I have learned over these 5 weeks , that all human actions are fundamentally motivated by personal preservation and avoidance of pain.
Without ” sovereign power”, humans would exist in perpetual war against all, because their competing egoistic desires.
We all should focus on common good,” universal benevolence”, that we owe the world. I promise to treat myself with same benevolence, as I owe the world.
My personal growth is a necessary part of the world’s preservation.
As I watched the final video of week 5 about the equivalence of form, I felt a sense of understanding that is somewhat beyond words. You gave the example of the carpenter whose intention/blueprint is always felt in the table and chair he has built. I got a deep a-ha knowing about the equivalence of form from this example. I sense knowing/understanding/trusting the intention/blueprint of the creator is the key. I think about Bereshit in  Genesis, and the repetition of the words about God creating the world “and God saw that it was good.” Again words are limited, yet I felt an understanding.
