Em Uma Conversa, a espiritualidade encontra o dia a dia.As festas de fim de ano já passaram, a árvore está guardada, as luzes... Mas e se a gente perdeu a parte que realmente importa? Vem ser provocado por mestre Eckhart, o místico medieval sem papas na língua que diz: De que adianta o Natal se ele não acontecer em mim? Descubra porque a Solenidade da Anunciação do Senhor ocorre na Quaresma, fazendo apelo ao silêncio que leva ao "Fiat".Depare-se com a pobreza que pode ser, paradoxalmente, um caminho de enriquecimento interior; com o nascimento que acontece no fundo da alma, quando a gente finalmente para de fugir de si mesmo.Spoiler: Deus não saiu de casa, nós é que saímos e talvez seja hora de voltar.Escuta aí pra descobrir quem tem que bater à porta.Música: Alê, o Ferreiro (prod.

Originally aired June 2, 2022. In this episode Eckhart reflects on what it takes to create a successful life. He says we must live with a foot in two worlds. We must learn to reconcile the everyday with the transcendent. Eckhart explains why we should consciously manifest our aims and aspirations while also practicing presence. Eckhart says the most important part of living in this world is bringing those two together. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

« L'image et celui dont elle est l'image son un, en tant que tels. » écrit Maître Eckhart, pour qui : « La raison de l'image est qu'elle soit expressive de tout son être pleinement, dont elle est l'image, non pas expressive de quelque chose détermine en son modèle ».

Originally aired May 26, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart talks about our dependence on people, places, things and concepts as the source of our identity. He says most of us derive a sense of self from our attachments. He believes the essence of who we truly are is much deeper. Eckhart calls it the alive stillness at the center of our being. Once we become aware of it, our attachment to external things fades and we discover our true nature. Eckhart illustrates this idea with the story of a Buddhist monk who sought to release worldly things. His difficulties were great, until he let go absolutely.

Originally aired May 19, 2022. In this episode, Eckhart reflects on his signature teaching about being aware of the present moment. He says when we focus on the here and now our senses become heightened. Eckhart says when we give any experience our full attention, we are taking the first step towards what he calls “self-transcendence.” He explains why we need to release our limited perceptions and connect with the aliveness of the universe.

Eckhart answers questions about our identification with the ego and our thoughts. He says the light of consciousness is relentlessly gobbled up by the mind and turned into thinking. He believes practicing presence is the only immunity against our thoughts. He says as we begin to awaken, we have glimpses of awareness. Eckhart says we don't have to wait for those glimpses to arise spontaneously. He explains that we need to invite them into our lives so that awakened consciousness becomes an integral part of who we are. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ana fikir, zihnin sürekli yorumlayıp yanıltmasına rağmen artık düşüncelere eskisi kadar inanmamayı öğrenmek; geçmiş ve gelecek hikâyesi olmadan “ben kimim?” sorusunu doğrudan deneyimlemek. İnsanların “kendinden kaçma” dürtüsünü güzellik, heyecan, felaket senaryoları ya da bağımlılıklar üzerinden nasıl yaşadığını; fakat arananın kaçış değil, bu anın sadeliğinde uyanmak olduğunu vurguluyor. Bölüm, dinginlik (stillness) ve mevcudiyet (presence) odağıyla; kısa nefes aşamalarının ardından 12 dakikalık saf farkındalık pratiğiyle kapanıyor.

In this episode, Eckhart talks about expanding our consciousness. He says that we outgrow the limited perception we have of ourselves: a person with a personality and a product of our past. We need to get in touch with what Eckhart calls the “deep I,” or the transcendent self. He says we are more than our personalities and more than our bodies. Eckhart shares what we perceive with our senses is only a tiny fraction of what's actually here. He believes what is essential in us is invisible to the eye and not something we perceive with our senses. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart answers questions like… Is it possible to remain in a permanent state of acceptance? And how do we deal with our fears about what others think of us? Eckhart says it's not realistic to expect that we will be consistently peaceful and harmonious. The challenges of our lives will affect us. but not at the core of who we are. We remain rooted in what Eckhart calls the being dimension. He explains we go beyond the duality of happiness and unhappiness to find peace. Eckhart says the degree to which we are free from the opinions of others, depends on our connectedness to the deeper dimension of who we are. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart explains why becoming aware of the present moment is synonymous with connecting to the deeper dimension of who we are. He says we go beyond the personality to reach our transcendent self. Eckhart says we discover we are not just humans "doings" - we are human beings. He says our primary mission is to integrate the two. Eckhart believes this is the most important discovery we can make in our lifetime. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart talks about our obsession with the future. He says if we're always living for the future, we never experience the present because the future is only a thought. We spend our time waiting for a life that never arrives and end up with a life full of missed opportunities. Eckhart reminds us, the only moment we ever truly have is the here and now.

