Finding Meaning in The Existential Void

In this episode, Eckhart talks about suffering consciously and
how to deal with difficult emotions  including fear, anxiety
and regret. Eckhart also discusses Nihilism - the belief that
life is pointless and devoid of meaning. He explains the idea
dates back to Darwin and his idea that evolution is a random
chain of events involving molecules and atoms aimlessly coming
together over millions of years. Eckhart says this very limited,
negative view still affects millions of people today. He
says Nihilism in its extreme form can lead to despair and even
death as many seek to medicate themselves with drugs, alcohol or
other substances to escape suffering, alienation and emptiness in
their lives. Eckhart explains that we all have a deeper purpose
which is connected to the purpose of the universe. He says if we
align with that, then we become a bringer of light. Eckhart says
the world is in dire need of awakening and we must ask ourselves,
“Am I aligned with the light of consciousness?”
