Eckhart Tolle on Oprah!
Friday, March 7th, 2008
If you’ve looked at my list of favorite books on the site you’ll see “The power of now”, one of my all-time favorite books. As someone who never watches Oprah, I have to say that it came as a surprise to me to see these two icon’s come together for the start of a weekly event this past Monday covering Eckhart’s newest book “A new earth- Awakening to your life’s purpose”. I have to applaud them both for creating this forum. Oprah calls this the most important and exciting thing she’s ever done in her life. It’s a 10 week, live webcast, every Monday evening starting March 3rd where users can participate via email and a live video conference with Oprah and Eckhart. I never though I’d ever endorse Oprah, but today, I would encourage anyone who feels ready and interested in learning a more present and authentic way of being in the world to check this out. Although Eckhart can be seen in person or on sites such as Youtube, I feel the combination of his presence on Oprah’s event shows the global hunger for connection to something greater than ourselves. The shear numbers who attended this event and the fact that his books “A new earth” and “The power of now” are at #1 and #2 on the New York Times best seller list for paperback, point to the fact that people are interested in topics other than Tom Cruise and more importantly that they are actively participating in the much needed shift in global consciousness. The first event drew 500-700k simultaneous viewers from approx. 140 countries. They claim this is the largest event of its kind hosted on line. It’s not exactly the record-breaking Live Earth concert that last year drew 55Million stream in 24 hours but it represents a great hope for humanity.
