The turnaround puts the present moment in my face 
and says, "This is what's happening. And it's right to 
be happening, whatever you may have believed to the contrary."

It's not just the waking up outside a tradition that 
impresses me about Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle, 
but their ability to formulate simple teachings to help 
others along the way. 

Maharishi was a genius for adapting a pre-existing meditation 
for popular consumption. Katie's coming up with 
those four questions out of thin air is something else again.
