really liked it
bookshelves: 4-star-reads, spirituality-buddhism-self-help

There are a plethora of self-help books and new age spiritual awakening guides that all claim to have the power to change your life in a positive way; they all suggest a new way of thinking is required to alter your reality: they suggest that something more is needed to reach the next level of human consciousness.

The problem with most of these books is that such ideas are extremely difficult to define accurately in words. They feel vague and often like they are scratching the surface of large concepts that they cannot quite grasp. Simply put, the writers cannot quite articulate their ideas well enough to their readers. Because how does one precisely describe the moment of an acute realisation? How to you encapsulate a spiritual awakening with words never mind pave the way to it?

I believe Eckhart Tolle is one of the best in the business. His words are some of the closest I have read that describe such concepts. And this is because of his deep understanding of theology, which is not tarnished by dogma or prejudice. He understands the healing quality present in religion and he uses it in an attempt to teach mankind, to try and make him more awake.

I enjoyed reading his ideas here, and I will keep reading his works to see what more wisdom he has to impart.

Valetta Leonardo Alan Watts is another eloquent philosopher who has clarity such as Tolle in perception of reality. Watts is a little more free-spirited, but I highly recommend. :)
