I did a little research on this, for those that don't know what is going on, Oprah is advertising this fellow's book through a weekly webcast. His name is Eckhart Tolle, I had never heard of him before, but he seems really goofy. His book is called A New Earth and teaches people to get in touch with their life's purpose by connecting with stillness and overcoming the disease of our society.

"The disease, of course, is the collective dysfunction of the egoic mind. " Quoting Eckhart Tolle, on Ophrah's website.

These numbers are from a webcast - not a "new church," it's just a self-help new age self appointed guru being advertised by one of the most dysfunctioning egoic minds on television today. After all, Oprah was destined for greatness.

She apparently thinks this man's teachings are so life changing and tremendous that to create this new earth we all have to connect to Life (God, Consciousness), so that we can evolve to a higher state of consciousness. There is One Consciousness and Oprah is its prophet, maybe people will fall for this, but it won't last long - it's just repackaged mysticism.

Of course, I suppose they don't see that it takes a fascinating dysfunctioning egoic mind to even contemplate such nonsense. Really goofy stuff, very sad, but it is a tremendous wake up call for how desperately America needs to hear the true gospel of the Grace of God.
