 Enlightening November 9, 2008

This book is really helping my husband and me with our relationship. It is an interesting read and I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind.

Man, this author is full of himself. Every other philosopher and religious tradition has it wrong, according to Tolleson.
Lots of philosophers have ideas and manage to share them without the wholesale dismissal of every other idea. Why does Tolleson have to state that everyone else is wrong and he is right? Somehow, it reminds me of those folks who are never open to discussion on any point... you know who I mean. Anyway, I mostly hated this book, in spite of the few good points that he made just because it is so pompous and self-righteous. I guess I missed why Oprah recommended this book.

Ladies and Gentlemen who reviewed Tolle's latest with one star, just let me share that I gained more wisdom from your comments than anything of Tolle's I've read. You all sound like fine, balanced people and should get together and write your own book. Well done!

He's right. It's so nice to have some confirmation about things that I feel to be true. Especially things that cannot be explained (or explained away) by logic. Maybe this book is not for some others, but I can look back to when I was a little kid and know that I felt what he is saying to be the REAL TRUTH, even then. I started questioning my Catholic upbringing at a very young age and I started reading a lot of spiritual books, too. They confirmed some things for me, but I am (lol I have thought of myself as?)a thinker through and through and it's been very hard to give myself permission to let go of that. Scary, actually, as any of you who find value in this book can attest. His advice definitely also has practical application. Will it be easy to follow? I'm not so sure. I will try.
