Sensing The Sacredness of The Universe

In this episode, Eckhart talks about the two different aspects of
knowing: conceptual knowing and a deeper kind of intuitive
knowing. He says indigenous cultures and people in the ancient
world were deeply familiar with the idea that everything has a
soul. They shared a profound empathy with nature and felt its
aliveness. Eckhart says we have lost touch with this kind of
knowing in current times. Through the overdevelopment of
thinking, we have reduced the natural world to mental concepts.
Today we think of evolution as a random process devoid of
meaning. Eckhart says it’s the price we’ve paid for the
over-emphasis on science and technology. To illustrate his point,
Eckhart recalls a tour through a magnificent forest.
