A New Earth: Awaking to your life’s purpose
These excerpts are from chapter one of the new best selling book By Echart Tolle
Also presented as a special world wide event with Oprah’s Book Club
“….flowers would come to play an essential part in the evolution of consciousness of another species. Humans would increasingly be drawn to and fascinated by them. As the consciousness of human beings developed, flowers were most likely the first thing they came to value that had no utilitarian purpose for them…
Seeing beauty in a flower could awaken humans, however briefly, to the beauty that is an essential pat of their innermost being, their true nature. The first recognition of beauty was one of the most significant events in the evolution of human consciousness. The feelings of joy and love are intrinsically connected to that recognition.
So when you are alert and contemplate a flower without naming it mentally, it becomes a window for you into the formless. There is an inner opening, however slight, into the realm of spirit.”
