Tolle/Manson

Well it's been a week or more since my last post. I have been listening to Eckhart Tolles Power of Now in disc recently. Admittedly the information is fascinating to me but I can only seem to take it in small doses or I start to drift off. A friend of mine listens to it as he takes his dog for a walk. I need to do something like that. It was certainly not the same trying to listen to it walking through the busy city streets. So now to the title of this post. Don't get me wrong...I am in no way comparing Tolle with Charles Manson. What got me here was that last night I watched a dvd called " The Manson Family" and is the often very graphic depiction of the Manson family and the brutal murders they are famous for committing but told through the family members. Quite frequently they would say things like " you have to give up the ego man in order to be in the now" Sound familiar!
I certainly won't be getting my spiritual advice from Charles Manson, but I bet I would drift off as much.
