Today, Saturday, March 29, 2008, from 8:00 PM-9:00 PM , Earth Hour invites people to turn off their lights and non-essential appliances for one hour for energy efficiency. This global effort emphasizes the need for increased awareness and positive actions to alleviate the destructive pattern of global warming and the drain on our environment.

Oprah’s web event has pushed the sales of the book, A New Earth, to over 5 million copies and the viewers of the teleclass to over 200 million! History is truly in the making NOW.

Some of the passages from the book that have been discussed and are worthy of further pondering, include the following:

Beyond Ego: Your True Identity, page 78. All that is required to become free of the ego is to be aware of it, since awareness and ego are incompatible. Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. This is why we may also call it Presence. The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.

Role Playing: The Many Faces Of The Ego, page 104. You are a human being. What does that mean? Mastery of life is not a question of control, but of finding a balance between human and Being. Mother, father, husband, wife, young, old, the roles you play, the functions you fulfill, whatever you do—all that belongs to the human dimension. It has its place and needs to be honored, but in itself it is not enough for a fulfilled, truly meaningful relationship or life. Human alone is never enough, no matter how hard you try or what you achieve. Then there is Being. It is found in the still, alert presence of Consciousness itself, the Consciousness that you are. Human is form, Being is formless. Human and Being are not separate but interwoven.

The Secret Of Happiness, page 115. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don’t live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.
