Maybe > that's why I couldn't understand it? Then maybe > not???? devi: hmm, i honestly don't know much about tolle except that at one time he was a very insecure individual..and then had some sort of realization and then he felt secure...i've also heard that he is proficient in the non-dual speak and that alot of people are reading his books and thinking he's reached enlightenement..so, i could have thought that was a serious turnabout for him...anyway i don't pay attention to anyone or an text that doesn't clearly talk about God or the Self...or kaivalya and the higher samadais....it's a pretty straight and narrow path...
