The
book used in the Thursday night class. A New Earth: Awakening
to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)
Eckhart Tolle is a gentle guide for
change, first in ourselves and then in the world. Addressing the dysfunction all
around us, he encourages us to see the source--our egos, which he explains in
some depth but also puts simply as "the voices in our head." Letting go of our
egos, we will let go of much of our pain, and will be able to embark on a
journey of discovery and "re-creation." There is much of the natural world in
his argument, as he encourages us to connect to the things in the earth and sky
that can bring enlightenment. Tolle reflects that we are microcosms of the
larger universe, and that human consciousness and the physical world are
connected. If we break free from old ways of thinking and seeing, we can change
ourselves, individually and collectively. We can, in his view, create a "new
species," one more fully awakened, that can then "re-create" Earth.
At the age of 29 Tolle experienced an enlightenment
that dramatically changed the course of his life. His subsequent spiritual
teachings have focused on awareness of the present moment, freedom from
negativity, and the attainment of inner peace. Tolle does not align himself with
any specific religion or tradition. Tolle wrote the New York Times bestseller
"The Power of Now," which has been translated into 33 languages, as well as "A
New Earth." These two titles are considered to be among the most influential
spiritual books in recent times. Tolle has also recorded many audio interviews
and a video. Tolle is a public speaker who teaches and travels throughout the
world. "A New Earth" was chosen in January 2008 by Oprah Winfrey as a book club
selection.
