Portals into the Unmanifested

In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle describes the Unmanifested as the formless, eternal source of all life—a state of pure consciousness or stillness that exists beneath the surface of the world of form (the manifested world).

These portals are entryways that allow us to step out of the constant, obsessive noise of the thinking mind and connect with the deeper, formless reality of Being.
