Questioning It is an undisputed fact that there is a wave going across the globe. It causes many people to question their attitude, their thinking about our existence, its meaning and its goal. The outstanding representative of those who seek to make “Eine neue Erde” manifest, is certainly Eckhart Tolle.

Intellectual effortHowever, there is clearly a discrepancy, a somewhat blurry, nonetheless tangible dividing line between the intellectual efforts, the efforts of the mind to redefine, and the demands of everyday life, which is obviously so unimpressed by these approaches. Simply, it often seems that this way of thinking is not suitable for everyday use. The struggle for life seems more and more importantSublime thoughts that are very difficult to reconcile in a world of wars, concrete social problems and the many private difficulties in dealing with these demands. An uplifting thought exercise that has to take a back seat - in view of the enormous difficulties that the daily struggle for survival clearly demands. Realization almost impossible?Now, this should be clear, an intellectual rethinking, the change in the system of perception and experience is always a very self-centered, subjective story. Changes can only take place and become effective in these thought patterns. However, since there is such an obvious discrepancy between the required, sought-after, new structures and what happens to us as everyday life that has to be mastered, a holistic reflection of these fresh approaches is apparently very difficult. Just a little "wanting" is necessaryIn this context, it is extremely comforting that such a radical reversal, an almost destructive change in what we are as human beings in these, the dominant bonds that perception reveals, is not required of us at all. Rather, the pure willing, i.e. the decision to try to understand, is completely sufficient. We already wonThis means, whoever gets involved with these ideas with his mind, which are described in many thousands of ways, as in Buddhism, actually all religions, has already won. The will to understand is already completely sufficient. Everything else can, must and will go by itself.