Eckhart leads a meditation and then answers questions. He says the Essential Self is not defined by the personality, life circumstances or history. It's the transcendent dimension beyond that which is the only place we will find lasting freedom and true happiness. Eckhart explains we may not have awareness of our essential self consistently. He says we will lose it many times, then regain it. He shares that finding awareness is a gradual process of waking up to who we truly are. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart says sometimes in our efforts to become present we fall below thought. It happens when we're consumed by negativity. He explains often people reach for something to take away the pain like alcohol, drugs or food. Eckhart says we may feel relief for a short time, but eventually discomfort returns. Ekchart shares what we need to do is resist the pull toward unconsciousness. And, to awaken spiritually we must rise above thought to a reach a state of alert presence.

Eckhart talks about the importance of using our daily lives as spiritual practice which he calls presence power. Throughout the day, when we're not challenged by difficult people or circumstances, we should invite presence into our lives. Like a muscle that gets stronger with use, it will become part of our daily routine. Then when challenges arise, we don't fall into unconsciousness, we draw on our reserves.

Eckhart leads a live meditation on pausing our thoughts without suppressing them. Eckhart says it's more important to be aware of oneself as presence than to get lost in the mind. With practice, gradually the spaces between thoughts increase and more spaciousness grows within. This will cause our lives to become more peaceful and move us closer to a feeling of liberation.

Eckhart answers questions on such topics as eliminating depression, dealing with a heavy pain body and why enlightenment seems to be such a rare phenomenon. Eckhart shares the story of his own pain body and how it finally pushed him into a state of presence. He says we are designed to awaken and that we are a part of the flowering of the consciousness in the universe. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart says the world is not here to make us happy, it's here to make us conscious. If we are looking for fulfillment in a particular relationship, job or life circumstances, we may find disappointment instead. Eckhart says we find peace when we let go of the demand that people and situations should fulfill us. When we accept what is, it becomes possible to find freedom in the here and now.

Send us a textPlease bear in mind this is recording of my practice of a talk I gave in February 2025 to a group of secular artists as a means of connecting with non-believers who operate in the creative arts in the areas of Music, Poetry, and Art. It is an attempt to help them see their creative process as a potential opportunity to approach God. "Art, Music, Poetry: Is It a Pathway to Christian Spirituality?"This presentation explores the concept of mysticism, challenging the misconception that it is irrational or opposed to reason. Instead, I attempt to present spirituality as a gateway to deeper Christian spirituality, particularly as an antidote to the narrow materialistic thinking prevalent in modern society.The episode draws mainly on philosopher Simon Critchley's latest book, On Mysticism, using his insights as a springboard to explore Christian spirituality and mysticism. Critchley, argues that mysticism is about experiencing life in its most intense form. He discusses how figures like Julian of Norwich, Eckhart, and even contemporary artists like Nick Cave have engaged with mysticism. Critchley suggests that deep engagement with art, music, and poetry can serve as secular gateways to religious experience. However, the podcast contrasts this secular approach with the biblical foundation of Christian mysticism, which is rooted in divine revelation.Christian mysticism is not an abandonment of reason but an extension of it—an experiential knowledge of God that transcends intellectual comprehension. Throughout history, Christian mystics, such as St. Teresa of Ávila, St. John of the Cross, and Thomas Aquinas, sought union with God through disciplined spiritual practice. Biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and Paul also had mystical encounters with God. The episode emphasizes that these experiences are not irrational but deeply transformative, aligning with scriptural teachings.A critical theme discussed is how modern scepticism and distractions hinder mystical experiences. People are so consumed with self-obsession and media distractions these days that they rarely create space for transcendence. In contrast, historical mystics dedicated themselves wholly to prayer, fasting, and contemplation, allowing profound encounters with God.Jesus Himself invited believers into a mystical relationship, stating, "I am the vine; you are the branches" (John 15:5). The episode explores how devotional practices such as prayer, scripture reading, and worship cultivate this relationship, leading to spiritual transformation.The contemporary world often operates under the stories of power and hedonism, leading to nihilism and despair. Christianity, however, offers an alternative narrative centered on love, sacrifice, and redemption.

Eckhart talks with a live audience about the paradox of suffering and awakening. He says the ego, in its attempt to strengthen itself, creates distress and eventually brings about its own destruction. For many, this cycle can be the catalyst to awaken. Eckhart says If we had not suffered, we would not find transformation. He believes this paradox is an intrinsic part of the plan. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart discusses forgiveness. He says most of us carry resentments or grievances. Eckhart calls them internal dark spots that block consciousness from emerging and strengthen the ego. True forgiveness he says, is not something we make happen. It arises naturally when we're connected to the deeper essence of who we are. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle teaches us that every minute you spend worrying about the future or regretting the past is a minute lost, because really all you have to live in is the present, the now, and gives you actionable strategies to start living every minute as it occurs. Eckhart published The Power of Now in 1997, which eventually went on to become a New York Times bestseller after Oprah Winfrey fell in love with it and recommended it. "Your life is now. Realise that the present moment is all you have. Make NOW the focus of your life."

Eckhart explains why our goal is to learn to access the transcendent part of ourselves which is beyond thinking. Most people have no connection to this state until some crisis pushes them to dig deeper. Eckhart says we must find spaces of awareness between thoughts which will eventually lead us to a state of being that is connected to the soul of the universe.

