Wow, I wonder if Ekhardt Tolle knew he was borrowing ideas from the Gospels? Actually he did, because they're among the spiritual classics he quotes in his books.

Many quotes can be related back to the Bible. Sometimes I will personally write something and then realize there’s a similar Bible verse. So, I’ll make a post about the Bible verse next.
The Bible is filled with basic rules of life. Simple ways to live cohesively especially in the New Testament.
I was raised Anglican, so I see the Gospels (and maybe Acts) as the crucial texts. Everything else is footnotes, included to provide context for those : )
❤️ I totally understand your point. The Gospels were basically the same story. Told 4 times in the same book. They really wanted to make a point with repeated messaging. 😅
Bible verses in Matthew and Revelation are my go-to’s at times.
Yup. Jesus said he was giving us a new commandment, to love everyone, as an earthly channel of the divine love, and so many people forget to read the rest of the Bible in that context (especially the Old Testament stuff).
Revelation, like The Matrix, is fascinating when see through a gnostic lense. It's sad so many people take it literally, turning it into a horror story I don't believe it was ever meant to be.
