A short spoken monologue about how the ego co-opts spiritual teachings to avoid feeling and healing. The speaker argues that while the absolute/divine perspective ("I am the One") is true, people also inhabit relative human bodies and stories that require acknowledgement, feeling, and integration. Main practical guidance: acknowledge the human level of experience before moving to the divine to remain embodied and integrate healing.

Chapters

The ego will use any spiritual concept to trick you into bypassing feeling something, healing something, right? What you feel, you heal. Ego doesn't want you to sit with your pain and love it and forgive it. It wants you to bypass it. And it loves using spiritual teachings to do that. So, for example, if I am God, if I'm the Creator, then I'm already free and perfect and I don't need to work on myself because I am that. I am the One. And that's true from the absolute perspective, but from the relative perspective, you're not experiencing being God everywhere at all time and space. You're experiencing a certain body and a certain life and a certain story. And that's also divine. And so for me, the first rule for embodiment and integration and presence is always acknowledge the human level of a experience first before you rush off to the divine. Like, you just can't be an embodied being if you're so up here in the higher chakras and never down here, right?
