Sounds like a typical stoner, but he doesn't have to buy pot.

If there was a point, I must have missed it.

The same experience happened to me, it wasn't until I read one of his books that I realized what happened to me, I now have my own book about my owh experience , it was truly an awakening for me.

I've heard of him, didn't he then become quite the superstar self help guru and traveller of intellectual circles? Quite the topic for a skeptical discussion.

What happened? You heard God?

Quote:Tolle recalls going out for a walk in London the next morning, and finding that “everything was miraculous, deeply peaceful. Even the traffic."

The only thing 'miraculous' about London traffic is living through it.

No, but I did experience what is beyond the mind body organism, and of course the experience was through the mind, the experience itself wasn't what is beyond. I can only put the experience into words that are nothing more than pointers, for there is no way to conceptualize what is beyond.

I see. I don't believe anything is beyond the mind-body - rather, the things you felt were apart of your mind. Biochemical processes. Sam Harris is writing a book about Spirituality. Do you meditate alot?

No I don't meditate, my life is a meditation, of course there is something beyond the mind body organism. We can only know what we know through the mind, but there is a hell of a lot going on that we have no idea of.
