Happiness” (which features Eckhart Tolle in his first U.S. feature film appearance). Eight years ago, The Power of Now awakened an emphatic voice for truth in this young actor from Chicago, who had recently graduated from the USC School of Theatre in Los Angeles. “What I found out was that we all know the truth, and to be ignorant of that truth is really just to consciously ignore that truth,” he related to Living With Tolle co-host, Greg Larsen, “I am an actor, so it was intriguing to me to realize that we are all pretending not to know why we are suffering. Depending on the density of the ego, this ignorance can play a variety of roles. I am convinced that in the first ten minutes of meeting with me, most people could change from playing a false role to truly becoming the star of their own lives.” The blissful nature of Sean has to be experienced to be believed, and the list is long of those who swear he possesses spiritual gifts. Uncover your true stardom by enrolling in his one-on-one “awakening” program, Star Sessions, today.

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.

We discuss the oneness of Life, and how “other people” are just different manifestations of the one life force. With this awareness, meeting new people becomes a joyous and conscious practice in honoring the life force within all of us.

He goes on to share his new awareness that these other people are different aspects of the oneness that “I am.” The challenge continues to be the ego and the preconceived notions, judgments, and stereotypes that the ego uses to maintain separateness. But with the new awareness of the oneness that we are, these differences quickly disappear. Greg discusses teachings of non-dualism, such as Eckhart Tolle’s, and how they point to this thrust of the ego to protect and solidify its separateness. The ego’s need for self defense limits a broader perspective, an awareness of this oneness, and clings to thoughts that differentiate, puff up, and enhance the identity of the ego. Leo shares a practical approach to meeting new people. Observe how all of the uniqueness you spot in other people are simply manifestations of life playing through form. Try to see these people as life energy and be aware of the egoic judgments going on in your mind. Being aware of both the judgments and the how life is playing will help shift how you relate to the people around you. Greg shares an explanation of forgiveness as the ability to look past the conditioning or the dysfunction of another person to perceive the life force that lies at the essence of their being. From this level of consciousness, everyone you meet is already forgiven because the essence, the loving nature of every human, is acknowledge – and not their conditioning. And a step further is to look at how your stories are being projected onto another – even though that judgment or expectation isn’t necessarily true? Leo and Greg go on to talk about dating and meeting new people. Meeting people from a state of consciousness and presence will enable you to fully explore the connection that is there with everyone you meet. Being in the Now can allow you to enjoy dating without any expectations. Also, meeting people from a state of presence will allow you to be assured in your awareness if that person is not “the one.” How can you trust your intuition to sense and accept the reality that your date may not be your idealized “soul mate”? Presence and consciousness will allow you to refrain from [...] Learn how cultivating presence, accepting the Now, and being aware of the one Life that we all are, will allow you to meet and enjoy the people around you in completely new ways.

Do you want to understand why you lay awake at night? Do you want to overcome insomnia? Join us and special guest, Brendon Lumgair, as we discuss how to access Presence in the midst of nighttime restlessness to feel re-energized and fully awake come morning, even if you only “sleep” a wink. All this and more on the recording of our November 3rd Teleseminar. On page 110 of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle reveals how transformative the experience of dreamless sleep can be: “You take a journey into the Unmanifested every night when you enter the phase of deep dreamless sleep. You merge wit the Source. You draw from it the vital energy that sustains you for a while when you return to the manifested, the world of separate forms.” We encourage you to read then entire section on Dreamless Sleep for further insight. Brendon Lumgair is a spiritual teacher and creator of the website www.aNewEarth.com and his newest website www.AwakenedAction.com. Brendon brings to the conversation a wealth of scientific information on the various stages of sleep that transpire during the course of the night. If you are not getting a good night sleep, a natural progression through the stages of sleep are never achieved and that deep connection to the Source that should naturally occur every night may be interrupted unnaturally by stress and anxious thoughts. We also explore the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and how they can support achieving a deep restful night of sleep and renewed energy.

