besides that with you. >> Okay. See him? [snorts] Okay, good morning everybody. Welcome. So we'll continue today and hopefully conclude the we began from theb we're holding I believe in middle of chapter 5 which in the copies is page 123 right I think we're in middle of hey closer to the bottom of the page today's class is dedicated with prayers for a speedy and complete recovery for Binyam Benhadasa and many long happy healthy and prosperous and beautiful and joyous years. Thank you very much. Whoever needs a complete and speedy recovery Okay. So after a very long discussion that we had about um sima joy and what it means to go out of self-consciousness, out of ego, the ego space, the ego mind into a place which he calls her at right where I'm not at the center of the universe. I'm not at the center of the universe. Not because I don't exist, not because I'm a schmata, because I'm a nothing, but on the contrary, because as we say, you're in flow.
