A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (2008)

I never received this book and never had a response from the seller. It took two complaints before I received word back from e-bay that I would be refunded for this charge.

Love this book and Tolle's take, grat service and price too! This book is among many who read spirituality books but takes you throgh a different view

Tolle, while quoting Jesus and the Bible, is a disciple of Maharishi not Jesus.
First, like Maharishi, Tolle’s religion is a form of Hinduism. His teaching come from the Upanishads, the concluding portions of the Vedas (the oldest Hindu scriptures). The Upanishads contain the essence of Vedic teaching and are the foundation of present day Hinduism.

For the sake of simplification we can think of Hinduism as running along two primary tracks. There is a ritualistic form of Hinduism and a philosophical form of Hinduism. Tolle is following in the philosophic tradition of Hinduism and the teachings derived from the Upanishads.

These Vedas teach that all men can achieve the divine state if they strive for it
Tolle’s emphasis on the “ego” is not about what most people assume. Most people assume that by “ego” he means pride, arrogance and selfishness. That is not at all the point of Tolle. Getting over the ego, to Tolle, is a denial of the individual personality and becoming “one with the consciousness.”

The Upanishads also teach that the body is the prison house of the soul and any idea of a resurrection and an eternal union of body and soul is rejected. There is no place for the idea of the resurrection. What is Tolle’s view on life, death and the afterlife? Is it compatible with the teachings of Christ? Tolle confeses his belief in reincarnation not resurrection!

What Tolle teaches is nothing like what Christ taught. Further, what Tolle teaches about Jesus Christ, God, sin, human nature, salvation, heaven and hell are nothing like what the Bible teaches.

Tolle obviously is an evangelist of Hinduism and a disciple of Maharishi. He is not only propagating his teaching he is using Maharishi’s methodology of making Hinduism palatable for Westerners in general and Christians in particular, he is seeking to co-opt Christianity and make it merely a sect of Hinduism. His target audience is Westerners who have some form of Christianity.

Oprah, who professes some sort of Christianity, has become his biggest supporter. Her Webinar, and book club promotion is quickly allowing this prophet of false a platform to pull in the gullible.


What Jesus said is coming to pass before our very eyes:

Many will come in my name, saying “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many…then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many…Then if anyone says to you, “Look, here is the Christ!” Or , “There!” do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect…therefore, if they say to you, “Look, he is in the desert!” do not go out; or “Look, He is in the inner rooms!” do not believe it. Matthew 24:5,11, 23, 24, 26 NKJV

I had the book within a few days and it was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend ordering from them again.

This book was enlightening and well put together. I went through the book within the Oprah Book Club and the lessons he did along with the book was very good. I would tell anyone to get the workbook along with the book. It was an excellent book to help anyone go further within themselves.

I bought it because I am trying to deal with a life crisis. I lost my 28 year old son to an overdose a few months ago. I am looking for a reason not only to live, but to live my best life.
I know it will be a day by day struggle, as I am no stranger to loss. I recognize it as a universal phenomenon that is under estimated in it's impact.
The advice that Tolle suggests of living in the now is all important. It is truly all we have.
I fully intended to take the accompanying class on the Oprah website, but have been overwhelmed with work.
I'm sure I will refer to it often.
Its a keeper

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (2008). A very good read for anyone wanting to expand themselves or enlighten themselves to their real dreams and aspirations. I highly recommend you to read this book. Teaches you a lot. After finishing this book I returned to pursuing my life long goals. ***** 5-Star Book!! Magnificent!

I LIKE THE NEW WAY OF THINKING, WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR SOME TIME. ITS REFRESHING TO HAVE SUPPORT AND AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT "ALL IS ONE" AND TRUTH IS WHAT ITS ABOUT, THAT THERE REALLY IS NO GOOD/BAD ONLY TRUTH WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS CLEARED AWAY. I BOUGHT THE BOOK FOR ITS KNOWLEDGE, TO REMIND ME WHAT I FORGOT, AND TO GET MORE UNDERSTANDING FOR THE TIME I AM IN THE MID-WEST, LEARNING VERY DIFFICULT GROWTH SPURTS. I GREW UP IN IOWA BUT SPENT MY ADULT YEARS UP TO 53 IN CALIFORNIA . UPON MY RETURN HERE I HAD NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WOULD REALLY BE. KINDA LIKE THE ALCOHOLIC WHO GOES BACK HOME, ALL THAT WAS NOT SETTLED OR ACKNOWLEDGED COMES FLYING UP LIKE DEMONS FROM THE PAST. THESE VOICES OF TERROR AS A CHILD RETURN AND START CUTTING ME DOWN WITH WORDS LIKE LIGHTNING TO THE HEART. THE PAIN, CONFUSION AND SELF-HATRED IS THERE JUST AS REAL AS IT WAS THEN. ONLY NOW I GET FLASH BACKS AS HOW IT GOT STARTED AND HOW ALL THE CHILDREN IN ME GREW INTO HAVE THERE OWN PERSONALITIES AND WHAT PURPOSE THEY SERVE TO PROTECT OR FEEL THE EMOTION PAIN, OR PSYCHOLOGICAL CONFUSION OF WHAT IS REAL. I CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS TO THIS DAY ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, WAYS TO HEAL AND GUIDANCE TO HELP MYSELF LOVE ME THE BEST I CAN, SO I CAN BE THE BEST PERSON I CAN BE, AND IN THIS WAY I FEEL I HELP THE UNIVERSE TO HEAL. ITS LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON'S SONG "THE MAN IN THE MIRROR". ITS VERY HARD TO HOLD MYSELF ESTEEM ABOVE WATER HERE, AS, I FIND MYSELF STANDING ALONE, BEING ACCUSED OF THINGS I AM NOT ABOUT, AND BEING TREATED VERY DISRESPECTFULLY, WITH MY DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY BEING ATTACKED DAILY. I HAVE VERY LITTLE FAMILY SUPPORT, EXCEPT BY MOM, DOES HER BEST , SHE IS 90 AND INCREDIBLE. THEN I HAVE 3 SISTERS WHOM ARE STEP FAMILY BUT CLOSER THAN MY OWN AND MORE LIKE WHAT A FAMILY IS, AND MY FRIEND SHARON. THANK THE HEAVENS FOR MY FAR AWAY FRIENDS WHOM ARE MY FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS NOW. SO I BOUGHT THE BOOK FOR ALL THESE REASONS, AND AM LOOKING FOR NEW STRENGTH DAILY AS THERE HAS BEEN TIMES I REALLY FEEL LIKE TAKING MY JOURNEY, BUT DON'T AS I DO NOT WANT TO REPEAT THIS LIFE, AND I REALLY WANT TO GET IT....AND WALK IN THE LIGHT SEEING ALL AS LESSONS, LEADING TO THE NEXT LESSON , AND FEELING LIKE I DID WHEN I LIVED IN CA. WITH SUPPORT TO BE WHO I TRULY AM........ME.

