Dear Annie,
I just realized that my post to you contained something that frustrated me to no end when I used to read it...the word "ego" and what it means. I think different people use it in different ways (at different times, even).
Ego can refer to that part of us that thinks we're the greatest (or the least). That part of us that says, "Look what I did. I'm amazing." And then the ego trip follows.
What I was referring to was the ego that wants us to believe that we ARE this body we live in, not the spirit nature that we really are. This ego perpetuates that belief at every opportunity...and we give it plenty of those :) This ego has a hard time when we come to the place when we realize that we are all one, that we are all connected. It wants us to believe we are separate, autonomous.
An experience such as the one you had shows the infinite possiblity of living in the reality that we are all connected...and the ego can kick up a fuss over that one. Your concern for your client, your enthusiasm, and your questions are all so natural. What you learn from this will be what you can absorb in this moment.
