Review title: Half-way up the mountain?
Product review: Does Eckhart Tolle really think he is enlightened, and can lead people to that place? Very, very doubtful. Good for him, he received some grace when he was in a depressed state, and had a mystical experience - but it's quite a leap to believe this is enlightenment. His words certainly don't have that ring to it - they are often confused, vague, overly verbose, and smacking of the kind of arrogance which typifies much of modern-day 'spirituality' coming out of the West (e.g., Wilber and Cohen). I wouldn't be surprised if things changed for Mr Tolle once the stage he is currently in has passed, if he's lucky. Still, I do think this book contains some good advice, and would probably be an excellent gateway into spiritual realms for 'beginners'. Just take it with a pinch of salt...
