A daily (or close enough to daily) video blog regarding everything from life to philosophy, the human condition and the bits and pieces that make up my life situation.
This is REALLY interesting! I haven't read any Eckhart, but it seems like the cognitive dissonance would be problematic. If people started interacting with me in a way I wasn't expecting, I'd probably become frustrated (at least initially). Seems like you'd need a mutual shift for people to coexist constructively with this perspective. Or at least have flexibility on both ends to accept a positive but completely novel experience.
Yeah, I am thinking that would have to be the case as well. Some people, though, are so unconscious of it in the first place that they might not miss it.
One thing I didn't really elaborate on is talking to children. EVERYONE has a different demeanor when they talk to children. When I was tutoring, I made it a point to talk to them like adults. In the short time I was with them, I got a great response.
You need to read, or listen to, Eckhart. I have the audiobook of "Power of Now" and "A New Earth" and I can upload it and have you download it from there. His voice is AMAZING as well.
Even just picking some chapter at random and listening to it for a minute will be exciting.
