Opportunities For Surrender

In this podcast, Eckhart begins with a few thoughts on
meditation. He talks about the Chinese philosophy of Taoism
(dow-ism). He says one of its key principles is Wu Wei (woo way)
which he explains loosely translated, means non-action or “to sit
quietly and do nothing.” Eckhart follows up with a quote from
French philosopher Pascal who said, “All the troubles of humanity
can be traced back to a person's inability to sit quietly in a
room.” Eckhart says we’re so immersed in the outer world that we
don’t even think to look inward. He reveals it’s our job to
rescue our awareness from this hostage-like-state of
unconsciousness. Eckhart says to start by taking small steps in
our daily lives and that all of life’s crises big and small are
meant to be opportunities for surrender.
