2:01

2:04

2:05
south africa question merit
2:08
even a story for us on the theme of earnest
2:11
mess
2:11
i do
2:13
and under tell it with as much fairly
2:16
and genuineness and i can muster the
2:19
pandemic my family and i took a lot of
2:21
walks especially right at the beginning of the pandemic like
2:23
that march when everything sit down and
2:25
outside seem relatively safe and
2:28
we had a couple of standard roots right we
2:30
could go right and then go up into the forest
2:32
of you go left and go down by the ocean that us that we
2:34
we were lucky live in a place that had lots of instant places
2:36
to walk and we got familiar with these routes
2:40
but as we started to emerge from a pandemic
2:42
and a pandemic change one of our roots one of
2:44
our favorite routes which went down by the beach the
2:47
result march bridge washed out
2:49
and they had to replace a bridge so
2:52
we were on a family walk and
2:55
the path was blocked you had to go , a
2:57
detour and i was walking
2:59
with sam and collect and can be
3:01
in danny they want a different direction
3:03
but sam had wanted to see like some
3:05
wildlife or something or he had seen like hinting
3:08
call off into the reads in one of the follow it so
3:10
i went with sand and we walk on this little detour
3:12
and the way the detour led the hookers
3:16
to this road which had a blind turns
3:18
and it's not a very busy road but ahead is blind
3:20
turn and there wasn't much of a shoulder and
3:22
i was thinking well maybe and maybe i should be
3:24
walking with a nine year old on the throne because
3:27
it's a road it doesn't have a lot of traffic i figured it
3:29
be okay but what i did as i walked as
3:31
close as i could to the side of the road and
3:33
i put them like up on
3:36
was basically like a berm like it was a the
3:38
raised around and i was homeless hand
3:40
and he was walk in there and i was walking just on the edge
3:42
of history i know was
3:44
little anxious because we're coming to this fifteen
3:47
or twenty foot section where we really couldn't see her
3:49
car was coming right and
3:52
sam i could tell was not loving not
3:55
being able to walk on flat pavement he was having to
3:57
walk on the uneven grass and rock
3:59
and when it's rose
4:01
bushes like putting out towards him or whatever right
4:04
and he said that how come you're walking down there and i'm locking
4:06
up here then
4:08
i think in the past when he was younger
4:10
i would have just said oh i don't know my very in
4:12
hundred and we we just talk about what he the characters
4:15
like whatever i would a deflected a question but he's nine
4:17
years old of older and i think of
4:19
imagine of imagine before because
4:22
i'm a priest like they see
4:24
me dealing with gas and people dying ally
4:26
insider said to him as like like nobody i
4:28
want your fair because i can really see their cars are coming
4:31
in if a car coming out of turn i don't
4:33
want you industry and he
4:35
said
4:36
that you're in history
4:37
how could you have yeah but
4:39
might have to keep you safe and so we're in a walk this way
4:42
and you know maybe next time he woke up this way but
4:44
i want you up on the side there and i'll lock down
4:46
here and he was like on
4:49
the what will happen if a car comes around the corner
4:51
you don't see as like well i mean hospital simeon
4:53
time i'll
4:55
jump in all try to jump out of away whatever idea don't
4:57
worry buddy i think roka and
5:00
then he looked on the ground
5:02
we wash your mother's is a
5:04
, into the corner but we're facing
5:07
the corner and he
5:09
was thinking
5:11
very carefully
5:13
thoughtfully and any said
5:16
with a lot of reflected in society said
5:19
read and
5:21
i'll be ok i said
5:24
our buddy are you worried about
5:26
me he says know i know the way home
5:28
from here
5:37
the swimming pool that sit through
5:39
this whole story about earnest about earnestness
5:41
is because family
5:44
will be earnest like what will become earnestness
5:46
as a difficult
5:48
having an attitude that is without
5:50
any kind of double mindedness like there's no
5:52
irony there's no cynicism it's
5:55
just what you genuinely seal
5:58
the less earnest response would have been
5:59
and if a something like
6:01
don't worry dad i'll be ok
6:04
mama take care of us will make it without you if
6:06
you know if you don't make a run this quarter but
6:08
on the inside feel like do like know need another
6:11
way home like home like know how to get home better the problem
6:13
he didn't suck with me first right but he
6:15
was just like fully earnest he was when he was looking down
6:17
thinking he was like other ago left ago right
6:20
straight right hum okay
6:22
i'm fine like that was that was all there
6:24
is habits and that's all he was communicating
6:26
to me and even the only thing
6:28
i expected to hear from him because of it's kind of single
6:31
mindedness net sincerity there
6:33
were no have thoughts or
6:36
unspoken france that
6:38
have a fairly earnest interaction
6:41
well this is why once him
6:45
what a perfect child
6:48
yeah
6:50
furthermore you think i've been said that is such
6:52
a wonderful definition of earnestness were
6:55
not only is there no sarcasm or cynicism
6:58
but there's there's and sad
7:00
nothing and said exactly right
7:02
the whole thought it is all
7:04
the same city like this around and
7:06
saying and sans
7:08
king's blues ends right leg
7:11
that was the that was
7:13
a hold of his thought to myself you know
7:16
i'll be able to get home and this is a knows
7:18
what that would mean that it's
7:21
i think it's a wonderful definitions
7:22
i think it is sort of also why we
7:24
adverb it often goes with earnest is like
7:26
childlike like a child like or nemesis because
7:29
children tend not to hold words back they don't they
7:31
don't have the kind of social constraints
7:33
where they think oh this person would not want to hear this part
7:35
of what i'm thinking if we were making
7:37
and this is what sandwich something and he said it
