A New Earth
Who would have thought that one of the most Powerful Women in the world would be thinking just as I have been thinking. And all that time I felt alone in my thoughts. I felt as though people thought I was weird, or odd. I was ashamed of it but now I have learned to appreciate everything.
Since Operah has expressed her thoughts on life and religion she has been constantly under attack. Before these very same people watched her show faithfully! Before these very same people almost worshipped her because she brought them a sense of hope and understanding. They never knew exactly how she became so resourceful. All they knew was that she somehow brought light into their cloudy days.
Now that Operah has begun this Enlightening Movement, people have called her the Anti-Christ among other horrible labels. Mind you these are the very same people who were faithfully tuned in to her show every week. This reminds me of the story of Jesus.
People are so Afraid of what they don't know and simply can't understand. If they can't comprehend it, then something must be wrong, right? No, wrong. I have taken the liberty of posting a few of Operah and Eckhart's Web Class videos. These classes are found at www.operah.com/anewearth
To summerize:
This online class is not for or against any religion. It is intended to help all human beings, all over the world, bring about a shift in consciousness. Eckhart says, "How spiritual you are has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to do with your state of consciousness." Some people wonder how spiritual awakening and engagement in a religious tradition can work together.
In The Power of Now, Eckhart writes, "When I occasionally quote the words of Jesus or the Buddha…or from other teachings, I do so not in order to compare, but to draw your attention to the fact that in essence there is and always has been only one spiritual teaching, although it comes in many forms. Some of these forms, such as the ancient religions, have become so overlaid with extraneous matter that their spiritual essence has become almost completely obscured by it. To a large extent, therefore, their deeper meaning is no longer recognized and their transformative power lost. When I quote from the ancient religions or other teachings, it is to reveal their deeper meaning and thereby restore their transformative power-particularly for those readers who are followers of these religions or teachings. I say to them: there is no need to go elsewhere for the truth. Let me show you how to go more deeply into what you already have."
