Oprah's "Super Soul Sunday" with Eckhart Tolle

I'm not sure how this forum handles linking to off-site resources, or which category this belongs in (so General Banter is a safe bet, yes?), but there's this weekly thing going on at Oprah.com for her Super Soul Sunday... I don't normally watch anything with Oprah, but I'm a fan of Eckhart Tolle (enlightened by my standards anyway).
They're going over his book "A New Earth" (sequel to "The Power of Now") chapter by chapter, week by week.
They are on week three now... (though you may be able to find weeks one and two on Oprah.com or somewhere else, maybe YouTube?).

I have really enjoyed him so far. Did you see him explaining the ego and how it finds something to attach/identify with? His explanation of identity (child with the toy) was profound for me....
@Vastmind I watched the first two weeks. I'm about to watch the new one; I remember him talking about a child with a toy, and that sounds pretty apt to me!
I was going to buy the book, but he's going over it with such detail...I think I'll save the money. ..
.. I'm not all the way through with the second one...(I've been DVR in' it)...I'll catch up this week-end. Any things about part 1 or 2 that stood out for you?
Off topic: Ewwww...your eyeball is freaking me out! hahahaha
I had already read both books before starting to watch these videos, so I wouldn't be a good judge of things standing out (they stood out when I read it!). All I can say is that they're very packed with great questions and answers, and I hope people find them enlightening.
@Vastmind So strange you should say that. It's freaking me out too (it's part of a bigger picture with the four seasons and four eyes). I thought it was just me... I'll find something else.
in time, people are going to be thinking.... :scratch: "WHAT Eyeball.....?"
Yes @federica, that was my master plan to mess with people in the far future.
People might actually be able to see the other picture on my activity page (I know I can, and I assume moderators can, but not sure if there's any kind of privacy layer). Aaaaanyway, I'm off!
I've meant to try to read his work but I've never gotten round to it. I might download it so I can read it when I go for my next round of needles and other stuff.
Mr Cushion has been watching . . .
Great to see something like this being explored by someone of Oprah's standing. Mainstream dharma coming soon . . .
New one is out, and I know they don't keep them up forever (the first and second ones disappeared when they put the third one up!): http://www.oprah.com/own-a-new-earth/A-New-Earth-Class-4-Full-Episode-Video