7:41
he wasn't going to take care of me in that moment he was
7:43
just like
7:44
don't worry dad was not like don't
7:46
worry we'd miss you it was i
7:48
know the way home and that's the really important thing important
7:50
thing situation as we round as blind turn
7:52
and don't lock up this way anymore the
7:57
never
7:58
yeah
7:59
in all earnest
7:59
the
8:01
the i would love to hear this chapter
8:04
the can
8:05
quite swiftly in paper
8:08
i can we
8:11
supposed to be thirty i
8:14
will earnestly try my best man
8:16
okay
8:17
can i got you
8:19
were you i'd appreciate that
8:20
on your mark defense
8:23
harry wakes up because his scars hurting
8:25
any china remembers a dream what's
8:27
more the more and that he can see
8:30
of room for my add weird point of view and
8:32
he's like who say talks about as my scars hurting
8:34
my don't want to worry dumbledore and i don't much
8:36
fun to borrow his father his dad and her
8:38
mine is gonna say the wrong thing and seven
8:40
or eight to serious because he's my my
8:43
favorite pen pal and i'm gonna be like a no
8:45
big deal that may scar her it's also it's
8:47
deadly struggling on is diane and
8:50
then and he we also get some reflections from
8:52
harry like two months ago the weasley time
8:54
where the credit
8:56
rob
8:58
that of it like that last sentence was have him
9:00
not that last i never thought you dislike
9:02
us had like a vista of seven seconds left
9:04
to use your like other say this nonsense
9:08
any you know
9:10
are you ready man to recap
9:13
yes that on
9:15
your mark get set go
9:18
the harry wake up in a scar is hurting and he's like
9:20
wise miss carter the last summer's got hurt voldemort was there
9:22
but olmert not year and he's like of the weight of
9:24
and i have a weird memories of like an old person
9:26
and people talking about up being
9:28
murdered and i can see the time as him
9:31
and ah and then he says who can
9:33
i tell about as i can tell her mind she say this and
9:35
she sent me go to dumbledore i can't tell them what are so what
9:37
made us had run and run as it does that matter
9:39
how his that's what everyone is apparent because we have to
9:41
appear in a series and then to ritalin a serious it unless
9:43
it's a when i want to tell them and ah
9:46
and then that that's the editor
9:49
the
9:52
yeah yeah
9:53
matt
9:55
one of the things it's really earnest in
9:58
this chapter is
9:59
the thought process that harry
10:02
as walking through an order to decide
10:05
to right to serious
10:06
that's interesting tell me more about about why you're saying
10:09
that like was earnest about the process i think the process
10:11
is really interesting or he goes he
10:13
tracks his way through these different important people in his
10:15
life and eventually ends up it's serious the
10:18
where do you see earnestness guiding that progression
10:20
wonder if we are able to be
10:23
more earnest sometimes while
10:25
and i silly sense because
10:27
he goes through and essentially
10:30
figures out that pitfalls of writing
10:32
each person and of able
10:34
to be honest with himself as
10:36
to why he doesn't wanna right
10:38
or money or my
10:39
you know that factor which is gonna say she's
10:42
gonna say he should reach out to dumbledore and he
10:44
doesn't want to reach out to double birth of these
10:46
embarrassed he doesn't want to
10:48
reach out to run because wrangled some mister weasley
10:50
and exactness embarrassment dang
10:53
and i think that the
10:55
front of other people were embarrassed that were embarrassed
10:58
rain so he would he would
11:00
tell ron and hermione and they would
11:02
encourage him the reach out you know to mister weasley
11:05
in dumbledore and he's sort of like
11:07
you know see i see
11:09
my billie doubling talk to them
11:12
but he he gets to
11:14
in isolation be like i don't want
11:16
that like that of her actually what i
11:18
want right now and i think
11:20
sit where all these like sort
11:22
of small earnest thoughts lead time the
11:25
most earnest that which is like i wish
11:27
i had a parent to the hawks tail
11:30
and not i think desert so earnest
11:32
is something that he
11:32
never say allowed to enter
11:34
and that's when the realization
11:37
pam about syria yeah
11:39
that's absolutely right i am part of our blessings really
11:41
great way to frame it which is that i think
11:43
possible arb confessions
11:46
are pro smoking sections or private ones are
11:48
more earnest and our public statements right because
11:50
we're by ourselves what's the point of having a double
11:52
meaning of your own inside your head that you're trying to hide from yourself
11:55
price and place like you do
11:57
in your head is t tie yourself what you really
11:59
samantha thoughts are not true or not the
12:02
right thoughts to have but you do i often
12:04
say what you really think in your own head and
12:06
that's your right that's what we track in
12:09
harry's mind as he's going to his progression of folks
12:11
to arrive at serious he
12:13
is having
12:15
this kind of furnace process of
12:17
reflection where he's like you to starts
12:20
was just like miss my friends a
12:22
friend is a officers kind of support you know who the great
12:24
friend for mine is great sense what would
12:26
her mighty say any he
12:28
knows or mighty pretty well i'm i think
12:30
had a pretty good guess it's as to what her mind
12:32
would say like his kind of imagination of what
12:34
our money would say sounds a lot like her
12:36
my knee and any advice to games
12:40
right i think about pretty good advice
12:42
if i should probably have followed right i
12:44
said lives but like says
12:47
so talking doubled or him and then he imagines okay
12:49
what would it be like to talk to them with or and then
12:51
is really honest with himself
12:52
right like it's very the tax described
12:55
a very briefly the even inside his
12:57
head the word sounded stupid that is the words
12:59
of his own kind of speech to
13:01
doubled all right he's like oh no that sounds too stupid
