Transforming Our Suffering into Awakening

Eckhart talks with a live audience about the paradox of suffering
and awakening. He says the ego, in its attempt to strengthen
itself, creates distress and eventually brings about its own
destruction. For many, this cycle can be the catalyst to awaken.
Eckhart says If we had not suffered, we would not find
transformation. He believes this paradox is an intrinsic part of
the plan.
