Dishin it With Dwight: A New Earth with Oprah, Jay-Z, and Abdul

UPDATE--- UPDATE--- UPDATE---IT WAS FOR OWN!!!!

Oprah and Jay-Z's "New Earth"

Rumors are flying all over the net about The FUTURE’s very own honorary member Oprah Winfrey visiting Sean “Jay-Z” Carter’s old neighborhood in Brooklyin, NY. Jay and Oprah visited Bed Stuy on Lexington Ave. & Lewis Ave. Jay’s block before moving to Marcy Projects; but then spent some time in Marcy Projects. The rumor is that Oprah was filming for an upcoming show that Jay will be featured on and Jay was showing her where he came up; if you also look closely in the photo you will see that Jay is holding in his hand “A New Earth,” which is an amazing book that Oprah has supported with her book club. A New Earth written by Eckhart Tolle assist readers in creating their life’s purpose and it challenges you to look within yourself and make decisions that truly transform your way of thinking in return creating “a new earth” for you and those around you. With this book being in his hand I wonder did Oprah bring him a copy? Is Jay currently reading it? Or was he trying to impress Ms. Winfrey? Regardless of why he is holding the book if you want an awakening in you and want to start creating new possibilities for your own life you must read “A New Earth,” it changed my life.

A New Earth
Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.

Notes from Nathan: Changes

Changes are inevitable. We float through life wondering about the next change. What's it going to be? Will someone die? Will I lose my job? Will I win the lottery?

We live in a microwave world where literally every nanosecond has change attached to it. The question I ask today is how do you manage change? Do you go with the flow or do you resist it? I believe that we can say how it goes. We can choose the changes. I remember a few years ago when I got caught up in drug abuse. It was a course that I never thought I'd be on, but I travelled it and with some of the best people too! I felt like a star, I was doing it with some of the best of them. I didn't realize that it was all smoke and mirrors (no pun intended here), until I decided one day to STOP. I had to leave that life behind me. I had to move on and better myself. I saw people around me either dying or plain and simply spinning out of control because of the drugs and I didn't want that for my life. I had come so far and had accomplished so much. I refused to throw it all away.

One day, I prayed and asked God to show me the direction to take my life and that's when I made the change. I went to church. I began to read my bible more frequently. I stopped using profanity and I stopped hanging with those seedy characters that I once called friends. It was quite the sordid life. But I'm back, from outer space, taking on the world with a new sense of purpose and zeal.

There are less than 100 days left in this year. What changes are you willing to make, that you didn't make when you declared those New Year's Resolutions at the top of 2009. It's never too late!

Create a "Sevenly" Day!
