With	his	bestselling	spiritual	guide	
The	Power	of	Now
,	Eckhart	Tolle	inspired
millions	of	readers	to	discover	the	freedom	and	joy	of	a	life	lived	“in	the
now.”	In	
A	New	Earth
,	Tolle	expands	on	these	powerful	ideas	to	show	how
transcending	our	ego-based	state	of	consciousness	is	not	only	essential	to
personal	happiness,	but	also	the	key	to	ending	conflict	and	suffering
throughout	the	world. Tolle	describes	how	our	attachment	to	the	ego	creates
the	dysfunction	that	leads	to	anger,	jealousy,	and	unhappiness,	and	shows
readers	how	to	awaken	to	a	new	state	of	consciousness	and	follow	the	path	to
a	truly	fulfilling	existence. Illuminating,	enlightening,	and	uplifting,	
A	New	Earth
	is	a	profoundly
spiritual	manifesto	for	a	better	way	of	life—and	for	building	a	better	world.AGONY	OR
TRANSFORMATION? CONQUER
YOUR	EGO	AND	CHANGE	THE
WORLD
	
On	a	daily	basis,	news	on	the	radio,	newspapers,	and	television	show	us	the
evils	that	afflict	our	world. War,	violence,	and	human	catastrophes	that	affect
us	to	a	greater	or	lesser	degree. Although	we	see	that	in	some	aspects	society
improves,	there	are	always	facts	that	show	us	how	society	in	general	is
dominated	by	endless	violence	from	a	breed	that	is	never	satisfied	and	only
causes	destruction. Because	of	this,	as	Eckhart	Tolle	says	in	his	work,	"a	significant	portion	of	the
Earth's	population	will	soon	recognise	if	it	has	not	already	done	so,	that
humanity	now	faces	a	harsh	choice:	evolve	or	die." What	is	the	origin,	the	reason	for	all	of	this	decadence	in	the	world? That
cause	is	in	our	minds. In	our	own	minds	is	where	the	reasons	for	conflict,
misery,	unhappiness	lie. Caught	up	in	the	past	or	in	the	future,	never	leaving
alone	what	was	or	what	will	be,	our	egos	dominate	us	and	keep	us	from	the
true	happiness	and	fullness	that	holds	each	moment	of	the	present. If	we	can	succeed	in	overcoming	our	collective	ego	and	stripping	ourselves	of
its	yolk,	then	we	may	contribute	to	building	a	better	world.OUR	INNER	AND	OUTER
MADNESS
	
Society	at	large,	as	well	as	the	people	of	whom	it	is	made	up,	are	showing	a
dementia,	a	kind	of	"chronic	paranoid	delusions,	a	pathological	propensity	to
commit	murders	and	acts	of	extreme	violence	and	cruelty	...",	says	the	author. Fear,	greed,	and	ambition	for	power	are	the	engines	that	move	these	insane
behaviours,	driving	our	heartbreak	and	eventual	annihilation. The	great	historical	currents	of	spirituality	have	recognised	this	dysfunction	in
the	mind	of	man. According	to	Hinduism,	it	is	a	network	of	collective	beliefs:
a	“Maya,”	made	up	of	illusions	and	mirages,	a	"veil	of	ignorance",	which	is
instilled	in	all	of	us. One	of	the	most	famous	spiritual	leaders	of	India,
Ramana	Maharshi,	expressed	that	"the	mind	is	Mayan",	referring	to	the
collective	mental	illness	of	man. Buddhism	treats	this	idea	in	a	different	way,	recognising	the	“dukkha,”	which
represents	the	suffering	and	misery	which	Buddha	saw	as	essential
components	of	the	human	condition. Christianity,	in	turn,	speaks	of	sin,	a	word	that	in	its	Greek	origins	as
translated	from	the	New	Testament	designates	the	loss	of	the	road,	the	goal,
and	the	end. To	sin	is	"to	miss	the	mark”;	to	lose	the	core	of	human	existence. In	contrast,	each	of	these	spiritual	traditions	carries	a	trait	that	points	to	the
positivity	of	this	dysfunction. Enlightenment	enables	Hindus	to	shed	these
sensory	mirages	of	the	Maya;	followers	of	Buddha	come	to	the	points	of
awakening	and	react	to	the	suffering	of	the	dukkha;	Christians	speak	of
salvation,	of	encountering	the	path,	the	spirit,	and	the	peace. According	to	the	author,	we	carry	a	heavy	backpack	composed	of	extensive
cultural	baggage	that	we	inherit,	from	which	it	takes	much	to	free	ourselves. Humanity	has	made	important	advances	in	science,	technology,	and	art,	but
has	not	been	able	to	save	itself	from	this	destructive	force	of	the	insanity,	the
madness	of	our	sins	and	suffering. To	see	proof	of	this,	we	may	look	to	the	settlers	of	our	planet	have:	we	have
witnessed	the	overwhelming	development	of	implements	dedicated	to
destruction,	from	bombs	and	machine	guns	to	poisonous	gas	and	biological
weapons. Mass	killings	in	Soviet	Russia	and	the	massacre	of	a	quarter	of
Cambodia's	population	at	the	hands	of	Khmer	Rouge's	ruthless	regime	are
clear	signs	of	this	sad	reality. There	has	come	a	time	when	man	not	only	attacks	man,	but	turns	against	the
very	nature	of	the	Earth. We	destroy	forests	and	jungles,	pollute	the
atmosphere	and	water	sources,	and	slaughter	animals. All	of	these	contribute
to	a	devastating	view	of	our	planet	in	which	violence,	greed,	and	hatred
continue	to	dominate,	to	condemning	us	to	disappear. The	beginning	of	change	is	to	recognise	our	folly. "Recognising	one's	own
madness	is,	of	course,	the	emergence	of	sanity,	the	beginning	of	healing	and
transcendence." These	words,	spoken	by	Tolle,	show	us	the	beginning	of	the
road. Let	us	acknowledge	in	each	of	us	the	fears,	lusts,	and	desires	for	power
that	drive	us. In	doing	so,	we	will	surely	discover	the	cause	of	our	confrontations	and
misunderstandings	within	our	families,	in	our	work,	and	with	our	friends. Meditate	on	this	idea. Observe	and	recognise	in	yourself	the	inherited
madness	that	keeps	you	from	being	happy. This	is	the	first	step	toward
building	a	new	world. CHANGE	IN	CONSCIOUSNESS,
CHANGE	IN	BEHAVIOUR
	
