Beyond the Surface Layer of Reality

In this episode Eckhart talks about our true purpose which he
believes is to transcend our surface layer of reality and our
superficial sense of self. He says most of us define ourselves as
a person with a past, an accumulation of thoughts and emotions
built up over a lifetime. Many identify completely with this
limited view, but Eckhart explains we are more than that. He says
often a life crisis becomes the catalyst for discovery. We may
lose our homes, jobs or someone we love, but Eckhart says loss
pushes us toward awakening. Eckhart believes in this process the
ego burns up and the old ways of being give way to our essential
self.
