April 17th, 2008 - First class with Oprah and Ekhart
Interested in what Tolle has to say? Above you’ll find the first class between the two, where Ekhart discusses the book, its inspiration, how it applies to readers, and Oprah’s perspective on its “life-changing” power.Although the book and its authors are getting rave reviews, the content is not christian. Tolle isn’t promoting God. Rather, he believes that Life is our inspiration, how we contribute, how we interweave into Life’s purpose,. Christianity has become more like a culture, as Tolle believes, when really the Bible and Jesus wants us to learn a deeper path.
Oprah refers to herself as a “free-thinking” Christian who refuses to believe there isn’t any other way to God but through the Father. Out of 6 billion people there must be more ways to God, which Tolle also discusses in chapter 1 — however it depends what she means by “other ways”. Different ways to get saved? Or different Gods to praise? Or what?
Watch and see if you agree.