People’s	actions	are	motivated	by	their	consciences,	not	their	beliefs. Your
state	of	consciousness	determines	your	behaviour	and	interactions	with	the
world	and	with	other	human	beings. It	is	not	enough	to	simply	have	noble	beliefs,	to	believe	in	the	good. It	is
imperative	that	we	integrate	these	beliefs	into	our	very	being. We	must
internalise	these	convictions	so	that	our	consciousness	may	change	to	embody
the	values	in	which	we	believe. Once	our	consciousness	has	transformed,	our	actions	and	behaviours	will	be
able	to	change,	following	the	pattern	set	by	our	psyche. The	author	presents	the	concepts	of	Heaven	and	Earth	not	as	physical	places,
but	rather	as	two	levels	of	existence:	a	new	Heaven	designates	the	emergence
of	a	new	human	consciousness	that	has	integrated	its	noble	beliefs;	Earth,	for
its	part,	the	manifestation	of	a	consciousness	on	the	physical	plane,	the
actions	of	people. How	does	one	achieve	this	necessary	change	of	consciousness? The	first	step
is	to	know	our	current	state,	to	know	our	situation,	and	starting	from	that
knowledge,	to	begin	to	change.IN	SEARCH	OF	THE	SOLUTION
	
History	shows	us	the	attempts	of	individuals	or	groups	who	have	tried	to
come	to	the	aid	of	society. Social	movements	have	emerged	to	try	to	avoid	a
universal	collapse. An	example	of	this	is	Communism,	which	has	largely
failed	in	the	world;	partly	because	of	the	very	leaders	who	created	it,	as	they
did	not,	in	essence,	embody	its	principles. They	did	not	change	themselves,
which	crippled	their	ability	to	change	others. Religious	leaders	tried	to	become	vehicles	of	this	new	spirit	for	the	benefit	of
the	world,	from	Buddha	to	Lao	Tzu. Their	influence,	however,	have	been
limited. Many	were	misunderstood	by	their	followers,	their	messages	blurred	and
distorted	so	that	the	strength	of	their	leadership	was	not	enough	to	drive	the
necessary	change. Ideas	were	often	added,	diluting	the	original	message. Some	teachers	were	killed	for	their	preaching,	others	revered	as	gods. The
message	of	Jesus'	goodness,	humility,	and	union,	as	well	as	his	preaching	of
mercy	and	love,	were	transformed	into	a	religion	of	hatred	and	division,
feeding	the	madness	he	had	set	out	to	heal. The	Crusades	and	the	Spanish
Inquisition,	carried	out	under	the	mantle	of	Christianity,	brought	nothing	but
widespread	devastation. Likewise,	scientific	and	technological	progress	that	carries	the	potential	for
great	benefit	to	mankind	has	been	turned	to	enhance	the	human	capacity	to
destroy	and	to	kill	one	another	and	the	planet. Violence,	slavery,	and	torture	have	always	been	part	of	human	history,	but	the
twentieth	century	has	taken	these	calamities	to	unsustainable	new	levels	level. Evolve	or	die;	this	is	the	Human	Dilemma.EGO:	THE	ROOT	OF	OUR
PROBLEM
	
To	overcome	the	inner	impulses	that	lead	to	destruction,	we	must	understand
that	the	ego	dominates	us,	that	it	is	what	strengthens	the	negative	forces	that
we	carry	within	ourselves. Identification	is	the	structure	by	which	the	ego	exists:	identification	with
forms	of	thought,	both	in	physical	and	emotional	forms. The	extent	of	our
identification	with	these	forms	is	the	extent	to	which	we	allow	them	to
become	our	identity. The	consequence	of	this	identification	is	the	ignorance	that	we	have	toward
the	connection	between	the	"being"	and	the	"everything"	within	the	Source. This	separation	is	what	causes	our	problems. It	dilutes	our	awareness	of	the
interconnectedness	between	every	person	and	the	rest	of	the	world. We	are
settled	in	our	Maya,	our	dukkha,	our	sins. From	there,	we	lose	our	way. We
begin	to	act	on	our	madness,	to	promote	the	evil. We	live	floating	in	our	identification	with	our	mind,	and	thus
misunderstandings	appear	throughout	the	world. It	is	in	this	way	that	the	ego
deceives	us	and	makes	us	believe	that	our	being	and	our	identity	is	composed
of	achievements,	material	possessions,	and	history. We	manufacture	a	perception	in	our	minds	that	gives	us	an	image	of	who	we
are,	an	image	that	is	based	on	deception	and	fallacy. It	is	necessary	to	our	development	that	we	break	free	of	the	identification	thatthe	ego	has	lead	us	to. We	must	free	it,	therefore	freeing	ourselves,	in	order	to
begin	to	change. Releasing	the	ego	is	not	easy,	but	it	is	essential	to	leaving
behind	discontent,	insecurity,	anxiety,	and	everything	that	makes	us	unhappy. Releasing	ourselves	from	the	ego	does	not	mean	simply	giving	up	our	love	for
material	goods,	our	constant	search	for	forms;	it	is	more	than	just	that. To
renounce	the	ego	required	that	we	convince	ourselves	that	we	are	not	what	we
think	or	what	we	feel. It	is	only	our	True	Selves	that	can	achieve	this,	because
only	our	True	Selves	can	observe	the	flow	of	consciousness	by	transcending	it
and	acting	as	an	external	observer. Tolle	illustrates	this	with	an	example. As	a	student,	one	day	he	was	travelling
on	the	subway. He	saw	a	woman	acting	as	if	she	were	disconnected	from	the
world. She	spoke	to	nobody	and	cursed	at	the	air. Watching	her,	he
automatically	thought	"I	hope	I	do	not	end	up	like	her." Immediately,	he
realised	that	he	had	spoken	out	loud. Analysing	his	own	reaction,	he
understood	that	he	had	acted	exactly	like	the	woman,	absorbed	in	himself,
without	attending	to	the	present. He	realised	that	if	that	woman	was	crazy,	so	must	be	everyone,	including
himself. This	realization	ignited	a	change	in	his	consciousness. He	began	to
work	to	separate	himself	from	his	thoughts,	to	analyse	them	objectively. By
doing	so,	he	slowly	began	to	succeed	in	stripping	himself	of	the	identity	of	his
ego.A	LINK	TO	EGO:	THE	“ME”
	
