Amy Minh answers “Question. I've been trying to read Eckhart...”

Annie Kostyk asked this question about A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose:

I didn't understand it at all and it didn't make any sense so I gave my book away. Now I am ready. I read A New Earth instead but the concepts are pretty similar. It makes so much sense.

All of these are due to our ego.

Just realized your question was 4 years ago. I hope you are ready now :) (less)
