Fatih. Loving what is. In this episode, Eckhart talks about the process of writing his first book, The Power of Now. He says he surrendered to the idea that the book wanted to be written. He explains he had a vision which inspired him long before he wrote the first word. He shares that he encountered naysayers, people who tried to discourage his pursuits. And he says when an individual, a group, tries to bring new knowledge to the world, they often encounter resistance. The book eventually became a number one New York Times bestseller. And I believe one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. And he says that the ancient Romans had an expression for surrendering to something greater than ourselves, which is amour fatih. In Latin it means loving one's fate. Eckhart believes the true meaning is loving what is. He says when we align ourselves with the isthness of the present moment, enormous power is released, connecting us with an intelligence which permeates the entire universe.
