Letting Go of The Narrative of Me

OPRAH AND ECKHART TOLLE
About this episode

In this podcast, Eckhart says we are at a critical juncture. He explains we must evolve to the next stage of development and transcend the ego. Hesays many people try to go back to their pre-egoic state of consciousness anesthetizing themselves with alcohol, drugs, food, sex and work… all of which lead to unconsciousness. He says even though the ego is a key part of our development, it’s time to let it go. So many of us are stuck inwhat he calls the narrative of me: the unhappy story we tell about ourselves which masks our truer, more radiant essence.
