Freedom From Reactivity

In this episode, Eckhart talks further about freeing ourselves
from the ego. He says while it served a powerful purpose for our
spiritual growth, it’s now time to let it go. Eckhart explains
one of the pitfalls of the ego is our emotional reactivity. He
says challenges have the potential to pull us into anger and
fear. When we react, we’re at the mercy of situations and other
people; they affect us internally. But they don’t have to because
Eckhart says it's an enormous discovery to finally realize
difficulties don’t have to derail us. Things can still go wrong
but we don’t have to react and instead practice presence.
Suddenly we find we’re more conscious because he says as we grow
in awareness our emotional reactivity recedes.