Nature can be a portal to the now by inspiring “breath-taking” moments of no thought – drawing out the presence within us. The lack of ego in nature makes natural beauty available, aware, giving and receiving. Nature is all around us in the form or plants or flowers, trees, water, and giving your conscious attention to these forms of natural beauty will allow you to engage these forms without thought – to sense their aliveness, beauty, and design. Whether you live in a large city or the country, how can you begin to interact with nature in a more conscious way? Pets are reflections of presence – reflections that evoke presence to emerge within us. They are mirrors and reminders of our own natural ability to live from the present moment. Leo shares his experience with his eight month old son and how babies also serve as precious reminders of our natural state – with no back story or compulsive thinking about the future. Indeed, The life force within a baby that is so captivating or breathtaking, is the same force of life within your spouse, boss, friend, and yourself. By consciously appreciating the presence and aliveness of nature, pets, and small children, we naturally begin to honor the inner life force within other human beings – and ultimately within ourselves. Questions for deeper reflection: What forms of nature are in your daily surroundings? How can you be conscious of nature, pets, or children, so they can serve as true reminders of presence?

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.

On the first Tuesday, we are joined by a special guest. On the third Tuesday, Greg leads us through an exploration of a specific aspect of Eckhart’s teachings, a Q&A, and a guided inner body meditation. Key Insights From This Call Maggie Wilkins is the founder of One-Heart Teachings and facilitator of Eckhart Tolle-based groups since 2002. Maggie was blessed with an opportunity to work closely with Eckhart Tolle in the early 2000’s, before the Power of Now was published by Namaste Publishing. She shares her experiences working and nurturing Eckhart early in his career. Maggie shares her observations about today’s culture of speed and over-achievement. Based on her personal life and on experiences shared by clients, she notes that in this age of speed and complexity, there is an ever growing need for stillness and simplicity. Maggie shares how she’s used Eckhart Tolle’s teachings to develop a very simple mantra that helps her find the simplicity and stillness in her life. She repeatedly asks a very simple question: What is most important in this moment right now? Is it most important to run my child to soccer so I can run more errands, etc? Or is it more important to make time to cook together, sit down and talk about day, have friends over for dinner… What is most important right now? What is required now? Some things we do in our daily routines may have looked important at some point, but they may now be damaging. A conscious shift within, one towards stillness, simplicity, closeness, and presence, will gradually manifest a shift on the outside, including new connections, new priorities, new closeness, less anxiety, more stillness and inner peace. Ask yourself: What is required now? Focusing on your inner body awareness, through your breath, can also help you assess your life each moment around this question. As you evolve into an inner awareness, you may realize that certain patterns may not be needed any more. Ask yourself: What are some patterns that are emerging within me, the new consciousness emerging through each of us… are those old routines, habits, still required… is this required? If not, then allow it to shed, so you can be space for this new consciousness to emerge through you. As you ask yourself What is required now?, you will become conscious of your life. You will become aware of where your pains are and aware of what’s causing the physical and emotional pains in your life. This awareness is the first step to growing in presence power, creating the space for a grand shift in your life. As you ask yourself again: “What is required now?” consider this: Do I really need to continue on with this? Why am I saying yes to this still? Allow and give space to changes that are happening. Be aware that as you start moving into an inner shift towards what is required in your life, as you shed old restrictive habits, this can create some space in our lives. It’s ok to have empty space in our lives… there will be a tendency to fill that space with things to do… but having space is OK. This may be uncomfortable! (That’s the ego not content with the present moment. The conditioned self.) Allow the molecules around you to just be with you. It’s ok to be. Moving back to the stillness from the hectic [...] This is the recording of the September 1st Living With Tolle Teleseminar.

Greg and Leo in Laguna Beach, CA | Living With Tolle #15 In this special video podcast from California, we begin by sharing how life has been calling us to serve through unique projects that are independent of Living with Tolle, but were inspired by Tolle’s teachings.

Leo talks about his work designing two new Eckhart Tolle iPhone Applications: The Power of Now Meditation Deck and The Power of Now Inspiration Deck.

