understand Eckhart Tolle's Spiritual book A New Earth

I have thoroughly studied and read the spiritual book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. In this article I will give you tips on how to better understand A New Earth and also how to find out more about it.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A desire to read and understand Eckhart Tolle's spiritual book A New Earth
  1. Step 1
     

    Take this spiritual book A New Earth slow and if you do not understand some of it keep reading and come back to it later. A New Earth is deep, hard to read and takes time but, it is so worth the effort! I have read it 5 times and each time I understand more and get something new out of it.

  2. Step 2
     

    Go to Oprah.com and download the podcasts of the spiritual book A New Earth to your IPod if you have one or just watch some of the episodes on your computer. This will help your understanding so much as well as answer many of your questions. Eckhart Tolle and Oprah thoroughly explain and expand upon each chapter of the book.

  3. Step 3
     

    Do not rush through this spiritual book A New Earth read a few pages then stop. Eckhart Tolle suggests you contemplate what you have just read and chew on it for awhile.

  4. Step 4
     

    In Eckhart Tolle's spiritual book A New Earth a lot of the terminology may be new to you but Eckhart Tolle just uses his personal words for things such as the following:
    His word for God is Consciousness.
    His word for evil or bad is unconsciousness.
    His word for the greed, negativity, materialism and all the bad that lives inside us is ego.
    Do not get hung up on words if you do you will miss the point of A New Earth. Keep an open mind about this spiritual book and understand this does not go against any religion nor is it a new religion or belief system.

  5. Step 5
     

    Realize the whole purpose of the spiritual book A New Earth is to bring peace, awareness, understanding and Gods presence into your life. As well as helping you cope and rid yourself of anything unhealthy going on in your mind or current life situation. If you read this book you will awaken to a higher state of consciousness and understanding about yourself, life, the world and God. And you will be on your way towards dissolving your ego and creating A New Earth! Eckhart Tolle has an amazing ability of conveying truth and wisdom in his book A New Earth.

Tips & Warnings
  • If this spiritual book A New Earth is not interesting to you or you are just not understanding it that's okay. But hang on to it because it might be the perfect spiritual book for you at a later point in your life.
  • I have provided a link at the bottom to Oprahs webpage were you can click on spirit and view A New Earth webcast and learn more about the book and the author Eckhart Tolle.
  • There are alot of people out there that think this book is against religion and God. Please read the book A New Earth yourself and develop your own opinion!

on 10/30/2009 I love anything by Eckart Tolle. I have to get another copy of the Power of Now, left it on my last vacation. He also recommends the same practice of stopping and thinking in this book too. Thank you.

on 8/11/2008 Well done! It took Oprah a while to convince herself that she should champion Tolle's newest book.

on 8/2/2008 I read this book and understood what Eckhart Tolle is talking about. Not everyone will understand what Eckart is trying to convey and that's ok because it just means that they are not at that point in their life to truly understand the book.
