Liberation from the Mind

Eckhart says the beginning of liberation is when you realize you
are not the thinker. He says many people derive their identity
from what the mind tells them. For those who have not yet
awakened that is where they find their sense of self. We free
ourselves when we begin to realize there is a vast realm of
intelligence beyond thought and that the things which truly
matter like joy, love and inner peace arise beyond the mind.
