Barack Obama’s connections to Oprah Winfrey and her New Age guru, Eckhart Tolle, are the least examined, yet most revealing, and by far the most potentially ruinous of the senator’s controversial associations. Obama claims to be a “committed Christian,” yet appears to support Oprah in the worldwide dissemination of Tolle’s and her virulent anti-Christian doctrine.
The closeness of the connection may now be paying off. Oprah has rejected the idea of having Republican Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin as a guest on her show before the election. Palin would seem a natural. Did Oprah put Palin aside because of her loyalty to Obama?
And who is Eckhart Tolle? According to his own account, after a childhood of trauma and a young adult life of despair and depression, Tolle, at age twenty-nine, experienced a psychic split in his personality during which his ego or his false, suffering-self collapsed, leaving him with the realization of his “true nature as the ever-present I am, consciousness in its pure state prior to identification with form.” Not long after that, he entered into what he calls his “new incarnation as a spiritual teacher.” Believe it or not, Tolle thinks that he has become the greatest living spiritual teacher on earth by overcoming “egoic delusion.”
Oprah accepts Tolle’s doctrine completely and promotes it globally with a fervor unmatched in her other pursuits, so we may call the foundation of their joint venture, the Oprah/Tolle doctrine. But what exactly is it?
According to Tolle, the Sacred Scriptures (the apostle Paul’s term) are no longer sacred, having lost their essence, power, and inspiration. Tolle himself is now the ultimate interpreter of all things spiritual. Tolle’s words, not Christ’s, “contain a great deal of spiritual power.” Tolle’s books, not the Bible, are “spiritually alive.”

Celebrities flock to these New Age cults because, like Scientology, they promote the idea of self as God.
These people can’t accept the idea of something bigger than themselves.
Good freaking grief!!! What’s with these empty headed women that follow GURUS??
Iow, Tolle decided that his career path was to separate the gullible and unstable from their money.
“Has Winfrey sold her soul to the devil?”
No, it’s probably more of a lease-purchase arrangement, so that the tax burden is shifted to more favorable terms. Oprah’s a smart businesswoman, doncha know...
Oprah is a tramp! Also is fat again
Oprah will have fewer viewers, which means fewer "weak willed" women will be swayed by her anti-Christian rhetoric.
She is known for her "many paths to God" views, and many women worship her.
I think Tolle just listened to the Sgt Pepper Album too many times.....and too much acid?
WITHIN YOU AND WITHOUT YOU
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion Never glimpse the truth
then it’s far too late-
when they pass away
When you’ve seen beyond yourself
then you may find peace of mind Is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we’re all one
and life flows on within you and without you.
She did that a long time ago when you started spouting off about candles and meditation. She’s a wack job.
“Has Winfrey sold her soul to the devil?”
It sure looks like it. Oprah is proof that just because a person is rich it doesn’t mean that they are intelligent, have morals or integrity.
My Mom watches Oprah and this explains a lot about why she has become a CINO (Christian In Name Only).
Acid will do that to you.
Kind of like being proud of your Humility Award.
No they are both whitey hating racists. Any white person that votes for obama is a naive fool.
Ms. Chubs is always ready to hop on the newest bandwagon whether it be religion, politics or dieting. And one can see, by the number of times her head spins around to the next “project” how valid each of these “projects” are. How she can attract as many viewers as she does amazes me-—unless they are all hoping to make it onto a show of her big giveaways.
There is nothing Christian about Oprah or Obama. Not one thing.
” Tolle himself is now the ultimate interpreter of all things spiritual.”
So, he is a Self-Declared Prophet.
Oprah’s WARREN JEFFS.
Second cup of coffee and the memeory kicked in. Dr. Baldhead is Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, big proponent of the Tao, big hit on PBS.
Should've avoided the brown acid
You're right. This guy is full of crap. But he says it earnestly! Sort of like Barack Hussein Obama...
I figure Obama would sign on to anything Oprah puts out there to keep her support.
I knew she’d gone off the deep end but didn’t realize how very far. Boy, in hell there are levels of torment and pain when one has a audience as large as she does and leads them down a path such as this if she does not find The Lord Jesus Christ again....her eternity is a horrible thing to even think about. She does need prayer.
Eckhart Tolle is a good guy. Oprah is, in fact, not listening to his message at all by embracing the dangerously ego-driven Obama - she's putting racial solidarity ahead of everything.
