Eckhart explains the irony is that when we look to the future, we miss the opportunity to find freedom right here in the present moment.

Jun 2500:38:37Tap to summarizeThis episode is a re-release; it originally aired October 6, 2022. In this podcast, Eckhart answers questions about the aphorism “be careful what you wish for.” He says when we attempt to manifest certain desires in our lives, it’s critical we discern whether the motivation is ego-driven or something more profound.

Therefore, he encourages us to not get too attached to outcomes. He says as we reach a state of deeper consciousness, we learn to transcend the polarities of good or bad and we simply align ourselves with what is. Hosted on Acast.
