Book recommendation: A New Earth - by Eckhart Tolle

This is a book i finished reading about a month ago. It really got through to me and for a few weeks afterwards, i couldn't get its' concepts out of mind. Everything rang so true. There were plenty of moments during reading the book where a light-bulb would flash and i would go "A-ha!".

It is a book that is hard to describe to people. And it is the kind of book that can only be read when ready. I imagine if one was to read it too soon, then it wouldn't get through to the reader (I.e. If i read this when i was in high school i probably would have laughed at it). But i suppose the best way to describe the book is as an "awakening" book. It advocates present moment awareness and the dismantling of the ego as the path towards awakened living. Some of the things in the book i don't agree with, but for the most part it hits the nail on the head. But it's really something that one must judge for him/herself.

Yes, it was promoted on Oprah, but don't let that deter you.

People that are already familiar with eastern spiritual philosophies such as buddhism may not get much out of this book, as it is mostly a rehash of those concepts. But it is just communicated in a more "western" way.

Clip: We Will Be Victorious

If you can manage to put aside the fact that this clip is borderline righteous (silly new muse and their ego), and just look it at from a perspective of truth, then you'll find it to be extremely powerful.

Hopefully this can contribute to awareness of the fact that governments have a greedy agenda that doesn't go in favour of humanity. The more people that awaken to this fact, the less power the government has. If we can unite together as humans, and recognize the fact that each of us is a cell that is apart of the larger body (humanity), then our collective consciousness will really start to evolve.



(Don't be surprised if the clip above doesn't load. Apparently youtube keeps censoring/deleting it. This particular version has managed to last 2 months. If it's been deleted by the time you want to watch it, just search for a 6:45 long clip called "we will be victorious". If that fails, contact me and let me know and i'll see if i can dig it up for ya.)

Clip: Evolution Is Now

If you imagine human history in the form of a linear timeline, then our current times would show that right now we are experiencing an evolution in human consciousness. The key to this lies in unity, and lies in the realisation that we are all connected to the same universal energy. This clip puts some of that into perspective.

This clip may come across as "lame" to the average cynic. And hey, maybe it is? But the truth it speaks is far beyond any sort of negative interpretation.

Warning: Contains some disturbing images.
