What I don't understand about Tolle's philosophy
So, apparently Tolle is very wealthy and what he does is teach middle to upper middle class people how to relax a little bit more while taking a lot of money for it but on the other hand telling others that they don't need money to be content (bizarre irony). But here's the real issue:
i have goals and ambitions. One of them is to achieve financial security. I come from a poor family . In order to achieve my goal, I must put in the work. Does Tolle want me to simply not do that ?
In general, I love achieving goals. I love going to the gym and seeing my body get stronger and thereby reducing my suffering, eat heathy, stretch, improve my financial situation to give my kids a better life and being to help others too.
But here's another thing. I actually don't know anybody and I mean anybody who lives like Tolle or according to his neo-spiritual philosophy. I genuinely know nobody in the west.
