Beneath every thought, feeling, and experience, there's something deeper. Something quieter. In this more contemplative episode, Michael points to the stillness that's always available - always has been, and always will be!

• How physics, Taoism, and a baby's eyes all point to the same thing

• Why falling back into the formless isn't an escape from life

• How this stillness is actually what enables high-level functioning
