If we didn't need to make money, would we be doing this? Why put an article on LinkedIn, why even this podcast? The only reason to need to be seen or heard is survival. I need this love, this relationship, food, money, a job. Feel a lack in your life, that's survival right there. The background radiation is the ongoing fear, and the fear is about survival, because there's a separation: I'm alone, I have to survive.

Audree's awareness of the day: separation is part of creation. The tree starts from one seed. Creation moves from the void out and separates, yet we perceive that as bad, and the misreading is where the hidden hooks live, the shame and guilt that block your success for doing what creation does.

In relationships the survival drive spawns the gaming, the manipulation, the strategy, because you believe you need that connection to survive. The same drive scales into what Michael calls death by sameness, the standardization large organizations run in the name of consistency, which took away the intelligence of the individual.

It isn't for peace and stillness and oneness, Audree says: what you're being shown is the very thing that's sabotaging your success. Let's be clear, Michael says, it is how you are sabotaging your own success, and everybody in the pattern with you gets taken out too. Awareness is the primary mechanism of evolution, and what you hold in awareness starts dissolving on its own.

His realization from the last week: caring for others, seva, all of it is a gigantic trap, because the desperate need to help anybody else is the desperate need to complete your own journey. Swim in your own lane. Then he names his own stuck place as exactly that need, and reverses inside the same sentence: it has to be the other end, where he's the one being bailed out. He doesn't finish it. Being internally authentic with yourself, that stops the sabotage. You don't stop loving your children because they do certain things. You don't stop loving yourself.
