I've totally tried not to out myself regarding spiritual beliefs, but here goes the outting:wave:.....

From what I can see about what Tolle is saying, it's very similar to some of the basic teachings of Kabbalah. Light = God. Ego = Darkness/Satan (pronounced suh-tan). The ego/Satan is not some outside entity, but works from inside of us, our ultimate competitor. Darkness is a veil over the Light. By working to actively remove the veils through something called restriction, i.e. giving/sharing, and not just receiving for the self alone, you bring more Light not only into your own life but into the lives of those around you and ultimately bring enlightenment to yourself and to the world so that we can transform our world into a peaceful, loving place.

:cool:Okay, I'm outted. :cool:

We are meant to transform the world. That is what the Masters before us have taught. Jesus, Buddha, and all the others. It starts with each of us.

I'm a book-aholic, so I'll be going out to get this one ASAP. Thanks!

My perfect beach
Yes, there is a free class on the book on Monday nights at 7pm on oprah.com. The class runs about 90 minutes, but you can watch the class after its initial run 24/7 on oprah.com Then, on Thursdays at 3pm (and repeated at other times throughout the week) are highlights from the class on XM 156 (Oprah & Friends network).

If you like this kind of thing (I do), author Marianne Williamson has been doing "A Course in Miracles" every Monday at 3pm on XM 156, but you can go online to oprah.com and all the classes so far are available there.

And, finally, the Celestine Vision hosts the Global Prayer Project every other Tuesday night via phone or computer - http://www.celestinevision.com

Maybe enough people thinking and behaving in love instead of fear can begin to improve the world.:love:

Excellent conversation....I am glad to see the book is having such an impact....I cannot wait until Oprah starts burning incense and meditating on her show.....

I would throw my two cents in, but I really can't say it any better than this.....

Yoga Mediation Visualized ......

Good luck in whatever path you seek....


Thank you....:cool:

I got it last week too! It is wonderful. I should've studied it more today. Think I'll get it out now. I'm just not so sleepy tonight. :D

Here is another video in support of the premises of a new earthl

But I realized "But I'm still alive! I'm still alive and I have found Nirvana. And if I have found Nirvana and I'm still alive, then everyone who is alive can find Nirvana." I picture a world filled with beautiful, peaceful, compassionate, loving people who knew that they could come to this space at any time. And that they could purposely choose to step to the right of their left hemispheres and find this peace. And then I realized what a tremendous gift this experience could be, what a stroke of insight this could be to how we live our lives.


Which would you choose? Which do you choose? And when? I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be. And I thought that was an idea worth spreading.


This was very good....thank you for posting this and I am sending a link to friends.