Many	people	become	trapped	in	suffering	because	of	their	obsessive
preoccupation	with	possession. We	fail	to	feel	what	we	are,	and	so	we	try	to
fulfill	our	existence	with	possessions. "My	toy,"	"my	car,"	"my	wife,"	even
"my	country"	and	"my	life." “Me”	begins	to	appear	in	all	of	our	references	to
our	own	lives. In	a	Vipassana	meditation	course	that	the	author	attended	for	10	days,	SN
Goenka,	the	Buddhist	teacher,	referred	in	a	fun	way	to	this	concept	of	"me." He	invited	his	students	to	imagine	these	situations:	"My	watch	was	stolen",
"My	car	broke",	"My	wife	deceived	me." In	these	situations,	the	identity	of
“me”	has	a	deeply	negative	impact. In	order	to	change,	we	must	be	aware	of	this	eagerness	of	possession. Only
then	will	we	be	able	to	free	ourselves	from	it. It	is	time	to	end	the	desire	for
control	over	all	things	that	is	characterized	by	“me”	and	“mine.”WE	ARE	NOT	OUR	ROLES
	
In	life,	each	of	us	plays	a	number	of	roles	in	order	to	fit	into	society. We	see
these	roles	as	an	important	link	to	the	rest	of	the	world. However,	when	we	become	totally	absorbed	in	a	role,	we	begin	to	identify
ourselves	by	its	behavior	patterns. That	which	society	expects	is	internalised
in	such	a	way	that	we	confuse	the	role	that	we	play	with	our	True	Selves. We	must	be	very	clear	with	ourselves	that	we	are	not	the	roles	that	we
assume. We	must	understand	that	we	are	is	far	greater	than	any	of	the	roles
that	we	play. When	detach	our	being	from	our	roles,	our	consciousness	will	begin	to
lighten. Then,	we	may	connect	with	our	essential	being,	with	who	we	truly
are.THE	EGO	AND	THE	BODY	OF
PAIN
	
Daily,	we	experience	harmful	sensations	such	as	annoyance. The	problem	is
that	instead	of	allowing	them	to	simply	pass	and	disappear,	we	hold	them	in
our	thoughts;	we	turn	them	over	and	over	in	our	minds	until	they	occupy	us
completely. The	consequence	of	this	is	that	we	allow	ourselves	to	become	angry,	thus
alienating	ourselves	from	our	True	Selves	and	allowing	the	suffering	to	stay
with	us. In	this	way,	the	pains	of	the	past	are	constantly	present	in	our	minds,
and	there	condition	our	concerns	for	the	future. To	illustrate	such	negative	over-thinking,	the	story	is	told	of	two	Zen	monks,
Tanzan	and	Ekido. The	two	monks	were	walking	along	a	muddy	road	on	time	when	they	saw	a
young	woman	trying	to	keep	her	silk	kimono	from	dragging	in	the	mud. To
help	her,	Tanzan	lifted	her	and	carried	her	across	the	muddy	road	to	dry	land. The	two	monks	continued	to	walk	in	silence,	until	five	hours	later,	when
Ekido	could	not	contain	himself	any	longer. He	expressed	his	anger	to
Tanzan,	saying	"We	are	not	supposed	to	do	such	things! ",	to	which	Tanzan
simply	replied,	"I	left	the	woman	behind	hours	ago. Are	you	still	carrying
her?”
	
Most	people	act	like	Ekido,	continually	carrying	pains,	anger,	wounds	and
negative	emotions	that	prevent	us	from	enjoying	life. By	doing	so,	the	body	of	pain	increases. This	means	that	any	negative
emotion	that	is	not	allowed	to	pass	only	strengthens	over	time,	and	leaves	a
lasting	impression. These	remnants	live	on,	making	up	the	body	of	pain. To	avoid	strengthening	the	body	of	the	pain	that	prevents	us	from	living	fully,
we	must	learn	from	the	example	that	nature	gives	us. Those	who	have
observed	a	duck	fight	will	have	seen	that	when	the	fight	ends,	the	ducks
immediately	separate	and	go	in	opposite	directions	as	if	nothing	had
happened,	as	if	to	let	go	of	any	negativity	that	appeared	during	the	fight. Many	humans	do	not	act	like	this. After	a	fight,	people	continue	to	think,
wallowing	in	their	anger,	allowing	it	to	take	over	their	minds,	where	it	only
continues	to	generate	negative	thoughts	and	ideas. To	alleviate	the	body	of	pain,	it	is	necessary	to	let	go	the	effects	of	negative
events	and	to	eliminate	all	traces	of	them	in	ourselves. We	need	to	bring
ourselves	into	the	present,	where	we	may	find	peace. The	suffering	and	pain	that	we	are	exposed	to	in	life	are	"evolutionary
supports;"	impulses	for	the	progress	of	our	consciences. The	experiences	that
we	have	in	each	moment	are	the	ones	that	we	need	at	precisely	that	moment. A	serious	mistake	to	which	the	ego	leads	us	is	the	belief	that	if	not	for	a
certain	occurrence,	we	would	not	have	to	suffer. This	is	not	true. The
suffering	that	we	experience	is	what	drives	the	change	of	consciousness	that
is	essential	to	our	liberation. We	must	accept	suffering	as	a	process	that	favours	our	enlightenment.ACCEPTING	THE	PRESENT
	
People	spend	their	lives	locked	up	in	thoughts	that	bind	them. In	order	to
achieve	happiness,	it	is	necessary	to	learn	to	accept	the	present	as	it	is. Either
we	accept	life	as	it	is,	or	we	suffer. The	true	cause	of	unhappiness	is	not	the
situation	that	we	are	in,	but	our	attitude	toward	it. We	must	become	observers
of	our	own	thoughts,	constantly	aware	of	them. Situation	and	thought	are	two
different	entities. The	situation	simply	is;	it	is	objective	and	neutral. Our
thoughts	are	the	only	thing	with	the	power	to	make	us	suffer. THE	SHADOW	LIVING	IN	YOU
	
