Let's tune in and drop out to OWN! Oprah please OWN us!Let's listen to the music Oprah tells us to! In fact, let's sing songs about her!Let's all subscribe to Oprah magazine!Let's eat the way Oprah tells us to eat!Let's all read only what she approves and tells us to!Let's only buy products endorsed by Oprah!Let's elect Oprah the Supreme Ruler of Earth! She's SO qualified!Oprah buy me a car! Oprah buy me a house!Oprah please BUY ME!To hell with thinking for ourselves anymore! Let's let Oprah think for us! Yeah!Oprah's word is as good as any God you worship! Let's write an Oprah Bible and make it her ultimate book club selection! Let's all buy it and live by it!All Hail Oprah!Come on people, please start thinking for yourselves.I found Oprah enjoyable and likable UNTIL she started pushing her politics and religion on an entire nation. (I'm religious neutral and Democrat, ok?). Oprah control overkill.Everybody has a right to their beliefs and the right to voice them them, but she's just become OBNOXIOUS with her brow beating in some arenas that she has no business asserting herself so heavy handedly.She's clearly losing her head... Please don't lose your head by lending her yours.HEY OPRAH, Chill out and you might win me back. Please quit going mad with power. Oh, and please show Dr. Phil the door. He's always been an obnoxious ass.

Another response that leads to another read from me...Spirit of Education by Jeff White. A worthy read for anyone who got anything from the New Earth Book. =)

You mentioned chronic pain, I haven't looked at your page, but you might try reading THe Mindbody Perscription by Dr. Sarno. I have had much success with physical issues that really began with the mind.

I guess it's not about rejecting the ego, but being aware that we are not "the ego". To recognize thinking as thinking. I would like to hear more about "getting to know my own soul" without having to die. ?!

If this book hasn't changed the way I behave toward my crew mates, it's certainly changed the way I think about them.I read the comments on "ego bashing". I'm not sure I got the message to reject the Ego. I felt Iwas more supposed to deal with him differently than I hae been. Hell, I've been talking to him. I scold the voice in my head for talking badly about people the way I would scold a subordinate for the same behavior. It's funny- uplifting funny. Ego and I will learn to deal better.
Virginia Wesleyan College. Very good Religion/Philosophy department there. It's where I started getting the idea of "getting to know my own soul" without having to die.

I found this book to be an eyeopener.It's not that it's got new concepts ; it's just that it is presented in a refreshingly different manner!
