    Essential Teachings Special: The Creative Impulse and The Ego
    May 14 2026
    Originally aired August 25, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart answers questions on several topics including how to differentiate between a true creative impulse and the ego. Eckhart refers to his own experience of writing The Power of Now. While living in England, he says he felt called to move to Canada. He says he had to discern if the impulse was coming from a deeper place or just a passing whim. He also cautions against listening to the mind and its toxic narrative. After waiting several months, Eckhart realized the feeling was not fleeting but solid intuition. He eventually made the move, and his writing began to flow.

  • Essential Teachings Special: The End of Suffering

    Essential Teachings Special: The End of Suffering
    May 7 2026
    Originally aired August 18, 2022. In this episode Eckhart answers questions about suffering as part of the human condition. He says many spiritual traditions focus on awakening as the end of suffering. Paradoxically, Eckhart says we need to go through a certain amount of suffering to realize we don’t want it anymore. He says oftentimes our suffering is caused not by our life situation, but our reaction to it. He believes much of our pain is generated by the mind and its toxic narrative. Eckhart says we can move beyond suffering by embracing life’s challenges. He says they are a doorway into the transcendent realm and that when we step into the light of consciousness, we are free from suffering at last.

  • Essential Teachings Special: Healing Trauma Through Presence

    Essential Teachings Special: Healing Trauma Through Presence
    Apr 30 2026
    Originally aired August 11, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart answers questions about healing from childhood trauma. He says it’s important to acknowledge the trauma and to work through it, but not to get stuck in it. He believes while we may feel like a victim it is not ultimately who we are. Eckhart shares stories about his own childhood trauma. He explains that his father had intense anger issues and abandoned Eckhart and his mother when he was just eleven years old. As an adult Eckhart later realized that his father had been traumatized by his own childhood. He says dysfunctional family patterns are handed down generation after generation. He says healing happens when we break the cycle and that by practicing presence, we realize we are more than all the painful things we’ve experienced.

Listening to these pod casts will enable you to be in the presence of someone who is very mentally stable. This will help you.

“A man follows the religion of his friends”, and having this on in the back ground is very good for you.

Sounds quality is poor on some and good on some files.

Enjoy 💫
