The Seer

Eckhart Tolle TV (ET-TV) has now been officially launched. Eckhart refers to it as, “Our little experiment – on this strange medium called, the Internet.” He acknowledges the irony of this ‘experiment’ as he himself does not even use email and writes his insightful books with a pen rather than a word-processor. He talks about this on a video clip: >>>HERE

At this time of accelerating transformation, in response to what he calls “the evolutionary impulse,” Eckhart is teaching in this new monthly webcast format designed to catalyze spiritual awakening, foster community, and provide clarity, guidance, and support. Now you have the opportunity to join with people across the globe to encounter Eckhart’s life-changing teachings.

Managed and operated by Live Dreaming Productions in NY, ET-TV offers you unlimited access to a private seminar series: each issue features a new, exclusive 60 to 90-minute streaming video with Eckhart. You also get unlimited access to the online ET-TV community to chat with members worldwide. Plus you get video shorts: 10 to 20-minute clips where Eckhart answers questions from members. There’s at least one hour of content for each issue.

Subscriptions to EckhartTolleTV.com are are available two ways – a monthly rate of US$14.95 or a 6 month subscription rate of US$74.75 (gives you one month free) To join up: >>>Click Here

And well, it had to happen, The Power of Now ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Meditation’ card decks are now available on your iPhone. Eckhart’s card decks have been available in print in bookstores worldwide. Each card in the decks contains powerful words of wisdom and inspiration from Eckhart’s writings. The iPhone application lets you enjoy Eckhart’s insights in a totally new way, allowing you to tap into the Power of Now anywhere and anytime if you have one of these devices.

And if that isn’t enough, Eckhart can now be found on Twitter. This is a free service that lets you keep in touch with Eckhart’s activities through the posting of short, frequent answers to one simple question: ‘What is he doing?’ Exerpts from Eckhart’s writings are also posted regularly. On 1/July/09, Eckhart already had 5,513 ‘Followers’. To join Twitter and start receiving updates brought to you by Eckhart Teachings: >>>Click Here

“Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

You may be wondering why The Seer hasn’t been updated for a few weeks, but Pete (the editor), had suddenly to go into hospital for another corneal transplant and is only now back ‘in the saddle’ so to speak. Thankfully, the operation went better than expected and, for the time being at least, he has enough useful eyesight to work with the computer etc. thanks to some helpful adaptive technology. The loving support expresed by many fellow seers at this time has been greatly appreciated by both Pete and Pearl.

You will also be aware that we have just moved this blog to a new host at name.com The new blog URL is clearsightblog.net The WordPress program has been updated to the latest version and future versions will now be updated automatically. We hope you like the new theme and the extra features expertly installed by Dave at Blue Cat Systems.

Also, if you’ve been a Peter’s Pearls subscriber, you’ll be wondering why these daily inspirational emails suddenly ceased on or about May 8th. Unfortunately, this was because the ISP that hosted our list and mailing program lost the list when they were upgrading their server … and, unbelievably, they didn’t do a backup before attempting this manoeuvre.

We may be able to partially restore the service with an old 2006 list, but this will inconvenience some past subscribers and miss many current ones. If you want to get back onto the list again, please go to: >>>Peter’s Pearls for further information and advice. Thank you for your patience.

Gurukula friend and coordinator of the Headless group, Sam Blight, was interviewed via Skype recently by US Never-Not-Here TV show host, Richard Miller. Owing to technical problems with the Skype transmission, they froze the video and that enabled clear sound reception.

Sam’s explanation of the Headless Way was one of the crispest, no-nonsense expressions I’ve heard and was obviously shared from personal experience — well worth a listen. The interview is accessible >>>HERE.

Last Official Act as President

In what he hoped would be the capstone to his eight years as President, George W. Bush today signed an executive order repealing the English language.

Scrawling his name on the official document, Mr. Bush said that in abolishing English he had vanquished his “greaterest enemy.”

For Mr. Bush, the executive order represents the realization of a longstanding dream that began in 2001 when he declared an official War on Grammar.

The President followed up that declaration of war in 2003 when he signed an executive order cancelling the agreement between nouns and verbs.

Mr. Bush’s decision to repeal the English language could complicate matters for his successor, President-elect Barack Obama, who is scheduled to deliver his inaugural address later today, presumably in English.

