Oprah’s A New Earth Webcast: My Check-in
One of the most viewed posts on my blog is of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and Oprah’s webcast class. I thought, since we’re half way through, it would be appropriate to discuss my journey with this book.
If I could grade myself on my perfomance with Oprah’s class as well as the book, I’d have to give myself a solid D. Not good. Here’s why:
Although I’ve downloaded every single class show (or I’ve watched it live on Monday nights), I’m still not past Chapter 3 (currently, we’re supposed to be on Chapter 7). I can’t blame a busy schedule because there are several days in the week where I’m not extremely busy. I can’t blame disinterest as well since I really do love this class and this book. I’m not sure why I can’t get it together and get to Chapter 7.
One thing I do love about this book is the discussion of being in the present. Something I personally suck at is always thinking about the past or the future. I never truly live in the present. And I can see, I’m grading myself a B on this since the book and the webclass have really made me begin to live presently.
So, this is my mid-semester grade I’m giving myself. I hope to report a better grade in the next few weeks.

This book is nothing but new age trash

Sally, as much as we respect others opinions on my blog, in all due respect, why don't you read the book before making a judgement on it. Clearly, if you HAD read the book, this comment wouldn't even be in existence because you would have realized just how wrong you truly are.

I started this book too. I'm like you in that I don't pick it back up as often as I should. I like it though. It's a good reminder of things I feel I already intrinsically knew.
