Regardless of your opinion of Oprah, especially after “The Secret,” I hope you’ll set aside your quarrel with her media empire and download the free podcast of her webcasts with Eckhart Tolle. You will have an insight with every episode. Eckhart is a brilliant teacher, and I have nothing but gratitude that Oprah has provided this great Q/A session with him for the world. Free.

Sometimes when we can see patterns behind the workings of the world; when we are traveling down the path of conscious awareness, we become excited and wish to share our feelings and experiences with others. But sometimes, they will not or cannot listen.
I was just sitting here watching The Matrix (a brilliant allegory for our existence), and this piece of advice from Morpheus to Neo struck me as something that we can take into consideration when we receive a cold response from others who do not understand what we understand.
You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so immersed, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