We	react	when	we	see	other	people	behaving	in	a	way	that	bothers	us. Surely
those	behaviours	and	patterns	are	also	within	ourselves,	but	we	simply	do	not
identify	them. What	bothers	us	of	others	is	just	a	mirror	of	what	exists	in	us. This	is	a	very
powerful	concept. Carl	Jung	designated	it	as	the	Shadow:	"Unfortunately,	there	can	be	no	doubt
that	man	is,	in	general,	less	good	than	he	imagines	or	wants	to	be. Each
carries	a	Shadow,	and	the	less	it	incarnates	in	the	conscious	life	of	the
individual,	blacker	and	If	he	is	repressed	and	isolated	from	conscience,	he	is
never	corrected,	and	if	he	is	repressed	and	isolated	from	conscience,	he	is
never	corrected	and	Is	prone	to	explode	suddenly	in	a	moment	of
unconsciousness,	but	in	any	case,	it	forms	an	unconscious	obstacle,	frustrating
our	more	intentional	intentions.	
" How	can	we	identify	our	very	own	Shadows? By	observing	other	people	and
analysing	what	bothers	us	about	them	more	from	other	people,	we	can
recognise	ourselves	in	them. HARMONIZING	EXTERNAL
AND	INTERNAL	OBJECTIVES
	
Generally,	we	all	have	an	outer	goal	that	is	linked	to	material	possessions,
such	as	making	more	money. We	assume	that	if	we	succeed	and	live	more
comfortably,	we	will	be	happy	forever. On	the	path	of	change,	we	also	experience	the	inner	need	to	separate	thought
from	consciousness. We	intend	to	separate	thought	from	consciousness	to
attain	the	state	of	enlightenment,	a	state	in	which	we	are	aware	but	do	not
think. This	purpose	is	fundamental	to	life. Enlightenment	means	overcoming	the	ego
and	being	able	to	remove	our	consciousness	from	our	thoughts,	and	by	doing
so,	finding	our	True	Selves. Any	external	goal,	such	as	being	famous	or	having	possessions	and	money,
will	bind	you	to	external	factors. Such	goals	are	motivated	and	effected	by	the
outside,	and	so,	will	surely	cause	you	eventual	unhappiness. Let's	look	at	an	example. Suppose	you	define	the	purpose	of	your	life	as
raising	your	children. This	purpose	involves	depending	on	whether	your
children	permanently	need	you	or	not. As	your	children	grow,	they	will
emancipate	themselves	and	stop	needing	you. Your	life	will	lose	its	purpose
because	it	was	linked	to	factors	external	to	you,	as	your	children	are. The	same	thing	happens	if	your	goal	is	to	be	the	best	in	your	profession. The
concept	of	better	implies	that	there	are	worse. Again,	this	depends	on	factorsoutside	of	you. In	fact,	it	is	not	the	intentions	themselves	that	can	be	dominated	by	the	ego,
but	rather	the	state	of	consciousness	from	which	they	come. For	example,	a
person	who	is	dedicated	to	helping	homeless	people	may	be	driven	by	the
outward	purpose	of	being	praised	or	of	feeling	superior	to	others. Outwardly,
their	task	will	appear	to	supportive	and	disinterested	in	selfishness,	but	in
essence,	it	is	the	ego	that	drives	it. ACCEPT	AND	ENJOY:	TWO	KEY
ACTIONS	FOR	LIGHTENING
LIFE
	
Enjoying	life	implies	feeling	one	with	it,	marching	in	unison	with	the	universe
and	all	the	beings	that	inhabit	it. It	is	accepting	reality	without	resistance. Imagine	that	you	are	relieved	from	the	pressures	and	constraints	of	everyday
life,	and	that	you	achieve	peace	and	experience	enlightenment. The	only	way	this	can	happen	is	you	accept	life	as	it	is	and	enjoy	it. On	the	path	of	overcoming	the	dominance	of	ego,	of	freeing	yourself	from
your	shadow,	of	dissipating	the	body	of	pain,	and	of	separating	thoughts	of
consciousness,	you	will	begin	to	enjoy	every	moment	of	every	day. You	will
live	the	present,	willing	to	do	what	is	necessary	at	the	moment	when	you	live
peacefully,	without	pressure	or	stress,	even	if	the	task	at	hand	is	thankless. You	will	simply	do	things	because	they	are	part	of	your	present,	which	you
accept. Your	mental	state	will	be	liberated,	at	peace	with	life	and	the	people
around	you. You	will	enjoy	the	activities	that	you	do;	you	will	be	reaching	a	state	of
enlightenment	that	will	bring	you	satisfaction	and	happiness. Your	motivation
to	act	will	be	generated	by	enjoyment	and	not	by	desire. Never	lose	humility,	do	not	let	the	ego	get	out	of	hand	and	impel	you	to	boast
about	success. Keep	it	contained. Remember	that	enjoyment	comes	naturally	when	you	focus	on	the	present
moment. This	allows	the	joy	of	consciousness	to	circulate	throughout	the
body. Keep	in	mind	that	your	behaviour	changes	the	lives	of	others,	especially
through	the	enjoyment	and	enthusiasm	that	you	bring. The	word	"enthusiasm"
comes	from	the	Greek	word	
enthousiazein
,	meaning	‘to	be	possessed	by	a
god’. You	do	not	have	to	do	it	all	alone. Enduring	enthusiasm	fills	the
existence	of	positive	energy. It's	like	"a	wave	of	creative	energy,	and	all	you
have	to	do	is	ride	the	wave." One	with	life. In	these	three	words	is	synthesised	the	secret	of	a	successful
and	happy	life. ABOUT	SAPIENS	EDITORIAL
	
Books	are	mentors. Books	can	guide	what	we	do	and	our	lives. Many	of	us
love	books	while	reading	them	and	maybe	they	will	echo	with	us	a	few	weeks
after	but	2	years	later	we	can’t	remember	if	we	have	read	it	or	not. And	that’s
a	shame. We	remember	that	at	that	time,	the	book	meant	a	lot	to	us. Why	is	it
that	2	years	later	we	have	forgotten	everything? That’s	not	good. This	summary	is	taken	from	the	most	important	themes	of	the	original	book. Most	people	don’t	like	books. People	just	want	to	know	what	the	book	says
they	have	to	do. If	you	trust	the	source	you	don’t	need	the	arguments. So
much	of	a	book	is	arguing	its	points,	but	often	you	don’t	need	the	argument	if
you	trust	the	source	you	can	just	get	the	point. This	summary	takes	the	effort	to	distill	the	blahs	into	themes	for	the	people
who	are	just	not	going	to	read	the	whole	book. All	this	information	is	in	the
original	book. SAPIENS	EDITORIAL

