0:11

if you're not falling in love with life, you're

0:14

doing it wrong

0:15

how to to fall

0:17

in love with reality or life

0:20

i see far, too many people disillusioned

0:22

with reality or life,

0:25

even amongst supposed

0:28

spiritual people i

0:29

i people spirituality,

0:32

getting involved with, psychedelics for meditation or

0:34

whatever going on spiritual and

0:36

they just actually rather than gaining

0:39

a zest for life, they lose

0:41

the zest for life

0:44

and this episode is about getting

0:47

you to reconnect with

0:49

the magic of life again the

0:52

zest and life is not

0:54

optional not just a luxury

0:57

this is essential for a living in good life

1:01

these days there's so much depression

1:03

nihilism cynicism inaction

1:07

going around so much feeling sorry for yourself

1:09

so much complaining and whining

1:12

and foaling then

1:14

you have to discipline

1:17

yourself to cut through all of this bullshit

1:19

this is human bullshit you

1:21

have to understand this is

1:23

not how you create a great

1:25

life for yourself and

1:28

if you're not increasing

1:30

your zest for life as you're doing

1:33

this work and by this work i mean self

1:35

help personal development spirituality

1:39

whatever you want to call it whatever

1:41

you're doing of us are increasingly zest for

1:44

life then you have to change you're doing

1:46

it wrong

1:50

it's a bit tricky in counterintuitive because

1:53

we get on this self

1:56

development treadmill of trying to improve ourselves

1:58

whether you're improving your funny from situation

2:00

or your relationships or your

2:03

self esteem or whatever your

2:06

ability to meditate you try to improve that

2:08

but you get so caught up in

2:11

getting into this the development rat

2:13

race that it

2:15

actually robs you of the zest for life

2:17

that you had when you were younger when you

2:19

work closely thinking about all this stuff

2:23

and there's a certain pressure that person

2:25

doesn't put upon you and spiritual development

2:28

a lot of pressures put upon you to

2:30

you know to act in a saintly ways

2:32

to be loving towards people to not

2:34

get angry to not be sad

2:37

to not have suffering all the sorta

2:39

stuff right

2:42

and then especially as your you

2:44

know the first let's say five years of of

2:46

this work that you're going to do maybe

2:48

even ten years of this work the

2:52

a place a burden on you that

2:54

normal people nor me says

2:56

we call them that normally don't have people

2:59

who are not doing spiritual development we're not doing

3:01

person development current

3:03

what an actual eyes their full potential life is

3:05

says they have a much easier life they're

3:08

in a certain sensors a sort of us are naive

3:10

ignorance and almost

3:12

zest for life that can just come from living

3:14

life mindlessly well you're

3:17

robbing yourself of that if you're on

3:20

his journey with me towards self actualization

3:23

right but look

3:26

if you could just immediately start improving your

3:28

life everybody

3:31

would be into marshall develop into

3:33

spirituality yes

3:35

there's going to be in initial upfront

3:37

cost sort

3:40

of a hobby have to go through the

3:42

for most of the payoffs com the

3:45

long term investment you're making yourself but

3:47

also what can happen as you can start to do

3:50

personal development as spirituality in such

3:52

a way worse you get like the wrong

3:54

idea of what personal development is about a what

3:56

spirituality about and

3:59

huh

3:59

the such a grind that

4:02

he becomes it's own source of

4:04

depression nihilism cynicism inaction

4:07

feeling sorry for yourself complaining about

4:09

life this kind of stuff

4:12

and i want you recognize that when whenever

4:14

this happens you weather's gonna happen to you now

4:16

are good avenue in ten years yet

4:19

attached herself and realize ah this

4:22

doesn't feel right in the reason it doesn't feel

4:24

right something like something's not quite

4:26

a lining in the weather i'm pursuing pearsall developer

4:28

spirituality it because

4:30

you got some bad ideas yep fantasies

4:33

about how to do person of of his spirituality and you get to

4:35

adjust those rights your initial ways

4:37

of doing percival been spirituality are

4:40

going to be rather leave

4:43

and misguided and maybe even ordered

4:45

a degrees the opposite of the way you will

4:48

be ultimately doing it the

4:50

get that kind of zest for life that you want that's

4:52

ultimately what this is about if this work is not

4:54

improving your life why are you doing it when

4:58

you see there's some tricks here because

5:02

you have to kind of upgrade your entire approach

5:05

towards life because it you enter

5:07

pearsall develop into spirituality with this attitude

5:09

of like what that

5:11

i'm gonna be a spot as playing video games right words

5:15

could be a fun watching all day which

5:17

this going to be as fun as smoking weed with my friends

5:19

and doing nothing or pigging out

5:21

on junk is going to be great, right?

