Love, compassion, the meaning of life, hope, and liberation from fear are not qualities that we need to acquire. We simply need to discover what we already possess.
The title of the book refers to this spark of divinity that is hidden within each of us, regardless of personal obligations or past mistakes. And in its pages, Eckhart Tolle describes how this spark can activate our lives - starting with instructions for a simple method of meditation that gradually removes the programming that hides innate goodness.
Each chapter draws its theme from the Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount, while the entire book is enriched by the words of some of the most prominent Christian mystics, such as Meister Eckhart, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross.
