Book Review
Author: Eckhart Tolle
Book Title: A New Earth
The book consists of ten chapters and 309 pages of inspiration. And so I entered the first chapter not knowing that I will be confronting myself and seeing the ugly creature I was.
My ego was staring right at me and I realised that I was a person that liked drama even though I claimed to seek for peace. At the end of the book I had a new awaken consciousness one that is responsible and free from sick patterns of behaviour that was destructive. I was always defining how people should live, what I wanted, what I needed. The truth is that I need to just let people be who they are. I am no better nor am I less than them, and so in this reading, the title of my next book is born. I have stopped searching for happiness and discovered the moment I have right now, I enjoy the moments in life before they disappear.
I recently realised that I was in love with the idea of someone and not with that person. I let him go and it was not hard because I am free from detachment to things and people. For the first time I am living a fuller life because I know that no person or thing defines me. I remain unchanged if I lose a penny or a friend. I may go through emotions and that is just that; emotions, it is up to me to decide if I will allow the emotions to be there for just a moment or a lifetime.
A New Earth comes highly recommended by me for anyone that wants a higher and deeper experience in life.