13:04
i want nominal respect me i have other
13:06
he has his expectations of me he be
13:08
honest about that and go with anything about
13:10
as other friend okay i'm on my other friend
13:14
an immigrant run would say that it it again
13:16
did a pretty good imitation of around response
13:18
and that makes him think about mister weasley but also
13:21
he knows he doesn't have a voice of in this weasley and that
13:23
takes into what i wanted a parent exactly what you
13:25
said vanessa and series of the causes
13:27
and he has top hat by
13:30
then he right serious this letter which
13:32
is full of the kind of double
13:34
mindedness that
13:37
it sounds like he was trying to avoid that he'd been avoiding
13:39
the thought process where he doesn't actually tell
13:41
serious what he actually wants or what he's
13:43
not scared of he hides information
13:45
from serious
13:47
after having gone through this very earnest process
13:49
reflection and coming to like the right answer
13:52
the for you can follow through with it and actually write
13:54
the earnest letter
13:56
that's a good question i don't know
13:58
someone to think out loud the refinery else
14:01
i was thinking in this chapter about
14:03
i want songs which is like a principal
14:06
musical term you
14:08
know we think as murray and sound
14:10
of music with you now she wants to
14:12
be confident we think of aerial
14:15
ray of like i want legs
14:17
to be on land sow wants
14:19
to be not in a provincial town
14:22
and , are all songs sung alone
14:24
on stage right and nine
14:27
you go and watch these characters try to
14:29
get these things and there is seem
14:32
about the purity of
14:33
the desire
14:35
and i think i did talk myself into
14:37
my answer i think syria's
14:39
embarrassed he doesn't
14:41
want doesn't want to thinks that he's we
14:44
and he he's also doesn't want serious
14:47
to know that he's treating him like a dad
14:50
right , think he's like a little ashamed
14:52
about how much this relationship means to happen
14:54
you know serious his letters are a little
14:57
conversational and light and
14:59
i think that we as adults know
15:02
that probably being on the run isn't all fun
15:04
and games and serious is trying
15:06
to make that seem better than it is for
15:08
harry sake and so i think areas trying
15:10
to do the same
15:10
danger
15:12
though i think some a very young age
15:14
we like know how to spin so
15:17
that people you
15:19
don't find out
15:19
earnest your wishes
15:22
he i think that's absolutely right i mean i wasn't sure about
15:24
the answer my question either which wire six
15:26
foot me when i was thinking was you
15:28
gave your answer is like harry want
15:30
a parent and serious isn't one the
15:33
hey i mean you know parents come in different
15:35
shapes and sizes way but like in an ideal
15:37
form it is a person that you feel like you can
15:39
show your weakness to and that you can say the hard
15:41
things to comfortably and i think
15:43
that he knows a series has potentiality
15:45
know that series has his relationship with his parents
15:48
but they haven't built the kind of trust we've
15:50
been at a time to do that around so like this
15:52
is the closest thing i have two parent this is a kind
15:54
of person i ought to right don't
15:57
actually has to write the thing i want to right because
15:59
you
15:59
not
16:00
that person i have
16:03
to write the thing that's that's not actually well
16:05
on say i to protect myself against all the things you
16:07
just name vanessa which is like i want him to think i'm
16:09
brave and one of the think i'm strong and want to think
16:11
i'm not worried about these things and so
16:14
i can't really be earnest about what i need to
16:16
ask of him because i most want him
16:18
to do is to have reception
16:21
of me which protects the relationship
16:23
as i see it now which , an ideal
16:25
relationship is now you have with an apparent
16:28
yeah which makes it really sad right because
16:30
because the end of the last book you feel like oh he has going
16:33
back to the doesn't he is that he has serious
16:35
he has this kind of this lifeline
16:37
to the memory of his parents percent new his parents
16:39
whose wants to be protective of him in
16:42
a parental way even though he's
16:44
on the run even though is not right there
16:46
these see like this these see
16:48
been thrown to harry and then and a second chapter
16:50
of before we see yeah but you know what
16:52
his pants so non serious can't fill
16:54
that role even if harry wants
16:57
him to any movies or cause a thing to that role for
16:59
him
16:59
yeah
17:00
the world that's preventing that right
17:02
not serious there's nothing that says
17:04
and harrier doing wrong that's where bad thing
17:06
that slick you pay for the summer together
17:09
he would be there by now
17:11
yeah
17:12
yeah
17:14
i will say that the
17:16
nine year old in my life she
17:19
does not like sharing houses feel
17:21
are you
17:22
are you have found that it trains
17:24
nice and a very strange
17:27
way see only will really
17:29
sarah how she's feeling with any of us when
17:31
she breaks down when she starts
17:34
crying smith and would
17:36
ever she starts crying part of me so
17:38
relieved because i'm like now we're gonna find
17:40
out what's been wrong for the last
17:42
however long fate she's been
17:45
upset for today is and she won't
17:47
collapse and like now
17:50
we can get be information from
17:52
her and not has been true
17:54
since uses the her you little and
17:56
i think that there's just something
17:59
human
17:59
about wanting to guard
18:02
that information that
18:04
vulnerable, ernest information,
18:07
harry is most vulnerable concern
18:10
about himself is that
18:12
people are going to think he's needy or
18:14
weak and unlike
18:17
that is the dursleys have raised him to
18:19
have the spheres and so of
18:21
course, he's afraid, you know, and
18:23
edited into this were like the
18:26
whole was the world's expectations around him, right?