5:23

except i'm going be improving my to no,

5:27

it's to be a a different

5:29

kind of satisfaction

5:31

fulfillment that you get i'm

5:34

doing person of of spirituality and you have to reach

5:36

frame your mental palette

5:38

so to speak the to retrain

5:40

it in a more mature sophisticated

5:43

manner

5:46

to be able to really

5:50

appreciate what person devolve into spirituality

5:52

will do for you and your life if

5:56

all you're chasing after his dopamine heads

5:59

rob

5:59

your

6:03

purple robe and spurs rallies are gonna give you too much

6:05

of that you can be disappointed

6:08

but that's ashley okay because

6:10

what you'll realize as part of this person

6:13

the velvet a spiritual growth process is that

6:15

these dopamine hits the you but addicted

6:17

to your whole life and that you have called happiness

6:20

that this is not what true happiness

6:22

is really about and it's not really what you want

6:24

out of life this is not how you create a great

6:26

life the fantasy you

6:28

have of the great life being

6:31

a constant never ending dopa

6:33

mean that you know treadmill the

6:37

ever greater spikes of dover mean

6:39

this this this itself as a fantasy

6:42

get the drop in going to be very glad that

6:44

you outgrow that

6:46

fantasy does that have

6:48

the itself these were keeping him stuck

6:50

and it's gonna create the depression

6:53

the nihilism the cynicism the

6:55

disillusionment with life

6:57

the

6:59

feeling sorry for yourself complaining right

7:01

because that's an unsustainable strategies

7:05

that going to really work so

7:07

here's what will work here's

7:10

what much sure living

7:12

really is like and is really what you want

7:14

to do in your life if you're young if you're like

7:17

in your teens or early twenties what

7:20

you want to do you want to transition yourself away

7:22

from the paradigm of

7:24

living life to way that most your friends and people

7:27

you know or what is shown to you in

7:29

social media and advertisements

7:32

all that approach to happiness until

7:34

living that is totally

7:36

new paradigm of living and i'm

7:38

going to give you a couple of a like core pillars

7:41

hear that you can use for the rest of your life right and the

7:43

quicker you can get to this mature way of living

7:45

just mature attitude a the

7:47

more fulfillment you'll get a life the

7:50

more successful have live in the more you will

7:52

love life and the longer you wait the

7:54

more disillusioned you will become with like okay so here's

7:56

the first pillar the first pillar

7:59

for how to fall in love with life or reality

8:01

is falling

8:03

in love with consciousness itself this

8:05

is the ultimate pillar some just gonna leave with

8:07

this

8:12

falling in love with consciousness itself what

8:16

of consciousness causes everything

8:18

it's everything you see around you the

8:20

this the colors the sounds

8:23

the sensations it's your entire field

8:25

of experience the

8:30

everything you can interact with in life it is

8:32

life itself right so we're

8:35

going to fall in love with life or with reality but

8:38

you're not falling a little consciousness then

8:41

how that ever going to work because life in reality

8:44

are courses so first it's going to help

8:46

for you to realize that life and reality our consciousness

8:48

of the have to wake into you know

8:51

have some awakenings the nature of consciousness

8:53

i've talked about that elsewhere but

8:55

but really look the

8:58

practice the practice

9:00

that you called the it's somewhat sure the

9:03

attitude towards life were

9:05

like you can just sit there

9:07

and look at your hand recognizing

9:10

it as consciousness a

9:12

figment of consciousness the

9:15

my episode called everything

9:20

his state of cause the say the conscious

9:22

everything else but i'd title but

9:25

like the ability like one of

9:27

the greatest things that i've gotten from all

9:29

of my is person twelve and spiritual work is

9:31

that i can sit here and just observes

9:35

consciousness whatever i'm looking at my hand

9:37

or the even a computer like

9:39

i can be looking at laptop

9:41

the

9:42

and just appreciate that my laptop

9:45

is made of consciousness and just sit there and marvel

9:47

at that fact

9:50

like immoral of the fact that my hands matter consciousness

9:54

i can appreciate the beauty and magic

9:56

of consciousness and

9:58

this sort of appreciation it gets overlooked

10:00

as we're going about our daily tasks what

10:04

if you're overlooking the the magic

10:06

of consciousness in a sense you're overlooking

10:09

the magic of life this is what are the reasons you've

10:11

lost the zest for life to disillusioned with life

10:14

because you to connect with spirit this the

10:16

spirit spirit is there's

10:19

not some sort of thing you find some so there are

10:21

other dimension spirit is here you have to

10:23

re re contextualize monday life

10:25

as spirit

10:29

that appreciated as such and

10:31

it gives you a subtle joy

10:34

and fulfillment that you won't get in

10:36

any other way you can't get it from any kind

10:38

of pleasure hi

10:43

no i'm going to keep talking about how to fall

10:45

in love with cautious this year to moment but let's

10:47

also introduced the other pillars that

10:50

are going to be a lot more down to earth for you guys the

10:52

odds last the core pillars the other sub

10:55

pillars here that's gonna help create

10:58

the great lie for you is you want

11:00

to fall in love with health right

11:03

about with health with

11:05

growth with learning with

11:07

investing in yourself with execution

11:10

consistent execution and with

11:12

creativity the

11:21

other pillars

11:24

though what we'll talk about those in

11:26

ithaca let's get back to what does that

11:28

mean to fall in love with consciousness the

11:31

bomb of unconscious as a cb connected to the

11:33

beauty and wonder of consciousness

11:39

if you're able to do that the power

11:41

of that do you see since everything is

11:43

conscious as if you're able to see the beauty

11:45

and wonder of any fragment

11:48

of consciousness or figment of consciousness then

11:51

you're basically that's can enable

11:53

you to then see the beauty and wonder of everything

11:55

around you the

11:57

every person of everything of every idea

12:04

this is an attitude you cultivate were

12:07

you really spend time

12:09

in your day just looking at the

12:11

with the consciousness that appreciating the for what they

12:13

are in the themselves not

12:16

for how you can use them to make money or whatever or to

12:18

get yourself the next dopamine hit the

12:20

just appreciate them up the appreciate the beauty

12:23

of

12:25

and then there's the actions

12:27

you can take in order to deliver

12:31

on your appreciation as a deep and your appreciation

12:34

of consciousness right i mean the most basic

12:36

actually we just sit there sort of meditate or

12:39

just marble at it see

12:41

something beautiful and appreciated

12:43

for what it is but

12:46

you can take that deeper you can study consciousness

12:49

you can see how it works you can explore consciousness

12:54

you can marvel at of in deeper ways

12:59

you could also use it to be creative you

13:02

can use it to inspire you have

13:04

you been inspired by somebody like a work of art

13:08

the let me speak to you are to sell their right now

13:10

artists designers creative types of

13:12

people

13:13

the

13:14

one of think that fuels you sound very creative sort

13:17

of person i'm one of the

13:19

things that i know fuels us

13:21

artists is that we

13:23

have that ability to see something beautiful

13:26

as and be inspired by that thing to

13:28

then create our own copies of it or

13:30

to create variations upon that that's

13:34

how it works for us artist you know we see something beautiful the

13:36

all i wanted to that's so cool as a cool

13:39

piece of reality i want to be able to replicate

13:41

that or i want to take that and recreate

13:43

it and take it to the next level whether it's

13:45

a piece of music a videogame

13:48

a movie that you see a graphic

13:50

design on graphic t shirt or

13:53

a painting whether

13:55

a modern water a classical one

13:59

and

14:01

what's happening there is that the

14:04

artist has the ability more

14:07

so than like the business percent

14:10

or some or like a factory worker to

14:13

the to see to

14:15

see the beauty and wonder

14:18

the artistry consciousness

14:22

yeah this isn't just limited to artists i mean like

14:25

intellectuals can do this to you can do this and flexible

14:27

matter and i read

14:29

lid of course beetle being both very artistic

14:31

myself very creative and also very intellectual

14:34

i think that to see for multiple perspectives but it's like for

14:38

the intellectual there's a sort of ah the

14:40

mental appreciation that we partake

14:43

in like if you're of the

14:46

doing mathematics you can see the beauty of mathematics

14:48

this is what like really drives great mathematicians

14:51

as the beauty of numbers the beauty of patters that

14:53

they find in numbers in geometry for example

14:55

or was fractals or with algebraic

14:58

equations whatever it might be for you the

15:01

any know with with scientists like biologists

15:04

and chemists you know they see beauty

15:06

in

15:08

molecular biology or

15:10

looking at a at cel under a microscope

15:13

and seeing you know if

15:16

design and all a little you

15:18

know article the molecules

15:21

floating around there the different

15:23

organelles of the salad how they work and studying

15:25

that stuff it's like you're studying

15:27

god that's really

15:30

what drives the fighters war

15:32

when you're looking at at the stars you're seeing stars

15:35

then you know if you become an astronomer

15:39

lord astrophysicists he knows because you look

15:41

up the night sky you wonder at that and you

15:43

think about you know how many stars are out

15:45

there how many billions and trillions of different stars

15:48

and galaxies and what kind of alien life can live

15:50

out there you know it it's it captures your imagination

15:52

spires you and if you're an engineer than

15:54

your inspired by the beauty of up

15:56

of mechanics mechanics

15:59

itself can be beauty well do you can look at some

16:01

years are some cogs you could look at a beautifully

16:04

designed screw aura

16:06

not nut or bolt or a circuit

16:08

board and that can you know fill you

16:10

with wonder and awe then you

16:12

want to create your own and you want to take it to

16:14

the next level the

16:17

suit you can pursue engineering or

16:19

science or academia or even

16:21

art in a very yolo

16:25

materialistic where were like you know yeah just gonna

16:28

i'm in a just engineer some gadget i'm an engineer

16:30

car i'm an engineer a computer

16:33

because it nice to fulfill some function and meet my bosses

16:35

deadline right so that i can

16:37

get my bills paid you can approach

16:39

engineering in that way you can approach academia

16:42

the same way was a yeah i got a shock to class and teach

16:44

a bunch of stupid kids you know some

16:46

rudimentary stuff about math

16:48

or science and then i go home and and

16:50

do my own thing right you could treated that way or

16:55

you could just treat our that way to was like you can show

16:57

up to us to notice some employers office

16:59

in an employer tells you what to draws for the

17:01

for their advertising campaigns you

17:03

draw it to they need it the

17:06

they big make a bunch of money they give you some of that

17:08

than and then you're done with your day's work

17:14

the you're not get have ever

17:16

fall in love with reality that way you're

17:19

just go through the motions you've made life mechanical

17:21

material you

17:24

rather have it's soul the not connected

17:26

in any deep way to the conscious

17:29

is it it's running all of life all these things

17:31

are consciousness the

17:33

the screws and gears in your mechanical

17:36

inventions his consciousness the computer

17:39

that your program enough consciousness the

17:42

advertisement that you're making and the

17:44

minds that it is influencing the millions of

17:46

mine's that it's influence a across the internet or

17:48

on television that's consciousness interacting

17:50

with consciousness when you're looking up at the stars

17:52

and you're studying astrophysics that's consciousness

17:55

when you're studying mathematics and logic

17:57

that's consciousness but we're not aware

17:59

of that then you're not really able to fall

18:01

in love with it as that

18:03

doubly as you could and

18:06

the more you become aware of how all of it is conscious

18:08

how all the interconnects the more odd

18:10

you will be by it and the more you will appreciate

18:13

and fall in love with reality because realities

18:15

of consciousness in different ways and

18:18

you can choose to fall in love with different aspects

18:20

of consciousness you something's will excite

18:22

you more than others that everything will be

18:24

equal in your eyes because your

18:26

best

18:27

nothing

18:30

the

18:31

what you can do is

18:33

you can use creativity

18:35

as a sort of a medium and a leverage

18:39

like a lever in order to deepen

18:41

your appreciation and connection

18:43

to consciousness

18:46

so like for me for example i used to be a

18:48

video game designer

18:50

ah

18:51

and the thing that inspired i wanted to

18:53

be a video games i do we have seven years old when i placement

18:56

played my first gameboy game the

18:59

real shitty all gameboy that uses this

19:01

to like this green moto moto

19:03

colored screen it was a new by

19:05

today's standards it was awful but back then

19:07

just seeing the pixels moving across the screen

19:10

that's absurd something in me and

19:12

what i recognized now you know in retrospect what

19:14

that cafferty me as liked the motion

19:16

graphics aspect of video

19:18

games the me i

19:21

just as a child i intuited

19:23

the beauty and wonder of that and really what

19:25

