On March 3, 2008 internet records were broken when over 500,000 fans logged on to Oprah Winfrey's first online 'classroom' with Eckhart Tolle, author of "A New Earth - Awakening Your Life's Purpose", her latest book club choice.
When promoting this on her daily television show on February 28, 2008, Oprah said,
"I really do believe I was born to be a vehicle for this information to come to all of you. If you want to be a part of it, if you want to find out who you really are, join the largest interactive classroom in the world. It's free, because I want to begin to transform the world one reader at a time."
What is in Tolle's book that the daytime talk show diva believes she is a vehicle to promote? Here's just a few quotes from the book to give you an idea:
"A glimpse is enough to initiate the 'awakening' process which is irreversible."
"The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light."
"Sin is a word that has been greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted. To sin means to miss the mark, so to sin means to miss the point of human existence."
"The man on the cross is an archetypal image. He is every man and every woman."
Oprah is obviously a 'believer' in Tolle's new-age teachings, and other such books, like the "The Course in Miracles," which is being taught by Marinne Williamson on Oprah's radio show. During the first session with Tolle Oprah said, "I believe Jesus came to show us Christ-consciousness."