the book is excellent so far.the book came in a very timely fashion and was as described.I reccomend this sellar.

The idea behind the book is similar to Awareness by Anthony De Mello. I encourage others to read that first.

Originally, I purchased this book for the live webcast on Oprah.com for the 10 session. Once I began reading this book I found it to exceptional and "on time" even though it was written sometime ago. The material is an easy read and quite phenomenal so that anyone could understand his teachings.

I recommended it too many even before I had completed the 10 webcast program. The purchasing price was great and I received it ontime for the next class. Again, this is a excellent manual for anyone who is ready to "awaken and re-awaken" to their divine purpose, here and now.

Unfortunately I had a hard time understanding the author while he read his book. As for the book itself, I felt it contained more of a "college course" type of information and format. "BIG WORDS" laced here and there which would make the NORMAL person uncomfortable. I had high hopes on truly enjoying the "enlightenment" that all of the hype suggested but no. BORED was all I could say this book offered me. SORRY to those of you who were truely ENLIGHTENED by its contents, guess I just wasn't ready.

This is a good book with excellent insight. If the world evolves to this way of being, it would be a wonderful place. During and after reading the book I tried to apply it in my life, but it was a struggle, and I gradualy fell back into my old ways of thinking. I hope I'll be able to read it again at another time and better transform from thinking to being.

The entire process was quick and easy. I received this book so quickly that I couldn't belive it was on my doorstep! Thanks!

This book is surely a good investment, you will be very satisfied having this book. I aint those books that tell you what to do, but it inspires you to be yourself. The true you. And if you are into any kind of religion and you dont know if this book is going to be a conflict in your believes. I dont think its going to be.

Buy it and read it.

This is a wonderful book and has changed my life so much. I highly recommend this book. I saw the author on Oprah and instantly knew I had to have this book . So I purchased it and then I purchased his first book "The Power of Now"

Very inspirational during my life changing process. I purchased it after the book was featured on Oprah. It is so worth reading especially if you are at a crossroads in life and need an extra boost of encouragement. The book makes you soul search about what you really want out of life, and what matters really to YOU. You get the strength to do you guilt free.

I never received my book. My money was taken. I am very disapointed! I was told the order was being shipped, the book never arrived at my house. I will never, never order from you again. I have never had a problem in the pass. I just cannot expres my disappointment in the way this was handeled.

This is a powerful book that clears up all the mysteries about how to live a healthy, positive life. I love it.

Unlike any book or course I have seen (and I have seen quite a few). Really pulls together awareness of spirit through mind in a way that will affect you forever - personally and in all relationships. Should be required reading for all humans. Don't be put off by the title.

I decided to purchase the book because I heard so many wonderful things in the Oprah show.

We live in such a complex world, where there is no time to sit down and reflect on the little things that matter the most in life. This is why I enjoy to read self-help books that help me find a spiritual sense and purpose of my life on this earth. I highly recommend this book!

HOW ELSE COULD I DESCRIBE THIS WORK BUT AS THE BOOK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW BOOKS ON SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGIONS,HEALING,HERBOLOGY AND ALL SORTS OF ANCIENT BELIEFS.BUT THIS ONE IS LIKE THE KEY TO THE MAP.IT BRINGS YOU INSIDE AND BRINGS CLARITY AND PRESENTS TO EVERYTHING IN LIFE.IF YOUR EVEN LOOKING AT THIS TITLE,BUY IT OR GET TO THE LIBRARY...EITHER WAY,READ THIS ONE!
PEACE,LOVE,LIGHT, CHRIS

This is the most "profound" book I have ever read...it really makes you "dig deep down" into yourself and leaves you with a new awareness to what life is really all about.

About half way through, pretty good so far, will update......... Saw the show on Oprah and had to get it - hope to learn about living in the moment, seemed to move a lot of people.......................
