Reaching the Depths of Our Being

In this episode, Eckhart answers questions from a woman seeking
insights for her sister who recently was diagnosed with a mental
disorder. She wants to know how Eckhart views the diagnosis
within the context of his teachings, asking, “Could there be a
silver lining?” Eckhart says while dysfunction may be present, he
cautions against using labels. He also shares that he believes
many mental illnesses are normal human behavior which has been
exaggerated by the ego. The solution, he says, is to remain
rooted in awareness whenever possible. With practice he believes
we can avoid acting out unconscious patterns. Eckhart explains
there is reason for hope because a path to healing can begin even
in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances.
