Competing to GIVE rather than GET

Hi, I don't think I've cried so much in awhile because I'm touched so warmly LOL... this is AWESUM! I didn't realize this show was on, and didn't see the previews for it, so I figured maybe someone who reads my blog is also unaware as I was, so I want to share this heartwarming competitive show with others who may not know about it.

There are in fact, lots of people out there who do want to make a difference in others' lives... for the most part, this proves that there are good people out there. And giving service or charity still exists very much so. Thank you Oprah for your efforts to not only make a huge difference but to keep the spirit alive in sharing and giving service to those who need it.

Book Description
Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.