i connecting

19:28

with was the the motion graphic potential

19:30

of consciousness the and isn't

19:32

an end up and the potential there to use

19:34

these pixels to create

19:36

new worlds

19:37

that's an offense what in a video game development

19:39

is your you're creating new worlds that

19:42

couldn't exist otherwise you're literally playing god

19:44

creating world within consciousness using

19:47

you know very specific medium of pixels

19:50

on screen but

19:52

that's fundamentally what you're doing as ice i fell

19:54

in love with that

19:56

the

19:57

to me that wasn't just that all i was gonna create

19:59

a video game the it'll get a distraction

20:01

from being bored and life like no no no no

20:03

it was something very profound for me for

20:07

many people when they think about video games like i was just a toy

20:09

leo whilst you're so seriously why would you be interested

20:11

a video games they're just toys for children

20:15

like yeah you could see it that way if you choose

20:17

to that a shallow way to see it i never

20:19

saw that way at other people like

20:21

a business person might look at americans all that's that's a great

20:23

way to make a lot of money that guy or you could make us billion

20:26

dollar video game

20:29

and i never saw that way either to media

20:32

gives remember about making money

20:33

the

20:35

me video games were were dot connecting

20:37

to the deepest aspect of of reality been

20:39

able to the literally manifest

20:42

my own dreams and mean a world's

20:44

that i imagined and

20:46

then and in making it look beautiful with

20:48

with with motion graphics that

20:51

to me was amazing of a you're able to

20:53

create this interactive reality

20:55

like a dream like a virtual dream

20:58

that of pixels and you're able to make it as

21:00

beautiful as you want basically unlimited

21:03

especially these days in a graphic potential is almost

21:05

unlimited these days you can create almost any kind

21:07

of world you want you could pack it with whatever

21:09

tie creatures and people and wales

21:12

and environments and vehicles that you want and then

21:14

and then like any little lamb i

21:16

mean like says your imagination is the

21:18

limit when it comes to that you

21:20

you get to play god that

21:23

to me is what inspired me the

21:28

the be so passion about at our games see

21:32

that's it he was always spiritual

21:34

for me even though back that i didn't i didn't know

21:36

the word spiritual i didn't know what it meant i don't know how old

21:38

is connected now in retrospect it's obvious right

21:42

but how great would it have been if i

21:44

was conscious and explicit about this back

21:46

then it

21:49

would really help me that kind of see

21:51

where i'm going it and why why i

21:53

see things differently or people do it also why i'm

21:55

so passer about these things are not with how do you develop

21:57

passion for something right so you

21:59

can kind of like how to reverse engineer

22:01

how i became passion about life when i was

22:04

young i can reverse engineer that i can see the principles

22:06

behind it now i'm teaching you those principles this

22:08

isn't any to do with video games that you could do

22:10

this with like a set engineering computers

22:12

anything arts

22:14

whatever you want

22:16

it

22:17

it's one of the deepest joys you can get out of life

22:19

is being creative

22:30

because you are god in

22:33

got his creativity there's

22:35

a almost

22:37

the metaphysical joy that comes from being

22:40

creative when

22:42

you learn how to be creative in the railways and

22:45

lot of people are missing out on this creativity the

22:48

most humans on this planet or not tapping

22:50

into like even one percent of

22:53

their creative potential the

22:57

gross insult

23:00

to your nature as god

23:04

the i think that honestly i think that the

23:07

an enormous amount of people simply end

23:09

up killing themselves or being stuck

23:11

in depression or nihilism or cynicism

23:13

were just wasting their entire life simply

23:15

because nobody ever shows

23:17

them they are full creative potential

23:19

in how to actual eyes

23:24

we don't really teach our

23:27

children how to be creative if

23:30

they become creative it's only through their own

23:32

sort of intuitive efforts that

23:35

they do we don't have a rigorous process

23:37

for teaching people how to be creative

23:39

how to find their creative nice what

23:42

they want to be creative in all different way

23:44

the creativity can manifest itself

23:46

because like the news they created the average

23:48

person they think like all art

23:50

or painting but i'm not a painter

23:53

i'm not good at drawing the ever i'm not creative signal

23:55

says the store so many different ways to be creative

23:57

you can be creative in business in science

23:59

and

23:59

the madison in programming

24:03

in

24:04

communicating with people it's public

24:06

speaking there's in

24:08

in for number waste but to be creative and

24:10

then and into to develop your

24:12

capacity to be creative in some nice

24:19

this is not just a way to earn money

24:22

the largest a way to doodle auto you

24:24

know on a on a notebook

24:27

the entertain yourself when you're bored and class the

24:30

of to see for something much deeper this

24:33

is your way of connecting to

24:35

consciousness and falling in love with

24:37

consciousness

24:40

the your way of honoring

24:45

appreciating consciousness when

24:47

you really appreciated son up just to marvel

24:49

at it with your eyes you want to participate

24:52

in it

24:54

you want to participate in creative process

25:01

and so

25:02

the more you you

25:04

search appreciate your life as

25:07

this work of consciousness this works of

25:09

art you start to see

25:11

the miracle of your life the

25:13

miracle being able to participate in

25:15

this beautiful wonders thing called consciousness

25:18

as mysterious thing called consciousness and

25:20

then

25:23

as you get in touch with the magic

25:25

of the divinity

25:27

of it you start to respect

25:30

and appreciate it and then you

25:32

want to devote and sacrifice your

25:34

life working on his behalf

25:38

that's when your life because meaningful

25:43

that's when you connect to life and then we are

25:45

to sacrifice and work towards that every single

25:47

day

25:51

that's

25:53

when each of your days becomes precious

25:58

come becomes meaningful in that it's that it's

26:00

a sacrifice you're making towards

26:03

the miracle of life

26:06

no

26:09

i want you to consider this added

26:11

to that i'm giving you right

26:13

here versus the sort a typical

26:15

attitude to have toward your life the

26:17

typical add to that your parents or your your

26:19

friends or coworkers have towards your life

26:22

with are just wake up then

26:24

they're just

26:25

running around

26:27

doing the rat race stuff the gotta do like doing

26:29

their chores paying their bills doing with

26:31

the boss told them to do that

26:34

kind of stuff very

26:36

notice how different these allergies are like very

26:39

very disconnected from the beauty the wonder

26:41

the divinity the mirror the the miraculous

26:43

natured the mystery of consciousness by conscious

26:46

has nothing to do with beats with the with the

26:48

sort of attitude of just can like going to your day

26:50

paying your bills earning some money

26:54

doing your chores

26:56

yeah that's why you become disillusioned with

26:58

like that's why you become depressed the what

27:01

joy can there be how can you love life

27:03

when you live that way

27:07

you just jumping through hoops basically

27:10

utilitarian hoops avoiding

27:13

suffering and pain try to minimize your suffering

27:18

try to minimize people yelling at you for failing

27:21

to do your job daily to show

27:23

up on time this

27:26

is not a positive constructive way to live this is that

27:28

this is like you're you're just living along

27:31

the path of least resistance like

27:36

you're going to school to do your homework so that

27:38

your parents don't yell at you kind of thing or

27:41

you're just doing the bare minimum at a at your job

27:43

so your boss is and fire you sorta thing

27:46

so that you can your

27:48

bills come home at night and just

27:51

eat some junk food and watch some netflix and

27:53

then do it all over again the next day this

27:57

is if you going to live a life like

27:59

that you might the will not live at all

28:03

you're wasting your life and deep down

28:05

in your soul in your spirits so

28:08

to speak you feel that

28:10

you know that you're living way below your full

28:12

potential and

28:14

you should be unsatisfied

28:18

with that huddlestone that's

28:20

a signal that your spirit is

28:22

sending to you that you've to be able

28:24

to decode and realized like ah yeah okay

28:26

i'm not living in a line with my highest

28:29

values i'm

28:32

not looking at my age i'm

28:35

not in touch with the miracle of life

28:37

in existence and then yes and then you start to wonder

28:39

like what what is the meaning of all this

28:41

leo i was even born why was that god

28:44

such a bastard you know put me here

28:47

what had a god who treats oblivious

28:55

the amazing thing about life is that

28:57

you great get to construct your own life

29:00

that's what makes life so amazing

29:04

if you don't participate

29:07

in the construction of your life consciously

29:10

then it's like you're not living at all

29:14

then it can't be wonderful but

29:18

you take conscious control and

29:20

you realize that like you're in a sandbox yearly

29:22

infinite sandbox here you

29:24

can play around you can be creative you can you can

29:26

build whatever you want

29:30

no

29:34

it doesn't really matter what you build and

29:38

see if you're nihilistic you're gonna say will leo what

29:40

does it matter if i build this or if i go bad

29:43

all of it in the end you know in the end i'm

29:45

going to die and was gonna die the human race

29:47

going to die the sun

29:49

is going to engulf the earth and

29:51

as the whole universal going to heat death in

29:53

india what is it really matter what i create that's

29:56

exactly right it doesn't matter at all what you create

30:00

what what matters is how you live the

30:03

principles by which you live how

30:06

consciously you live how much you appreciate the

30:08

process

30:11

the honor with which you live so to

30:13

speak like

30:19

are you couldn't live with deliberate intention

30:22

are you would have a vision freeze are you to create

30:24

something out of your life from

30:26

scratch that's

30:29

really the opportunity that life is a fourteen

30:31

you

30:33

that's challenging taking that old is a huge

30:36

challenges difficult

30:40

it's a struggle it's not just your

30:43

positivity and and pleasure that you

30:45

get when you undertake this process it

30:48

requires serious work so

30:50

the question is why would you ever

30:52

do this work why not just coast

30:55

through life

30:58

and the answers very simple is

31:01

that if you decide to coaster life

31:04

the not deliberately challenge yourself the

31:09

work to honor

31:11

the miracle of consciousness of

31:14

wish you are a part there what's gonna happen

31:16

is by default you're gonna get disillusioned

31:18

the going to impassive you're gonna go

31:21

with the status quo of whatever everyone else

31:23

is doing around you you gonna join those the

31:25

herd of sheep walking

31:27

off a cliff around here which

31:29

is what society is you're

31:31

going to engage in dom petty shallow

31:34

animalistic behaviors you're

31:37

gonna pursued dopamine hits just

31:40

a hold you off you're going to be addicted to all

31:42

sorts of things from sex to food

31:44

to porn to a

31:47

the trolling people online who

31:50

watching hours and hours of tv and social

31:53

media perhaps

31:55

even worse things like hard drugs the

31:58

alcohol

32:04

and you're gonna slowly go down this

32:07

gradual downward

32:09

spiral

32:12

to the point where eventually you're gonna get so

32:14

stock that you're gonna sorta

32:17

seriously consider killing yourself

32:23

because it was no way to live life but but see

32:25

the that the problem is going

32:27

to be you're gonna you're gonna you gonna dig

32:30

yourself in such a deep hole you

32:32

could fail to invest in yourself and

32:34

to build up

32:35

to work

32:37

the know investing building of is

32:39

working in involves work you're going to miss

32:42

so many decades of worth that you could have done

32:44

to us really build up a beautiful as

32:46

you to piss away twenty thirty forty

32:48

years of your like not doing that that

32:51

by the time to get to the point where you realize oh shit

32:53

i should have been doing now what of what i do the

32:55

going to be too late the

32:58

new your soul can be so crushed by

33:00

the fact the voices so much of your life already

33:03

not having done that that the

33:06

could be easier for you decide to kill yourself

33:09

in many cases then it will be to

33:11

put yourself back on track and to use the remainder

33:13

of your life to actually build yourself

33:16

up and to

33:21

invest in yourself every

33:23

decade that goes by that you don't invest in

33:25

yourself that you piss away is

33:27

gonna be that it could be an order magic harder

33:29

for you to begin investing begin yourself

33:34

go see my episode about

33:39

the importance of investing years of it what was

33:42

it right title it as somebody of so

33:44

disheartening recall older titles

33:46

the

33:50

yeah it's like the

33:52

, of investing and so i would have the reason

33:55

it's harder to recall to that like multiple episodes about investing

33:57

that i have planned as , already

33:59

really the a few more that i want to release the such

34:01

an important topic

34:11

this is probably the greatest danger

34:13

of that exists in society today is to

34:15

become so complacent and

34:18

take your survival and your life so for granted

34:22

that you're just gonna do the bare minimum to

