Discovering Our True Nature

In this podcast Eckhart talks about our dependence on people,
places, things and concepts as the source of our identity. He
says most of us derive a sense of self from our attachments. He
believes the essence of who we truly are is much deeper. Eckhart
calls it the alive stillness at the center of
our being. Once we become aware of it, our attachment to external
things fades and we discover our true nature. Eckhart illustrates
this idea with the story of a Buddhist monk who sought to release
worldly things. His difficulties were great, until he let go
absolutely.
