In this podcast, Eckhart elaborates on the path toward inner peace.

He shares how we can align ourselves with what he calls the isoness of the present moment

and unburden ourselves from unnecessary thinking.

Eckhart says, we are here primarily to awaken to who we are, beyond our three-dimensional form.

That is the only way to lead a truly satisfying life and to reach what Eckhart describes as timeless consciousness.

The good news is according to the weather forecast, the sun is going to come out shortly before sunset.

And the other good news is it doesn't only matter what the weather is like out there.

Being independent of external conditions, not reactive to external conditions,

accepting of external conditions because they already are the isners of things here and now.

That's the quickest way to inner peace is to align yourself with the isness of what is,

even if you think it requires some action to do something about it, but in the meantime it is.

Then you can do something, not about the weather probably, you can try through focused power of consciousness, not impossible, but unnecessary.

And that's also a quick way to not being burdened by unnecessary thinking to align yourself with the isness.

And then there isn't that much to think about unless it's a constructive thing, the problem needs to be solved, a so-called problem.

We are primarily here to deepen our realization of who we are, beyond form.

Both the Buddha and Jesus talked about an inner dimension that is formless, that you need to realize in order to become free of complete dependency on the forms that your life takes.

The Buddha talked about what's traditionally translated as emptiness as the essential condition, the essential you.

Better translation would have been, now we have got emptiness in all the scriptures that's been translated, but spaciousness or formlessness would have been a better translation.

Jesus talks about the sky that's within you, that's another word for heaven, the kingdom of the sky translated into more modern terminology, the dimension of spaciousness.

The kingdom of heaven is the old translation, this is hard to relate to nowadays, kingdom of heaven.

If we had been speaking today, he would have said the dimension of spaciousness, because when you look up at the sky, you see spaciousness, especially when it's not cloudy.

The clouds kind of represent the thoughts in your consciousness, and the sky is the vast expanse without which there wouldn't be any room for the clouds, there couldn't be any clouds.
