I find Michael's words to be so clear and ring so true, I don't think I have much more to say about them. So, I will let them speak for themselves.
"If you want to go beyond your model, you have to take the risk of not believing in it. If your mental model is bothering you, it's because it doesn't incorporate reality. Your choice is to either resist or go beyond the limits of your model." (page 120)
"If you really want to see why you do things, then don't do them and see what happens." (page 121)
"So, there are two ways you can live: you can devote your life to staying in your comfort zone, or you can work on your freedom." (page 122)
"When you truly awake spiritually, you realize you are caged. . . . You see that you're afraid to tell people what you really think. You see that you are too self-conscious to freely express yourself. You see that you have to stay on top of everything in order to be okay." (page 123)
"Throughout each day, you frequently hit the edges of your cage. When you hit these edges, you either pull back or try to force things to change so that you can remain comfortable. . . . Sometimes you can't even fall asleep at night because you're too busy thinking about what you need to do to stay within your cage." (page 124)
When you are trained, like a great athlete, to immediately relax through your edges when they get hit, then it's all over. You realize that you will always be fine." (page 125)
I could have included more, but my purpose was not to transcribe the whole chapter. Which of Michael's ideas put a smile on your face?
