>Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time — surrendered to life.

Can anyone (unironically) give me the lowdown on Tolle? My therapist offhandedly mentioned him and recommended giving his talks a chance. I may just be cynical , but I get a J. Peterson vibe from him. Like it's all empty bullshit

his net worth is $70 million. he goes around making eye contact with people who are lost and confused. questioning is the natural state of man. he exploits this by providing answers in a "spiritual" demeanor. people are then able to replace their fear with hope in following this "teacher" and believing he knows something about what lies beyond experience

You cannot step out of thought. There is no difference between you and thought. Any attempt you make to get out of thought is delusion and will cause more chaos.
