‘A New Earth’ book written by Eckhart Tolle reviewed by Oprah
By admin | March 13, 2008
Oprah’s latest project is based on the book written by Eckhart Tolle ‘New Earth’. His first book ‘The Power of NOW ‘ was written about 16 years ago. A friend gave me this book when I attended a self development course called, ‘KNOWING’, she signed and put the date as 23 April 2005. Well, now when I read and re-read this book, my understanding is different from the last time I read it. Whatever you get is what you get. An excerpt from Page 41 of his Power of NOW:
- Nothing ever happened in the past, it happened now.
- Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the now.
That was how I had to remind myself constantly to “Live in the Now”. My mantra became, “Everything is perfect”. This helped me get into a powerful state. For the past is a trigger to your behaviour, reaction or response now. The now is the consciousness of what is. I have to share with you that it is simple but not easy.
Back to Oprah’s project. It started on March 4 @ 11am Singapore time. You need to sign up at www.oprah.com to listen and download the worksheets if you want to work on it for free. Technology is so great that I can listen to their interview and review about the book and people from any where in the world can register to ask them questions from any page of his book. This is a weekly live dialogue between Oprah and Eckhart Tolle.
It was my eldest sister who lives in Vancouver who told me. She was looking for her purpose in life and called me to help her with it. She was willing but not ready. Nevertheless, it is good for someone she is not related to coach her. There will be a listening that is not fully clear. It should come from ‘nothingness’ which is challenging when you are related. My elder sister also asked me to coach her and after 3 sessions, she made a decision to take action that she have been thinking about it and procrastinated. She is now so excited about the power of coaching that she is going to T Harv Eker’s Seminar! Before that, she has never attended a self development course and doesn’t think much about it. I heard her sharing about her experience with coaching with her friends and how different it is from friends trying to help each other. Well, a proper life coaching is a process of more than 3 sessions. I am happy that my family is receiving and embracing the value of life coaching. Our conversations are more useful and connected than before, more acknowledgements of each other’s values.
