Boyle details the final steps of the CLEANSE process: A (Act/Visualize), N (Nurture), S (Surrender), and E (Ease). She explains how visualization helps clear triggers based on visual memory, replacing patterns of attack with listening or presence. The process concludes with "Ease," which represents returning to a state of pure love and full emotional integration.

Nic Askew challenges the popular concept of "holding space," arguing that space is already present and does not require active effort to maintain. He describes his work as the "absence of action," where liberation comes from not trying to serve, help, or push the other person. This state of "bristling unbridled presence" is presented as an alternative to the constant human drive to do and achieve.

Nic Askew posits that information and purpose are pulled down from "the ether" and that humans often get in the way of this flow. He shares a provocative poem questioning what a person's sense of God or self would be if no one had ever told them a single word about either. This leads to a discussion on living a life that is lived "through" a person rather than "by" them, emphasizing a shift away from individual control.

Nic Askew emphasizes that belonging to the universe is unconditional and does not require learning, action, or a change in circumstances. He critiques the personal development industry for providing advice on what to "do" to achieve peace, whereas he believes peace comes from the recognition of what one already is. He describes a sense of surrender that allows everything to change without the individual forcing it.

Nic Askew clarifies that the writer they were discussing earlier was Sir Ken Robinson, author of "The Element." He then explains his latest project, "The Point of Us," and its associated community. The initiative is designed for people to experience connection and belonging through surrender, moving away from the "bullshit" of professional titles and the constant effort to feel "enough."
