This reveals the potency of the inward way, the surrender of the ego to a transcendent Force which can create throughthe person vivid manifestations of the Will of God. Epstein also brings up insights taught by his friend and teacher Ram Dass in his book, including that it is also a mistake to try to get rid of unwanted parts of ourselves in an attempt to gain greater freedom.