34:24

survive and outfit you're

34:26

not going to really live to thrive you're

34:29

not gonna challenge yourself you're

34:31

not gonna take on deliberate

34:34

challenges and to work extra hard

34:38

the build something beautiful the

34:47

really nothing

34:50

forcing you to do it no

34:52

one in society is is really beating

34:54

down your door telling you have to do this is

34:56

a something again one of the things i've talked about the

34:58

passwords like there's one of those

35:00

subtle things you have to like cultivate

35:03

within yourself if the have to have the vision want

35:05

to cultivated within yourself the

35:08

almost nobody else out there is gonna

35:12

how you to do this and to watch

35:14

you every single day doing it right this requires

35:16

consistent really daily

35:18

life a lifelong commitment to doing this on

35:20

a daily basis now

35:26

let's talk about the for the other pillars hear what

35:29

does it mean to fall in love with some this other stuff like

35:31

with health

35:34

with growth in investing

35:36

in yourself with learning with execution with

35:38

creativity well

35:40

let's talk about health for second

35:46

you could actually reprogram

35:48

your mind and shift your attitude

35:51

such that for example when

35:55

you go to the office and all the coworkers

35:57

they are are passing around up you know about

35:59

the box of free donuts that the boss

36:02

has brought in and

36:04

picking out on those you

36:06

might want to pick out on the on one of those dollars to

36:08

what you also know that your mind is not healthy for

36:11

it's a good for it's gonna be probably gonna feel bad after

36:13

you eat in an hour you're

36:15

probably regret it the next day so forth you

36:18

can feel

36:19

better

36:24

relinquishing that donor then

36:26

all your coworkers combined will fuel

36:28

eating that don't there's

36:31

a certain mature joy that comes

36:33

from renouncing something unhealthy

36:38

and conversely there is a certain joy that comes

36:40

from consuming something healthy help

36:43

as a value in and by help i don't just mean your physical

36:45

body or like to not

36:47

be fat i mean health in

36:50

that like in a in a spiritual way

36:52

really i mean it in in the in the deepest possible

36:54

sense of health

36:59

we we talk about health before and my episode about

37:01

whole is among holistic thinking part one part

37:03

to i gave you an equation part of

37:05

that equation of i talked about whole islam

37:08

health ceiling one

37:10

is unity love liberal that all that

37:12

kind of stuff made this master equation

37:14

i told you to write it down as important question well

37:17

bring back that concept here that

37:19

equation pleasant what i'm talking about here

37:21

because health

37:24

is really about whole islam and one this

37:26

it's about wanting to be holds up this

37:28

is a function of consciousness when when

37:31

cautious functions in a holistic intelligent

37:34

manner it's nature's to be healthy and

37:37

when consciousness is unhealthy like

37:40

up if you have a dysfunctional mind it's

37:42

a fragmented mind it's a conflicted mine

37:44

is fighting with itself that's what selfishness

37:47

ultimately is it's a conflict with and consciousness

37:51

it's distorted is corrupted i

37:54

sort of talking about the value of health the principle

37:56

of health here to

37:59

have added you to follow your was health is

38:01

not just too naughty

38:04

the donor because

38:08

you're not going to look like how you look in the mirror

38:10

because you gonna be too fat it goes

38:12

way deeper than that it's like know

38:17

five not healthy in

38:19

all the dimensions that health pertains

38:23

to then in a certain sense i'm disrespecting

38:26

life and disrespecting cautious and disrespecting

38:28

myself that i'm suspecting god that's

38:31

the level you want to take it and

38:33

we're talking about much just the food you put

38:35

in your body not just the way that you exercise

38:38

but also the

38:40

way you communicate with the people is that healthy

38:45

are your relationships healthy is

38:48

your mind healthy is the information

38:50

you're putting into your mana daily basis that healthy

38:52

or is that toxic and dysfunctional and corrupt

38:57

or the systems are participating in are they healthy

39:01

the company you work for is a healthy company was

39:03

a dysfunctional company that is a predatory

39:05

company that is to producing

39:07

a net negative impact on the world or

39:10

society the

39:13

this matters because if you're working

39:15

for a company that you don't believe in it's mission it's

39:17

purpose and doesn't allow your values

39:19

sense that lists

39:21

online it already is it a make you disillusioned

39:24

and depressed about life in subtle

39:26

ways the you may not fully appreciate for ten

39:28

twenty years

39:33

in see so when you cultivate this

39:35

attitude and like the joy

39:37

that comes from doing healthy things

39:41

this is it is as a sort of a a more holistic

39:43

approach the

39:46

problem like resemble losing weight when

39:49

most people will lose weight or likely okay give me

39:51

three quick steps for how to lose weight for

39:53

my wedding that's coming up this

39:57

is completely the wrong approach

40:02

the right approach to develop this attitude of

40:04

reference towards life and consciousness and

40:06

to yourself and your mind the point

40:09

where you don't a poisoned yourself with bad

40:11

food because you

40:13

see how this is good us damage

40:15

not just your body the short term it's gonna

40:17

damage your mind your brain your ability to sink

40:20

your ability to be creative your ability

40:23

to ultimately honor god and consciousness

40:25

you seats it's going to reduce your of a

40:27

bit ability to be mindful of the concentrated

40:29

to maintain focus

40:36

enough not endure so causes

40:38

of that that it's easy for you to say no to

40:40

the donor in that case you're

40:42

not even tempted in that case

40:46

because you would be losing your very

40:48

collection to life if you did that

40:52

that's the dept the attitude

40:54

you need to have to build an amazing life to

40:56

fall in love with life to

40:58

really see up see how much

41:00

your respecting yourself in this case and

41:02

how much your respecting consciousness look

41:05

towards respect yourself and for consciousness

41:08

air for the miracle of reality the

41:11

limit in such an artless

41:14

way the stuffing yourself like

41:16

a pig with donors just because your boss

41:18

brought them in the

41:21

reality of their free yeah but

41:23

like how little respect must do how

41:25

for yourself to to

41:27

to stop your mouth with poison that's

41:29

going to disrespect

41:31

the entire universe

41:32

that's because it's free or

41:35

conversely you could go to your you know

41:37

your local market and buy some you

41:39

know organic brute drinks healthy

41:42

fruit drink or some the

41:44

no fresh prince or some vegetables

41:47

or whatever or go do some

41:49

juice you get home you know yeah that's gonna

41:51

cost you a bit more is going to take more effort that

41:54

gonna be as popular as eating the doughnuts

41:56

with the friends edward

42:02

but seat when you go in you say

42:05

oh to the don't have the new go to the grocery store instead and you

42:07

drink a healthy salary juice or sub like

42:09

that it's that

42:12

you can there's a higher

42:14

level sure you can get out of that and

42:17

but that's not something that comes straight

42:19

from the salary who says that like you can drink that celery

42:21

do since people at all yeah it's like ours

42:24

is it's as good as good as know it's not

42:26

as good as a donor if all you're doing is

42:28

you're comparing by the the raw

42:30

pleasure of a donut versus the salary juice

42:33

but what you can do is you can program your

42:35

mind with this added to this is not

42:37

miss larger respects and purpose

42:40

you have in life that by fulfilling

42:42

on your purpose and by sacrificing

42:44

his honoree on behalf of this larger

42:47

purpose that connects with spirituality

42:51

you can get a a deeper hi sort

42:55

of a mental high a spiritual hide

42:57

from executing on those

42:59

healthy activities that you

43:01

know you need execute on versus

43:04

eating that don't at the pleasure in eating that one

43:06

don't

43:10

but that's something you want to create for yourself

43:12

using your mind deliberately consciously

43:16

the cause the thing with a donor is that the

43:19

donor you

43:21

can give it a donut to an idiot and

43:23

the to the idiot will still enjoys it's

43:25

taste because it just it is like a direct hit

43:28

on your you know close your

43:30

tongue receptors sort of

43:32

whereas

43:33

with the salary juice it doesn't work that way

43:36

it's not as center in fact when you're freaking salary

43:38

geocities little the gross so

43:41

why would you ever drink it well because

43:44

there's a higher overriding value of health

43:48

and what you're really getting pleasure from is

43:50

not in the salary choose what from

43:52

the health that you know

43:54

the cell reduces providing to you

43:57

but that requires x from mental construction

44:00

the

44:02

get to know what you're living forty have to have a

44:04

vision of health help

44:08

if a long term thing is so so much

44:10

broader thing than just the food you

44:12

eat and he would you

44:14

have a very high level

44:16

abstract the proper understanding

44:18

of health that isn't just based

44:21

on particular foods but

44:24

it's a sort of a whole attitude towards life

44:26

then

44:28

what you can do is you can create a sort of a synergy

44:31

like

44:32

the cell reduce you drink here said of the donut

44:34

that you could have eaten and then

44:36

you know the exercise you do the

44:38

yoga exercise may be you do instead of just sitting

44:40

on the couch all day or the computer

44:43

and then maybe the the healthy corporations

44:45

that you apply with your resume to vs

44:47

the unhealthy ones that you avoid and

44:49

so forth this all interconnects

44:52

together and then when you're executing

44:54

all up on all that successful eat this

44:56

gives you the deepest fulfillment you can get a life

45:00

this is real happiness

45:05

sustained you feel great about yourself you

45:07

feel great about your life you have high self esteem

45:09

you feel strong

45:13

you're living up to your own values you're

45:17

sabotaging yourself you're in

45:19

alignment your holistic

45:22

right to be holistic means that all the parts

45:24

of you are walking together in

45:26

a synergistic matter towards

45:29

some higher ultimate purpose

45:31

which let's say is in this case consciousness or

45:33

love

45:40

this is what makes life worthwhile

45:43

this what makes a meaningful

45:47

this will give you integrity in of integrity

45:51

is deeply related to the concept of hold us

45:54

integrity is wholeness the

45:57

lack of integrity is a fragmentation

45:59

of your mind

45:59

your life

46:02

when you're saying one thing but doing other thing lack

46:04

of integrity lack of consistency is

46:06

actually robbed you of mental energy makes you feel bad about

46:09

yourself you're

46:11

not living up to your own ideals

46:15

what does it mean to fall in love with growth

46:18

and investing in yourself the

46:20

means is one of the greatest joys of

46:22

my life is when i am

46:25

growing and doing something to grow myself

46:28

when i'm investing in myself you

46:31

can be big things we below things like just picking

46:33

up a book in reading a book that i know it's gonna

46:35

be good for me is going to give me the right kind of

46:37

information that i need to later

46:39

go on and you know do something like record

46:42

a video that will help many people thousands of people

46:44

the that an investment in myself

46:46

what i'm doing that

46:48

i'm not getting particularly like high levels

46:50

of in a peak pleasure for reading

46:52

a book but that that says

46:54

i'm investing into myself this

46:57

becomes very fulfilling especially

47:01

after you've built up over years

47:03

this kind of habit and you really build up a whole

47:05

reservoir rights when you just read one book it's

47:08

not a it's not a huge investment in yourself

47:11

you don't really feel it what what's amazing

47:13

is that the vision for me like division

47:16

of of reading five hundred

47:18

books and the kind of

47:23

neural network that that's going to develop in my mind

47:27

of information all the interconnection that i make between or

47:29

five hundred bucks that i'm gonna ultimately read i

47:31

mean that really

47:33

fulfilling invert really meaningful and and worthwhile

47:36

and it might take a couple of decades to

47:38

read five hundred books is incorrect them all that

47:40

way but if i do that that

47:43

is going to make me so fulfilled afghan employed so

47:45

much value to my life and allow me to then

47:47

provide that valued share with others that's

47:49

going to synergies what other aspects of of

47:53

my life you know those have hundred books i've read it could help me

47:55

to organize my own mind in a more

47:57

holistic integrated way

47:59

and i'm also read about health that up going to make me

48:02

better at nutrition that can be better him fitness

48:04

exercise gonna make you better at the kind of

48:06

work that i do my work is can be more healthy my communications

48:08

with people to be more healthy red sox the all

48:10

synergies us together in this is what creates

48:13

profound meaning in your life

48:14

and then after you execute or that for

48:16

decades that's when your life becomes amazing

48:25

how bout we talk about investing

48:27

years of growth so anything

48:29

you do in life that grows you even a little

48:32

bit you should get excited by that that

48:35

should be what you're doing like every morning your waking

48:37

up what's the thing of getting excited

48:39

is it just to go to work to punch

48:42

