The Bare Naked Is-ness of the Present Moment

In this episode, Eckhart laughs with his audience. He exclaims
there’s hope for humanity when such a big crowd seeks greater
consciousness. He also explains that inspiration can quickly turn
to perspiration when we encounter obstacles, especially with the
people in our lives. He quotes existential philosopher, Jean Paul
Sartre who famously said: Hell is other people. While Eckhart
believes that is an ego-based perspective, many of us feel that
life is full of experiences we shouldn’t have. We think something
is wrong with us or that God has a grudge when misfortune
strikes. Eckhart says the greatest part of unhappiness comes from
our minds and the stories we tell ourselves. He says the answer
to life’s struggles will never be found in our thinking. He
believes we find freedom when we release our inner baggage,
unencumbered, to discover the bare naked is-ness of the present
moment.
