A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose (... ##TOP##
An article in Success magazine describes A New Earth as a "self-improvement book" that encourages its readers to live their lives in each present moment and to create happiness for themselves without emphasizing material possessions.[2] Tolle's intent is to change the way human beings think, and he envisions a world population that is increasingly humble, enlightened, and pure.[2] According to Tolle, the book's purpose "is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness".[3]
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (...
Early chapters of the book give simple explanations and provide a foundation for further concepts and ideas.[2] In "Chapter One: The Flowering of Human Consciousness", Tolle discusses the "inherent dysfunction in humanity" and proposes ways that readers may rise above it.[2] He then develops these concepts in chapters two, three, and four by offering his descriptions of the ego and its "vices."[2] In the book, Tolle defines the term ego as an "illusory sense of self"[5] based on one's memories and thoughts.[6] In chapters five and six Tolle uses the phrase pain body to describe the human tendency to carry "an accumulation of old emotional pain".[7] In chapters seven, eight, and nine: "Inner Space, Inner Purpose and Who You Truly Are", Tolle makes many distinctions: between "knowing yourself and knowing about yourself"; between the "Dreamer" and the "dream"; between the objects of consciousness and the space of consciousness; between outer space and inner space; and between outer purpose and inner purpose. In chapter ten, "A New Earth", Tolle gives his readers suggestions for implementation of his ideas in their personal life but cautions them by saying: "You are still an ordinary human. What is extraordinary is what comes through you into this world".[2]
In A New Earth, renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle describes how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. The purpose of this book is to bring about a shift in consciousness, or in his words, an awakening. An essential part of this awakening is the recognition of the ego, and our attachment to things, the past, and enemies. In Oneness with All Life, Eckhart Tolle has picked the essential phrases and paragraphs - the gems of the book - that he feels are most important and reorganized them so listeners can focus on the most powerful ideas.
In his first book in eight years, Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now) challenges us to dare to live in the present moment and thereby to transform our consciousness and live in the "joy of Being." Tolle reminds us that there are many obstacles to awakening to our life's purpose. When Jesus said "blessed are the poor in spirit," he was referring to those who travel light: without inner baggage and identification with things, mental concepts, or addictions. But the ego is hard at work in our mind creating new stories and resisting what comes to us in the present moment:

When Tolle says "awakening," he means awakening to your consciousness - being completely in the present moment and detaching from your ego, from wanting, from possessions, being and doing simultaneously.
