“A Bible prophecy inspired Eckhart Tolle to write A New Earth – Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose. He explains, ‘This Bible prophecy seems more applicable now than at any other time in human history. It occurs in both the Old and the New Testament and speaks of the collapse of the existing world order and the arising of ‘a new heaven and a new earth.’
Eckhart expands on this Biblical prophesy through this description: ‘We need to understand here that heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of consciousness. This is the esoteric meaning of the word, and this is also its meaning in the teachings of Jesus. Earth, on the other hand, is the outer manifestation in form, which is always a reflection of the inner. Collective human consciousness and life on our planet are intrinsically connected.’
‘A new heaven’ is the emergence of a transformed state of human consciousness, and ‘a new earth’ is its reflection in the physical realm.
Since human life and human consciousness are intrinsically one with the life of the planet, as the old consciousness dissolves, there are bound to be synchronistic geographic and climatic natural upheavals in many parts of the planet, some of which we are already witnessing now.
Eckhart Tolle’s writings are illuminating, enlightening, and inspire hope for our future. His book, A New Earth, is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life – and for building a better world.”
