Without Consciousness There Would Be No World

In this episode, Eckhart discusses excessive thinking as the
source of incredible unhappiness for millions of people. He goes
on to explain that it’s not the circumstances of one’s life that
makes people miserable. It’s the overthinking that causes their
suffering. Eckhart shares a story from his own life just after he
experienced his awakening. He was homeless and spent many days on
a park bench. He admits he would have been justified if he were
filled with anger and resentment, but he wasn’t. Instead, he
was deeply aware of the aliveness and beauty everywhere. He says
it’s possible to awaken even in the midst of extreme
difficulties. He says what illuminates the world, without which
there would be no world, is consciousness.
