Summary

In this episode, we explore an Eckhart Tolle quote: "What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that." I share my thoughts about this quote--why I agree with it and what I would change.

2:08.4	I'm curious if you felt that as well there was something about it that was just cutting, especially those last
