You gotta love it when the negative Christian naysayers make an attack video about Oprah and it turns out to be an awesome positive message FOR her. haha.
Thank you very much!
Go Oprah! You look beautiful!
And out of a possible 6 hours of filming from Eckhart Tolle webcast that they could have chosen to cram in an 8-minute youtube video they pick out the very best parts where he says several times: THERE IS NO DEATH.
excellent.
and I love how they call a 1-minute meditation a “mass trance”.
How funny. This is too good to be true.
Thank you very much. Spread the word: There is no death.

I need to watch the video when I have more time, but the line about the one-minute “mass trance” caught my attention. Aren’t these the same people who are always calling for a minute of silent prayer in public schools?
hahahahhahahahhahahaha.
Good observation!
I think the thing that bothers me about traditional Christianity is that it has evolved into a religion that worships the death of Jesus Christ, not his life. I hear more about his death, sacrifice, and crucifixion then about his life and his teachings. I would never say that one is more important than the other, but to focus exclusively on his death is a BIG mistake.
If you believe that Jesus is the only son of God and that he was sent to free man from sin, then his life and teachings have to be equally important. What he spent the whole of his adult life teaching is just as important as his death. Otherwise he could have just shown up, been crucified, and gone home having accomplished his goal.
Yes! Exactly! Amen. Great point!
Thank you Hayden.
Yes. The resurrection demonstrates that there is no crucifixion or sacrifice … so it’s like everyone missed the meaning of the resurrection and what it came to teach: there is no death! There is only life. Jesus lives! He didn’t die.
(so that’s why i think it is sooooo funny that they got Eckhart Tolle saying there is no death 3 times on a video intending to attack. hahaha. God is good.)
They totally got it right!
I agree with you: I don’t know why people keep teaching sin, sacrifice and crucifixion. It doesn’t make any sense to anyone who believes in the resurrection, or the teachings of Jesus.
“If I defend Oprah she is attacked.”
Who would defend Oprah unless they thought she was attacked, that the attack is real, and that their own defence can save her? And herein lies the folly of defence; it gives illusions full reality, and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult.
In my reading of ACIM it says that the #1 law of how mind works is that we must get the results of our own thinking. I am responsible for what I see. If that’s true then what the ressurection proves to me is whatever I think it proves. There are no neuteral thoughts, no objective proofs. Any objective proofs are thoughts of such things. That’s why the resurrection can prove two different things to two different groups of “joined minds” as in the Oprah/ACIM vs evengelical scenario.
Like EVERYTHING in the world (mind), the ressurection is a double edged sword.
What isn’t?
The principle of The Atonement.
Wow. I love that.
Don’t drink the kool-aid… that’s funny.
I have to remember not to judge. There is no them and us… whew! That’s a toughie!
It’s impossible to not judge, since that is a judgement….it’s more like how I envision quantum physics, total and non-local. As soon as I “remember to not judge”, I’ve already judged and now am trying to judge my way out of it. I think the Course says something like it’s not that we shouldn’t judge. It’s that we can’t. That’s a relief, isn’t it?
Love, Love, Love……….Let’s walk our walk and stop calling names. We will all find out in the end. The Isrialites are real, with a real history, and a real prophecy, some have come to pass, some yet to come to pass. It’s about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is real, LOVE is real. Educate yourself!
Thank you for sharing this, Lisa. It’s fascinating, isn’t it? Christians who attack as ‘unchristian’ people who are talking about love (A Return to Love), peace (rather than perpetual warring), Life, and unity with others. What does that say about their version of christianity?
What’s worse, in watching this sort of thing (or hearing it elsewhere), is that there seems to be no sense of irony in it, like “Hey, wait a minute. If I’m against love, peace, and life, what does that say about what I’m for?”
Love and blessings,
Jamie