the clock no it should be

48:44

how are you gonna grow today in

48:46

whatever you're doing whether it's your your business

48:48

your your your your craft or skill your art

48:52

the in your relationships in

48:55

your friendships in your social skills

48:59

like lately i've been motivated a lot to be

49:01

going out of socializing a lot and but

49:04

i'm not just doing that just like for fun every

49:08

night that i go out my socialize like

49:10

i have intentions of how i want to grow hello

49:12

i want to get better i have a vision my mind of like where

49:14

i'm going to be in a few years or five

49:17

years by keep doing this keep investing might

49:19

social skills what it's gonna put me how

49:21

fulfilling of can be for me and simultaneously

49:25

seeing the bill phillips five years down the road

49:27

that i'll be getting when i achieve all this stuff

49:29

and build up i'm no massive

49:31

not a momentum

49:33

ended up myself a lot but also i'm getting

49:36

i'm also getting fulfillment from executing that

49:38

every single day now even

49:41

know if i just go out tonight i'm

49:44

not going to get all the benefits all get five years from now

49:46

but i'm an act like i'm going to be excited just to do

49:48

that because i can connect all those dots to go

49:50

i see how does like one that leads

49:52

to the next in my mind but i have to create

49:55

that in my mind

49:57

the

50:01

this is a living that like animals don't

50:04

do animals can do this humans

50:06

are capable of this

50:08

but the way most humans live most

50:10

humans live like animals were they're not

50:12

doing this because this has to be done deliberately

50:14

consciously at the planet out and get to execute

50:17

on

50:21

the next pillar is learning

50:24

we sort of talked about it with the book example but it

50:27

was also like overlapping with the an example of

50:29

investing in yourself but like learning

50:31

the

50:32

i have like three episodes that i release that

50:35

talk about learning learning his behavior

50:37

change

50:38

learning it equals

50:41

making distinctions

50:43

i have another what about learning i you forgot what was called

50:45

but like why do i focus so much on learning because

50:48

basically life your the quality of your

50:50

life all hinges upon

50:52

is your ability learn every

50:54

single day you should be learning in your life and

50:57

then i don't just mean through books and i don't just

51:00

mean through audio podcast

51:02

or something i mean these are the obvious

51:04

ways of learning but they're not even the highest

51:06

forms of learning the highest was of learning is when you put

51:09

yourself face to face with a probably

51:11

f assault and experience

51:13

a problem we are facing and

51:16

exposing yourself to new experiences of some kind

51:19

that's when you really learn

51:21

the you undertaken typical project

51:23

you commit to accomplishing it no

51:26

matter what that's when your biggest learn he will happen

51:29

whether that's what your social skills with your dating

51:31

life with your sex life with your business

51:34

with your art skills with you're speaking

51:36

skills with your relationship skills whatever that

51:38

is you can be learning on all these

51:40

fronts every single day then

51:42

you can be doing it

51:44

this sort of haphazardly by accident where

51:46

most people do or you could would deliberately

51:48

when you undertake the process deliberately that's

51:51

when things become exciting you're not

51:53

just going to work just to or

51:55

to paycheck or to accomplish some project

51:57

you're going to work primarily to learn how

52:00

to get better at whatever work you're doing

52:05

and likewise in your relationships your relationship

52:07

is not just about expressing sex from somebody

52:10

anymore and it's what it's about being comfortable

52:12

with them and having a good time

52:15

the

52:16

you know vegging out on the on the couch and

52:19

watch netflix

52:21

now it's about learning together

52:24

learning how to be better in relationships together

52:26

such that even if this particular relationship and

52:30

and collapses which most of them do the

52:32

honest

52:34

you're still left with something you're

52:36

left with the lessons that you learned

52:38

about how do we would be better nicer

52:41

than the definitely should you enter into you're gonna be a

52:43

little better in then you gotta keep

52:45

doing that and doing that a doing that it until eventually

52:47

you learn how to do really good

52:49

conscious relationships

52:55

the poll numbers learning

52:58

an enormous sunk

53:00

of my life's meaning constant reform

53:03

simply from my love of learning

53:05

i love learning

53:07

i love learning about how the

53:09

world works how consciousness works

53:12

all learning your ultimately doing is that

53:15

exploration of consciousness you're learning

53:17

about various aspects of consciousness even

53:21

on your layout relationships your fundamental learning about

53:23

consciousness you'll learn about different points of view

53:25

for example in relationships

53:32

but even if you're learning to draw your learning about consciousness

53:35

if you're learning to make music you're learning about consciousness you're

53:37

just not really aware of that yet

53:42

so if your life lacks meaning

53:44

how bout you undertake a deliberate

53:47

learning process

53:51

every single day the rest

53:53

your life that will quickly

53:55

and lot of meet your life

53:58

the next pillars actually

53:59

use

54:00

the big one at a a lot you guys are lacking

54:02

this honestly

54:04

the i've been talking about a lot of advanced

54:06

metaphysical at the some illogical philosophical

54:08

sorts of topics spiritual topic

54:10

the the biggest problem here

54:12

is that you guys love to mentally masturbate about

54:14

this stuff the last buys about it in

54:16

your armchair in the don't actually execute

54:18

anything and then you actually will use this as a way

54:21

to spiritually bypass

54:23

becoming and execute realize i've

54:25

been to be guilty this myself adding as a sort of naturalist

54:29

we're learning spirituality

54:31

the in the first eighty five years that you're getting into

54:33

spirituality

54:36

l a lot of teachers and traditions they'll tell

54:38

you to like stop pursuing materialistic

54:40

goals and stop hearing

54:43

about work summer such a about result summer

54:45

associate on sit there and meditate that kind of thing

54:48

then you even combat execution

54:53

and then and then and then like you are you could actually

54:55

tell yourself you becoming more spiritual but

54:57

then you're execution is waning

54:59

your capacity to execute is waiting and then actually

55:02

your self esteem is dropping at the same time and

55:04

the results happening says have a self esteem

55:06

is called self worth your have a self esteem is called

55:08

self efficacy the advocacy

55:10

is your ability to go out there execute and

55:13

do the things you want to do that you know you need to do

55:16

that are healthy for you

55:17

that are aligned with your values

55:19

and so you can be easier

55:21

to kind of trick yourself to fall off track

55:23

with that

55:25

the one of the things that i've really realized

55:28

lately is that like

55:29

you can do all the spiritual stuff but you have

55:31

to maintain your ability to execute

55:34

otherwise your self esteem is gonna take the

55:36

result advocacy will take you're going to feel weak

55:41

we going to be afraid to go out into the world and just

55:43

do basic things because you been sitting

55:45

on the cushion for so long you've gotten comfortable with that

55:48

and now you're i even comfortable going out there and like

55:52

tackling some material challenge your

55:55

ability to execute

55:56

the huge

55:58

and there's a joy that from simply executing

56:01

consistent every single day execute execute

56:04

execute execute what i'm you execute you

56:06

do the task the you know you need to do to

56:08

create the kind of like that you envision yourself having

56:10

that's what execution means weathered reading

56:13

a book every day that you want to read or

56:15

whether it's going to work on time or

56:17

whether it's meditating every day

56:19

on time

56:22

where it's going out and socializing

56:26

or it's developing your sense of humor is going to the

56:28

gym whatever it is execute on that

56:30

as you do that you become stronger then

56:33

you feel more powerful you feel more capable

56:36

you don't feel like a weekly you don't feel like

56:38

life as this joyous thing that is oppressing

56:40

you

56:43

a lot of people who are stuck in depression and nihilism

56:45

they've been very poor execute years

56:47

to the point where it's like they're in a state of learned helplessness

56:50

their of victim they

56:52

can't even do the basic things of like picking

56:54

up a book and reading it for thirty minutes

56:56

or

56:57

a month straight they can't do that

57:02

what awakening will there be what

57:04

spirituality would there be what what

57:06

love for life will there be if you can't

57:09

even pick up a book and read

57:10

thirty minutes thirty days

57:12

straight

57:13

and be consistent with that

57:15

the

57:21

there's a joy that comes from building this kind

57:23

of discipline then again

57:26

if is not the kind of joy that just kind alike

57:28

that would getting a donut kind of joy

57:33

it's a joy of decreed in your own mind

57:35

it's it's a it's a more abstract kind of joy

57:37

that nice to be constructed words like

57:41

the first week that you execute consistently

57:45

you're not going to feel that great cause like you're building

57:47

a new habit but that after like a month

57:49

of executed consistently consists of this release you

57:51

feel great every new day that comes like

57:53

yeah want to i want to maintain my streak

57:55

of execution and then you see

57:58

how that executions invest

57:59

then slowly in your life building you up growing

58:02

use me more healthy to help

58:04

you to learn

58:06

honoring the

58:08

justice your high commitment in his

58:10

life

58:13

respect your old self and your life into the miracle

58:16

that existed

58:18

the

58:20

over time that snowballs

58:23

then you can build that up in your mind where you get a deep

58:25

satisfaction out of that

58:33

for the alternative is don't do that and and

58:35

been be lazy be a slob

58:39

be depressed and also have

58:41

nothing in your life to show for it

58:45

you're not going to have the money you're not going to

58:47

have sex

58:48

you know can have the intimacy that the had the friendship

58:50

should have a social connections you're not going to have this

58:53

skills the work skills you have a good

58:55

career and

58:57

then you're like truly isn't worth living anymore

58:59

at that point if that goes on for too long

59:02

the

59:06

the other killers creativity i sorta

59:08

tackled this when i was talking about

59:10

the first pillar of honoring consciousness

59:14

but

59:15

i think for you to practically be

59:18

fulfilled in life you gotta be creative in some

59:20

capacity in

59:22

is really what talk about your work here you're

59:24

going to be living on purpose are

59:27

that see my life purpose course

59:29

where i talk about how to find your life purpose

59:32

how to find your values

59:34

and all that sort of stuff and then how to stay on

59:36

track with that of how to be created with that

59:42

these are the meat and

59:44

potatoes that make for a fulfilling

59:47

beautiful meaningful life

59:52

and everything else is basically just distraction

59:55

and petty human bullshit

59:57

the very careful with this petty soon

59:59

the bullshit

1:00:01

i want you to get very good at identifying it when is

1:00:03

happening around you and when you're engaging

1:00:05

in it what i mean by petty human

1:00:08

bullshit

1:00:10

i mean pop culture stuff

1:00:12

i mean gossip i mean celebrity

1:00:14

news i mean it's all the social

1:00:16

games assumes play i

1:00:19

mean status i mean money

1:00:21

i mean sex addiction i

1:00:23

mean escapism i mean video games

1:00:26

politics chasing after

1:00:28

luxury items and food

1:00:33

this all etti human bullshit

1:00:36

none of it produces genuine

1:00:38

fulfillment of any kind

1:00:40

it's all temporary

1:00:44

it all comes and goes it's

1:00:46

very inconsistent

1:00:48

even if you do get it

1:00:50

it doesn't

1:00:51

the happiness from it doesn't last very long at all

1:00:54

and in fact oftentimes

1:00:56

it comes with a sort of depression and

1:00:58

disappointment that comes after work even if you

1:01:00

will have these things

1:01:06

1:01:15

in pursuing that the pillars i gave you

1:01:17

1:01:21

falling in love with consciousness and honoring

1:01:24

of pursuing health and growth investing

1:01:51

do was will distract you with the

1:01:54

good at creating drama in distractions

1:03:27

the enticing you with with your cheap

1:03:29

thrills and things like this

1:03:33

the have to be disciplined enough your to have an aversion to

1:03:35

say no to all of that and just keep

1:03:37

going with your vision

1:03:38

you know you're positive creative vision of

1:03:41

the spiritual profound life we're going to build

1:03:43

for yourself over the next few decades

1:03:46

slowly day by day inch

1:03:48

by inch

1:03:53

that out seeing value long term

1:03:56

you see where the true value

1:03:59

life is

1:03:59

and you see through the shallow

1:04:02

stuff that seems like it as valuable

1:04:04

as actually fool's gold

1:04:06

petty human bullshit all that is fool's gold

1:04:09

you want to be going for the real gold

1:04:12

the real gold it can be the stuff you have

1:04:14

to sacrifice for and work for your

1:04:17

self consciously deliberately

1:04:19

intrinsically

1:04:21

motivated to do now

1:04:24

because somebody outside his tell you to do something

1:04:27

not because you saw something on tv in some advertising

1:04:30

because your friends are doing it

1:04:35

