Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author who claims to have achieved a state of transcendence after a profound inner transformation. He describes his experience as a dissolution of the ego and a realization of the true self. According to Tolle, he achieved transcendence by becoming aware of the present moment and detaching himself from the thoughts and emotions that create suffering.
He says that transcendence is not a goal to be attained, but a natural state of being that is accessible to anyone who is willing to surrender to the now. Tolle teaches that transcendence is not dependent on any external factors, such as beliefs, practices, or circumstances, but on the inner attitude of acceptance and openness. He also emphasizes that transcendence is not a permanent state, but a dynamic and ongoing process that requires constant vigilance and awareness.