But thoughts of Mr. Obama seemed far away during today’s jubilant Oval Office ceremony, which Mr. Bush summed up in four words: “I can has legacy.”

Mr. Bush’s executive offer also drew high praise from a fellow Republican, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska: “Being that the English language can and has been used in confusing and also too in harming ordinary Americans, knowing that it no longer can or will be used in doing that is something positive that this is doing also.”

Some have described it as a revelation and an inspiration, a powerful film about real people in search of real truth and a film about spiritual awakening in our everyday lives.

Closer Than Close is a recently released documentary with positive reviews from a wide range of figures in the spiritual community including: Hardcore Zen author Brad Warner, Janwillem Van de Wetering – author of the Zen classics The Empty Mirror and A Glimpse of Nothingness, and Academy-award winner Bruce Joel Rubin – writer of Jacob’s Ladder.

Former Tricycle associate publisher John Kain does an excellent job of summarizing the film: “…a deftly crafted a poignant tale that weaves the stories of a handful of seekers bivouacked at various stages along the spiritual path with the straight-talk wisdom of three extraordinary individuals who have seemingly put an end to seeking. These are real stories of struggle and despair, friendship and hope, but above all, insight.”

If you haven’t done so already, you may like to check out the Oprah Eckhart . Com blog. It seeks to explore the deeper psychological, cultural, and spiritual implications of the Oprah-Eckhart Webcast phenomenon.

The latest post is headed: ‘The Christain protest-fest continues.’

Many 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 often paraphrases Jesus & the Bible. 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.

Others are offering classes, webcasts, even channelings, claiming to facilitate Eckhart’s teachings. Their own Google ads sometimes appear in the advertiser column of this blog!

Meanwhile, the blog continues to share the real Eckhart & Oprah webcast. There’s footage from the 3rd segment of Chapter 8, where Eckhart challenges evangelicals by saying “at the center of all religions, there is only one God.”

Recently, with the CERN Haldron Collider being spoken of in the news, I learned that the quantum scientists have a theory that there is something unseen ‘behind’ this world.

They say this world is a mirror image of another world and they called this theory “Super Symmetry.” Super Symmetry purports that there is the ‘higher version, real version of this ‘reflection world’ we seem to be living in … Now isn’t that interesting!?

Haven’t we been shouting that there is a “higher self” all along and that “heaven is at hand, but men see it not”. And that this world is made in the image and likeness of God?

Our Heart has known these things after all, but now it seems that it will be the quantum scientists who will confirm this to the world view or as we say ‘rest of our self’.

Low and behold, as the scientists search for the ‘God Particle’ they will be coming face to face with the tangible confirmation that there is nothing going on here but Divine Mind, – They are calling it “an immaterial wisdom.” and they say it is creating this tangible world.

And they may even have to go further, and admit that this Immaterial Wisdom is the same as Divine Intelligence which is none other than Ineffable Godhead Being which is The Source-without-a-source that is Complete, Single, Alone and Total.

That One includes all that is or ever will be and there is nothing else Here but This Light, and this Light is the very Light that any sense of ‘you and me’ is made of.

They will have to conclude that Life is Subjective and includes the seemingly objective, and in fact we are all just looking at Our Self.

We have just heerd that Eckhart Tolle has co-written a children’s book which is due to be released in late October. It’s entitled: Milton’s Secret: An Adventure of Discovery through Then, When, and The Power of Now. Beautifully illustrated in full color, this 40 page hardcover book is designed to 4-8 year-olds, but wlll appeal to all ages.

Eckhart Tolle has a simple message for everyone — living in the Now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. With co-author Robert Friedman and illustrator Frank Riccio, Tolle now brings his message of the power of Now to children.

Milton’s Secret is the charming story of Milton, a bright, cheerful boy, who learns to overcome his fear of bullies and other scary things that sometimes frighten children. Children follow Milton’s adventures as he learns to stop projecting his past fears into the future — and live simply and happily in the moment.

Milton’s Secret will not only appeal to the millions of readers of Tolle’s other books, but also to any parent who wants to help their young children overcome typical childhood fears. Clearsigh hopes to have copies available on or soon after the release date.