18:28
like that was the yeah one of the dilemmas of the first book
18:30
which is like he's the boy who
18:32
lived and so he must be special and it's about to
18:34
be one of the problems in the spotlight he's the one that
18:36
somehow gets entered and that are and with the tournament because
18:39
he special and so he even if you didn't
18:41
choose that real from south it's been foisted
18:43
upon him and he feels the need to protect at how
18:46
many people's opinions of him depend upon that
18:48
sense of who he is right there you
18:51
know we we laughed when i told that story about sam
18:53
and it is neat right but it also
18:56
didn't hurt my feelings
18:58
have i am his parents and when i want
19:00
him to tell me is exactly what's going on in his head
19:03
present his job his not to protect me
19:05
or protect them image of who he ought
19:07
to be to be are always wanted to
19:09
be i know that's not always the way the printer relationships work
19:11
right and so i see why when there is
19:13
an absolute transparency even if
19:15
it's to my detriment like as a parent
19:17
bigger like that i love it it's great like
19:20
i laugh at i felt good even though he was
19:22
expressing absolute indifference to my my
19:24
, and and
19:27
like oh great so as it sounds like what we're
19:29
saying is that earnestness can come in
19:31
into places when you are with yourself and
19:33
being duplicitous doesn't serve yourself at all to see
19:36
why try to hide something from yourself or
19:38
when you're in a relationship where you trust
19:41
the others
19:43
here for you so so completely
19:45
that you're willing to the just say
19:47
what's on your mind right yeah yeah
19:50
the matter question vanessa i had to do with
19:53
this definition that i'm kind of
19:55
they can fucking around
19:57
this would you bet it has to do with being
20:00
the know mind like not having any any
20:02
double mindedness or to mindedness or
20:04
lead other things going on you say
20:06
what you saying in your mind is mind his unified
20:08
or whatever i wanted things that we learned
20:10
to beginners chapter and it's just and hint now
20:13
nothing be developed through the rest the series obviously
20:15
it's is that voldemort
20:18
has access to harrys mind right
20:20
and vice versa which complicates
20:22
a possibility for harry to be earnest
20:24
even with himself i think rights i'm
20:27
an example you gave with that in isolation
20:29
one can be in earnest i think that this chapter
20:31
shows how that works especially in the progression
20:33
of characters that he thought through
20:36
are you describe a nasa but like we know later on in the
20:38
series there will be times when
20:41
you cannot be honest with himself for
20:43
earnest with himself because there are things you ought not
20:45
to think just in case baltimore while know
20:47
he's thinking that right like where he has he has
20:49
to start policing his own thoughts and
20:52
being of two minds about himself as
20:54
really impossible task because
20:56
, can't be present your own thoughts with right like this
20:59
, get problematic and it's gonna get
21:01
problematic because harry
21:03
be single minded he always of two minds
21:05
at least until waldemar is
21:08
purged from him
21:09
the no it isn't that true for
21:11
all of us
21:13
i think we are capable of been earnest
21:15
marilyn
21:16
then i , it takes a lot
21:18
of work regular sending in my
21:20
chaplaincy and i'm sure this to for you as far
21:23
as like people trying to figure out what it is that they
21:25
really want and i think that
21:28
in those two or three or four
21:30
mayans our society
21:32
and patriarchal norms and white supremacy
21:34
and and our parents and our grandparents
21:37
expectations of us since you
21:39
know when i was a freshman by their i
21:41
would have students come to me and be like i do not
21:43
know with i want to be a doctor or
21:46
five just been told that i think need to be a doctor
21:48
for so long that i started to
21:50
think that so i
21:52
think fit as wary
21:55
as i am on several the metaphors
21:57
isn't as series
21:59
all the more
22:01
the impacting the way that harry is thinking
22:03
the
22:04
literally it actually works for me
22:07
because he's also impacting the way that
22:09
harry is thinking outside of the
22:11
invasion of harrys bream
22:12
yeah directly right i mean
22:14
that percentage your the mind is like a different
22:17
relationships in different wounds and
22:19
different traumas things are always impact
22:21
in are always we think and even if we're not aware the
22:24
influences that are going on in our brains of air
22:26
right himself earnest this
22:28
is a rare thing and it really does require
22:30
deep feelings of safety interest and care
22:33
which is what characters show that i'm is
22:35
it's why that progression of characters in his
22:37
head itself telling like you go to her mind first
22:41
and i think it's also important that like the imagine
22:43
response which we have described as very
22:45
recognizably her mining is also a very
22:47
direct and honest response right yeah mine
22:49
is saying exactly what she thinks
22:51
the harry
22:52
without drawing protect him or herself just
22:54
saying this is what i think and ron
22:56
to from sounds recognizable in
22:58
harrys imagination of ron because
23:01
this is exactly what wrong would say which is
23:03
also unfiltered by
23:05
health protection or
23:09
variety or worry about what harry will think where he
23:11
just says like oh boy i dunno i think you ought to do this
23:14
that's the earnestness of his imagine responses
23:16
and that the fact that the turns to these two friends first
23:20
how much trust in care there is between them
23:22
because those are the
23:24
the necessary ambitions for any
23:29
yeah i , say
23:31
we've been talking very positively about
23:33
earnest smith and obviously
23:36
it is a virtue is a
23:38
earnestness at least for adults should always
23:40
be disseminated
23:42
carefully wake
23:43
earnest fleet has hateful
23:46
thoughts weekend earnestly have
23:49
celsius spots that we want to talk ourselves
23:51
into better versions as and
23:53
we can also like haven't earnest
23:56
opinion while we're watching someone struggle
23:58
and know like our opinion
24:01
is that necessarily helpful and were
24:03
actually that kept quiet
24:06
in so i think they as beautiful
24:08
as earnestness is it's
24:11
beautiful one inflict self reflection
24:13
or when it's with that trusted
24:15
person you know like i just don't
24:17
want to say like it's always a virtue
24:20
and i think sometimes the trick to
24:22
a good relationship is sometimes not saying
24:24
what you said then i
24:26
don't mean what is that in a patronizing way
24:29
i mean like it's not your place to
24:31
see if what you think about
24:33
certain things it's not your place to share
24:35
your earnest spot
24:37
