Found in a sig
The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. It has thrills, it's very brightly coloured, it's loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back and say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.

Yes...
...but we can't hold fault with those not ready to realize or those who want to silence those who do.
It's a radical message- the ride being what it is. I believe everyone eventually arrives at this awareness (perhaps not in one or a thousand lifetimes) and as each becomes aware, we all become more aware.
Great "find"
If at first you don't succeed... so much for skydiving.

We in the West tend to kill those people. The people doing the killing don't want to lose their play money. In the East, they revere such people. But since the East is becoming the West, who knows now. However, Tolle hasn't been lynched. He's mostly dismissed by his critics. He seems the genuine article, completely lacking any ego and being a mystic as well. So, perhaps humanity is growing up.
Great punchline.
Aside from the most political of "those people," we're not killing them lately at least. They're everywhere.

Wow, that's a long sig!
But a great message. I agree with what Night Sky said, it's possible to live openly as one without getting lynched, now...
Of course, if that's the ride one's choosing this time... (have you ever read Richard Bach's Illusions?)
I can't come up with any thoughtful responses, but want to let you all know that I've read them. They're each typical of you :)
What's the difference between a fair and an amusement park?
