csp:
First I deleted your personal remark about me, but then it seemed meaningful to include it.
Please understand that attempting to attack me personally doesn't change the facts about Eckhart Tolle, which is the topic of this thread.
FYI--I have been qualified and accepted as an expert witness concerning cults and their dynamics in 10 states, including US Federal Court through a Daubert hearing.
BTW--Tolle is no "Socrates."
Maybe you should make up your mind what Tolle is, a religious preacher, philosopher or self-styled therapist.
Needless to say Tolle has no official recognition regarding his supposed expertise.
You keep using Buddhism to defend Tolle, though you admit that "there is no Buddhist authoritative body that certifies 'mindfulness.'"
But you sidestepped my last two questions.
Does any authoritative Buddhist body recognize Tolle officially regarding anything?
Thank you for admitting that "there is no objective means or repeatable trials to verify" any of Tolle's claims.
Anyone interested in seeing how strange Tolle can be should watch his videos on YouTube.