yeah i had a friend once you
24:40
the version of radical honesty that
24:42
i know that that are gonna see them as a book and it's
24:44
a whole like approach to relationships
24:46
and so forth and i'm not make any comment upon this
24:48
book was a not super familiar with i just know that this person's
24:51
practice a radical honesty sometimes
24:53
forced upon cruelty right like rats
24:55
like you can tell the truth while still caring
24:57
for how a person receives it and i think we ought to tell
24:59
the batteries we shouldn't lie and we can avoid
25:02
the truth but we i think if we're trying
25:04
to build relationship when we tell the truth we can
25:06
be aware of how that truth the land and
25:08
use language which is a minute
25:10
the a little tool to try to deliver that message
25:13
in a way that it can be heard and then builds up rather
25:15
than tears down and i think the
25:17
friend of mine sort of thought of honesty
25:20
as license to be
25:22
indifferent to how cruel a they're
25:25
hundred only might last year it's it's i'm
25:27
sorry but your tell are called like a c at you know like that
25:30
that kind of thing which like i
25:32
mean you can call a thing like you see it and describe
25:34
it honestly
25:36
you honestly care for the person to hearing
25:38
it
25:38
then you also to care about how to receive and try
25:40
to figure out and it can be a difficult thing but try to figure
25:42
out how to tell the truth in a way
25:45
that can be heard and helps rather hurts
25:47
not all through
25:49
the are your business or maybe it's
25:52
smit they're not all objective we true
25:54
and of my grandmother really hit as a haircut that
25:56
i i love
25:57
and iraq great am
25:59
the night or and i saw my grandmother
26:02
two times a week and every time i saw
26:04
her she told me that she's truthfully
26:06
and earnestly hated my her pad and
26:09
like that lightweight is bullying
26:11
at a certain point you buy em
26:13
like i loved her and it became a joke
26:18
the truth or not absolute
26:19
yeah that's right i mean i think the other thing
26:22
we haven't visited etymology corner yet but i
26:24
think we have a etymology corner might help us with
26:26
this because earnestness comes from
26:28
a pro dramatic word which means
26:30
seriousness right and
26:32
and the one hand that can be serious in that sense
26:34
of woke the know mindedness
26:36
i like this is so important i can't i can't
26:39
deflector i can undermine with
26:41
second guesses or whatever right sauna be single minded
26:43
that's that one's as earnest nests but the other
26:45
thing is like a can be trivial my
26:48
right is it actually important that your grandmother
26:50
tell you that says mike your heck out of how
26:52
important and hamid how to see how to tell it like when does it
26:54
become less important might like earnest this also
26:56
means i'm being this frank with you because
26:58
this is a thing that deserves the
27:00
candour i'm lending it right and
27:03
slang and so maybe it's hard you can't
27:05
be earnest is year
27:07
adding from and trivially
27:09
ray or make you laugh in your business which ashley's
27:11
in your business because that's not being serious as not taking
27:13
them seriously there
27:15
yeah something else it's
27:18
my earnest
27:18
there
27:20
this week's episode of harry potter and the sacred texts is brought
27:22

28:40
huh
28:42
one other thing i just want to point to
28:44
cause i love it so much is
28:46
harry is earnest desire to get
28:49
invited to the weasley to go to the credits world
28:51
cup in , know this is this
28:53
something quote unquote child like about
28:55
this but i feel this
28:57
so hard as a middle aged
28:59
person i still have
29:02
been like this where it's like and
29:04
so far years sit there
29:06
i'm super glad you're cancelling or meeting
29:09
yeah
29:11
the great like weekend earnestly have to
29:14
responses to something at the same time
29:16
there is a possibility for earnest to
29:18
my goodness you're right especially wyoming says
29:21
especially when you're sick and i get going to be
29:24
i'm
29:26
genuinely worried and i'm like sir
29:28
i bring said the noodle soup on my way
29:30
to the beach
29:31
ahead
29:33
i think that harry genuinely
29:36
is worried about voldemort and also
29:38
january the one who ended up at it's wildcat
29:40
detroit's the desert q equal
29:42
desires and actually i would say that see
29:45
didn't know that the all of my thing as a bigger deal
29:47
for he wants to go to the credits world more
29:50
than one cares about the vault them from
29:52
critics from cup is happening soon
29:55
as i am i can agree on play out over at least
29:58
weeks right
30:13
the vanessa this is a very exciting day in
30:15
the history of a second series of harry potter
30:17
like attacks have a family history
30:20
of not sorry productions what's in
30:23
all earnestness you were saying no
30:25
north america about that something
30:28
we've been wanting to do for a long time and
30:31
that is what we're doing their listeners as we
30:33
are introducing a new sacred reading practice
30:37
from a non western non
30:39
abraham it's pretty soon we're introducing a
30:41
buddhist they
30:43
could reading practice allow my family buddhist
30:45
my care lot about of the buddhist tradition of his teachings
30:47
and it's practice and a success in general i
30:50
know somebody resources to get a family practice
30:52
as cannot a scholar expert in a buddhist
30:54
tradition but i've been doing some research and says
30:56
we're starting a new block i thought
30:58
it might be time to introduce a new segregating practice
31:01
segregating practice going introduce today
31:03
it's called the for alliances
31:05
and it's given his name by
31:08
a really well known scholar of buddhism named
31:10
robert a f thurman norman
31:13
was the first westerner
31:15
who was ordained in a tibetan buddhist tradition
31:17
by the dali lama himself by tenzin gyatso
31:20
and he was a professor of buddhism at both amhurst
31:22
and columbia
31:24
the university is also the dad of uma
31:26
thurman
31:27
interesting way
31:29
wilde it's wild wrote an
31:31
essay in which he discusses the for
31:33
reliance's is a little bit older
31:35
it's called buddhist hermeneutics him he can post a version
31:38
of it on the harry potter in the sacred texts website
31:40
among our resources but i'm just like
31:42
planes you like where the for
31:44
lines as come from why they were generated and
31:46
how they operate within buddhism and then a talk
31:48
about how we're going to try use it for
31:50
our community
31:51
the great my i'm so excited
31:54
so a buddhist scriptures a very complex
31:56
as a different scriptural tradition they come from
31:58
lotta different times and places
31:59
the stories are
32:01
the
32:02
by orders of magnitude more than
32:04
our our in say judaism christianity
32:07
just more documents and ,
32:09
