This is a good illustration of the dichotomy/paradox between appreciating a perfect, inexorable process and being engaged in being the cause, like it is all up to me/us. The terms he uses are Ground of Being (perfect, inexorable process that carries us along) and the Authentic Self, which is called to deeply urgent action, as if the Universe will be a great big flop if we screw up. Enjoy.
I’m not very familiar with Andrew Cohen other than this and a few other videos, and I’m certainly not partisan to his or any other methodology or system, nor am I against it, rather the terms he uses are valuable in this particular part of the conversation on state change.
