Amor Fati: Loving What Is

In this episode, Eckhart talks about the process of writing his
first book, The Power of Now. He says he surrendered to the idea
that the book wanted to be written. He explains he had a vision
which inspired him long before he wrote the first word. He shares
he encountered naysayers - people who tried to discourage his
pursuits. Eckhart says when an individual or group tries to bring
new knowledge to the world, they often encounter resistance. The
book eventually became a number one New York Times Bestseller and
one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. He says
the ancient Romans had an expression for surrendering to
something greater than ourselves which is: Amor Fati. In Latin it
means, loving one’s fate. Eckhart believes the true meaning is
loving what is. He says when we align ourselves with the Is-ness
of the present moment, enormous power is released, connecting us
with an intelligence which permeates the entire universe.