Eckhart says the most important things we can do is transform our state of consciousness, realize our connection to the source and let go of our self-imposed limitations. He compares the transcendent realm to the sun. We are like a ray from that source, shining into this world. Eckhart believes everyone on the planet is a brief flicker of consciousness… here for a short time; but connected to the eternal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart quotes ancient Greek philosopher, Pythagorus who said, “Know thyself.” Eckhart says unfortunately our educational system is geared toward only one kind of knowledge: the intellectual. He explains how there is another knowledge based on wisdom and intuition. It's that kind of inner-knowing he says we must embrace, not as a replacement for intellectual knowledge but as a much-needed addition. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart asks, “When life's challenges strike, how do we respond?” He questions do we rise above worn-out patterns with new awareness or do we spiral into the old unconsciousness. He says we shouldn't blame ourselves when we relapse. Suffering and setbacks are a necessary and vital part of awakening. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eckhart discusses the path to awakening. He says there are two stages to a person's life: waking up and growing up. Many start to awaken, only to later discover large parts of their personality lag behind; they haven't really grown up. To reach maturity Eckhart says spiritual practice must encompass all of who we are and become an integral part of our daily lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Eckhart says the beginning of liberation is when you realize you are not the thinker. He says many people derive their identity from what the mind tells them. For those who have not yet awakened that is where they find their sense of self. We free ourselves when we begin to realize there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought and that the things which truly matter like joy, love and inner peace arise beyond the mind.

Eckhart discusses discovering the joy of being. He says in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is and experience a natural sense of peace and aliveness. Eckhart helps us release past conditioning to experience ourselves and our lives with a fresh perspective and sense of delight.

Eckhart takes listeners through a live meditation inspired by a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The wick of individual life runs deep into the oil of pure being." Eckhart says we have great depth within. He encourages listeners to reach beyond the limitations of their personality to find what he calls the Deep I. He describes it as that aspect of ourselves which transcends the ego and is connected to the ultimate source of universal consciousness.

Eckhart takes listeners through two live meditations about the stillness within. He says finding the transcendent dimension is the only thing that will satisfy us. He believes it's not something we can achieve, it's something we discover in the here and now. Eckhart explains why becoming aware of ourselves in stillness is the essence of all identity.

 Eckhart answers questions on several topics, including one about addiction. He says people are addicted to many substances. But the greatest addiction of all is thinking. It's like a drug…and people can't stop.  They resist letting go because it shields them from the painful parts of their lives. Eckhart says the solution is presence. Becoming aware slows down an overactive mind. Our confusion dissipates…and thinking loses its ability to wreak havoc in our lives.

Eckhart addresses topics like surrendering the ego, what to do with anger and how to confront our fears. Eckhart says fear arises when we become drawn into negative thinking and project it into the future. He goes on to say that most of the time, fear has no basis in reality because when the future finally arrives, it's actually the present moment again. And in the present there is usually nothing to fear.

Eckhart leads a meditation and then answers questions from a live audience. He says the most important thing to achieve in our lifetime is stillness because without it we feel frustrated, angry and discontent. He says stillness is the answer that brings the sense of aliveness we feel when we're free of thought.

Eckhart talks with a live audience about the new consciousness he sees emerging around the world. He says one of life's great mysteries is that the universe is conscious. While scientists struggle to define it and we can't see it under a microscope, consciousness exists. Eckhart says we are living proof of that and we have a role to play. He quotes an ancient aphorism: “You are the light of the world.” He says what that means is we are the light of consciousness manifesting in the world.

Eckhart talks with a live audience about letting go of our false sense of self. He says when we base our identity on externals: our looks, what we do and where we live - that's the ego. In that state, we're either inferior or superior; never equal. True relationships become impossible. But when we're grounded in essential being, the need to compare disappears and we discover we are infinitely precious.

 Eckhart talks with a live audience about freeing oneself from the mind to find presence. He says, we must become aware of the harmful thoughts that hold us hostage. Life's crises need not drag us into unconsciousness. We can stay alert, and let the rough times take us to a deeper state of awareness. Eckhart says while the path to presence is narrow, it ultimately leads to life. 

Eckhart talks with a live audience about the process of becoming aware. When challenges arise, he says go with it. Learn to accept each moment as if we had chosen it. He explains that if you do this, what at first looks like an obstacle then becomes an opening into transcendence.

Eckhart talks with a live audience about his belief that we are meant to bring consciousness to this world. To do that, we must keep the pathways clear. We rise above thought, not fall below it, which is what happens when we use substances like alcohol and drugs. Once we become free of that, Eckhart says we realize the essence behind the personality… which is pure presence.

Original Air Date: September 30, 2021. Eckhart talks to a live audience. He says most of us are going through a transition in consciousness which he calls awakening. He sees that as the next stage of human evolution. There have been rare periods in history when collective awareness made great leaps forward. Eckhart sees a similar shift happening now. He says we must continue with our practice, release our inner turmoil and align ourselves with the inevitable now.
