Addiction to Thinking

Eckhart answers questions on several topics, including one about
addiction. He says people are addicted to many substances. But
the greatest addiction of all is thinking. It’s like a drug…and
people can’t stop.  They resist letting go because it
shields them from the painful parts of their lives. Eckhart says
the solution is presence. Becoming aware slows down an overactive
mind. Our confusion dissipates…and thinking loses its ability to
wreak havoc in our lives.
