In tonight's talk, Michael suggests that teaching is often about relentlessly pointing toward the source of our sense of "I" and "me". While this may sound weird and be very uncomfortable to the ego, it is the key to Awakening. Uncovering what is always already available to our Observing Mind is the Path that leads us past our habitual egoic evaluations. From Observation we recognize that we are part of the All, and our activity becomes consciously infused with Spirit. Questions and comments deal with serving on a jury with consciousness; recognizing that practice brings stability in the face of the "tingling" sense of the Universe; dealing with the Great Recoil of putting ego in its place.
