Someone Heckled Eckhart Tolle: This Was His Powerful Reaction

I didn’t expect this to happen.

There was a heckler the night I went to see Eckhart Tolle.

I was living in Melbourne at the time.

Seeing Eckart Tolle live was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

He sold out a huge auditorium. And we all waited excitedly to see him.

But just as he began to speak, someone started yelling from the backseats.

The Power of Now changed my life

I first read Tolle’s masterpiece in 2016.

At the time I wasn’t ready to hear most of the concepts.

But I suddenly understood why I was constantly seeking and searching.

You see, I hadn’t stayed in a country longer than 12 months for the years prior.

I was constantly moving and changing. I couldn’t stay still. And I was deeply impatient.

I was waiting for life to begin

I didn’t realize that my life was in the here and now.

The moment I moved to Melbourne I was ready to hop on another plane.
