Book – The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who has ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Eckhart Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, Tolle says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully and intensely, in the Now."

Paper – Principles of Transformation, Shifting Paradigms – WingMakers
These are two of the most profound spirituals
essay we've seen. The essence of the message in the first beautiful seven-page
paper is that humanity is now transitioning from a place of looking for
God and meaning outside of ourselves, to finding it within. The more
we open to spiritual guidance from within ourselves, the more joyfully and
meaningfully we can move through the challenges of today and the days to
come. The second incisive, ten-page essay focuses on the roots of the
hierarchical system which keeps us from accessing our own divine essence.
These two inspiring essays are written from an incredibly broad, universal
perspective. Two-page summaries of each paper are also available.

Essay – Building a Brighter Future – WantToKnow.info
This empowering two-page essay invites us to join in a planetary shift from the old paradigm based largely on control, fear, and victimization to a new paradigm based on love, community, and intention. "Ultimately, it is the collective fear, secrecy, polarization, and loss of purpose within all of us that has allowed leaders to take power who would subvert democracy, and who would take away our freedoms and liberties. By each one of us making a commitment to work on these issues both inside of ourselves and out in the world – and to inspire others to do the same–we can change our collective direction and build a solid foundation for a brighter future."
