The World Will Always Challenge You

In this podcast Eckhart talks about the importance of remaining
what he calls ‘teachable.’ He cautions us to be aware of the
stories, concepts and labels we use to interpret the world. He
encourages us to ask ourselves: when we meet someone new, do we
give ourselves space to just be, to perceive? Or do we instantly
judge and manufacture stories about this person? He ponders when
we travel, do we experience awe? Or do we compare it to other
places we’ve been? He points out that when we never experience
anything new, the sense of aliveness is gone from our lives.
Eckhart says we must ask ourselves - who are we without the old
narrative, the mental and emotional conditioning which is the
result of our self-centered thinking. He points out the world
will always challenge us. He says it’s not here to make us happy;
it’s here to help us awaken.
