| Eckhart teaches that the pervasiveness of death and dying is something often unacknowledged in Western society. Yet in our current times, many of us are grappling with the truth of what he calls the impermanence of forms as we continue to navigate profound losses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this powerful question-and-answer video session from the Eckhart Tolle Now archives, Eckhart points to a hidden grace: the opportunity for spiritual transformation through the acceptance of great loss.
Our challenge, he explains, is to enter a state of nonresistance to whatever loss we may be experiencing, and to the feelings and thoughts associated with the experience. This month, make it your practice to hold space for loss and grief—your own and that of others—and allow the formless essence that is untouched by time to emerge. See if you can be with the experience of loss, whether great or small, without adding a narrative or belief structure.
Please share with our community how your experience with accepting loss unfolds. We appreciate your vulnerability and your insights. |
