Dear Joe:

Yes, I read it and I summarized it at the time. I have a word document with the summary. I also printed it. At the moment I don’t remember much but at the time thought highly of the book. I bet if I read it now i will question some things as I am more of a critical reader, but yes, I read it and took a lot of it in.

By the way, talking about traveling, I read that Eckard Tolle lives in Vancouver, British Colunbia which is just north of where I live! More than an hour drive, way less than two if traffic is clear and no border wait.

Back to our topic: The “false sense of salvation”- I wonder if it was mentioned in the book, the nature of that delusion of salvation, if he mentions it as forever-free-of-fear salvation.

The present moment is all we have. Becoming aware of the present moment is something else, never imagined there is so much to it. I think it is a developing skill, to be present. It has been taking me five years, since I was introduced to the concept more seriously by my then therapist, it has taken me five years and I am still just scratching the surface of awareness to the present moment.
