Distinguishing Between Your Life and Your Life Situation

In this episode, Eckhart jokes with an audience about getting a
call from the Star Wars Galactic fleet. He then turns to
practical matters when he discusses returning home after being
away on a retreat. He says we all have a “life situation” which
includes: relationships, work, finances and physical health – all
burdens we carry with us even when we’re on vacation. Eckhart
cautions against having our consciousness completely absorbed by
problems. He says our “real life” is in the present moment which
should only unfold in the here and now, not in the past nor in
the future. He believes the profound difference between our
“life” and our “life situation” is where our awareness remains.
