Rising Above Thought

Eckhart says sometimes in our efforts to become present we fall
below thought. It happens when we’re consumed by negativity. He
explains often people reach for something to take away the pain
like alcohol, drugs or food. Eckhart says we may feel relief
for a short time, but eventually discomfort returns. Ekchart
shares what we need to do is resist the pull toward
unconsciousness. And, to awaken spiritually we must rise above
thought to a reach a state of alert presence.
