I wish there was a function on Goodreads that says; recommend less like this. Because wow, I can't believe the overwhelming positive reviews.
Heal through prayer, with the “power of the Lord”, no references, boastful talk about wonders but no proof, talk about his church... This reeks like post war Guru bullshit to me. If any one wants this book, you can get mine. This is worthless to me.
Just like Power of Now, this is a catchy titled book filled with repetition and long winded unbacked stories by people who think they received godly powers from a god or spiritual being.
Disturbed by the amount of confident incorrectness in his statements. “Animals don't know negativity”, “Menstrual flows are the collective pain of all women in past history”, “all love is the love of God”, etc. He has no proof whatsoever, his arguments are based on overgeneralisations. Yet, he's extremely confident that what he's saying is the truth.
Making opinions sound objective by false dialogue is not the way to convince me to believe you.
While I've enjoyed the emphasis of Now theory, Eckhart's overconfident argumentations and scornful way of providing them gives me a know-it-all-guru and cult-like vibe. That doesn't sit well with me, because I've learned no truth can be 100% sure.
2,5/5, wouldn't recommend, but there are valuable insights about suffering and presence.
