Last night, Monday April 7th, Oprah hosted her sixth webcast with Eckhart Tolle. In this webcast they explored the sixth chapter of his book A New Earth, entitled “Breaking Free”.
Oprah began the evening with reading some excerpts from Eckhart’s new book entitled “Stillness Speaks”.
They then proceeded with the usual moment of stillness. Following is my summary of the webcast with a few of my own additions and explanations.
Last night, Monday March 31st, Oprah hosted her fifth webcast with Eckhart Tolle.
In this webcast they explored the fifth chapter of his book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Oprah’s Book Club, Selection 61), entitled “The Pain-Body”.
Oprah began the evening with a beautiful poem entitled “Lost” by David Wagoner. Eckhart then continued with leading everyone into a moment of stillness. After the moment of stillness, Oprah commented how easy these moments have now become and how much longer they seem than just the actual 10 seconds that they last. To this Eckhart gave a beautiful response saying that if you bring your full attention to any moment it becomes holy. And this goes back to my views that people who for example are strongly tied to a religion seem to only “find” or “feel” holiness in places of worship, but truly when we awaken and become still to feel the essence of our being - that is Holy.
The chapter on the Pain-Body is special to me not because I have a heavy pain-body, but because it allowed me to understand and gain a deeper understanding of many people who are close to me and carry very heavy pain-bodies of their own. Eckhart explains in this chapter that we all get so caught up with “me and my story” that we revolve our lives and thoughts around that, thinking that is who we are. Well naturally, this is not who you are.
Last night, Monday March 10, Oprah hosted her second webcast with Eckhart Tolle.
In this webcast they explored the second chapter of his book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Oprah’s Book Club, Selection 61), entitled “Ego: The Current State of Humanity”.
Even though this was only the second webcast, I still cannot get over the excitement I feel while participating in it and I suspect that feeling is going to carry over the next 8 weeks just as strongly. It is just so magnificent to see this event taking place on our planet and to know that at this time over 2 million people have been exposed to it. If you are like me, you crave the change that our planet so desperately needs and it is so uplifting to see it in action. Many people of course bring in their negativity and say that this won’t last once the hype of this event dies down in a few months. But I disagree, once you taste and experience this transformation in your own life, there is just no going back.
In the following article, I will summarize the topics and discussions of last night’s event along with my own thoughts and additions.
