No One Can Act Beyond Their Level of Consciousness

In this episode, Eckhart talks about human unconsciousness by
telling the story of his father who he says had profound anger
issues. Eckhart compares his father to a volcano, often brimming
over with red hot rage. For years Eckhart says he resented his
father and despaired whenever he had to brace himself for the
next blow up. However, Eckhart reveals after he experienced his
awakening, he realized his father was not capable of acting
differently. Eckhart states that he finally understood his father
– like so many people - suffered during childhood and was stuck
in dysfunctional patterns from the past, resulting in his
father’s anger and an unconscious life. Once Eckhart realized
this, he says he was able to accept his father unconditionally
and released the expectation that his dad could or should be
someone else. Eckhart explains why we must refrain from labeling
others because of their lack of awareness and that no person can
act beyond their level of consciousness.
