I loved the book "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, and have found myself referring back to it often. Then I received this deck of inspirational cards and I was beyond pleased! This 52 card deck is perfect for contemplation and reflection. The top of the box flips up, so you can prop a favorite card up to think on (I put a new card up each day).

This is a beautiful deck. It's simple and elegant, yet do be careful when handling the cards to have perfectly clean and dry hands! They get smudge marks on them very very easily.

The cards themselves appear to be divided into four groups; they have a deep blue background with white text and either an orange, green or light blue border. Or a dark blue border with black background and white text. At the top of each card, above the text, is a tiny picture of the earth.

The back side of the cards is the beautiful orange of the book, with a strip of blue space and stars with the earth centered in it.

The insert that comes with the deck does not explain why the deck seems to be divided into four sections - but I'm assuming that they pertain to the different levels of understanding, starting with the orange, the green, the light blue and then the dark blue.

And of course, each card contains a snippet of wisdom from the book. Some are single sentences, others are longer - all are helpful!

"Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel." From the cards.

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is." From the cards.

"Very unconscious people experience their own ego through its reflection in others. When you realize that what you react to in others is also in you (and sometimes only in you), you begin to become aware of your own ego." From the cards.

If you are like me, and highlighted all your favorite passages in the book, you will love referring to these inspirational cards when looking for a bit of enlightenment. Even if you've never read the book, the cards are filled with simple wisdom, that while very thought-provoking is not overwhelming.

I would highly recommend this deck to anyone who is a fan of Eckhart Tolle, or anyone who is traveling a path to spiritual wholeness. Embrace the moment and move into your Being.

"The only thing that ultimately matters is this: Can I sense my essential Beingness, the I Am, in the background of my life at all times?" - Eckhart Tolle

When Oprah Winfrey chose Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth as one of her book club selections, thousands chose to read his book in order to quench their spiritual thirst, answer questions about suffering, end conflict and discover their True Essence--awakening to their life's purpose.

Now, as a reminder of the timeless truths found in Tolle's teachings, A New Earth Inspiration Cards provides brief, carefully chosen passages for contemplation, encouragement, and illumination.

A New Earth Inspiration Cards includes four different card backing designs--all featuring our blue planet--as well as four different border colors framing sage insights from Tolle's book of the same name. This 52-card deck is packaged attractively in New World Library's unique magnetic box, with the lid doubling as a pop-up frame--which means you can insert and display your favorite card for meditation or affirmation for ongoing edification.

Here are a few powerful quotations from A New Earth Inspiration Cards:

* "Listen to people's stories, and you'll find that they could all be entitled `Why I Cannot Be at Peace Now'. The ego doesn't know that your only opportunity for being at peace *is* now."

* "Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but seems very real while you are trapped in it."

* "The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality, the miracle of life that continuously unfolds within and around you."

* "Accepting means you allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling at that moment. It is a part of the is-ness of the Now. You can't argue with *what is*. Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer."

* "The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is."

If you're not familiar with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth Inspiration Cards is a fine introduction to his profound wisdom. Those on a conscious path will be reminded to embrace stillness, remain present and allow what is to unfold. Those who have read A New Earth will welcome a distillation of its wisdom for continued enjoyment in the form of this lovely deck.

I am an unashamed Eckhart Tolle fan and absolutely devour anything new. I have this deck of cards right here on my desk and pick a new one every single day. The pictures are pretty, but not distracting, and the quotes seem to be perfect for each day.

Just a lovely way to reinforce the teachings of Eckhart.

....of going through the book myself to extract the key concepts to better reflect upon! I highly recommend it; the presentation is of a photo stand mini altar; it is very beautiful and easy to use; totally worth the price.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)

i believe "A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" to be mindblowing and an absolute must for whomever desires spiritual evolution and personal transformation, awakening to the magic of this marvellous life and erasing all fears.
The Inspiration Deck, helps us to focus in the present moment of our life, the only moment we can live and experience fully if we are perfectly aware of it.
No one pretends this to be an easy path, but once you start on it there is no possible return to what you were before.
A New Earth is THE BOOK of our time, a book that will turn us all into a new humanity! Thank you Eckhart!

I wanted to enjoy these cards, but they don't hit home to me.

I was so disappointed when I received these cards. They just didn't do it for me at all. The only plus was the box, which was rather nice. I like how you can put a card in it and stand it up. Perhaps I'll store some other cards in it and use it for that. The purchase wouldn't be a complete loss for me then.

Each card contains the written wisdom of Tolle...kin to the wisdom of the sages throughout the centuries.

The New Earth Deck is a wonderful way to be reminded everyday to stay in the Now and gives you a different way every day to think about how to do that.

Tolles obsession to become the richest man on the planet has inspired him to put his books into cards now. Its a great idea and shows Tolles salemanship at his best. Sadly as Tolle has yet to realie being rich is not the same as happy.
