“No skill is required to enter the state of mind that comes from removing your ego self. Instead, as [Christopher] Alexander reminds us, ‘It is only a question of whether you will allow yourself to be ordinary, and to do what comes naturally to you, and what seems most sensible, to your heart, always to your heart, not to the images which false learning has coated on your mind.’ It is not common to value the simple, ordinary life that Alexander points us to. It is not common because we value our ego identity, for we do not see how it creates barriers that prevent us from discovering our genius.” (08/13/25)
