A NEW EARTH: AWAKENING TO YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE

Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet. Two weeks ago Paul reviewed Tolle's first "New York Times" Bestseller, "The Power of Now". In this show Paul continues studying Tolle's words by reading selected excerpts from his second "New York Times" Bestseller, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose". In this book, which is in Oprah's Book Club, Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness. He shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence. Join Paul in this study of the words of a true modern day mystic.
