Beautiful work, Professor Brownstein. Your allusion to the “monkey mind” is important. It’s a common block in yoga - Sanskrit for “yoke” (connection between the finite (you) & the infinite). The gap in this conversation is the need for a physical practice to open the spiritual channel - and be able to corral the Inner Bureaucracy - hence the daily workouts and meditation so many humans adopt in their lifestyle. They know intellectual understanding is only half the battle. It takes the hard work of developing habits that enable what’s already mentally realized. And it’s never finished - that habit has to be practiced every day.

I enjoy reading your essays even if I don't believe in the "spiritual". Keep 'em coming.
Sounds like universal power is similar to laser-like focus.
