Re: what is it about Ekhart Tolle...(edited)
"Yesterday I saw the video of the first chapter of the webinar of Oprah, and well ET talks of things that have been said for thousands of years, or at least more recently by people like Krishnamurti for example, and not only doesn't mention what's behind what he says even briefly, but when Oprah (ignorantly) attributes these concepts to him (THE FATHER OF NOW, are we joking?), he says nothing!!! Sorry, but this is rotten behavior in my book."
Hm - you made me think Serafina. Reading what you are saying I have to agree that he is missing to give references and doesnt say much about "whats behind it". I enjoyed the video a lot because I dont have the spiritual background knowledge as you do - or many others. I can see why you are upset though. I will continue to watch the webinar because it truly made me consider getting in touch with Me and with nature and I felt so good hearing what he says It very much reasonates with me and I feel different since, something inside of me DID indeed shift. Mainly I feel more joy now in just being WITH Me. Being with Me is very important and I will find more sit with Me time to get in touch with my IB, so it can speak up and let me know what it has to tell me. I intend to go out and surround myself with nature much more. I think this webinar is a good way for me and many people in the world to start discovering their own spirituality and to make a change in the world by making a change in themselves.
Eckhart Tolle may not be perfect, but he is a messenger who gets the message across to millions of people. If nothing else, he can be a start to explore this more.
Just like the movie "The secret" was nothing new and it even failed to tell people the most important message - that its about how you FEEL - it is a stepping stone. It got me interested to go deeper and its how I found Abraham.
