We all have our limits. Whether physical, emotional, or perceived. Let's take a look at how you can determine what the mind creates as perceived limits and what you can do to get past them.
The conditioned mind will often create feelings out of fear, and these should not be the guiding force in your life. Eckhart urges us instead to discover the deeper feelings that arise from Presence—the source of true intuition—and to let that guide your actions.
Can you explain more about the "surface" of the present moment? How can we go deeper? The "surface" of the present moment contains the external forms we perceive with the physical senses—any of which can serve as a tool for stepping out of the thought stream.
How can I be aware of my ego prior to it arising? Eckhart explains that as you develop deeper Presence, the gap between an aggressive ego assertion and becoming aware of it will shorten.
If individuality is an illusion created by the mind, then who or what reincarnates? Eckhart suggests that the answer to reincarnation can be found through observation.
Do you have advice on how to work with the longing nature of my ego? Eckhart recommends allowing space to go within and find your true home. From this inner rootedness, we transcend neediness.
Eckhart shares that the most important thing to do when confronted with unconsciousness is not to react to it, as that would draw you down to the same level of unconsciousness. Instead, become intensely present so you can see things as they are and act from a place of sanity.
Do humans bring about their own suffering? Eckhart shares that economic structures are a reflection of the collective state of consciousness in humans, which is still largely rooted in the ego.
How can we use technology as a tool to advance humanity and consciousness? Technology is neutral and can be used to clutter the mind or to encourage spaciousness.