	ORIGINAL	BOOK	DESCRIPTION
	
With	his	bestselling	spiritual	guide	
The	Power	of	Now
,	Eckhart	Tolle	inspired
millions	of	readers	to	discover	the	freedom	and	joy	of	a	life	lived	“in	the
now. ”	In	
A	New	Earth
,	Tolle	expands	on	these	powerful	ideas	to	show	how
transcending	our	ego-based	state	of	consciousness	is	not	only	essential	to
personal	happiness,	but	also	the	key	to	ending	conflict	and	suffering
throughout	the	world. Tolle	describes	how	our	attachment	to	the	ego	creates
the	dysfunction	that	leads	to	anger,	jealousy,	and	unhappiness,	and	shows
readers	how	to	awaken	to	a	new	state	of	consciousness	and	follow	the	path	to
a	truly	fulfilling	existence. Illuminating,	enlightening,	and	uplifting,	
A	New	Earth
	is	a	profoundly
spiritual	manifesto	for	a	better	way	of	life—and	for	building	a	better	world. AGONY	OR
TRANSFORMATION. CONQUER
YOUR	EGO	AND	CHANGE	THE
WORLD
	
On	a	daily	basis,	news	on	the	radio,	newspapers,	and	television	show	us	the
evils	that	afflict	our	world. War,	violence,	and	human	catastrophes	that	affect
us	to	a	greater	or	lesser	degree. Although	we	see	that	in	some	aspects	society
improves,	there	are	always	facts	that	show	us	how	society	in	general	is
dominated	by	endless	violence	from	a	breed	that	is	never	satisfied	and	only
causes	destruction. Because	of	this,	as	Eckhart	Tolle	says	in	his	work,	"a	significant	portion	of	the
Earth's	population	will	soon	recognise	if	it	has	not	already	done	so,	that
humanity	now	faces	a	harsh	choice:	evolve	or	die. " What	is	the	origin,	the	reason	for	all	of	this	decadence	in	the	world. That
cause	is	in	our	minds. In	our	own	minds	is	where	the	reasons	for	conflict,
misery,	unhappiness	lie. Caught	up	in	the	past	or	in	the	future,	never	leaving
alone	what	was	or	what	will	be,	our	egos	dominate	us	and	keep	us	from	the
true	happiness	and	fullness	that	holds	each	moment	of	the	present. If	we	can	succeed	in	overcoming	our	collective	ego	and	stripping	ourselves	of
its	yolk,	then	we	may	contribute	to	building	a	better	world. OUR	INNER	AND	OUTER
MADNESS
	
Society	at	large,	as	well	as	the	people	of	whom	it	is	made	up,	are	showing	a
dementia,	a	kind	of	"chronic	paranoid	delusions,	a	pathological	propensity	to
commit	murders	and	acts	of	extreme	violence	and	cruelty. ",	says	the	author. Fear,	greed,	and	ambition	for	power	are	the	engines	that	move	these	insane
behaviours,	driving	our	heartbreak	and	eventual	annihilation. The	great	historical	currents	of	spirituality	have	recognised	this	dysfunction	in
the	mind	of	man. According	to	Hinduism,	it	is	a	network	of	collective	beliefs:
a	“Maya,”	made	up	of	illusions	and	mirages,	a	"veil	of	ignorance",	which	is
instilled	in	all	of	us. One	of	the	most	famous	spiritual	leaders	of	India,
Ramana	Maharshi,	expressed	that	"the	mind	is	Mayan",	referring	to	the
collective	mental	illness	of	man. Buddhism	treats	this	idea	in	a	different	way,	recognising	the	“dukkha,”	which
represents	the	suffering	and	misery	which	Buddha	saw	as	essential
components	of	the	human	condition. Christianity,	in	turn,	speaks	of	sin,	a	word	that	in	its	Greek	origins	as
translated	from	the	New	Testament	designates	the	loss	of	the	road,	the	goal,
and	the	end. To	sin	is	"to	miss	the	mark”;	to	lose	the	core	of	human	existence. In	contrast,	each	of	these	spiritual	traditions	carries	a	trait	that	points	to	the
positivity	of	this	dysfunction. Enlightenment	enables	Hindus	to	shed	these
sensory	mirages	of	the	Maya;	followers	of	Buddha	come	to	the	points	of
awakening	and	react	to	the	suffering	of	the	dukkha;	Christians	speak	of
salvation,	of	encountering	the	path,	the	spirit,	and	the	peace. According	to	the	author,	we	carry	a	heavy	backpack	composed	of	extensive
cultural	baggage	that	we	inherit,	from	which	it	takes	much	to	free	ourselves. Humanity	has	made	important	advances	in	science,	technology,	and	art,	but
has	not	been	able	to	save	itself	from	this	destructive	force	of	the	insanity,	the
madness	of	our	sins	and	suffering. To	see	proof	of	this,	we	may	look	to	the	settlers	of	our	planet	have:	we	have
witnessed	the	overwhelming	development	of	implements	dedicated	to
destruction,	from	bombs	and	machine	guns	to	poisonous	gas	and	biological
weapons. Mass	killings	in	Soviet	Russia	and	the	massacre	of	a	quarter	of
Cambodia's	population	at	the	hands	of	Khmer	Rouge's	ruthless	regime	are
clear	signs	of	this	sad	reality. There	has	come	a	time	when	man	not	only	attacks	man,	but	turns	against	the
very	nature	of	the	Earth. We	destroy	forests	and	jungles,	pollute	the
atmosphere	and	water	sources,	and	slaughter	animals. All	of	these	contribute
to	a	devastating	view	of	our	planet	in	which	violence,	greed,	and	hatred
continue	to	dominate,	to	condemning	us	to	disappear. The	beginning	of	change	is	to	recognise	our	folly. "Recognising	one's	own
madness	is,	of	course,	the	emergence	of	sanity,	the	beginning	of	healing	and
transcendence. " These	words,	spoken	by	Tolle,	show	us	the	beginning	of	the
road. Let	us	acknowledge	in	each	of	us	the	fears,	lusts,	and	desires	for	power
that	drive	us. In	doing	so,	we	will	surely	discover	the	cause	of	our	confrontations	and
misunderstandings	within	our	families,	in	our	work,	and	with	our	friends. Meditate	on	this	idea. Observe	and	recognise	in	yourself	the	inherited
madness	that	keeps	you	from	being	happy. This	is	the	first	step	toward
building	a	new	world. CHANGE	IN	CONSCIOUSNESS,
CHANGE	IN	BEHAVIOUR
	
