Continuous Doing Leads to Forgetfulness of Being

In this episode, Eckhart talks about the fact that many people
live in a continuous state of waiting for the next thing that
will magically transform their lives: a relationship, job, house,
even more money. He says we’re misguided when we believe
something outside ourselves will provide lasting fulfillment;
this mindset is considered normal. But Eckhart
says normal won’t free us from our inner
turmoil. He says even during the best of times, we feel something
important is missing from our lives. Eckhart explains when we’re
continuously doing - waiting for the next thing
- we become forgetful of being and we suffer.
Eckhart says the being dimension is fundamental
to living a fulfilled life. He says awareness of our
inner states is the first step in getting there.
