Bringing Consciousness to the Grief Process

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired November 3, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart answers questions about dealing with grief consciously. He asks what does the grief process look like for an awakened person? Do we experience the classic stages of denial, anger and bargaining? Eckhart says even if we’re in touch with the transcendent dimension, we will still experience grief, it doesn’t disappear completely. He believes, however, the intensity will be less.

Why Awakening Leads to Freedom

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired October 27, 2022. In this episode, Eckhart answers questions about why it’s important to seek awakening and how we can learn to function in a world that seems chaotic. Eckhart says we must learn to awaken to free ourselves of suffering. It is part of our legacy to realize a sense of peaceful aliveness that is independent of our external circumstances.

Instead, Eckhart suggests we should release our ego and move towards transcendence. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

You Already Are Who You Want to Become

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired October 20, 2022. In this podcast, Eckhart talks with a live audience in Greece. He cautions participants against the belief that enlightenment is somewhere ‘out there’ or is something to be achieved in the distant future. He says we don’t have to go through a long process of ‘becoming’ to find liberation. Eckhart explains the irony is that when we look to the future, we miss the opportunity to find freedom right here in the present moment. He urges all of us to wake up and to realize we already are who we want to become. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
