Be Like Eckhart

Like Oprah's friend Michael Jordan, folks are publishing books to "be like Eckhart", Oprah's new spiritual friend.

After sitting on book store shelves pretty much unnoticed in 2005, Eckhart's book A New Earth is enjoying a fantastic revival selling over 3 million copies this spring during Oprah & Eckhart's joint webcast.

Other spiritual teachers, psychics, mystics, even fundamentalist Christians are trying to ride the Eckhart phenom to bring attention to themselves, their books, workshops, & teachings.

Fundamentalist Christians have been the most organized & vocal in protesting Eckhart's teachings because he paraphrases Jesus & the Bible often. So it's no surprise that a book called A New Earth An Old Deception: Awakening to the Dangers of Eckhart Tolle's #1 Bestseller just happens to look exactly like the cover of ANE. (How handy for Google search rankings.)

Other folks are offering classes, webcasts, even channelings claiming to facilitate Eckhart's teachings. They even have Google ads that sometimes appear in the advertiser column of this blog!
