This session opens with a meditation on the miraculous nature of ordinary experience and the love at the heart of consciousness. The dialogues explore themes of surrender through emotional pain, the collapse of the illusion of certainty during life crises, and the physical energetic experiences that arise as identification loosens. Throughout, the teacher emphasizes full intimacy with present experience, the inseparability of waking up and growing up, and the bittersweet aliveness found in not knowing.
