However, especially in the most recent book, it’s easy to interpret it as a war against the ego. There’s a perfection in the ego too, and seeing that perfection helps bring us to the present moment. In a war there’s no present moment, only attention on the conflict. I wouldn't say his take on Krishnamurti is wrong, but he does sometimes over simplify to have mass appeal. <a href="http://www.polarisrising.com/Blog/" rel="nofollow">Polaris Rising</a> I like Eckhart Tolle.

I was trying to read one of his books. Evidently, he is a compiler and his interpretation of J.Krishnamurti is entirely wrong. Be careful with people who are trying to sell you something.
