The Light of Being Shines Through Our Humanness

In this podcast Eckhart talks about bringing together
the human and the being aspects
of ourselves. He says we would be consigned to a miserable fate
if all we were was human because being trapped by a limited
identity there would be no possibility of self-transcendence.
Eckhart points out even big egos have little selves and their
achievements, even if considerable, often make people so unhappy,
they don’t help transform the world. Eckhart explains when
the human and the being come
together, the being shines through
our humanness, reflecting the light of
consciousness. He says the greatest miracle of all is that the
universe is conscious. And we are a part of that. He quotes Alan
Watts, a famous writer and spiritual teacher, who
said: “You are a function of what the whole universe is
doing, in the same way that a wave is a function of what the
whole ocean is doing.”
