Stopping the madness. In this podcast, Eckhart explains that humanity is at a pivotal point.

He says the most urgent task of our lives is to connect more deeply with a transcendent part of ourselves.

Eckhart explains the possibility is always there,

just waiting to be discovered.

He uses an ancient Greek term called Metanoia,

which means a profound spiritual awakening brought about

by a dramatic shift in consciousness. In certain mystical traditions it's called

Buddha Nature or Christ consciousness. Eckhart says once we realize we're indeed the light of the world,

we do not have to be a part of the craziness anymore.

He says we can stop the madness by learning to dissolve it.

In ourselves ourselves first.

It's vital for humans, especially now.

We are moving into a critical time period for the totality of humanity,

which is also an incredible opportunity for disidentifying from the unconsciousness that otherwise governs the world.

So how do you do it?

In a way you don't even do it.

It's just a cessation of, one could almost say the cessation of doing and the

realization of being.

And doing on a primordial level is thinking.

Humans are thinking all the time except in dreamless sleep. They're thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking

it's no cessation. And then life gets more and more difficult, then you watch more and more

the news on TV and whatever it's called the news is not the news anymore, it's just opinions.
