Can we become familiar with what the ego feels like?
In this talk, Michael discusses uncovering the fundamental truth that is beyond name and form. When we feel resistance to this truth, we are feeling the skin of ego. When we get into a sangha, or group, of spiritual friends, the sensitivity of ego's skin increases. We begin to see ourselves in others; hear our interior dialogs from others' mouths; feel our own pain mirrored in the suffering of others. We ultimately see that all things are totally related and that nothing is outside of relationship. From here we can let go and thus, awaken to what is past the skin of ego.
