In basic language and with calm humor, Eckhart Tolle explores the deep mystery of who we are. Eckhart starts this talk by delivering the problem we encounter as human beings: The vast majority of us have developed a rigid feeling of identity predicated on our background, our mental interpretations, and our thoughts of days gone by. It really is who we believe we are, “our story,” and we continuously support it with limitless thoughts in habitual patterns.

However our story – what Eckhart telephone calls “the tiny me” – is not the reality of who we are. All we really have may be the present moment, and in this minute we are far more than we think; we are in fact part of an excellent, mysterious whole.
