MessageIn line with wendys book discussion and her us of the word yes(I assume this comes from Eckhart) I bring up Eckhart Tolle.
I have recently listened(audio books are the shizzy nizzy) through most of his old book, and have watched some of his video clips. http://www.youtube.com/user/EckhartTeachings , http://www.youtube.com/user/lef1111 .
I was guided to look into him, I was also intersted in understanding his language as he is now very popular. I love that he uses space insted of emptyness! I have felt a shift in his own chi field from the time of his book to today. I felt strong sharp piercing chi in the head from his book, able to cut through strong (really weak) minded adapts he had in his audiances over the years. He definitly does not come from the tradition of talking does not cook the rice. It is inner smile goes to the masses basicaly, but I would say with a lean tword yang aspect of the Alchemical path. Which I feel fits nicly in with the larger female crowd he is reaching, as well as the west in general. I think it is a nice first & last step. It is intersting to hear his story, it reminded me of a time Michael told us about some one he new that he believed to be what he called a jump in(I think thats what he called it)in which a soul does not want to go through the whole birthing process and will jump in when another is ready to go. Eckhart was suicidal and heavly depressed and one day he just changed and everything became new his house people he new ect. It is just a guess. It could also be that he went so far the other way that he was way more willing to let it all go. I find those that have hit rock bottum, and are weak, have more likly hood of such quick and spontanious transformation. "Strong" men especialy have a hard time with surrendering.
In listening to is book I was reminded of a phrase the heart follows the mind. I was thinking of the yi as the mind and the other chi phases as the heart, and this being the meaning of that phrase.
