Essential Teachings Special: The Deep I

In this episode of "The Deep Eye," Eckhart Tolle guides listeners through a meditation inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, encouraging them to explore their inner depth beyond the limitations of the ego, connecting with universal consciousness. He elaborates on Emerson's analogy of the "wick of individual life" and the "oil of pure being," emphasizing the importance of sensing the deeper dimension within oneself through stillness and awareness. Tolle addresses a question about reconciling the teachings of accepting the present moment with using thought to create and manifest, explaining that these represent the two movements of the universe: creation and the return to stillness. He uses the analogy of the in-breath and out-breath, and relates it to daily life, highlighting the balance between conscious creation and alignment with the present moment, advocating for joyful creation that stems from inner fullness rather than egoic neediness.