the i want you to notice that you are addicted to low consciousness

1:04:37

petty human bullshit and this robs

1:04:39

life of it's beauty for you you

1:04:42

are literally selling off your

1:04:44

future the

1:04:47

and your connection to spirit and to god

1:04:49

and to love and to beauty you're selling all

1:04:51

of that off for a cheap

1:04:54

quick hit of doberman

1:04:58

and you been doing this for years if

1:05:01

you're depressed

1:05:03

if you're stuck in life if you hate lies

1:05:05

if you're miserable this is why fundamentally

1:05:08

this is why

1:05:10

the what needs to happens you need to start to

1:05:13

develop an attitude of

1:05:15

investing into shoring up your fundamentals

1:05:22

the need a change

1:05:24

your attitude about the things you're doing

1:05:26

in your life

1:05:28

you want to connect with the joy of

1:05:30

say no to junk food and eating healthy

1:05:32

for example you want to connect with the joy

1:05:34

of being disciplined a doing your daily tasks

1:05:38

you want to connect with the joy of a productive

1:05:40

creative work day working on your

1:05:42

life purpose

1:05:44

the thing that most meaningful to you to create

1:05:46

in life

1:05:48

you want to

1:05:49

really enjoy around meditating rigorously

1:05:52

you want to create joy out of doing a ten

1:05:54

day solo meditation retreat

1:05:57

the neck with the joy of hitting the gym consistently

1:05:59

connect the joy of learning reading books

1:06:01

listening to podcasts and consuming high

1:06:03

quality information how

1:06:06

about connecting with the joy of contemplation

1:06:08

solitude sitting there for

1:06:10

hours contemplating your life integrating

1:06:13

deep insights you've had maybe from your

1:06:15

spiritual experiences

1:06:18

how about the joy of sitting that

1:06:20

was a notebook inches journaling or planning

1:06:22

out the next phase of your life in your development

1:06:24

like we are you growing where

1:06:26

you going to be in a few years sit downs

1:06:28

but the next few hours just contemplating that's

1:06:31

and enjoy that process and

1:06:33

that is fulfilling

1:06:35

life

1:06:36

why does not going to get any more fulfilling than that

1:06:39

that process itself i'm not tell you

1:06:41

that

1:06:42

you know when you're planning out your life

1:06:45

the did you will com five years from now

1:06:47

after your plan is executed not under a note

1:06:49

the joy is in the planning of your

1:06:51

life right now

1:06:53

then of course

1:06:54

when you do executed let's say in five years

1:06:56

there will also be some joy that comes from that too

1:07:00

what you're not going to be waiting five years to get that joints

1:07:02

you to connect with the joy of doing these

1:07:04

healthy activities right now the

1:07:07

joy isn't the reward

1:07:09

you get

1:07:10

they're being a good boy or a good girl for being healthy

1:07:13

not even the donut that's not that's not

1:07:15

the rewards the reward is the

1:07:17

healthy activity itself

1:07:19

the reward is the rejection of the donor

1:07:22

the

1:07:23

the reward is drinking a glass

1:07:25

of cel reduce that is the reward

1:07:28

that you actually ah bless not much of a reward did

1:07:32

we wire your entire mind and his reward

1:07:34

system

1:07:37

that in itself as the reward seats

1:07:40

to be able to rewire your whole mind

1:07:42

then it's reward system that in

1:07:44

itself can be a joy in can be rewarding

1:07:46

you see that but only

1:07:49

if you make it so

1:07:50

the party's gonna be you know super

1:07:52

thrilling automatically you after

1:07:56

i'm struck the a compelling vision of that isn't

1:07:58

be inspired by that in the

1:07:59

you're executing on that that will

1:08:02

give you your reward

1:08:07

connecting with the joy of deliberate practice

1:08:09

and training up skills have a few

1:08:11

videos in the past i've talked about the sauce in the like

1:08:14

purpose course

1:08:15

that deliberate practice we talked about that

1:08:17

a lot there either video call them

1:08:21

no success as possible without training

1:08:25

training training when you guys are missing training

1:08:28

i guarantee if you're depressed than you circuit

1:08:30

training and you haven't been investing in your training

1:08:32

of your skills that's one other means

1:08:34

you're depressed

1:08:36

how about there's a joy that comes from

1:08:38

doing that from training

1:08:40

get rid of subtle joy i'm sure

1:08:43

to that has to be built up if

1:08:45

to build momentum up in this over over

1:08:47

years and decades

1:08:50

how about the joy of date daily visualization

1:08:52

practice

1:08:56

you can get a lot of joy from visualizing effectively

1:09:00

which you guys are doing

1:09:03

i guarantee if you're depressed you know this

1:09:05

using visualization these techniques at all i

1:09:07

guarantee you

1:09:09

i mean actually i guarantee you are using

1:09:11

them but you're using them and in the sort of a

1:09:14

the unconscious negative manner indo in other

1:09:16

words you're just visualizing all the bad stuff in your life

1:09:18

and you're doing this completely unconsciously what

1:09:21

i mean by visualization training is

1:09:23

or practices like you're doing positive

1:09:25

visualization very deliberately consciously everyday

1:09:29

you're doing that if you're depressed

1:09:32

the joy of going out to the club

1:09:34

talking to girls

1:09:40

if you're a guy you're missing out on

1:09:42

his joy there's joy there's joy that can

1:09:44

be had there's just not i'm

1:09:46

not the joy of having sex i'm

1:09:49

not talking about the joys making out with the hot girl i'm

1:09:52

talking about the joy of getting your ass off

1:09:54

your couch into your fucking car

1:09:56

driving to the club

1:09:58

and then doing your first

1:09:59

watch that you really don't want to do

1:10:02

like jumping into call both the joy of doing that

1:10:06

that's a subtle joy that's not the same com

1:10:08

joys of of her of having sex

1:10:10

most people are so stuck on the joy having

1:10:12

sex that they just want that that

1:10:14

they can't see the joy of every

1:10:16

day consistently go to the club and doing

1:10:18

an approach doing your first hard approach

1:10:22

they miss that joy

1:10:26

and the only reason maybe they do the approaches because

1:10:29

they are tell themselves what's maybe i'll get me some sex

1:10:31

but actually the funny thing is

1:10:34

is that you can get more joy out of

1:10:36

doing a month of consistent

1:10:38

approaching then you will from

1:10:40

having sex

1:10:45

what you have to program your mind in the right way that

1:10:49

joy to to to happen for you

1:10:54

how about connecting with the joy of being on your edge

1:10:56

of being strong of facing your challenges

1:10:59

and fears

1:11:00

of not

1:11:02

avoiding them i'm not running away about procrastinating

1:11:05

on

1:11:07

the huge is a huge joyce there's a set

1:11:09

of power you get when you execute

1:11:12

consistently and you're on your edge

1:11:15

and you're facing challenges and fears

1:11:17

and you're doing it

1:11:19

on a regular basis and

1:11:22

even sometimes you fail at those challenges

1:11:24

still you don't give up and that

1:11:26

gives you joy to the joy of perseverance

1:11:29

in the face of failure

1:11:34

the

1:11:35

most of you who are depressed and nihilistic

1:11:38

disillusioned with life

1:11:39

your the opposite of this you get a little bit a challenge

1:11:41

a little bit of failure and immediately you go

1:11:43

into into this catastrophizing

1:11:46

negative thinking about asked his stock

1:11:48

at a work and i sail that oh my god what

1:11:50

am i gonna do ads are all this is bullshit

1:11:52

is also advises it doesn't work

1:11:57

you need mean exact opposite of that see you

1:11:59

the challenge you face your fears you fail and then

1:12:02

you get even more excited

1:12:03

now it's like i failed that

1:12:05

means there's a learning lesson here for me

1:12:08

that i could

1:12:09

improve upon

1:12:11

what books can i go read what coaches

1:12:13

can i go higher who can i talk to what

1:12:16

advice can i get that will help me to face this particular

1:12:18

challenge at overcome it's and to learn a lesson i need

1:12:20

to learn to be good at this challenge for the

1:12:22

rest of my life to to extinguish

1:12:24

the sphere forever

1:12:29

this is the attitude of a have a winner versus

1:12:31

a loser

1:12:35

how about connecting with the joy of difficult

1:12:38

trips

1:12:38

which i mean

1:12:40

you're like a dog excursions

1:12:43

you know a lot of people like

1:12:45

leo am i going have a bad trip here on this

1:12:47

chemical on that chemical or on this dos or

1:12:49

that doses like the

1:12:51

bigger question is why are you avoiding these

1:12:53

difficult trips why

1:12:56

can't you be strong enough to handle difficult trip

1:13:01

what can you even learn to enjoy difficult

1:13:03

trips because after all what is a difficult

1:13:06

trip

1:13:07

when you're tripping you're just exploring consciousness

1:13:09

you exploring your own mind

1:13:13

now course some trips can be so difficult they can

1:13:15

dramatize you so you want to go that far but

1:13:18

you know difficult trip just on the edge

1:13:20

of traumatizing you but not totally arm

1:13:22

you know shattering your mind has

1:13:24

enough and your ego ah

1:13:29

again

1:13:31

if you're on your at if you're living on your edge

1:13:34

then you have high salt advocacy you build

1:13:36

it been of don't building momentum you been executing

1:13:38

than like lately i've been almost

1:13:41

enjoying difficult trips like

1:13:44

wanting to challenge myself with the little trips to see

1:13:46

help you know how deep can i go

1:13:48

with consciousness what

1:13:50

can i handle what am i really made what's my full potential

1:13:54

that gives me a kind of joy the

1:13:56

high level joy

1:13:57

that most people are missing out on

1:14:02

so

1:14:03

these days when i go into a trip i can go into it with

1:14:05

like a lot of excitement

1:14:07

which is not to say i don't i

1:14:09

don't respect

1:14:11

the power of these chemicals i respected

1:14:13

very much and lately i've had has

1:14:17

had had difficult trip one of my most

1:14:19

of good trips ever but also

1:14:21

the

1:14:22

the

1:14:25

one of the was that grew me the most

1:14:30

the and

1:14:32

and when i came back from that trip

1:14:34

i'm like i feel i feel like to

1:14:36

stop i feel like i'm i'm on you know i

1:14:38

feel like i'm i'm more powerful

1:14:40

than ever when you go through

1:14:43

challenges like that you're more powerful than ever

1:14:45

it's it's one of the keys to life is

1:14:47

to take on deliberate challenges

1:14:51

because here's the thing

1:14:52

there's there's that life will challenge you no

1:14:54

matter what life is fucking

1:14:56

difficult

1:14:58

in like it's really fucking difficult

1:15:00

you know and like us the most difficult is

1:15:02

when

1:15:03

you don't have the intrinsic motivation

1:15:06

anymore to get out of bed in

1:15:08

the morning that's where like becomes actually the

1:15:10

most difficult as

1:15:12

long as you have your heart

1:15:14

your soul your spirits

1:15:16

those you're motivated intrinsically when

1:15:18

you're following your values and you're

1:15:20

doing things that are meaningful to you in life that

1:15:23

you really care about

1:15:24

and you're connected with life your connection

1:15:26

with its beauty and his majesty then

1:15:29

the difficulty will still be there you will still

1:15:31

face some really hard knocks

1:15:36

but

1:15:38

you will have the inner resources

1:15:40

the morale

1:15:42

the deal with them

1:15:46

but when you lose your morale

1:15:49

and you get depressed and you go into learned helplessness

1:15:51

and you you you become a victim and a complainer

1:15:55

in a loser

1:15:57

really nothing to nothing

1:15:59

the

1:16:02

go well in your life you can't feel

1:16:04

good about your life in that

1:16:07

situation

1:16:09

that's an inner game problem that needs to be fixed

1:16:19

the whether you undertake challenge or you

1:16:21

don't

1:16:22

you're gonna be challenged but when you

1:16:24

undertake challenge consciously the

1:16:27

challenge is meaningful for you whereas

1:16:30

when the challenge is not something you harshly choose

1:16:32

but it is foisted upon you just

1:16:34

by external circumstances then you

1:16:38

you're not going to be really motivated to deal with

1:16:40

the challenge and republican like avoiding the

1:16:42

challenge is going to be begrudging the challenge

1:16:45

the child will come your way to be like off why

1:16:47

did god put this challenged in front of me

1:16:49

and you're going to feel

1:16:51

resentful about it whereas if you undertake

1:16:53

it's a challenge consciously like youth

1:16:55

wake up tomorrow morning so you know what i'm gonna

1:16:57

run a mile today i'm going to run a

1:16:59

mile and ten minutes that's a challenge i said

1:17:02

to myself else is there any reason i have to know

1:17:05

am i going to die but i do it no is m

1:17:07

i could lose my job and don't know

1:17:09

am i gonna look really

1:17:12

the awesome and rebutted by do it no i'm

1:17:15

gonna lose ten pounds know the

1:17:17

why would i do what

1:17:21

fundamentally

1:17:23

because what else is there to do in life

1:17:26

what what is there to do

1:17:28

why are you here

1:17:34

are you here just to

1:17:36

they alive

1:17:37

physically

1:17:41

that's all you're here for then like you set the

1:17:43

bar so low that you see you

1:17:45

can't get inspired by anything

1:17:48

and we not inspired you're literally disconnected

1:17:50

from the spirit of life and then yeah

1:17:52

by definition you're depressed

1:17:54

everything is meaningless do

1:17:57

just what survival

1:18:00

meaningless if all you're doing is you're just putting

1:18:02

in power empty calories a deer bodies

1:18:04

to keep it going for one they and

1:18:07

then you repeat that the next day and the next dates

1:18:09

and the next day and that's all doing your whole life the

1:18:11

