What We Call My Life Is a Mental Fiction

In this episode, Eckhart elaborates on the narratives we create
called My Life. He says these stories are really a work of
fiction. It’s like we’re following a script. We play our part and
go through all the motions. He explains when we identify with
these scripts, we’re unconscious and stuck in the grip of the
ego. These patterns may go back generations and include family
dysfunction and that too becomes part of our story. Family
members have their scripts, and we have ours. Eckhart says when
we argue with each other, that strengthens the ego. We must
realize there is an aspect in all of us that transcends any
narrative. Eckhart calls it the spiritual dimension. We find
freedom when we grow towards greater consciousness.
