Episode notes

The speaker recalls a profound experience where they perceived two opposing forces, the ego represented as dark and the essence as light, engaging in a struggle inside them. This internal conflict manifested physically as extreme discomfort. However, a realization dawned on the speaker that instead of being at war, the ego and essence are meant to dance together harmoniously. This insight led to a transformative moment where the speaker felt a divine presence, symbolized by a ball of bright light and a sense of connection with God.
