" You must get the “self” right. Otherwise even seemingly good and moral actions will have a tight, stingy, and corrosive character to them. Conversely, the right “self” can even do the wrong thing, and somehow it can always be worked out. You know this from your own experience. We must know who is doing the action and who is doing the reflecting. Is it “your” self? The God self? Or a mere chameleon? That question is foundational to mature spirituality of any stripe. "
