Memorable Quotes:
"Anything you observe is changing based on observation. So when you observe sadness, but you're not trying to get rid of it, you're not trying to ignore it, deny it, but you're observing it to be free. You're observing it to come back to your real nature. Then the fabric of it begins to speed up, it begins to change, and you walk with it." [11:25] -Michael Beckwith
"We have to become uninterested in what we think others are thinking about us. And we have to ask ourselves a question. What does life think about me right now?" [20:28] -Michael Beckwith
