There Is Beauty in The Simplest Things

OPRAH AND ECKHART TOLLE
About this episode

In this episode, Eckhart talks with an audience in Prague. He explains what happens as we become more conscious. He says we suddenly recognize our Beingness, in addition to the human aspect of ourselves. We become aware of the transcendent realm that Eckhart describes as an emanation from the one source of universal consciousness. Eckhart says we can also call this God. Clarity emerges, because our mind is free of compulsive thinking. We sense more deeply the aliveness of everything around us. We experience the sacredness of another person, a tree, a flower. Eckhart says the secret of life is to continue giving our fullest attention to whatever is in front of us. He explains there’s beauty in the simplest things when they’re done consciously.
