A short spoken excerpt from an Eckhart Tolle lecture describing an emerging dimension of awareness within the listener that brings a sense of freedom or detachment from life situations. The speaker explains that this arising awareness both detaches from and flows into one’s life circumstances, altering how challenges are engaged and, in turn, changing the nature of those challenges.

There is another dimension arising in you that gives you a sense of freedom or almost detachment from your life situation. Not only that, they don't exist completely separately. The awareness that is arising in you also flows into your life situation and changes the way in which you deal with the challenges of life through the awareness. And as you change the way in which you deal with the challenges of life, the nature of the challenges also changes.
