About this episode
Eckhart Tolle discusses overcoming obstacles to conscious creativity and the role of the ego in self-sabotage.
Originally aired June 23, 2022. In this podcast, Eckhart talks about overcoming obstacles to conscious creativity. He explains we may have a vision of what we’d like to create, but when we try to express ourselves the ego kicks up resistance. Eckhart says we feel attacked by inner voices such as, “Who do you think you are? You’re not ready for this” and then we self-sabotage. He explains how we doubt our talent and give in to our fears. Eckhart says when this happens, we must recognize it as the voice of the ego and in those moments we should practice presence. He shares that we need to release our negative thinking, allowing the creative process to flow through. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
