Eckhart Tolle

[Jo]

I just wanted to see if anyone has read Eckhart Tolle ("The Power of Now")
etc.

I'm half way through his new book, "A New Earth" and it's pretty powerful
stuff. I'm familiar with this
"journey" type work of awareness and transformation, but it's a book (or on
audio CD) that people might
find rather fascinating. Much of it is about letting go of the egoic mind,
separation and identity (e.g. - "Who Am I"),
how to exist authentically, how to find happiness (what is happiness, how do
we impose our mind on a situation in ways that makes us unhappy), and the
concepts of wanting, needing, expectations, etc. Finding peace, both
personally and as a collective consciousness, and why Wars don't really
"win" peace. Pretty profound stuff but written clearly, logically, and with
heart. I really recommend it!
