The Greatest Spiritual Practice Is Letting Go Of Thought

The Greatest Spiritual Practice Is Letting Go Of Thought

In this episode, Eckhart talks more about transcending the heavy burden of self. He says most people can’t stand themselves and yearn to be free…even if the desire is unconscious. He says the relentless barrage of thinking pushes many to seek relief… through substances like… alcohol, marijuana or other drugs. He explains for a fleeting moment we may find a reprieve… until the high wears off…and we’re back in the turmoil again. Or we post on social media…hoping to find love and acceptance there… racking up “likes.” But that too often backfires. Eckhart says we’re reaching for the wrong thing. We will never find what we seek in our limited thinking, or our superficial ideas about ourselves and the world. Eckhart says the greatest spiritual practice we can do is to let go of thought.
