I bought the "Power of Now" a few months ago and, of course, Amazon[.com] made note of it in their database. But that's a GOOD thing because they recently notified me about Eckhart Tolle's new offerings: "The Realization of Being" - and - "Even the Sun Will Die"

I loved "The Power of Now" - a book, I feel, EVERYone would benefit from owning and reading time and time again. (A helpful practice until you 'get it' and can apply the concepts, his teachings to your daily life)

And because I enjoyed this book so much, I went ahead and ordered both of the reccomended tapes (actually, CDs).

"Even the Sun Will Die" is a beautiful work of art - and, like "The Power of Now" - is something you can (and WILL) listen to over and over and over again. DEFINITELY worth owning!

"The Realization of Being", however was a BIG disappointment. No, wait - A HUGE disappointment! ! !

It's obvious this particular CD is a recording of a workshop he gave somewhere, at some time - and that's all fine and good EXCEPT - it's like the workshop was a 4 hour event - and this tape only gives you hours # 2 and 3. So, you 'come in late' (and have to play catch-up) - and then the second CD bails out without a proper closing. Heck, you even hear Eckhart say on the tape: "We're going to take a lunch break now." - and then, that's it!

So, after thoroughly enjoying "The Power of Now" and "Even the Sun Will Die" - you can imagine how let down I felt after hearing this "haphazardly thrown together piece of mish-mosh".

Eckhart's a fine man - one of the folks who'll definitely lead us into the new era of unconditional love and peace - but this particular tape (as far as I'm concerned) is an embarrasment - and TRULY not the way to present the views and guidance of such a talented soul.
