Number 9 is number 10. I should've stuck to the ten steps. I agree about Eckhart and timing. When "grace descends" who knows how it will happen? It might even be Mr. Peanut. Jerry Hi Eliezer,

In my abridged version, I combined the second and third steps into step two, I believe. Number 9 is number 10. I should’ve stuck to the ten steps.

I agree about Eckhart and timing. When “grace descends” who knows how it will happen? It might even be Mr. Peanut.

What's that last step?? My recollection is that it was akin to "back to the marketplace," but that sounds like your #9. I think it's all a matter of timing. Someone who has NOT been immersed in these matters for years, like your friend perhaps, may very well experience a shift from simply reading Tolle's book--who knows who get it when and from where? I personally found it too tiresome to watch Oprah's weekly talks with Eckhart, but I know that for many folks it was manna from heaven.
