 Not convinced July 14, 2008

I watched Oprah and was really interested in reading this book. It covers the egos' many faces very well and has very good discussions around the pain body etc., but where it let's itself down is the 'beating up' of the ego without balancing this with guidance and understanding of the person reading the book who has egoic conditioning clouding their view. It preaches to the converted in my view and in doing so, unfortunately, says 'if you don't agreed with me you are wrong'. Precisely what the author claims he is trying not to do.
My recommendation - read chapter 10 first, then the rest of the book. If not, you will start believing you are evil and damned. Better yet, read 'If you're falling - dive by Cheri Huber, it is far more human in its approach to us mere mortals.
 Your transformation awaits! July 7, 2008
The current state of humanity is an outward reflection of the dysfunction that exists within the human mind, The EGO, the fictitious sense of self, the apparent duality, the delusion!
A New Earth will teach you about the mechanics and the structure of the ego in others and how to dissolve your own ego by present moment awareness. Once you have gone beyond your fictitious identity you no longer pollute your body with negative emotion, no longer contaminate those around you with negative energy and go beyond the main characteristics of the ego - fear and want.
You then participate in the unfolding of The New Earth. Essential reading for everyone, your transformation awaits!
One of the most important books in history June 30, 2008
This book is so good it should be compulsary reading in schools. If every person lived their lives according to the wisdom of this book we would have no wars, no inequality, we'd respect other life forms and our environment, and we'd all be happier.
Jimmy Hendrix said: 'When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.' Those people who crave power are those with the most powerful eogs. If these people become aware thay they are infected with the ego disease they would surely embrace the power of love. In years to come this book will become known as the one that helped cure humanity of the ultimate cancer that is the ego.
Amazing!!!
Raising Consciousness June 5, 2008

A New Earth is Eckhart Tolle's second book on the power of living in the present moment. Like The Power Of Now, his first book, A New Earth is special to read. Words are powerful carriers of energy, and both of Eckhart's books emanate the love, peace and joy that he obviously experienced while writing these from a place of presence and high level of consciousness.
The book takes its title from a Biblical prophecy that refers to the emergence of a new heaven and a new earth, the deeper meaning of which relates to the transformation of human consciousness and the reflection of this higher level of awareness in the physical world. Although the title has its basis in a Christian teaching, A New Earth is a spiritual book and as such can be read by people of any religion or people of no specific religion. In fact, it is interesting to note that the feedback received from the webcasts done recently by Oprah and Eckhart Tolle has indicated that many people have found that reading the book enabled them to understand the teachings of their religions in far greater depth and to apply them with far greater insight than they had previously had.
While The Power Of Now was written in question and answer format, A New Earth reads more like a traditional book, and it is therefore often the preferred introduction to the topic for many people. It was certainly Oprah's choice for the webcasts that she and Eckhart conducted! Having read both books, I would probably recommend starting with The Power Of Now; however, this really is a personal choice and either will do as a starting point. The important thing is to read at least one of these books, and to reflect on and practice the teachings contained within them. Increasing your awareness and living in the present moment can be a challenging process, particularly when you start, but the rewards are immense.
In addition to going in-depth on subjects such as the ego and the pain-body, A New Earth addresses the topic of conscious creating, particularly in Chapter 10. Although Eckhart never refers to this as The Law Of Attraction, the principles that he discusses provide a spiritual view on the process of creation. If you've ever felt disillusioned by the very materialistic view of The Law Of Attraction, then Eckhart's description of how consciousness creates may be just the antidote that you need!
An Enlightening Read May 3, 2008

I found Eckhart Tolle's newest book "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" an enlightening read. I really liked chapter 5 "The Pain Body" It had never occurred to me that thinking is involuntary, that it is no different then other bodily functions such as circulation or digestion. How true it is that many people are totally lost in their thoughts never present or listening to a word anyone says. In chapter 6 "Breaking Free" Eckhart Tolle tells us how to break free. I kept thinking to myself (what I have thought so many times before) the only thing that gets in my way is me!
Another book I really enjoyed reading is "Being Here Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment" by Ariel & Shya Kane. It is a light and delightful book of short stories about 'being' that will keep you entertained and put a smile on your face.
