This Monday's webcast was one of the largest online events in the history of the Internet. More than 500,000 people simultaneously logged on to watch Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle live, resulting in 242 Gbps of information moving through the Internet. The first class can be watched online at oprah.com, or in YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=bDeLYSu8RPE).

In his invitation letter Eckhart Tolle says: "I invite you to join Oprah and myself in our weekly online sessions. We will be studyingA New Earth, but not as an academic subject or in order to acquire new theories or beliefs. Our aim is to explore through the teachings of the book the most important question you can ask: What is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose? It will be a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment. Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself that perhaps you didn't know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare occasions. Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself."

USA Today reports that "About 3.5 million copies of Eckhart Tolle's spiritual self-help guide have been shipped since Winfrey announced her selection four weeks ago." (http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2008-02-28-new-earth-sales_N.htm)

"A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle

This book has a potential to change your life and make it more meaningful, purposeful and happy. After reading just the first words, it becomes clear that it's not an ordinary book. It is an extremely powerful condensation of wisdom, love, and care about the current spiritual state of humanity expressed in simple words that everybody can relate to. Eckhart Tolle provides us with a practical guide for transforming our egoic conciousness that leads us to more and more suffering into a new level of understanding and experiencing who we really are. This process can be compared to a re-birth, because we used to know who we really are when we were just born. As we were going through life, we picked-up a lot of unnecessary beliefs and thought patterns that disconnected us from this knowledge. Right now, humanity has an opportunity to remove the blocks that are stopping its evolution and jump to a new level of consiousness. Eckhart Tolle says: "Millions are now ready to awaken because spiritual awakening is not an option anymore, but a necessity if humanity and the planet are to survive. Everything is speeding up – the madness, the collective egoic dysfunction, as well as the arising of the new consciousness, the awakening."
