It does seem strange to be making a glowing recommendation for something that Oprah is doing. Not that I have anything against Oprah, I just don’t find her show at all appealing. Yet now she is doing something extremely appealing, a ten-week webcast with my favourite spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle. The focus of the course is Tolle’s latest book, A New Earth: Awakening to Life’s Purpose. Having read the book (and his previous The Power of Now), I can honestly say that it contains spiritual insight unparalleled in anything else I’ve read. I just watched the first session, which was really only introductory but is still packed with the essential message: being present. Here is the link:

If you log in the next day (Tuesdays) you can download the broadcast in the Archive section at:

TIP:
The videos are .m4v files, designed for iTunes only. A little Apple trick. After the download, just change the file extension from .m4v to the standard .mp4 and they’ll play in Quicktime and other players
fine. Even some DVD players will play MP4.
