In this podcast, Eckhart says all of us will experience a flowering of consciousness. However, it may not take root in this lifetime. Eckhart says many people lose faith in God when things go wrong in their lives. They feel God has broken a promise. Eckhart says he had this experience in childhood having grown up Catholic, he prayed every night for his family life to improve. But it didn’t get better. By the time he was thirteen, Eckhart says he lost interest in God, because he thought God had lost interest in him. He says God is something far deeper than what we pray to and vaster than any mental concept or idol we may worship.
