A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
by Eckhart Tolle

Book Review by MiracleMind Staff

On Monday March 3rd, Oprah Winfrey launched her first live video webcast. Oprah chose to highlight the incredible life-changing work so perfectly explained in this book. It’s been a month, and over 2 million people have logged into these weekly events. At the very top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (see article in this newsletter), one would surely include the work of Eckhart Tolle as a powerful tool for personal transformation.

Eckhart Tolle is a renowned contemporary spiritual counselor and bestselling self-help author. At the core of his simple yet profound teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution.

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity. Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are--which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are--and learn to live and breathe freely.
