I'm admiring your meditative practice of reading Meditations :)

Indeed. Reading that book came with a dawning understanding that actually practicing communication in the way it describes is a heroic effort. It's pretty easy to read and understand the concept, but to really practice it in daily life take so much patience and self awareness. The sort of dedication Marcus is describing all over this book...

Yeah, this is a fascinating topic. In my other posts on the religious history ideas, my interpretation was essentially that the emergence of this idea of divinity existing within humans has been a long, slow and very painful collective investigation. I tend to relate to this idea through a perspective based in meditation because I've immersed myself in that the last few years, but that grounding isn't necessary. Everybody is bringing unique experience and perspective to the collective table, and I'm often inspired, excited and humbled to see that.