of the things that really tricky about them is that even
32:11
and i'm most ancient and reliable documents
32:13
sometimes the buddha would contradict himself
32:16
himself commentaries would say exactly
32:18
opposite things and so very early
32:21
on and interpretation buddhist scholars
32:23
we're thinking about how do we know what the right teaching it's
32:26
right and eric they're always kind
32:28
of reflection upon a hockey know when a teaching
32:30
as reliable as you know what meaning
32:33
it should care for you in your life and also
32:35
thinking about why would the scriptures carry contradictions
32:38
one of the kind of story that comes out when i think
32:40
about like why these teachings might have different
32:42
meanings the metaphor given that there's a
32:44
man whose house is burning he runs into
32:46
his house to save his children and still not
32:48
don't care that a house is burning they're all playing with toys
32:51
right and so in order to get them out of the
32:53
burning house he tells each child
32:55
that their favorite toys outside he tells one
32:57
that the dear oh dear carter's outside one
32:59
that us for started outside one that
33:01
a both heart is outside and because they
33:03
eat like a deer and horses in bowls
33:05
respectively they all run outside when what's
33:07
outside of actually just the ball car two
33:10
of them are disappointed but all three are saved fright
33:12
season and so there's a sense that like for pragmatic
33:15
reasons sometimes the teaching is adjusted to
33:17
the audience which
33:19
makes sense for why the buddha might just the way that
33:21
he teaches but for the person who's hearing
33:23
a lesson
33:25
no
33:27
and so the buddhist tradition especially a particular
33:29
tradition called the my yarmulke tradition
33:32
closely aligned with tibetan buddhism
33:35
and an important figure in tibetan
33:37
buddhism names on capa
33:39
this thing called the for alliances
33:41
so the the for alliances at least
33:43
according to professor thurman boomers
33:45
dad are as have rights
33:49
the first is trust for teaching
33:51
not the teacher oh love
33:53
that
33:54
isn't that interesting i mean i think that really this might be
33:56
really useful for us as we think about this
33:59
that of apple's that comes from an author that
34:01
has some problematic views right very
34:03
early on the buddhist that trust that teaching that the teacher
34:06
now what's really important about this teaching from the buddhist tradition
34:09
buddhist that there wasn't there wasn't that the buddha
34:11
and heard enlightenment on anybody
34:13
himself that he wasn't the
34:15
carrier of enlightenment and therefore designed
34:18
to give it to somebody else rather with
34:20
the buddha we do is set a person on a path
34:22
toward their own enlightenment however
34:25
you would trust the teaching of a teacher about like a
34:27
teacher gives it to me is the
34:29
teacher guys me in a way that i can find it myself
34:33
so for our practice when reading harry potter
34:36
when i thought the first up could do for us is
34:38
it could help us think about what
34:41
question the passages rating for us
34:43
right not a fairly what we think the
34:46
author means by writing this passage but what
34:48
passes at setting us up on like
34:50
what direction is it pointing us in so
34:52
we can see what questions it raises for us and how
34:55
we can arrive can waiver meaning we need to arrive at
34:57
so that's the first step the teaching another teacher
34:59
and for our purposes as mean what question
35:01
is that raised in us like in
35:03
our own in our own sense of the really
35:05
what
35:07
step of the for realizes is
35:10
the meaning and not the letter now
35:13
this is kind of obscure and actually the british citizen they
35:15
call it the practical dharma rather than a verbal
35:17
dharma fight scene
35:19
but what that means or at least the way that's been interpreted by
35:21
the buddhist traditions is
35:23
the turn away from sort of
35:25
the man to content that the words towards
35:27
the practical actions at a passage cause
35:29
you torrents so , way we
35:31
might talk about us in our practice yarn harry potter
35:34
sacred text is not what
35:36
does this passage mean what would it have
35:38
you do the third of the for
35:40
alliances with com the definitive
35:42
rely upon the definitive and not be
35:44
interpreted again if
35:46
is kind of obscure language that thurman users
35:49
and tricky because the meaning and it's reliance has been consistent
35:51
throughout the british tradition but one of the things
35:53
that the madame aca tradition suggests and
35:55
that sermon in his essay suggests is
35:58
that
35:58
like at stake in this third
35:59
that is that we try to get at a deeper
36:02
meaning of the passage is is kinda like the
36:04
so maybe damien out between
36:06
like it says but what's
36:08
, traditional thurman sourcing things is
36:10
that you know languages really malleable flight
36:13
if if it's raining outside there are any number
36:15
way that i guess it is raining outside i could say that
36:17
it's raining outside i could say today
36:20
there is water falling from the sky and small droplets
36:22
i could say there is precipitation which
36:25
is not frozen right like they're either way
36:27
this is like words or malleable and
36:29
this step once in a move away from at towards
36:31
what the deeper thing is it a deeper
36:33
meaning is that so
36:36
given all the kind of literary or
36:38
verbal
36:39
movements going on in the passage what's really at
36:41
stake much underneath all this that
36:43
the and passages where the trying to communicate use
36:45
that step three and
36:48
in a fourth reliance is to
36:50
rely upon wisdom rather than
36:52
irrational which is to say that
36:54
you know to take an example from the christian tradition
36:57
you can understand the command to love your
36:59
neighbor
37:00
you can know what that means
37:02
know what that means is very different than
37:04
to experience what loving your neighbor as thyself
37:07
like like so for our
37:09
purposes when
37:10
for supper guess about disappearing
37:13
from your own life as it
37:15
raises
37:16
great i love the different way
37:18
that this is shedding light i'm
37:21
similar practices
37:22
that not the same and then to what we've been doing
37:24
so i'll walk us through this not go through the four steps
37:26
and our minds you and our listeners of
37:28
the four steps and myself and for some reason
37:31
but i selected a passage this
37:33
practice is especially suitable when
37:36
meanings are unclear right what they're trying to
37:38
do is say like when there's contest when you're not sure
37:40
what something means these are the tools used
37:42
to try to get what you what it ought to mean for you
37:45
and so i selected a passage from the chapter
37:47
which was unclear to me the
37:49
passage like it is the final paragraph from