People’s	actions	are	motivated	by	their	consciences,	not	their	beliefs. Your
state	of	consciousness	determines	your	behaviour	and	interactions	with	the
world	and	with	other	human	beings. It	is	not	enough	to	simply	have	noble	beliefs,	to	believe	in	the	good. It	is
imperative	that	we	integrate	these	beliefs	into	our	very	being. We	must
internalise	these	convictions	so	that	our	consciousness	may	change	to	embody
the	values	in	which	we	believe. Once	our	consciousness	has	transformed,	our	actions	and	behaviours	will	be
able	to	change,	following	the	pattern	set	by	our	psyche. The	author	presents	the	concepts	of	Heaven	and	Earth	not	as	physical	places,
but	rather	as	two	levels	of	existence:	a	new	Heaven	designates	the	emergence
of	a	new	human	consciousness	that	has	integrated	its	noble	beliefs;	Earth,	for
its	part,	the	manifestation	of	a	consciousness	on	the	physical	plane,	the
actions	of	people. How	does	one	achieve	this	necessary	change	of	consciousness. The	first	step
is	to	know	our	current	state,	to	know	our	situation,	and	starting	from	that
knowledge,	to	begin	to	change. IN	SEARCH	OF	THE	SOLUTION
	
History	shows	us	the	attempts	of	individuals	or	groups	who	have	tried	to
come	to	the	aid	of	society. Social	movements	have	emerged	to	try	to	avoid	a
universal	collapse. An	example	of	this	is	Communism,	which	has	largely
failed	in	the	world;	partly	because	of	the	very	leaders	who	created	it,	as	they
did	not,	in	essence,	embody	its	principles. They	did	not	change	themselves,
which	crippled	their	ability	to	change	others. Religious	leaders	tried	to	become	vehicles	of	this	new	spirit	for	the	benefit	of
the	world,	from	Buddha	to	Lao	Tzu. Their	influence,	however,	have	been
limited. Many	were	misunderstood	by	their	followers,	their	messages	blurred	and
distorted	so	that	the	strength	of	their	leadership	was	not	enough	to	drive	the
necessary	change. Ideas	were	often	added,	diluting	the	original	message. Some	teachers	were	killed	for	their	preaching,	others	revered	as	gods. The
message	of	Jesus'	goodness,	humility,	and	union,	as	well	as	his	preaching	of
mercy	and	love,	were	transformed	into	a	religion	of	hatred	and	division,
feeding	the	madness	he	had	set	out	to	heal. The	Crusades	and	the	Spanish
Inquisition,	carried	out	under	the	mantle	of	Christianity,	brought	nothing	but
widespread	devastation. Likewise,	scientific	and	technological	progress	that	carries	the	potential	for
great	benefit	to	mankind	has	been	turned	to	enhance	the	human	capacity	to
destroy	and	to	kill	one	another	and	the	planet. Violence,	slavery,	and	torture	have	always	been	part	of	human	history,	but	the
twentieth	century	has	taken	these	calamities	to	unsustainable	new	levels	level. Evolve	or	die;	this	is	the	Human	Dilemma. EGO:	THE	ROOT	OF	OUR
PROBLEM
	
To	overcome	the	inner	impulses	that	lead	to	destruction,	we	must	understand
that	the	ego	dominates	us,	that	it	is	what	strengthens	the	negative	forces	that
we	carry	within	ourselves. Identification	is	the	structure	by	which	the	ego	exists:	identification	with
forms	of	thought,	both	in	physical	and	emotional	forms. The	extent	of	our
identification	with	these	forms	is	the	extent	to	which	we	allow	them	to
become	our	identity. The	consequence	of	this	identification	is	the	ignorance	that	we	have	toward
the	connection	between	the	"being"	and	the	"everything"	within	the	Source. This	separation	is	what	causes	our	problems. It	dilutes	our	awareness	of	the
interconnectedness	between	every	person	and	the	rest	of	the	world. We	are
settled	in	our	Maya,	our	dukkha,	our	sins. From	there,	we	lose	our	way. We
begin	to	act	on	our	madness,	to	promote	the	evil. We	live	floating	in	our	identification	with	our	mind,	and	thus
misunderstandings	appear	throughout	the	world. It	is	in	this	way	that	the	ego
deceives	us	and	makes	us	believe	that	our	being	and	our	identity	is	composed
of	achievements,	material	possessions,	and	history. We	manufacture	a	perception	in	our	minds	that	gives	us	an	image	of	who	we
are,	an	image	that	is	based	on	deception	and	fallacy. It	is	necessary	to	our	development	that	we	break	free	of	the	identification	thatthe	ego	has	lead	us	to. We	must	free	it,	therefore	freeing	ourselves,	in	order	to
begin	to	change. Releasing	the	ego	is	not	easy,	but	it	is	essential	to	leaving
behind	discontent,	insecurity,	anxiety,	and	everything	that	makes	us	unhappy. Releasing	ourselves	from	the	ego	does	not	mean	simply	giving	up	our	love	for
material	goods,	our	constant	search	for	forms;	it	is	more	than	just	that. To
renounce	the	ego	required	that	we	convince	ourselves	that	we	are	not	what	we
think	or	what	we	feel. It	is	only	our	True	Selves	that	can	achieve	this,	because
only	our	True	Selves	can	observe	the	flow	of	consciousness	by	transcending	it
and	acting	as	an	external	observer. Tolle	illustrates	this	with	an	example. As	a	student,	one	day	he	was	travelling
on	the	subway. He	saw	a	woman	acting	as	if	she	were	disconnected	from	the
world. She	spoke	to	nobody	and	cursed	at	the	air. Watching	her,	he
automatically	thought	"I	hope	I	do	not	end	up	like	her. " Immediately,	he
realised	that	he	had	spoken	out	loud. Analysing	his	own	reaction,	he
understood	that	he	had	acted	exactly	like	the	woman,	absorbed	in	himself,
without	attending	to	the	present. He	realised	that	if	that	woman	was	crazy,	so	must	be	everyone,	including
himself. This	realization	ignited	a	change	in	his	consciousness. He	began	to
work	to	separate	himself	from	his	thoughts,	to	analyse	them	objectively. By
doing	so,	he	slowly	began	to	succeed	in	stripping	himself	of	the	identity	of	his
ego. A	LINK	TO	EGO:	THE	“ME”
	
