This Moment is the Most Important

In this episode, Eckhart describes the subtleties of what happens
when we become present. He says the mind slows down, thinking
recedes, awareness rushes in and our preoccupation with the past
and future fades. He explains that some people are so obsessed by
their history, it consumes their current life. Eckhart says the
mind is a wonderful instrument if used in the right way, if not
destruction often follows. Eckhart says most of us do
not use the mind; it uses us
and eventually, we believe we are the mind. He describes this as
a disease and a delusion. Eckhart encourages everyone
to practice moments of pure awareness. He says presence can be a
powerful tool for healing allowing loving kindness to flow
through us and affect everything we touch. He says we don’t know
yet how it will transform the world, but it most certainly will.
