This session emphasized the foundational principle that God was creating each moment dynamically rather than having created everything long ago and left souls to navigate through predetermined lifetimes. Bartholomew stressed that in every moment, all actions - seeing, breathing, speaking, hearing, moving - are motivated and propelled by the divine source itself. This understanding was meant to help students relax their ego's exhausting belief that it was responsible for managing and controlling all aspects of life, when in reality something far more magnificent is orchestrating everything from moment to moment.

The teaching used the metaphor of a child in a car's back seat with a plastic steering wheel, believing he is driving while completely unaware of the actual driver in front and the engine powering the vehicle. Bartholomew challenged students to examine whether they actually know how to do any of the things they claim to be doing - creating dreams, falling into deep sleep, breathing, or even thinking. This inquiry was designed to cultivate what he called "wonderful humility" - the recognition of complete ignorance about how anything actually functions, which would then allow space for the real power to reveal itself.

The session addressed the paradox that one's yearning for God is actually God's yearning for God - not some separate ego seeking an external deity, but divine Consciousness calling itself into greater intimacy. This understanding dissolves the apparent separation between seeker and sought, revealing that the very desire for awakening is evidence of the divine presence already stirring within. Bartholomew encouraged students to cultivate this yearning to the point where it becomes more compelling than any other activity or pursuit.

A central theme involved the "awakening of ignorance" as the pathway to truth. Rather than trying to accumulate spiritual knowledge or maintain an image of wisdom, students were encouraged to embrace the liberating admission of "I don't know" in every area of life. This isn't intellectual humility but a lived recognition that the ego-mind's constant strategizing and knowing is actually the primary obstacle to genuine understanding. The relief of admitting complete ignorance creates space for authentic guidance to emerge from a deeper source.

The practical instruction focused on moment-to-moment surrender through the phrase "I don't know, show me" - not as a mental exercise but as a genuine dropping into unknowing. This has to be practiced repeatedly since thoughts will inevitably return, but gradually students will discover that activities can be accomplished without the ego's sense of personal doership. Bartholomew explained that the doing will get done without them doing it, allowing them to "let go of the steering wheel and enjoy the view" of life unfolding through divine intelligence rather than personal effort.

The session addressed common spiritual traps, particularly the ego's tendency to create new identities around being a "seeker" or "finder" rather than simply recognizing what is already present. Bartholomew declared that this is the optimal time in human history for spontaneous awakening, predicting that more people would "combust into knowing" in the next ten years than in the previous ten thousand years. The urgency isn't manufactured pressure but recognition that all the paths and teachers ultimately served to demonstrate that external seeking didn't work, leading to the final surrender into immediate presence.

Bartholomew concluded by addressing practical concerns about whether working on personal issues like childhood trauma was valuable or merely another form of seeking. While not dismissing therapeutic work, he pointed out that even successful problem-solving creates a cycle of new problems to solve, and that the actual relief comes from stopping the effort rather than achieving the solution. The deeper invitation is to discover in the midst of any difficulty - including psychological pain - who is aware of the experience, since this awareness itself is the unchanging truth being sought beneath all the changing circumstances of personal history and healing.
