Maybe you've been "Awake" too long to remember what it was like before that shift, but it would seem to me that this stuff could easily make no sense at all to those who haven't made that shift. I totally understand your perspective here, but it wasn't too long ago that I would have completely dismissed it as incomprehensible nonsense. > JS: Is it up for a vote? > > RG: I think actually it's already been voted on by the hundreds > of thousands of people who have read and enjoyed Tolle, or > watched him on Oprah, or read Byron Katie, and so on.

Judging from what I read on Oprah's message boards, even those who fully embrace Tolle are fully capable of humongous misconceptions and totally *not* getting it, despite embracing it wholeheartedly.
