Finding Our Timeless Essence

In this episode, Eckhart talks about the sense of guilt which has
plagued humanity through the centuries. He says it’s part of the
ego’s dysfunction: the feeling that not only is there something
wrong with the world, there’s also something wrong with me.
Eckhart explains certain religious traditions have interpreted
this as God’s punishment - we believe somehow we are at fault
when bad things happen. He says this results in a heavy pain body
burdened by resentments, grievances and also the sense of being a
victim. Eckhart says these are ego identities based on faulty
thinking. He believes what’s needed is wisdom so we can free
ourselves to find our true identity - some traditions call it our
Buddha nature or Christ consciousness. Eckhart says this aspect
of us cannot be harmed by what has happened to us; it is not
touched by suffering. He believes we must look inside to find
this timeless essence that lives within each of us.
