Eckhart Tolle: A New Earth - Oprah's Book Club and Class
Wednesday January 30, 2008
Oprah is doing things differently with her first book club selection of 2008. Joined by spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle, Oprah will be conducting live web classes each Monday starting March 3, 2008.
Tolle is the author of one of Oprah's favorite books, The Power of Now as well as Practicing the Power of Now and Stillness Speaks. Oprah.com provides an explanation of Tolle's teachings:
At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of consciousness—a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution—and transcends our ego-based state of consciousness. This, he says, is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.
For more information on the author, visit his personal website, or get involved by joining the book club.
Comments
I am an avid reader of Eckhart Tolle and I would like to see the Monday night web talks, however I’m out of town on Mondays. Is there a way to “save” the talks and view them later in the week?
Thanks!
Oprah.com will offer a webcast archive that will become available as the classes progress, starting Monday, March 3, 2008. It is a requirement to be an Oprah.com member to access A New Earth information - to join visit the membership page. I will also be providing recap information for each class under the book club tab on the main About.com Oprah page. Hope this helps!

What a load of bull dinky! Oprah you are lost! You should be ashamed of the pagan rhetoric that spews from your mouth on every show! You are doing Satan’s work spreading the false religion of the New Age Movement. Repent now while you have time! Jesus Christ is coming back to judge soon. I am praying for you to come to your senses. The only way to salvation is through acceptance of Christ’s shed blood for your sins with a sincere heart, not this global consciousness crap!
For True Believer: Most people believe in God as if they know God however, they are addicted to an ideology or mental-belief-idol. Christians are guilty of this when they loose the spirit of God (consciousness). They talk about God yet they do not know God. They are like people who talk about honey but they have never tasted honey. They argue about labels, concepts, and belief systems. Eternal Life means you have a relationship with Jesus Christ (God) and KNOW God as you know yourself. You know God when you know yourself because you were created in His image.
