 To say the least, it changed my Life. Nov 07, 2009
This book, to say the least, changed my life. I do not know where I would find myself today unless I read it, probably obsessed with my appearence and posessions,- simpy unhappy.
This book has allowed me to look through all the layers the ego adds to one's life and therefore forget the true meaning and beauty of it. Eckart Tolle points out the obvious, it is so obvious it has been completley disregarded by human kind. Since I have read this book I refer back to it every single day to live a more joyful life, no matter where I may find myself. My friends have read it or are reading it and they agree to the message, it changes lives no matter what your life may contain. I am only 17 years old, and my only regret is that I haven't read this book earlier, it would have saved me from a lot of unnecessary suffering that mostly imposed on myself, almost all pain is self created. I am currently urging everyone I love to read this book, even people I don't love! I gurantee that if someone reads this book and understands it's message they will live better life. There are countless books on how to behave to be happier, better, smarter etc, but this is the only one that goes deeper, and sticks, far beyond all the shallow changes people pursue.
If every single person read and understood the book's content I am positive that all misery would end, this may only make sense to you of you read it. But if I had enough money I would buy a truck load an give it out to everyone.
After reading this book and no longer have an excuse to be sad, and unless you want to be unhappy, I strongly encourage the world to read it.
 DON'T AGREE WITH ALL THE MESSAGES IN THIS BOOK!!!! Nov 06, 2009
I am going to tell you what I believe. I believe this is a work of the devil to draw christians away from Jesus Christ. If you notice, the media, and everywhere we go, there are things trying to draw us away from Jesus Christ. Even religious holidays are covered up with nonreligious icons like The Easter bunny, and Santa Clause. THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. WE ARE GOING THROUGH A SPIRITUAL WAR. THE DEVIL WANTS US TO BELIEVE THERE IS NO JESUS CHRIST AND THAT HE CAN'T SAVE US AND THAT WE CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT HIM. THIS IS THE DEVIL'S PLAN. ONCE HE HAS YOU WHERE HE WANTS YOU, HE CAN TAKE OVER.
I would like to share you about my experience. I thought I could live not believeing Jesus died for our sins and that he can't save us, but I was mistaken. Good things actually happened to me, but one day I saw a spirit of the devil that was trying to take over my soul. As soon as I asked Jesus to protect me, I was saved. The spirit disappeared and I was alive. LET ME SAY AGAIN, THIS IS A SPIRITUAL WAR WE ARE GOING THROUGH. THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS TO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND THAT'S ALL. ISN'T THAT AMAZING! JESUS PEOPLE ARE NOT SUFFERING. I MAY NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT I AM DOING FINE AND I AM HAPPY. GOD'S PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT HOW JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS AND HOW WE CAN HAVE LIFE FOREVER WITH HIM. THE WAY TO WIN IN THIS CHRISIS IS TO BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS, AND THAT'S ALL!!! WE ALSO HAVE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE IN DISBELIEF AND PRAY FOR THEM. IF WE BELIEVE WE HAVE SINNED, WE MUST REPENT, AND THAT'S ALL. ISN'T THAT EASY!!!!!!!!
YES, WE HUMANS ARE SMART, BUT WE STILL NEED TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS OUR SAVIOUR AND THAT HE DIED FOR OUR SINS!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE GET EDUCATED, READ THE BIBLE TOO (ESPECIALLY THE REVELATION SECTION), AND COMPARE NOTES, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!!!

 New Earth Book Nov 04, 2009
Not every book that Oprah promotes is "great", no offense, but this is a hard book to interpret and stick with and my time is too valuable to me to keep pushing myself to finish, just because of all the hype. I am an avid reader at age 72 but there are too many wonderful books out there waiting to be tried. I am glad that others enjoyed this book but not for me.
I am too old to be delving into this sort of thing; I just want to be entertained now.

Awakening or Denial? Oct 24, 2009
What do you get when you mix Buddhism, Christianity, New Age and Psychology? Besides an incoherent display of words such as "Consciousness is already conscious" , or conjectures like "Ego is Schizophrenia", you also get a new age religion with this book- A New Earth- as its Bible, and Eckhart Tolle, as its humble prophet. A Nirvana like state he calls Presence- via- a- vis God- is to un attach ourselves from thinking that "we" even exist for real consciousness is achieved only when we get rid of our Ego -our past memories and sense of future- which he calls a distortion of reality- and connect with the eternal consciousness of the Universe. In that way we can fully enjoy the only moment that really exist: the present moment. Throw away the history books! Scrub off your next years vacation plans! What's the use? Past and future don't exist! "Presence" is what is "real". Everything else is a collective delusion that we learn thru form. I imagine that a feral baby- babies that are purposely thrown into a closet away from "form" which is "the environment"- is in a continuous Nirvana like state and connected to a Higher Power. Severely affected Autistics - who barely have knowledge of past history much less the future- and you could argue always live in the present moment- must be left to enjoy it. Why bother "disconnecting" them from "Presence" thru form. Or, consider this one, what will a psychologist think of a man who calls schizophrenia having a sense of "me"? He would think that this man is in real need of a shrink. After all, for Eakheart, being "absent minded" is the real bliss. Moreover, this philosophy makes an enemy of any human emotion, for emotion to exist it has to be triggered by form. Therefore anger, stress, frustration, impatience, fear ,anxieties are nothing but a figment of our ego ridden imaginations in our time bound state of consciousness. Avoidant behavior is preferable to facing reality and time is a delusion itself so he advices not to pursue any evidence of it- denial- so that you don't disrupt your connection to the present moment. The psycho-religious babble goes on and on. The denial of our senses is king here. It's always been a long lived religious requirement to detach ourselves from the world itself. In that sense A New Earth is a manifesto of denial of the human condition. In summary, this book is yet another attempt to modernize religion which has always been in a timeless battle against a very human trait called thought. But, how can we develop thought without being exposed to form? You won't find that answer here. Thought is by all religious standards -and since Eve dared to take from the tree of Knowledge- , the enemy of God (Presence) and of human Happiness. What I find really ironic is that it is thru thought process-albeit irrational - that Mr. Eckhart concocted yet another infantile delusion: the religion of consciousness.
