People often come to me to ask questions about Eckhart…
““People often come to me to ask questions about Eckhart Tolle. If they had read my books they would not need to ask such questions. The contradiction between what their instinct tells them to do in search for answers and what their brain tells them to read is too obvious to be ignored. It is like drinking milk when wanting for water, and asking me why the water tastes like milk. And yet, if the stupid knew they were stupid, they would not be stupid. I respect Eckhart Tolle as a very basic writer. He made people start asking questions that authors like me will be answering.””
