Eckhart Tolle, Oprah, and A NEW EARTH

So Eckhart and Oprah are now “friends” and together they are discussing, ego, the pain body, consciousness, and awareness. Through doing this huge web class they are creating big changes, for hundreds and thousands of people, are you one of them? I read Eckhart’s book ,) A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose and really felt that it is one of the most simplified and comprehensive presentations of the teaching offered in, A Course in Miracles.
 
 I have family members reading A New Earth, and it is really inspiring them to be much more present, aware of the ego, mind movement, and is facilitating the power of allowing what it! I have often taught my students that we have become conditioned to
 “fight” what is because we are so addicted to our individual values, goals, and ideals. We want what we view as being “right” so that we can feel safe, superior, separate and “unique”. And in our unconsciousness moments (meaning when we are not present) when we go into “auto pilot” we innocently, allow the ego to rule our perceptions and reactions.
 
 The “Pain Body” as Eckhart puts it, is a wonderful term which identifies the part of the ego identity that loves to embrace the roles of victim and terrorist. And in its insatiable hunger to stay “alive,” it energetically continually seeks out reasons and justifications to be “fed”. If we are aware (present) and can observe it in action we immediately cause a shift, because in observing it, we immediately become the “witness” of the pain-body rather than subject to it.
 
 So in closing, I want to give three cheers, a huge hug, and my deepest gratitude to Oprah, Eckhart, and YOU, for reading and or participating in the book, The New Earth, the class or both, and in so doing, shift or rather leap into a more Authentic Self.
