I don’t think the book will make you dislike mankind, I think it teaches us to be more compassionate withourselves and gives us tools to be more aware instead of living unconscious lives. In using the tools , I find I have less judgment and more compassion for others.

I can honestly say, the more present I stay, the faster I’m making changes in my life. By changes, I mean getting real and being who I am versus who I thought I was. I am finally putting my focus on the things in life I value the most. No more excuses. I may have had a level of consciousness before, but I stay with it longer…does this make sense?

I highly recommend the podcasts. I’m going to get his book on CDs too.
Peace.

So far these are all pretty much things I have believed to be true for all my adult life. I am hoping it doesn’t make me dislike mankind more than I already do. It seems as if everyone I know is ego driven.

Greed .. lust… ego… envy… on a global level.. it’s the ruination of us all.
*sigh* It should be what separates us from animals.. but we are animals aren’t we?

what does the podcast do for people?

I believe the number of hens allowed are 3 or 4. No roosters of course. Most people think chickens are filthy and stinky, but those are the coops people don’t clean and the chickens that aren’t well cared for. In reality, the dog down the street who barks non-stop seems more of an issue than a few hens pecking around on the ground. I’m in an unincorporated part of the county, which makes it a bit easier. We actually have a few farms up and down the street.

I enjoy the podcasts. I mostly listen to them on the beach on my Ipod. The first two seemed like an introduction. Tolle has said the book isn’t for everybody. I’ve heard a similar message before in other ways, but this came along at the right time for me, and I can honestly say, the experience has been life changing.
I can’t believe how many things I did in life that had nothing to do with what I really want to be doing or enjoy doing. Even working no longer seems to be the means to an end. I can enjoy the work part. I just recognize that the ego will try to convince me that “shoulds” are more important to focus on. I can actually feel the shift in my body when the ego is doing negative talk about myself or other people. I bring my awareness in and I can be in the moment again and not in the future or past. My relationships no longer seem to be a chore in trying to reach a destination to some grand romantic illusion of what society (and ego) says love or relationship should be–I just focus on what is in the moment. I just feel more in touch with my true self now. I am more grateful for what is here and now, as I move and build into my future.

I started the Tolle book in part due to your raving about it. I’m 10 pages in. But left it by mistake in CT yesterday. Listened to the first podcast, and hated it. Once I finish the next chapter, will listen to the second podcast and see if it makes my insane.

BTW, Tolle sounds a lot like my Finnish Contractor in CT…