yeah and the where does that end it as it in

1:18:14

your death and that eventually all that was the your you

1:18:16

ask the question by on her deathbed schools that

1:18:18

all about why don't eat oldest at the towers were

1:18:20

all just to just to get to the point where i'm dead

1:18:22

will that was kind of pointless justice

1:18:26

exactly

1:18:30

super then you're like will watch what's the point of life the

1:18:33

only have to the point of why to build something

1:18:35

up to like gullible a billion dollars it's but

1:18:37

then i might have a bet bet i could wonder would watch but

1:18:40

the bible do not reach out and i can't see it with

1:18:42

me i'm gonna die i can use it all the that

1:18:44

was pointless to yes exactly

1:18:47

but then you're like whoa so then leo everything is pointless

1:18:50

to than i should do nothing no that's

1:18:52

wrong

1:18:54

what is it's pointless is to

1:18:57

construct your own point

1:19:00

by spreading challenges for yourself

1:19:02

and be creative and using that creativity

1:19:05

to connect with the beauty of consciousness

1:19:08

in the present moment that

1:19:16

that kind of conscious living

1:19:18

the is meaningful

1:19:21

and it has a point it is it's own

1:19:23

point it's not something you do

1:19:25

to get some reward in the afterlife it

1:19:27

is it's own reward

1:19:35

when you're doing art for art's

1:19:38

sake the joy the or gives

1:19:40

you the connection the spiritual

1:19:42

connection that it it creates between you and reality

1:19:45

is such that you don't even need to sell the

1:19:47

art

1:19:49

the selling of

1:19:51

the

1:19:51

irrelevant you've already got

1:19:53

your reward by doing

1:19:56

the we're matter of any by but he buys it or not

1:19:59

at that point

1:20:01

it up when the only purpose of selling it would

1:20:04

be either one to share of the beauty with

1:20:06

others which could be meaningful to you of courses

1:20:08

wealth or to get enough

1:20:11

money back from at resources back from it's the

1:20:13

see you could file that back easy to keep doing your

1:20:15

art the next day

1:20:17

your electric bills of

1:20:28

so you're going to be challenged either way

1:20:32

the

1:20:34

the would be a lot better if you

1:20:36

shows your challenges

1:20:39

rather than having them choose

1:20:41

you

1:20:44

the the secret to fulfill light his shoes challenges

1:20:47

that are aligned with her top values

1:20:51

that are gonna create for a meaningful challenges

1:20:54

that you accept willingly

1:20:57

there's there's a difference understand there's a difference

1:20:59

between like walking

1:21:01

down a dark alley at night

1:21:04

and getting mugged

1:21:05

why some hoodlums

1:21:07

getting into a street fight with them you didn't choose

1:21:10

the ira you're just walking you didn't want to

1:21:12

fight and they just kinda like sucker

1:21:14

punched you from behind in a dark alley

1:21:17

i don't feel so good that's not differ fulfilling

1:21:19

you're just surviving there

1:21:22

like an animal in that situation versus

1:21:24

for example tell yourself you know what i'm going to become

1:21:27

the world's best martial artist or boxer

1:21:30

and i'm going to enter a boxing ring know do i

1:21:32

have to enter boxing ring know i'm

1:21:35

going to die find don't enter boxing ring know

1:21:39

the even going to make me like from which to enter

1:21:41

boxing ring maybe it won't you know most boxers

1:21:44

are very rich

1:21:48

what i wouldn't i want to choose that kind of i

1:21:50

send out a challenge myself to just to be the best

1:21:52

boxer i can be

1:21:53

the new do that and as you do that you enter

1:21:55

the ring deliberately or have do what you do

1:21:57

it do it do it you doing it consciously

1:21:59

and when you're boxing in the ring consciously

1:22:02

of your own choice no one's holding a gun to

1:22:04

your head forcing you to be there that's

1:22:07

when you can fall in love with boxing

1:22:09

as an art

1:22:19

you're not doing it does he have to you're doing as

1:22:21

you want to and that's

1:22:23

intercept the definition of a fulfilling life

1:22:26

it added a live in which everything you're doing

1:22:28

is something you want to be doing not something

1:22:31

you have to be doing

1:22:34

the never had a life you would want

1:22:36

but the you have to earn that kind of life

1:22:40

that's kind of like takes work

1:22:45

you would think that that can like would be easy if

1:22:47

you just sit around and whisper for like things

1:22:49

to be magically met of us are too but that's not really that

1:22:51

what that kind of life and tales that kind

1:22:53

of life means like if you really wants to be

1:22:56

have to work for a sea of the sacrifice

1:22:58

for it for years to get it that's

1:23:00

the reality of living a life

1:23:02

where you're doing everything you want

1:23:06

it's not a life that you imagine of like off

1:23:08

i win the lottery i can just buy whatever i want north

1:23:18

how about connecting with the joy of building up

1:23:20

the infrastructure for your success i have an episode

1:23:22

called building up the infrastructure

1:23:26

for your success

1:23:30

go check that out

1:23:31

to me that's one of the joys of life

1:23:34

that i've been noticing i get a lot of fulfillment

1:23:36

from his

1:23:37

there's like and what i mean by infrastructures i

1:23:39

mean i mean like little things like for example

1:23:46

if i find a great new alarm clock

1:23:49

well on amazon

1:23:52

i get excited by that because in my

1:23:54

mind a much as buying a single our blog hi

1:23:57

my alarm clock and i'll be using like for the rest

1:23:59

the life that will help me to stay

1:24:02

on track with all my goals to wake up on

1:24:04

time shocked meetings on time to

1:24:06

meditate on time to do all these things that i don't

1:24:08

need to do their related to alarm clock

1:24:11

and timer

1:24:12

the could my food or time and if i find an alarm

1:24:14

clock that like optimize law that it it works really

1:24:16

beautifully a perfectly it also looks nice

1:24:18

if i find something like that and my bike tenet

1:24:21

i might buy ten of those things

1:24:23

put them all over my house rape and

1:24:25

to me that's like a little piece of infrastructure

1:24:27

that i've installed into my letters to the help me to stay

1:24:29

on track and do the things i need to do in of the rest

1:24:32

of my life thus high frame it in my own mind

1:24:35

it gives me a lot of meaning and fulfillment

1:24:38

just something as simple as stupid as that

1:24:47

then you know it also makes my life will that more productive

1:24:49

like point zero one percent more productive

1:24:52

because

1:24:53

how are you know little better alarm clock or something

1:24:57

how dot connecting with the joy of saying

1:25:00

no

1:25:01

saying no to toxic unhealthy

1:25:04

stuff

1:25:05

saying no to toxic food saying

1:25:07

no to toxic dysfunctional activities

1:25:10

with friends saying no to i'm

1:25:14

being unhealthy environments saying

1:25:16

no to

1:25:19

i'm healthy chemicals and

1:25:22

products and additives

1:25:26

they know to toxic

1:25:28

work or business stuff toxic

1:25:31

marketing stuff

1:25:33

saying no to toxic dysfunctional relationships

1:25:35

with no

1:25:36

there's a power you get from that

1:25:39

right

1:25:41

it can be hard to say nobody can also be easy

1:25:43

to say know once you build up that muscle

1:25:48

you want to get to the point where you respect yourself

1:25:50

and your own consciousness so much you respect

1:25:52

reality so much that you're not going

1:25:54

to compromise yourself for

1:25:56

some quick little bit of pleasure

1:25:58

some toxic on health

1:25:59

the thing you to say no and then you get pleasure

1:26:02

from say no

1:26:03

you get more pleasure from saying no than

1:26:06

you would from assuming that

1:26:08

toxic thing

1:26:19

lately i've i've been practicing this would girls because

1:26:21

i got to the nightclubs

1:26:23

for rallied girls

1:26:25

practice my social skills ah sometimes

1:26:28

in a nightclub it all meta like a really drunk girl

1:26:32

the

1:26:33

and as such think as a present the sort of on

1:26:36

you might say ethical moral dilemma it

1:26:38

really is really a test of integrity i

1:26:40

just like

1:26:43

okay she centimeters attracted if

1:26:46

i keep pushing there's a good this could lead to sex

1:26:50

the

1:26:51

the meal some easy sachs

1:26:53

should i capitalize on that

1:26:56

or should i say no i

1:26:59

could say no because of just the elixir like ottawa

1:27:02

the want to be

1:27:05

the on wanted to like boomerang on me in of she might

1:27:07

regret it then she might accuse me rape or something

1:27:09

like of course as an obvious reason not

1:27:11

to do some like that

1:27:13

but but lately

1:27:15

i sound like an even deeper

1:27:17

reason to say no and the even deeper

1:27:19

reason is like i'm just disgusted yeah like when

1:27:21

i see when i see it a grown a club is

1:27:23

too drunk why see people who just drink and

1:27:25

don't respect their own health and their own bodies

1:27:28

like i don't mind if somebody has a drinker to to

1:27:30

let loose that have club that's fine but like if

1:27:32

i see that the person is like that

1:27:34

the bitch will drinker

1:27:36

rex way too much gets way to ways

1:27:38

that just isn't becomes very sloppy the

1:27:41

and doesn't really respect their own

1:27:43

health their own consciousness or the consciousness

1:27:46

of of reality it's when i see that in a girl

1:27:48

it just makes me disgusted with

1:27:50

everyone have sex with her that one

1:27:52

and so the reason to say no is really

1:27:55

because not because i'm worried

1:27:57

of like will what what what will happen if i sleep

1:27:59

with her no the reason to say no is because

1:28:03

the

1:28:05

they just violates my own respect

1:28:07

for consciousness

1:28:14

and when i say no in that case it

1:28:16

makes me feel so good even though i

1:28:19

don't get the sex

1:28:23

me i'm i'm not going to say it's as pleasurable a sex

1:28:25

saying no is not going to be as pleasurable a sex

1:28:28

but you can kind of freak your own mind

1:28:30

you know again it's like reprogramming your

1:28:32

mental pallets such that the same

1:28:34

know the integrity maintaining your integrity

1:28:37

in that case

1:28:40

it gets it gets to the point where it's more

1:28:43

fulfilling to say know that it is too

1:28:45

engage in is kind of like low integrity

1:28:47

stuff

1:28:52

that's the kind of place you wanna train

1:28:54

yourself to get to

1:28:56

that's not easy to do

1:29:00

you can work on it

1:29:01

the brackets there

1:29:05

is a joy that you could get from staying on purpose

1:29:07

and on track with your life purpose but

1:29:09

for that first you gotta discover what your life purposes

1:29:11

for which you should see my life purpose course you

1:29:15

can connect with the joy of optimizing your health

1:29:18

your health just like sit down like there's

1:29:20

a joystick until you just sit down for the next hour with

1:29:22

a with a notebook and you should ask yourself

1:29:24

the question of the top of the page right you know how can

1:29:26

i optimize my health at every possible little way

1:29:29

and then make a list of all the possible ways you can optimize

1:29:31

your health just by generating that list already

1:29:33

you'll experience some level of joy

1:29:35

then when you start executing all those

1:29:38

you know

1:29:38

week after week

1:29:40

you know can be little things no one way or could optimized

1:29:42

my health is no by better shampoo

1:29:45

the more expensive organic i'd rather than like

1:29:47

the the cheap toxic chemical

1:29:50

tied that's one way or another way that i could

1:29:52

you know do more juice saying rather

1:29:55

than just eating processed foods such as another way another

1:29:57

way might be optimized my health is

1:29:59

to no

1:30:02

duel jog in the morning or just go for

1:30:04

a walk in the evening after my my

1:30:06

work is done that can be will extra

1:30:08

in a optimization for my health

1:30:10

the another way might be too

1:30:14

get more purified water like maybe

1:30:16

the water and pretty right now isn't the pious

1:30:18

quality maybe i can install some you know better

1:30:20

water filters that will optimize

1:30:22

my long term health you know you're

1:30:24

drinking that water every day it'll gallons

1:30:27

of it everyday for years

1:30:29

for decades it all adds up

1:30:31

maybe on the way to optimize your health as do some key lesson

1:30:34

heavy metal detox i have an episode about how

1:30:36

do you have a middle detox go check that out

1:30:38

maybe a little bit optimize your health is to read some books

1:30:40

about nutrition or about sickness

1:30:43

or maybe install a home gym or something like that

1:30:46

invest in a hundred that might be

1:30:48

a way to do the join

1:30:50

a yoga class that my beloved it red sox you

1:30:52

you make a list that as you do each one of those

1:30:54

you rather do them all at once thought this could

1:30:56

take you years to do them all but as

1:30:58

you check each one often do with this gives

1:31:00

you joy

1:31:05

if you were living a fulfilling life this is the cause

1:31:07

city would be doing this is healthy living

1:31:11

and you would get to such appointment imagined

1:31:13

doing this for ten twenty years so

1:31:16

consistently that eventually reach a

1:31:18

point where you're not even

1:31:20

lord in why

1:31:23

things like

1:31:24

go nuts and pizza and

1:31:26

beer and alcohol and

1:31:29

other kind of stupid shit like this

1:31:34

you're too busy optimizing

1:31:36

your life and your health

1:31:38

an honoring consciousness and connecting

1:31:40

with cut you too busy doing that to care

1:31:42

about this shallow petty see at rights

1:31:44

of which are doing is you're replacing the shallow

1:31:47

pleasures of life with the jeep

1:31:49

the joys of life and

1:31:52

you get at first when you start doing this if

1:31:55

you're gonna be sort of underwater in the sense

1:31:57

that

1:31:59

if you're going to see [unk]