Reflecting on deeper questions of life, such as “how is life calling me to serve?” and cultivating presence so you can be in a space to allow creative reply from Life to flow into your life. Your deepening presence will also allow you to sense the egoic driven fears and then rise into action from a state of conscious awareness. By accepting the fear, or the crisis that may be triggering the fear, you will more easily discover the solutions to alleviate it. As you grow in what Tolle calls “presence power” you will naturally become more receptive to how Life is calling you to serve and live a life of deeper meaning and purpose. Complaining or venting may appear to be “letting off steam,” but in reality, it ends up contaminating your field of presence and preventing the solutions from being perceived and put to use. Complaining does not solve anything and shuts down the full potential of your creativity. It is fuel for the ego and all complaints, big or small, keep you from living your full potential. New opportunities to create and contribute are always available to you. A constant focus on the past or future, or a continual complaint about the present moment, close off the doors of opportunity and those “beyond my imagination” discoveries.

Use awareness, be the silent watcher, watch and question your thoughts, do not let them control you. Witness how your pain body is activated, how your deepest fears are agitated, and how you are reacting to the economic situation around you. Cultivate acceptance to foster a more conscious decision making process as you face economic hardships. From this state of acceptance, not resistance, you can interact with your life situation dynamically and will be open to discovering new ways in which life is calling you to serve. We have an opportunity to look at our deeper purpose in life. Be aware of how your sense of ego or your “economic self” is shaping the ways you face your current situation. Realize that you are not your life stories, or the past, or the future, or your home, or your career, or your economic situation. Look beyond your individual sense of self. Look beyond our collective definitions of who we are - they are temporary (and unsustainable). Connect to a deeper level of life and move beyond the thoughts and stories of your ego. You are life itself. Life expressed in form. There is no lack in life force. The one Source of Life that is never ending, never depleting, never in a recession. It is ever-flowing.

How can I use my economic situation to cultivate awareness? 2. How can I play with form? How can I re-invent myself? How can I explore this world of forms differently? How can I connect with my family, with my community, with other forms around me? How can I be a better friend? 3. Who am I? What am I?

During the month of April, you, our listeners, can help us grow by making a donation online. To show our gratitude, we are offering two special thank you gifts for those who donate: a video meditation and a tele-seminar led by Greg. Thank you in advance for all your support and for helping us continue to grow. The Pain Body in Those Around Us (at Minute 9:00) We begin the discussion by sharing that a lot of recent listener feedback has been around the topic of other people’s pain-bodies. The common refrain in all of these inquires has been: “I see them suffering and I want to help.” As we awaken, through the teachings of Eckhart Tolle or other teachings, and cultivate a deeper level of awareness into the causes of our suffering, we naturally want to extend this wisdom or knowledge to those that we love and see suffering. And if the teachings of Eckhart Tolle have triggered your awakening and his insights into the pain-body have been part of a deeper shift, then seeing someone suffer senselessly is not easy to deal with. Clear insights into the workings of the pain-body in your own life can lead to revelations into your condition and finally enable you to create what Tolle calls “space.” You are finally able to witness the pain body creating havoc within you and for the first time in your life, you can practice being “space” instead of the conditioned reaction. As you create a greater degree of space, then less of your life energy is tangled up in the pain body. How do I share my insights with those I love? If you have experienced an awakening, but your spouse, partner, child or parent has not, then how do you share the teachings or insights with them so that they get it? You may be in a similar situation. Most people report that the other is not interested or won’t listen at all. They remain stuck in their unconscious ways and do not want your input or advice. So the best thing you can do is take your focus off of them and re-direct it back to yourself. If your pain body is being triggered by another person’s pain-body, then the problem is not their pain body but yours. You need to grow in presence power so you can be “space” for the other person. When their pain body is active or acting out, can you be in complete acceptance and offer the “space” to be, for the energy of the pain body to rise and fall? The pain-body in most people will always return to a dormant state, and so it is a matter of not reacting and allowing that energy to subside. Leo emphasizes that this is not about getting people to “believe in Tolle.” He shares about his own past transformational experiences and the resistance me met from those around him after such growth. Keep in mind that after any sort of deeply transformative experience, the other people in your life will still be at their current level of transformation. How can being in acceptance of the situation help? If the other person is not willing to change, or if they have not entered their season of awakening, then resisting their current state of consciousness will only drain you of energy. If you are exerting all of your energy in an attempt to force the person to bend when they are not ready to bend, you will expend much of your precious life energy. If you were to take that life energy and re-direct it back into your own conscious growth, [...] On this episode of Living with Tolle we discuss other people’s pain bodies.