37:51
a chapter which is what
37:53
comes right after is written a letter that to serious
37:56
right he's written letters serious which
37:58
doesn't really say everything he wants to i and
38:01
tries to protect his own sense of what series is perception
38:03
of him might be and then
38:05
having completed a letter this is
38:08
the paragraph we have which is sort of inside harrys
38:10
hut
38:12
yeah i thought harry that looked alright
38:14
there was no point
38:16
putting in the dream
38:17
they didn't want to look as though he was too worried
38:20
for the dot apartment and later decide
38:22
on his desk ready for when had returned
38:25
when he got to his feet stretched and opened
38:27
his wardrobe once more without
38:30
glancing at his reflection he
38:32
started to get dressed before going down
38:34
to breakfast
38:35
the former life
38:38
in this tradition is rely upon a teaching
38:41
another teacher the we were interpreted that is
38:43
the think about what question this raises for us
38:46
not what question we think the author
38:48
wants us to raise or what cost me author has
38:50
author the text as but for us and our own reading
38:52
what question does this race for ourselves
38:54
to their question that arose in as passage for you
38:57
since
38:58
what a good steak for me and less
39:00
passage is what
39:03
would it take for harry to want to
39:05
glance at his for success
39:07
there's something sad about someone who can
39:09
right meet their own i am
39:11
like that is why we're watching
39:14
harry del ray ,
39:16
the letter actually looked all right then he'd
39:18
be a little look himself in the eye and be like yeah
39:21
i did it the heat give
39:23
me give he seems ashamed of what he dead
39:27
i think that was why i chose has become a question arose
39:29
from me which is slightly different from yours but related
39:31
my question was why doesn't he won look himself the mayor
39:34
yeah like a chapter starts with him looking himself mayor
39:36
almost try to check it starts with him waking up because
39:38
the pain but the first thing he does this look at the scar
39:40
because he feels pain in a looks the same to i'm not
39:42
sure why it hurts more right
39:45
and you know the
39:47
techniques and know that he does not look at a scar
39:49
at the end and i wanna know why his mother's car and i
39:51
think
39:52
i did your answer is
39:54
a good one and a possible one at a person doesn't wanna
39:56
see their own reflection a person that was it doesn't wanna look themselves
39:58
in the mirror
39:59
i can often be a sign of like
40:02
the same
40:03
he didn't he wasn't honest with serious and so he does
40:05
him and honest with themselves as i can't look at a
40:08
look at the scar i was also
40:10
hundred i think for me for me question was like
40:12
coming to do with avoidance right like
40:15
it's maybe i didn't even want to
40:17
see the the idol or middle pretend it doesn't hurt
40:19
maybe if i ignore it it'll go away guess
40:22
i think the question is like what
40:24
your question that things like what would it take
40:26
for him to not want to be look
40:28
back at it again
40:31
or at least look in his own eyes fray it like
40:33
maybe yeah let's as another way great way to think about
40:35
i'd like it for the sake of avoiding the scar he
40:37
won't look himself
40:40
right now thought three it like that's
40:42
that's
40:43
one of the things that member re
40:46
is that some sort of scar
40:48
makes you not wanna
40:49
the yourself that can in
40:51
fact a bigger part of the three and also just
40:53
about insecurity and shame in general right sometimes
40:55
those prove ourselves that we're not proud of or ashamed
40:58
of same as so
41:00
much that we refused even to look at the things that we ought
41:02
to be proud of her that are good about us or whatever
41:04
and
41:08
so the second reliance
41:11
in the for alliances at the way it's phrase
41:14
traditionally at least impairments articulation
41:16
is the meaning and not the letter
41:19
and
41:21
we were going to interpret that and far
41:23
own practice is what with the passage
41:25
have you'd do rather than have you know
41:29
so if you quite as question to your own life your
41:31
own relationships what does it take us to
41:33
look at ourselves was attacked for her like himself
41:36
and what does the passage want us to do
41:38
the average wants us to be more vulnerable
41:41
then we are sending
41:43
that he know we
41:46
as in oregon
41:46
they shouldn't say is that vulnerability should be
41:48
like a yoga practice he should be trying to push
41:50
yourself that never risk hurting yourself
41:53
and harry arguably is doing
41:55
that ray like even setting a letter
41:57
to syria is syria risk but
42:00
i think we want him to push himself
42:02
with the vulnerability maybe if you
42:04
caught his own reflection he
42:06
would say
42:07
you gotta say
42:09
i'm really think there's some
42:11
names i think
42:12
this passage of asking us to be a little bit more
42:14
vulnerable than we are what
42:16
are you thank you i mean i
42:19
think the way you phrased the question in the first step was
42:21
really great it is great way is would you ask was like
42:23
what would it take for harry to do this right and right
42:25
and right what is mister figures out
42:27
multiple for my wife
42:29
are looking away from mirrors that they ought
42:31
to be looking in because , the things that are
42:33
frightened of seeing some it's tricky though
42:35
because there's a scar on harrys hut right
42:37
there the source of pain that he does
42:39
not want to be faced with like
42:41
an active sorts of paint something that woke them up in the middle
42:43
of the night and act as
42:46
have made him like and you're all these other people
42:48
i can help him and , understand
42:50
why he doesn't wanna like high heat why he wanted
42:52
to go away i can you help someone who
42:55
are understandably want to look away from that pain
42:58
honey happened still see themselves
43:00
such a particular
43:03
that's right like every single person would need
43:05
a different thing to be able to see
43:07
the couldn't themselves so there's
43:09
no like
43:10
hang on
43:12
one size fits all solution i guess maybe
43:14
when it wanted to do is is attached fast attention
43:17
to how to
43:19
to look away even from ourselves and and try
43:21
to ask people what happens yourself
43:24
furious i think is doing the right thing by not
43:27
over
43:27
carrying his concerns
43:29
while on the
43:30
road but i think sometimes sharing
43:32
a little that opens up the possibility
43:35
for others to share my
43:37
wonder if that's the thing ray is nick
43:39
start opening up to those people a
43:43
little bit rate like that reciprocity
43:45
of trust can often help people
43:48
feel sick
43:48
yeah can before and maybe related your first
43:50
response right which was like the road
43:53
