You are the light of consciousness.

In this podcast, Eckhart talks with a live audience about the new consciousness he sees emerging around the world.

He says one of life's great mysteries is that the universe is conscious.

While scientists struggle to define it and we can't see it under a microscope, consciousness exists.

We are living proof of that.

Eckart says, we have a role to play.

And he quotes an ancient aphorism, you are the light of the world.

He says what that means is you are the light of consciousness manifesting in the world.

Right now we are sitting here, you are sitting here, ultimately there's only one eye and it's sitting there and here, there's only this one eye,

you are sitting here, you are aware of your sense perceptions.

That's part of the present moment.

You are aware of this room.

You are aware of the lights, the screen.

Man sitting on a chair talking.

You hear the voice.

You hear the background noise. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I think it's,

they call it music. It's noise that goes with a beer fest. That's fine. You perceive the

totality of this room and yourself, the body, you're sitting on the chair, and that's the present moment, one would say. But it's not the depths of the present moment, it's the surface of the present moment. The surface of the present moment is sense perceptions, hearing, seeing. If one of your sense

perceptions is missing, either you don't hear or you don't see, that's fine. You have the others.

So you're aware of sense perceptions. You're aware of what you hear, what you see, what perhaps even what you touch.

And is that all there is to this moment? Is that all there is?

Well, you would say, yes. Haven't you forgotten something? No. Just a second.
