When challenges arise, teaches Eckhart Tolle, we can move in one of two directions. The first is to react in habitual, often completely unconscious ways that do no good for anyone. The second is to remain alert, heighten our awareness, and respond to the situation by following what could be called the wisdom of our hearts. Perhaps your personal experience in life can attest to this truth. And when we look at the larger societal challenges we face today, it seems like there are two competing forces or pulls at work—one toward increased chaos and suffering, and one toward what Eckhart describes as the awakening of human consciousness. In The Shift That Changes Everything, Eckhart spoke to a worldwide community of people committed to moving in the latter of these two directions. We encourage you to watch the replay and to share your responses in the comments field.
