Empathy And the Suffering of Others

In this podcast Eckhart talks about our growing awareness and how
it can be used in service of others. He says when presence is the
foundation of our lives, we are more available emotionally. He
explains why this is when the pitfalls of the ego no longer block
us.  Eckhart believes when we are confronted by the pain of
others, if we have a clear channel connected to the source of
consciousness, we will exercise empathy and compassion. In this
state he says we will not be shaken when the winds of misfortune
blow because we are rooted in the deepest part of our being.