Many	people	become	trapped	in	suffering	because	of	their	obsessive
preoccupation	with	possession. We	fail	to	feel	what	we	are,	and	so	we	try	to
fulfill	our	existence	with	possessions. "My	toy,"	"my	car,"	"my	wife,"	even
"my	country"	and	"my	life. " “Me”	begins	to	appear	in	all	of	our	references	to
our	own	lives. In	a	Vipassana	meditation	course	that	the	author	attended	for	10	days,	SN
Goenka,	the	Buddhist	teacher,	referred	in	a	fun	way	to	this	concept	of	"me. " He	invited	his	students	to	imagine	these	situations:	"My	watch	was	stolen",
"My	car	broke",	"My	wife	deceived	me. " In	these	situations,	the	identity	of
“me”	has	a	deeply	negative	impact. In	order	to	change,	we	must	be	aware	of	this	eagerness	of	possession. Only
then	will	we	be	able	to	free	ourselves	from	it. It	is	time	to	end	the	desire	for
control	over	all	things	that	is	characterized	by	“me”	and	“mine. ”WE	ARE	NOT	OUR	ROLES
	
In	life,	each	of	us	plays	a	number	of	roles	in	order	to	fit	into	society. We	see
these	roles	as	an	important	link	to	the	rest	of	the	world. However,	when	we	become	totally	absorbed	in	a	role,	we	begin	to	identify
ourselves	by	its	behavior	patterns. That	which	society	expects	is	internalised
in	such	a	way	that	we	confuse	the	role	that	we	play	with	our	True	Selves. We	must	be	very	clear	with	ourselves	that	we	are	not	the	roles	that	we
assume. We	must	understand	that	we	are	is	far	greater	than	any	of	the	roles
that	we	play. When	detach	our	being	from	our	roles,	our	consciousness	will	begin	to
lighten. Then,	we	may	connect	with	our	essential	being,	with	who	we	truly
are. THE	EGO	AND	THE	BODY	OF
PAIN
	
Daily,	we	experience	harmful	sensations	such	as	annoyance. The	problem	is
that	instead	of	allowing	them	to	simply	pass	and	disappear,	we	hold	them	in
our	thoughts;	we	turn	them	over	and	over	in	our	minds	until	they	occupy	us
completely. The	consequence	of	this	is	that	we	allow	ourselves	to	become	angry,	thus
alienating	ourselves	from	our	True	Selves	and	allowing	the	suffering	to	stay
with	us. In	this	way,	the	pains	of	the	past	are	constantly	present	in	our	minds,
and	there	condition	our	concerns	for	the	future. To	illustrate	such	negative	over-thinking,	the	story	is	told	of	two	Zen	monks,
Tanzan	and	Ekido. The	two	monks	were	walking	along	a	muddy	road	on	time	when	they	saw	a
young	woman	trying	to	keep	her	silk	kimono	from	dragging	in	the	mud. To
help	her,	Tanzan	lifted	her	and	carried	her	across	the	muddy	road	to	dry	land. The	two	monks	continued	to	walk	in	silence,	until	five	hours	later,	when
Ekido	could	not	contain	himself	any	longer. He	expressed	his	anger	to
Tanzan,	saying	"We	are	not	supposed	to	do	such	things. ",	to	which	Tanzan
simply	replied,	"I	left	the	woman	behind	hours	ago. Are	you	still	carrying
her. ”
	
Most	people	act	like	Ekido,	continually	carrying	pains,	anger,	wounds	and
negative	emotions	that	prevent	us	from	enjoying	life. By	doing	so,	the	body	of	pain	increases. This	means	that	any	negative
emotion	that	is	not	allowed	to	pass	only	strengthens	over	time,	and	leaves	a
lasting	impression. These	remnants	live	on,	making	up	the	body	of	pain. To	avoid	strengthening	the	body	of	the	pain	that	prevents	us	from	living	fully,
we	must	learn	from	the	example	that	nature	gives	us. Those	who	have
observed	a	duck	fight	will	have	seen	that	when	the	fight	ends,	the	ducks
immediately	separate	and	go	in	opposite	directions	as	if	nothing	had
happened,	as	if	to	let	go	of	any	negativity	that	appeared	during	the	fight. Many	humans	do	not	act	like	this. After	a	fight,	people	continue	to	think,
wallowing	in	their	anger,	allowing	it	to	take	over	their	minds,	where	it	only
continues	to	generate	negative	thoughts	and	ideas. To	alleviate	the	body	of	pain,	it	is	necessary	to	let	go	the	effects	of	negative
events	and	to	eliminate	all	traces	of	them	in	ourselves. We	need	to	bring
ourselves	into	the	present,	where	we	may	find	peace. The	suffering	and	pain	that	we	are	exposed	to	in	life	are	"evolutionary
supports;"	impulses	for	the	progress	of	our	consciences. The	experiences	that
we	have	in	each	moment	are	the	ones	that	we	need	at	precisely	that	moment. A	serious	mistake	to	which	the	ego	leads	us	is	the	belief	that	if	not	for	a
certain	occurrence,	we	would	not	have	to	suffer. This	is	not	true. The
suffering	that	we	experience	is	what	drives	the	change	of	consciousness	that
is	essential	to	our	liberation. We	must	accept	suffering	as	a	process	that	favours	our	enlightenment. ACCEPTING	THE	PRESENT
	
People	spend	their	lives	locked	up	in	thoughts	that	bind	them. In	order	to
achieve	happiness,	it	is	necessary	to	learn	to	accept	the	present	as	it	is. Either
we	accept	life	as	it	is,	or	we	suffer. The	true	cause	of	unhappiness	is	not	the
situation	that	we	are	in,	but	our	attitude	toward	it. We	must	become	observers
of	our	own	thoughts,	constantly	aware	of	them. Situation	and	thought	are	two
different	entities. The	situation	simply	is;	it	is	objective	and	neutral. Our
thoughts	are	the	only	thing	with	the	power	to	make	us	suffer. THE	SHADOW	LIVING	IN	YOU
	
