Awareness Of Our Thoughts Is the Beginning Of Awakening

In this podcast, Eckhart talks with an audience in Adelaide,
Australia. He says participating in the retreat will allow
everyone to have a taste of presence, rather
than know it as a mere concept.  He explains that many of us
place little value on the current moment because we believe
fulfillment can only happen at some point in the distant future.
He says the anticipation of things-yet-to-be is so strong, we
miss opportunities in the here and now because the thinking mind
takes over and muddies the water. Eckhart shares an experience he
had at the age of seventeen, when a friend gave him several
spiritual books. Through study, he learned to shift his thinking
from negative to positive. Suddenly, the well-worn idea that bad
things always happened to him evaporated. This breakthrough was a
catalyst for greater spiritual development that continued well
into his twenties. Eckhart explains awareness of our thoughts is
the beginning of awakening.
