Oprah’s Online Class-A Letter To Students of A New Earth

Oprah issued a few statements  concerning last Monday’s first online class asking everyone who is signed up to come early to the second class, next Monday night.  They may have to limit the number of participants if the video quality starts to deteriorate again.  So take your seats EARLY! 

Most people that I know watched a half hour or at least captured a decent 15 or 20 minutes with Tolle and Oprah but after that the video faded in and out for the duration of the webcast.  Some recalled that their screen went blank altogether.  "It was very frustrating watching the connection fade in and out for 60 minutes- much easier to shut the video off altogether."

But then the next day was perfect watching the 90 minutes in peace, all worth waiting for.  Oprah asked Tolle very relevant questions.  Her personal involvement in creating global consciousness was obvious.  If you’re interested,  there are groups online and phone for discussions about A New Earth and the classes.  Click the contact in the navigation bar if interested.

Oprah’s letter to all Students of A New Earth:

Like you, I was deeply disappointed that so many dedicated webcast participants around the world were unable to view our first live webcast.

Experts from both Limelight Networks and Move Networks, our partners in bringing this groundbreaking experience to the Internet, believe they have identified and addressed the programming problem that was unmasked by a historic number of simultaneous users. While we were certainly prepared for the more than 700,000 people registered and continue to be assured that capacity was not the issue…it is clear that pioneering this new platform will always come with risks. So, that said…the team believes we are good to go for another try.

Since Monday night, over 1.5 million people have streamed or downloaded the webcast, and that option will be available on Tuesday of each week after all of the next nine classes.

I have been encouraged by the thousands of message board posts cheering us on to continue the live classes on Monday nights, and so we will keep moving forward, attempting to break new ground.

If you are willing to partner with me in exploring this new frontier—I’ll see you in class live on Monday. Otherwise, you can stream or download the class on Tuesday or whenever it’s convenient. I understand the frustration and leave it to you to experience the class in whatever way works best.

In Preparation for Monday’s Class, Oprah’s staff is asking everyone to  arrive early.

On Sunday, you will receive an e-mail that contains your special link and specific time to enter class. If you arrive after 8:55/7:55c, there is a chance you will be unable to participate in the live Web event. Our goal is to provide as many of you as possible with a positive experience. If we should see a significant decline in video quality, we may limit the size of the class that evening.
