QUESTION: Why did you choose the name "Eckhart" for yourself? Eckhart relates the story of his unhappy childhood before his pivotal awakening experience, highlighting that it's common among spiritual seekers to choose a new name for themselves when they are ready. QUESTION: Are the moments of nothingness I feel during meditation the arising of Presence? Eckhart confirms that experiences of no-thought or "no-thing-ness" are indeed glimpses of Presence. The key, he emphasizes, is to be able to maintain these moments outside of meditation and during the hustle and bustle of daily life.
