Eckhart Tolle, a man who has already brought spiritual awakening to millions, is now coming out with a children's book. Due out on October 31, 2008, Milton's Secret is an illustrated book that will help young children understand the core of Eckhart Tolle's message.
Product Description:
"Eckhart Tolle has a simple message for everyone living in the Now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. With co-author Robert Friedman and illustrator Frank Riccio, Tolle now brings his message of the power of Now to children. Milton's Secret is the charming story of Milton, a bright, cheerful boy, who learns to overcome his fear of bullies and other scary things that sometimes frighten children. Children follow Milton's adventures as he learns to stop projecting his past fears into the future and live simply and happily in the moment."
After appearing on a 10 week online webinar with Oprah, Eckhart is doing an amazing job of further spreading his message. A children's book is a natural next step and I applaud this endeavor. My question is whether children will be ready for his message. Especially for kids 10-13, whose egos are just forming, it may be incredibly hard to separate themselves from the voices in their heads in order to recognize the stillness and power of the moment. There is an old saying, "You need to have an solid ego in order to lose your ego." Will Eckhart's message work on partially formed egos? We will see...
