Hello1

E. Tolle not in Leo's booklist - too esoteric? Not interesting enough?

23 posts in this topic

Leo, what is you opinion on Eckhart Tolle's books? They didn't get to your booklist. I hope I'm not wrong but I never saw them there. Too simple? Too esoteric? Not interesting enough? I'm curious.

Eckhart Tolle’s teaching is very soft and beginner friendly. There is a reason he is so famous and appeals to a wide range of audience.

@Hello1 We do much more serious work here.

Really, what Eckhart Tolle teaches in a way cannot even be described as spiritual work. It’s children’s game.

It’s pure fantasy.

You underestimate the power in simplicity.

@Miguel1 i got some pretty cool insights from Tolle. His. Conscious breaths teachings are really good. He knows stuff but packs it for noobies.

The only other awakened beings i saw was Ralston and Marcus Aurelius.  Ralston's book of not knowing was stellar but I didnt even finish it because I awakened from Leo's stuff alone.  The other books I read from his list were Gandhi and Marcus Aurelius- also enlightened.   There is nothing from Rupert Spira or Spinoza on the book list either.

These teachers will only take you so far but they cannot take you as far as full awakening/solipsism as God

@Inliytened1 R. Spira is there

Really- haven't checked in a while.  Might be time to revisit the book list.  There are some gems there for sure.

The thing is Eclhart Tolle's practice wont take you to Eckhart Tolle's level. He did not get there by practice but by extreme suffering.

Then he should put it in his book if he is a teacher. I just mentioned in another thread that suffering is a key aspect of awakening.  Without drugs.  So if it takes a million broken hearts or sitting upon an icy mountain top naked - do it.
