Thank you Brother Mark, Brother Nate and Brother Gil for the intro to the lessons. I watched this twice and it was so critically foundationally important to me in understanding the course that I decided it is a miracle that I have remained in the course without this basis...of course the miracle of friendship and deep support is what has supported me to be here as much as possible, as well as Mark's expertise in translating this incredible body of work to bring it to life for me. Mark reading thru the lesson subtitles tied things together for me in a way that really motivates me to stay with the lessons which I haven't been able to do, and Nate I loved how you spoke of our gradual transformation from ego perception and thought to knowledge and truth. Gil your analogy of the machine running in the background while the sun is rising in the foreground just touched me so deeply. I am willing and eager to experience more sunrises as the hum drum of the machinery receeds as that miracle makes itself increasingly known to me. Encouraging any newcomers to listen to 4/8/26 under the lesson recordings to better understand the beautiful spiritual understanding you are awakening into by your curiosity to explore this and I really do believe this course chooses us. Thank you for a perfect, fantastic start for me into these lessons. Love each person in this community so very much.
