| Eckhart Tolle's Enlightenment Experience |

Question: This is about Eckhart
Tolle’s enlightenment experience, of falling into a void, having a state of no
thought and being transformed to experiencing life so different. So I’m asking what happened? What agreements took place? That seems like a very different experience
from others.
From our perspective, it appears
that a number of things are going on for this man in this lifetime. The experience that he describes as “falling into the void” was for him an
ecstatic experience of pure emotion. Now, this is someone who is not overtly conscious of his emotions except
through the processes of his
intellect. What he was able to do was to
bypass the intellect for a time and experience nothing but pure emotion.
Now, is this so different from what
you have done and what others do on a routine basis? In
mechanics, no. But what this caused for
him was that it allowed him to begin to see himself and everything around him
in a completely different way. It was as if he really changed all the
cells in his body in an instant.
Is this possible? Of course! Why would he do this? What
are the agreements going on here? What is his purpose in this lifetime? You understand, of course, that is a man with
a great many agreements with a great number of people in order to provide them
with the same “flash”.
How they take that in to themselves
will vary by the individual, and if it imbues him with an air of “specialness”
so that other people take him more seriously, then that is all the better. It is not theatrics or anything; what he
experienced was very real and true. The
effect that it had on him physically, mentally, emotionally and psychically was
of course very real and hugely transforming. And again he has agreements
with a great number of people to bring to them transformations that they are
choosing in their lives and their transformations will not resemble his, but will
be personal to their own experience in their own expectations. Now would we say that in his experience was in line with what people term as “enlightenment”. Well, as you are aware that is a very subjective term and is imbued with many expectations of a “godliness” and we would say that divinity is not the same as enlightenment. If we were to provide an explanation for our understanding of enlightenment we would simply say that enlightenment is state of enhanced awareness. Which means it's accessible to anyone, at least some point in their lives.
