A New Earth....

Lately I have been immersed in Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth. It has been teaching me miraculous things about scripture and Christianity, even though it is not a specifically Christian book. In fact, many would claim that it is an anti Christian book.

Oprah has just completed hosting a 10 or so week class through what she calls a webinar, which is a 90 minute discussion with Eckhart which was available to view live on line or to download. Viewers could call in, skype in or email in questions about the current chapter and Eckhart and Oprah answered their questions and discussed aspects of the book chapter by chapter. The first series of classes are over but there is a summer session coming up....registration is open now. Transcipts from the webinars are also available to read online or download. There are many other resource available on her site including message boards, (which is where I have spent a lot of my time lately, reading but not posting) a blog by Eckharts life partner (personal and business) and the archives of a radio broadcast by Elizabeth Lesser which aired every Monday after the webinar. You have to join Oprah.com in order to access some of these resources, but it is a simple process and well worth the few minutes it takes to register. There are also many other resources on her site, too numerous to mention and outside the scope of this blog post.
