In this talk, Michael addresses the paradox of spiritual fire being fueled and focused by surrender. Taking the inward step allows us to see that we can’t keep anything and yet we learn to accept and, indeed, celebrate this reality as we meet the world. We do this by recognizing, accepting, integrating and not attaching to whatever we face. In this way, the way out is marked by our journey within.
