Transcending our limitations.

In this episode, Eckhart answers questions about transcending our limitations.

He says, every human has certain obstacles in their life and facing them as part of the path to awakening.

However, Eckhart warns that problems arise when our limitations become part of our identity. He believes we create a false narrative about who we think we are.

Eckhart says, while it's important to surrender and accept what is,

we do not confuse deeper acceptance with the acceptance of the narrow concept we mistake for ourselves.

Eckart says we reach transcendence by letting go of those concepts.

We can embrace the isness of this moment and through that process transform into the realm

of spacious awareness.

Hello, welcome, and I'd like to welcome you to our session and to the present moment.

And so I suggest we start not by thinking that now we are going to do a meditation,

but we simply start by becoming aware of what's already here,

and that is you in the present moment.

But who or what is you?

Let us let go of memories, without memories,

who am I? Ask yourself that question.

But don't look for an answer in the realm of concepts.

Be happy with not knowing who you are

when you make no reference to your past or any past or future.

So without past and future, who am I right here and now?

After asking the question, there comes a space of stillness, alert stillness.

And that is presence. stillness, alert stillness.
