new age religion oprah, you here a lot about oprah's involvement in the new age, along with her links to barack obama and is barack obama also into the new age or guided by oprah winfrey?.
some of this has come about with oprah using and promoting new age books like the secret, and the power of now by eckhart tolle.
"Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's New Age Revival"
oprah talking about new age with eckhart tolle, looking at the power of now, and ways to interpreting the bible to find deeper meanings in what jesus said.
one thing mentioned is "blessed are the poor in spirit, jesus said, for there's will be the kingdom of heaven". eckhart tolle interpreted this to mean "no inner baggage no identifications".
what eckhart is saying is not carrying stuff inside so your spirit is very light and has no burden, awakening and living in a free state of conscience.
this is a kind of new age christianity, as it is trying to update christianity, with a gnostic style christian style, new age religion oprah, is quite often on the oprah show.
eckhart tolle books as promoted by new age oprah winfrey, are interesting reads, the books i don't think that are good are books like the secret, as that seems fake and not practical.
i think eckhart tolle can be used along with bible study, though not all things in the new age are going to be christian, so research should be done, to see what compliments christian beliefs, and helps with ones meditation, but keep grounded and wary of cults.
you can learn things from new age religion oprah winfrey and eckhart tolle, but they are not really teachers, you are your own best teacher first, using religions like for example if you are christian, christianity as grounding.
