Query: Half-way up the mountain?

Does Eckhart Tolle really think he is enlightened, and can lead people to that place? Very, very doubtful. Good for him, he received some grace when he was in a depressed state, and had a mystical experience - but it's quite a leap to believe this is enlightenment. His words certainly don't have that ring to it - they are often confused, vague, overly verbose, and smacking of the kind of arrogance which typifies much of modern-day 'spirituality' coming out of the West (e.g., Wilber and Cohen). I wouldn't be surprised if things changed for Mr Tolle once the stage he is currently in has passed, if he's lucky. Still, I do think this book contains some good advice, and would probably be an excellent gateway into spiritual realms for 'beginners'. Just take it with a pinch of salt...