is like a practice right like in
43:55
one of the what happens is if if we can be
43:57
created must be vulnerable to others then
44:00
they might let us look at them right
44:02
like the as part of being vulnerable is
44:05
allowing some an awesome look at me even if i want to look at myself
44:07
rights and if we can practice
44:09
out with caring and kindness
44:12
and embassy and thoughtfulness
44:14
and back and help people be seen as i can
44:16
see themselves they can be seen in their own us not
44:18
and ignoring that hurts but also recognizing
44:21
the strengthen their goodness
44:24
even in the places they don't want to recognize themselves
44:27
they'll be vulnerable as your answer again
44:29
yeah
44:31
to the third reliance in this is the kind of
44:33
tricky one it goes by the name the definitive
44:36
the not reinterpreted
44:38
for the purposes of our practice for nothing
44:40
about what is a deeper truth that lies underneath his
44:42
words is malleable words these fickle
44:44
words i can have multiple meanings what is the deeper
44:46
same as being pointed out here was a departure
44:49
passages strike as do a
44:51
lot of avoidance and this path asks
44:54
yeah
44:54
right right
44:55
there is no point in putting in the dream
44:58
was the dream is everywhere in this
45:01
that or even if you don't name the dream
45:03
he folded an arch my and later the side
45:06
right he that to see and
45:09
with that without glancing at his reflection
45:11
the just like avoidance on avoidance
45:13
avoidance
45:14
there's just avoiding a lot which could
45:16
point to like oh he should avoid things
45:19
but it also could point to like he's
45:22
got a lot
45:23
like this is a lot for a kid
45:25
this of her and other paragraph along
45:28
paragraph in this chapter where it's like harry
45:30
is used to pains and then it like lists
45:33
all the times he's than and team before
45:35
so and so i don't know it's
45:38
just a lot
45:39
the thing that maybe chooses passages
45:41
that i wanted to know what's going on with harry
45:44
that he won't like him says the mayor right
45:46
and i read that pretty quickly as as like that we are rising
45:49
like comes up a mere which is why has this passage but the conversation
45:51
we had so far i think kind of builds to
45:54
something what you're saying which is like the
45:56
because harry is such a
45:58
good kid and or
45:59
the you kid i think it's easy
46:02
to forget
46:03
how much heard an
46:05
injury and loss
46:07
just below the surface
46:10
right yeah i'm it always just is
46:12
always right there for him and because
46:14
he's such a cure on such a good kid it's easy to forget
46:16
that but rick berman sometimes
46:19
causes the profound or hidden meaning right and
46:21
it's that something is a deeper thing the hidden
46:23
thing was always right under
46:25
the surface for harry is all this loss
46:27
rights and it's and sense in which it's so
46:30
close to the surface if
46:32
you look for the surface that he looks for themselves right
46:34
even at picture himself will just remind him i
46:37
get scar on his forehead even though the small
46:39
scar hi so
46:41
much and it's is it is surfacing
46:44
now in it's a cute way because he feels
46:46
pain there by a
46:48
luxury of us as readers to dislike always
46:50
a happy kid most of the time his books and
46:52
he is i think that he actually does have happiness and
46:54
joy of his friends but there's so much
46:57
enemies this summer's enemies and i think for us to
46:59
like a lot of people that we're at war
47:01
everyday who might have the same
47:04
said about what our factors harry are
47:06
also often carrying a lot
47:08
and yeah there's something really important in
47:10
us
47:11
arguably like
47:13
trying to receive people for all the they are not just
47:15
for what they're interested
47:17
are willing to sell to others for fear
47:19
of being
47:20
he did we kurt or more or wounded
47:24
sometimes i'll look at someone i love
47:26
and be like oh you're thinking about
47:29
yeah
47:29
the sick person in your life
47:31
where your crease about something
47:34
then you don't know whether to bring it up
47:37
they might wanna talk about it or
47:39
not you know like those moments
47:41
where and am not sure what to do with
47:43
that but like there's just
47:45
there's always just so much pain under
47:48
what people are saying
47:50
but whenever you are so intuitively buddhist he
47:52
took us to our fourth step which is wisdom
47:55
over the rational thinking about experience
47:57
rather than like a lesson i instead of saying
47:59
love your neighbor
47:59
understanding what that means conceptually it means like
48:02
really ceiling and what is it's one of the experience of loving
48:04
your neighbor like and i think that
48:06
that example you just gave is an example
48:08
i think we've all had those moments where we can just see
48:10
someone we love because we know them well remembering
48:13
, that they're scared to say because
48:15
they don't want to bring down the room room they're
48:17
hesitant to bring up because they think maybe you
48:20
don't wanna hear about it and
48:22
you're scared to bring up because you're thinking was
48:24
are not thinking about it and it want to make him think about
48:26
his advice but as his advice
48:28
you both know
48:30
right and maybe just to take the risk and
48:32
say you are you ok or i've been thinking
48:34
about this right like yeah like somebody
48:36
like harry harrys never not thinking about his parents
48:38
even if it's not forefront of the mind you're
48:40
probably never wrong to bring it up and say hey
48:42
i care about this and i care about this party you and i
48:44
can look at all of you i can look at that
48:47
period of you as well as
48:49
the the great british player part of
48:51
you i can hold both those things are the same time
48:55
in fact when you feel it i think yeah
48:57
i felt that of my life and i feel like if
48:59
we're talking about experience and i think more often than not i
49:01
sell to say something cause i'm worried about
49:05
you earnest and ruining the moment
49:07
are making a socially awkward
49:09
i can't really remember com my life
49:11
where i have done that and i felt like
49:13
oh boy i that made it super awkward not shouldn't have
49:15
easily does a thing i hope you do
49:17
which is to
49:19
recognize what with after going on the room
49:22
thank you for this beautiful practice
49:24
i really loved it and everything
49:27
you've taught me i really appreciate
49:29
the way you can watch it is different from abraham
49:31
make traditions the night i have
49:33
said
49:35
we do this enough that it really works on my breathing
49:37
trains my brain processes a beautiful
49:39
today
49:40
yeah i think like vulnerability to practice rights
49:42
is the first time and i think will get better at asking these questions
49:44
and also seeing how they relate to one another
49:46
