The Creative Impulse and The Ego

In this podcast Eckhart answers questions on several topics
including how to differentiate between a true creative impulse
and the ego. Eckhart refers to his own experience of
writingThe Power of Now. While living in England, he says
he felt called to move to Canada. He says he had to discern if
the impulse was coming from a deeper place or just a passing
whim. He also cautions against listening to the mind and its
toxic narrative. After waiting several months, Eckhart realized
the feeling was not fleeting but solid intuition. He eventually
made the move, and his writing began to flow.