1:31:59

you're sacrificing a lot of pleasure and you're not getting

1:32:02

a lot back in return immediately you

1:32:04

gonna be say no to some amazing pizza and

1:32:07

beer

1:32:08

what you're gonna be saying

1:32:10

yes to like some salary juice and some

1:32:13

jogging ago that's that's not a

1:32:15

really good frayed i feel like i'm losing and straight

1:32:17

i would have won if i selected the peace in the be

1:32:20

around the jogging in the salaries his rights but

1:32:22

as you keep

1:32:23

you know building apiece

1:32:25

more from in a spiritual joyce

1:32:28

the did the depths the

1:32:30

depths builds on itself and it

1:32:32

reaches the point where you reached a tipping points

1:32:34

and the shallow stuff now all the sudden it

1:32:37

doesn't fulfill you as much as the

1:32:39

as the deed stuff and that

1:32:41

is that inflection point is crucial to return your

1:32:43

life and then you keep pumping into it pumping into

1:32:46

it more and this equation completely

1:32:48

you know it completely sea salt and the other direction

1:32:51

and to the point where this stuff is just like it's

1:32:53

like like if you tell me right now leo

1:32:56

i'm hey you want to go shoot up some heroin

1:32:58

we got some amazing heroin you know

1:33:00

in the back alley let's go do some

1:33:02

the

1:33:04

for it if i hadn't spent twenty

1:33:07

years

1:33:08

investing in my life every single day really

1:33:10

building myself up build up my mind my

1:33:12

brain my body all the only building everything in my

1:33:14

knowledge with my life for the building

1:33:17

all the subs then

1:33:18

i have nothing to do i had nothing to lose right

1:33:21

that yet or maybe i would take you up on going

1:33:23

have sued him some heroin but when i have built

1:33:25

up so much

1:33:27

this other amazing stuff going on of my life

1:33:30

the appeal of going shooting a pair with her

1:33:32

in some back alley like they're sincere

1:33:34

appealed that zero

1:33:36

the actually to little bit funny actually there is some

1:33:38

appealed that because like at this point i

1:33:40

would be willing to shoot up heroin just the

1:33:43

experience to settle my consciousness just

1:33:45

purely from an exploration of consciousness perspective

1:33:48

and i bet you i could do not get addicted to it

1:33:51

the

1:33:53

the people who do get addicted to heroin is

1:33:55

not actually so much because the hero to so addicting

1:33:57

it's because they have nothing else going on in their life

1:34:00

that's really

1:34:01

that's that's one of the see discoveries

1:34:04

about addiction that we discovered the last

1:34:06

fifty years is that addiction is not really

1:34:08

about

1:34:09

the chemical itself you gonna

1:34:11

get yourself on on almost any chemical

1:34:14

including sugar caffeine and

1:34:16

sad and others salt and other things like that

1:34:18

i'm the the real

1:34:20

the that makes you an addict

1:34:23

his

1:34:24

the lack of these other deeper

1:34:27

fulfillment in life that you've cultivated

1:34:30

over a long periods have if you're missing those

1:34:33

then you got nothing else going for you that

1:34:35

it's extremely easy for you to become an attic

1:34:38

in that case you probably already are one

1:34:41

the only heroin for that

1:34:44

how about connecting with the joy

1:34:46

of exposing yourself to new experiences

1:34:48

by the way i

1:34:52

don't i don't recommend you to hairless as it's

1:34:54

even even for the cautious exploration aspects

1:34:57

i don't recommend you do it

1:34:59

the

1:35:00

you'll get a lot more out of psychedelic than you will at

1:35:02

heroin it'll be a lot safer the problem heroin is

1:35:04

that a lot of it these days is cut with sentinels

1:35:07

the uterus easily kill yourself through

1:35:09

a

1:35:10

the unknown fentanyl overdose

1:35:12

by consuming cut heroin so

1:35:14

very very bad idea that the other is why

1:35:16

wouldn't do heroin is because if like if i knew

1:35:18

was pure pure pure heroine which

1:35:20

he can't really know he says

1:35:22

if i knew it was pure for sure like from a lab

1:35:24

i will be i'll be fine to do it but

1:35:27

like i'm

1:35:28

what if you're just buying heroin

1:35:30

online or off the street somewhere it

1:35:33

just are very high laced with sentinel

1:35:35

are cut with sentinel and so

1:35:38

yeah it's like you're playing russian

1:35:40

roulette at that point the

1:35:43

only reason you be stupid enough to play with

1:35:45

that is because you have nothing else you built

how to generate it

1:37:36

how to create it with your life purpose on how to share

1:37:39

with others is is huge it's hugely rewarding

1:37:43

you actually have isn't all value relative

1:37:47

in the ultimate says yes

1:37:49

but still practically speaking

1:37:53

even if you're relativist you still have values you're

1:37:55

living by certain values

1:37:59

the and

1:37:59

certain values are gonna lead

1:38:02

to a more fulfilling life that other values so

you don't know how what matters

1:41:02

is that you know what you want

1:41:03

if any of these think that i'm talking about is

1:41:06

sounding appealing to use in a gets

1:41:08

you

1:41:09

the spires

1:41:11

and

1:41:13

it like a fire under your ass and

1:41:15

it wakes you up in the morning thinking about it and

1:41:17

it makes you gideon side and excited and you're

1:41:19

fascinated by the subject or whatever that's

1:41:22

enough that's that's all you need

1:41:25

that will automatically generate all the

1:41:27

action steps coming in the future you don't need to know

1:41:29

all the action steps to begin you don't need to

1:41:31

know how to do constantly strips just the

1:41:33

idea constellation of of if you like oh yeah that

1:41:35

sounds cool to meet great that

1:41:37

that's enough

1:41:41

you can wake up tomorrow and

1:41:43

go to google and type in conscious relationship and look for fucking

1:41:45

books on that shit where

1:41:47

are you can just sit down even more fundamental

1:41:49

than that sit down with a piece of paper and say you know

1:41:51

rather than waiting for leo to tell you how to do a constellation

1:41:54

of how bout you sit down for the next

1:41:56

hour with a notebook and you at the top

1:41:58

of the page you right

1:41:59

how do i practice conscious the

1:42:02

then you make a list of a hundred things you could do

1:42:07

the answers are inside of you you just

1:42:09

too lazy to sit down and extract them you

1:42:11

waiting for me to just like spoon feed you

1:42:13

this shit which is really

1:42:15

in itself not healthy how

1:42:20

about the joy of conscious leadership

1:42:23

the full topic i'll be covering soon as conscious leadership

1:42:28

there's a lot of joy and meaning you can gather

1:42:30

that

1:42:35

and what's cool about these topics like conscious relationship

1:42:37

or conscious leadership for example that's there's so

1:42:39

much depth to these things you could spill the next twenty

1:42:42

years

1:42:43

learning about conscious relationships

1:42:45

mastering that learning about conscious leadership

1:42:47

and mastering nat thing about how fulfilling

1:42:49

that would be

1:42:51

how meaningful that would be

1:42:54

how about the joy of simply become a more

1:42:56

selfless and loving we've talked

1:42:58

about that is basically been the purpose of life

1:43:01

the that many times already

1:43:03

around the videos

1:43:06

why don't you make that your life purpose

1:43:09

the become more selfless and more loving

1:43:13

i mean that right there is enough to create

1:43:15

deep meaning and i'm a

1:43:17

deep love for your life

1:43:21

and in general just how about the joy

1:43:24

of a life well lived

1:43:27

me and that's what we're really talking about and

1:43:29

look

1:43:31

there's no right or wrong here in

1:43:33

the sense of like i'm telling you what to do

1:43:36

or i'm trying to impose some of my definitions

1:43:38

of a good life on you it's just the like

1:43:41

whatever you yourself decide

1:43:43

is necessary to consider your life

1:43:45

well lived is what you should be doing

1:43:47

whatever that is

1:43:49

the others

1:43:50

more wise ways more foolish with to go about

1:43:52

that you know if you think that a life

1:43:54

well lived means a billion dollars in your bank account

1:43:57

on your deathbed

1:44:00

i mean by all means pursue that if if you

1:44:02

must but i also recognize that

1:44:04

that's pretty foolish pretty limited if

1:44:08

you don't recognize that now at some point you will maybe

1:44:10

on your deathbed

1:44:12

you'll realize why say that's limited

1:44:16

the things that i've generally outline for you

1:44:18

hear these things are rather unlimited

1:44:21

these are things you can pursue their healthy things

1:44:23

there are things you can spend years and decades try to master

1:44:26

and they will pay dividends in your life and you'll get

1:44:28

lot of fulfillment out of pursuing them

1:44:30

but also notice that these are

1:44:33

these are subtle mature

1:44:36

the always these are not he

1:44:39

robbed pleasure states in

1:44:42

a says you have to brainwash yourself into

1:44:44

these joys principles

1:44:47

values and ideals until

1:44:50

your mind is rewired enough

1:44:52

that sticks

1:44:54

and no one will do this work for you no

1:44:56

one will tell you to do this except

1:45:00

me maybe a few other people

1:45:02

out there who

1:45:05

are teaching this kind of stuff but generally speaking

1:45:07

nobody in society or and cultures gonna tell

1:45:09

you do this

1:45:14

though

1:45:15

now is the time for you to make a commitment

1:45:17

to unhook yourself from dopa me

1:45:27

and from chasing petty human bullshit

1:45:30

now's the time for you to consider

1:45:32

the to to commit to living a sober

1:45:34

life

1:45:35

and really everything up and talking about here

1:45:38

we could summarize as

1:45:41

the joy of sober living

1:45:47

imagine being so sober that

1:45:51

your hyper sober

1:45:54

your

1:45:55

conscious

1:45:57

the sobered as breaks out into a sort

1:45:59

of transcended

1:45:59

this

1:46:01

that's in a sense with spirituality is

1:46:04

that's what don't the best life possible is

1:46:07

the hindus my call this the thought fuck life

1:46:13

that means truth

1:46:16

that thought means like sober

1:46:18

in a certain sense whereas you

1:46:20

know as opposed to

1:46:22

the

1:46:24

them

1:46:26

rodgers they have rogers which is sort of like the

1:46:28

over excited over stimulated life

1:46:30

then they have was the other one they

1:46:32

have the other one where it's and i'm blanking

1:46:35

on the other the hindus have the third term

1:46:37

which is the kind of like the

1:46:40

corporate life the life where you're you're sleepy

1:46:42

it lazy and you you're depressed and

1:46:46

your gorging yourself on food these

1:46:48

are like the three these are known to like the three goodness

1:46:51

so i'm be are you want the thought the kind of

1:46:53

life name i say will leo but what

1:46:56

you're talking about like what you mean sober year and

1:46:58

you talk about psychedelic some stuff that's not so

1:47:00

that's not a sober life

1:47:03

actually

1:47:04

the use a psychedelic that i'm talking about in the way that

1:47:06

i use them

1:47:07

it is a sober life

1:47:09

though the notion of sobriety here are cultural

1:47:11

idea of sobriety is is kind of messed up

1:47:14

i'm not quite right

1:47:17

sober means that you're you're

1:47:20

really what a sober mean

1:47:22

sober means truthful really

1:47:25

that true

1:47:27

the

1:47:28

that were

1:47:31

sober means you're living in truth

1:47:34

and you are saying no

1:47:36

to all the petty human bullshit you're

1:47:38

saying no to all the addictions the

1:47:41

all the unhealthy on toxic stuff all

1:47:44

the stimulation the time like cheap shallow

1:47:46
