Beyond the Conceptual Self

Eckhart talks with a live audience about letting go of our false
sense of self. He says when we base our identity on externals:
our looks, what we do and where we live - that’s the ego. In that
state, we’re either inferior or superior; never equal. True
relationships become impossible. But when we’re grounded in
essential being, the need to compare disappears and we discover
we are infinitely precious.