We	react	when	we	see	other	people	behaving	in	a	way	that	bothers	us. Surely
those	behaviours	and	patterns	are	also	within	ourselves,	but	we	simply	do	not
identify	them. What	bothers	us	of	others	is	just	a	mirror	of	what	exists	in	us. This	is	a	very
powerful	concept. Carl	Jung	designated	it	as	the	Shadow:	"Unfortunately,	there	can	be	no	doubt
that	man	is,	in	general,	less	good	than	he	imagines	or	wants	to	be. Each
carries	a	Shadow,	and	the	less	it	incarnates	in	the	conscious	life	of	the
individual,	blacker	and	If	he	is	repressed	and	isolated	from	conscience,	he	is
never	corrected,	and	if	he	is	repressed	and	isolated	from	conscience,	he	is
never	corrected	and	Is	prone	to	explode	suddenly	in	a	moment	of
unconsciousness,	but	in	any	case,	it	forms	an	unconscious	obstacle,	frustrating
our	more	intentional	intentions. " How	can	we	identify	our	very	own	Shadows. By	observing	other	people	and
analysing	what	bothers	us	about	them	more	from	other	people,	we	can
recognise	ourselves	in	them. HARMONIZING	EXTERNAL
AND	INTERNAL	OBJECTIVES
	
Generally,	we	all	have	an	outer	goal	that	is	linked	to	material	possessions,
such	as	making	more	money. We	assume	that	if	we	succeed	and	live	more
comfortably,	we	will	be	happy	forever. On	the	path	of	change,	we	also	experience	the	inner	need	to	separate	thought
from	consciousness. We	intend	to	separate	thought	from	consciousness	to
attain	the	state	of	enlightenment,	a	state	in	which	we	are	aware	but	do	not
think. This	purpose	is	fundamental	to	life. Enlightenment	means	overcoming	the	ego
and	being	able	to	remove	our	consciousness	from	our	thoughts,	and	by	doing
so,	finding	our	True	Selves. Any	external	goal,	such	as	being	famous	or	having	possessions	and	money,
will	bind	you	to	external	factors. Such	goals	are	motivated	and	effected	by	the
outside,	and	so,	will	surely	cause	you	eventual	unhappiness. Let's	look	at	an	example. Suppose	you	define	the	purpose	of	your	life	as
raising	your	children. This	purpose	involves	depending	on	whether	your
children	permanently	need	you	or	not. As	your	children	grow,	they	will
emancipate	themselves	and	stop	needing	you. Your	life	will	lose	its	purpose
because	it	was	linked	to	factors	external	to	you,	as	your	children	are. The	same	thing	happens	if	your	goal	is	to	be	the	best	in	your	profession. The
concept	of	better	implies	that	there	are	worse. Again,	this	depends	on	factorsoutside	of	you. In	fact,	it	is	not	the	intentions	themselves	that	can	be	dominated	by	the	ego,
but	rather	the	state	of	consciousness	from	which	they	come. For	example,	a
person	who	is	dedicated	to	helping	homeless	people	may	be	driven	by	the
outward	purpose	of	being	praised	or	of	feeling	superior	to	others. Outwardly,
their	task	will	appear	to	supportive	and	disinterested	in	selfishness,	but	in
essence,	it	is	the	ego	that	drives	it. ACCEPT	AND	ENJOY:	TWO	KEY
ACTIONS	FOR	LIGHTENING
LIFE
	
Enjoying	life	implies	feeling	one	with	it,	marching	in	unison	with	the	universe
and	all	the	beings	that	inhabit	it. It	is	accepting	reality	without	resistance. Imagine	that	you	are	relieved	from	the	pressures	and	constraints	of	everyday
life,	and	that	you	achieve	peace	and	experience	enlightenment. The	only	way	this	can	happen	is	you	accept	life	as	it	is	and	enjoy	it. On	the	path	of	overcoming	the	dominance	of	ego,	of	freeing	yourself	from
your	shadow,	of	dissipating	the	body	of	pain,	and	of	separating	thoughts	of
consciousness,	you	will	begin	to	enjoy	every	moment	of	every	day. You	will
live	the	present,	willing	to	do	what	is	necessary	at	the	moment	when	you	live
peacefully,	without	pressure	or	stress,	even	if	the	task	at	hand	is	thankless. You	will	simply	do	things	because	they	are	part	of	your	present,	which	you
accept. Your	mental	state	will	be	liberated,	at	peace	with	life	and	the	people
around	you. You	will	enjoy	the	activities	that	you	do;	you	will	be	reaching	a	state	of
enlightenment	that	will	bring	you	satisfaction	and	happiness. Your	motivation
to	act	will	be	generated	by	enjoyment	and	not	by	desire. Never	lose	humility,	do	not	let	the	ego	get	out	of	hand	and	impel	you	to	boast
about	success. Keep	it	contained. Remember	that	enjoyment	comes	naturally	when	you	focus	on	the	present
moment. This	allows	the	joy	of	consciousness	to	circulate	throughout	the
body. Keep	in	mind	that	your	behaviour	changes	the	lives	of	others,	especially
through	the	enjoyment	and	enthusiasm	that	you	bring. The	word	"enthusiasm"
comes	from	the	Greek	word	
enthousiazein
,	meaning	‘to	be	possessed	by	a
god’. You	do	not	have	to	do	it	all	alone. Enduring	enthusiasm	fills	the
existence	of	positive	energy. It's	like	"a	wave	of	creative	energy,	and	all	you
have	to	do	is	ride	the	wave. " One	with	life. In	these	three	words	is	synthesised	the	secret	of	a	successful
and	happy	life. ABOUT	SAPIENS	EDITORIAL
	
Books	are	mentors. Books	can	guide	what	we	do	and	our	lives. Many	of	us
love	books	while	reading	them	and	maybe	they	will	echo	with	us	a	few	weeks
after	but	2	years	later	we	can’t	remember	if	we	have	read	it	or	not. And	that’s
a	shame. We	remember	that	at	that	time,	the	book	meant	a	lot	to	us. Why	is	it
that	2	years	later	we	have	forgotten	everything. That’s	not	good. This	summary	is	taken	from	the	most	important	themes	of	the	original	book. Most	people	don’t	like	books. People	just	want	to	know	what	the	book	says
they	have	to	do. If	you	trust	the	source	you	don’t	need	the	arguments. So
much	of	a	book	is	arguing	its	points,	but	often	you	don’t	need	the	argument	if
you	trust	the	source	you	can	just	get	the	point. This	summary	takes	the	effort	to	distill	the	blahs	into	themes	for	the	people
who	are	just	not	going	to	read	the	whole	book. All	this	information	is	in	the
original	book. SAPIENS	EDITORIAL
