When The Mind Stops, Awareness Remains

In this episode, Eckhart talks to a live audience in Arizona. He
begins by saying the mind can be a wonderful thing – we can
think, speak languages and engage in creativity. Eckhart also
explains when we get too caught up in the mind, we lose touch
with awareness. He cites moments in history such as Nazi Germany
which he describes as a virus of the mind which took over and
resulted in destruction on a mass scale. Eckhart warns when we
create mind-made concepts about others, different from ourselves,
we become desensitized to their inherent aliveness. We cannot see
that in our deepest essence, we are all the same. Eckhart
encourages us to learn from history, so we don’t have to make the
same mistakes going forward. Eckhart says looking back at
yesterday is the perfect catalyst to help us awaken today.
