I could spin that out into a 200 page book, speak with a German accent, and sound like I am channeling something, appear on the Oprah Winfrey show, and make a lot of money, but I can't be bothered.
So, that is the content of my new PD book:
'I am here, now.'
No charge for that, by the way.  |
Tolle doesn't have a single new idea in his book. He just took the kernel that can be found in esoteric religion and re-packaged it for the masses. That's a good thing. There are many people that would never even go near the "Metaphysics" or "Other Religions" section of the bookstore that have read his work. Whatever it takes to get people to wake up, so be it.
I personally prefer Ram Das or Thich Nhat Han, but my girlfriend who read the entire "Left Behind" series needs to hear it from Oprah. That's cool. When it comes from me, it's something weird. From Oprah, it's palatable. I realized a long time ago that most of the human population is not like me and I don't hold it against them any more.
