Hammer, meet nail head! Good job, sir! So many important points on what I call the ensnarements of ego. It’s a slippery subject! (pun intended)
I highlighted that one line because it mirrors one of the insights given to me. Life is God speaking to us. Therefore life itself, experience, consciousness, it’s all a prayer and we’re always speaking to God. How do we respond? What kind of conversation is it? This is “merely” a metaphor, but it has been profound to my belief system.
