Quantum Spirituality Symposium

What a pleasure it was facilitating the Quantum Spirituality Symposium! The purpose of the conference was to offer an experience and identify tools by which the participants could learn to see and experience themselves, the world, and God another way. The goal was to transform the usual participant-passive conference into a highly dynamic experience in which participants actively engaged with the speakers and each other to identify and discover answers to their burning spiritual questions.

Based on comments from the participants, QSS 2008 delivered. My biggest learnings came from Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Viera - a couple who divorced many moons ago (to save the relationship) and have now come together to teach forgiveness. How amazing! They have published Take Me To Truth: Undoing the Ego. One concept they shared was recognizing that the ego LOVES to make you feel guilty. I don't know why, but I had never made that connection.

Over these past two weeks, it's been fun watching the ego in action. Two days ago, as I was getting ready to leave my home in the morning, and the thought occurred to me, "Wouldn't you like to play a game of pinball before you leave?" Now, I saw right away that my ego was attempting to take me off task, which would result in me being late, and feeling guilty about it. I found myself, literally, saying to my ego, "Why would you do that? Why would you make a suggestion like that which is not at all aligned with my best interest?"

I had to laugh...which is important to do when the ego is involved!

In Joy,
Michael
