@Tengent he was more than an entertainer

@TheCmcskills Watts* Alan Watt is a completely different dude. I was first introduced to spirituality type of things through Alan Watts, then I heard about all of this Tolle stuff and it's really interesting to see the similarities, though Tolle doesn't talk a whole lot about the background behind his name (derived from a Christian mystic). Alan Watts was more of an entertainer of sorts.

look up alan watt

Tolle is pronounced 'tolie'? LOL A tolie is a Scottish slang word for a turd. Here's me thinking he was just a cheap kraut Krishnamurti wannabe, but now I know he's a turd, he's ok with me.

Further proof that mainstream media folks and the people that believe them are not playing with a full deck.

@megpea2332 On the contrary! I am being most positive in alerting people to what I perceive as the nonsense that is being purveyed by Tolle.

@okmmaster Thanks for responding! That is the point. Feeling "alive and conscious" is not enough. Things have to get done. The activity of the mind and appropriate emotional responses to the content of thought, is what makes us human. It is what has motivated advances, in the sciences, in the realm of social philosophy and spirituality. Despite the risks of identification of the content of thought with the essential nature of ones personhood - this is the hallmark of civilization.

@SayCremeFraiche he doesn't want it

@lourak why are you looking for the negative in things?

with what the Germans did in 2 world wars....this German makes it all even :)
Tolle is not saying anything new. He is saying what people like Buddha or Shankara were saying ages ago. What is important is that he is talking from the platform of his own realization, not just theory. It makes a tremendous difference.
