Eckhart has been massively helpful throughout this experience. Thus far I’ve only read the power of now and find myself listening to his speeches more than anything else.
I’ve had the experience several times now and find myself more afraid of life without an identity right now. Th truth seems scarier than the dream. It’s nice to hear that ego death doesn’t have to be quite as brutal as the name suggests. I’ve identified with a lot of thoughts that have destroyed my life but as I come to realize what the ego is. It was never malicious, it really just tried to protect me my entire life and was never given the proper tools to do so.
I think I moved forward to this point very quickly and without any instruction. I believe slowing down and understanding presence right now is going to be really important.
I’m so glad we have sites like this as we tread through these waters.
