Yes, I have read Eckhart Tolle's books, and watched many of his videos. So yes, I do understand the context behind these quotes, and I have still come to regard them as not as true as I used to regard them. You disagree, as you have made clear, so it looks like you and I just going to have to agree to disagree then doesn't it?

Your F1 analogy isn't actually true. I do understand what Tolle meant by the things he's said, but I still think some of what he's said is bullshit. For the record, I also think a lot of what he's said is true and helpful, and I did start both of my main Tolle articles by stating that.

What I said about there being no credible evidence that we survive human death as a conscious being. That's not totally irrelevant. If you go back and read what you previously wrote and what I was responding to, you will see that it is entirely relevant.

Anyway, Tolle himself is extremely rich and supposedly enlightened, so I doubt he cares one bit if someone like me writes an article criticising things he's said. Clearly it's a problem for you, though. But in the words of Tolle, any problem you have with what I've written is just an illusion in your mind. But also, the fact that you're reacting strongly to it means it's also in you.
