You guys notice this,
Like,
Imagine this scenario,
Imagine that you had the flu your whole life and you didn't know anything other than the flu.
You see how it just becomes normal.
It's like,
Oh,
This is just normal life.
And then the flu goes away.
You're like,
What is this?
I had no idea there was such a space like this.
And that flu is kind of like the judgment we have as a human being.
It's just become so ingrained to judge ourselves that it seems normal to the point where we don't even see how much is happening.
Furthermore,
How much we're afraid.
We don't realize how much we're actually afraid.
This could be just an exercise,
Which is to pay attention to every emotional disturbance.
A minor irritation,
A minor frustration,
Right?
All of that is deeply tied to a self-judgment and a fear,
Which could be the same thing.
To be disturbed at all emotionally requires fear.
And what we are afraid of is that we're not enough,
Which is a judgment that you're not enough.
So fear and judgment,
They're essentially the same thing.
This speaks to the sensitivity.
Like we didn't even know to look in this direction,
But you can,
I can say develop,
But you can recognize a sensitivity in your system when that happens.
And you can just associate it to what's true,
Right?
Because before it's associated to some blame mechanism.
Oh,
It's because of this and this and this and this and this,
Which is to avoid what it's really about.
For me to notice that I get disturbed,
It somewhat automatically goes to the recognition of,
Oh,
I'm scared,
Which leads to a forgiveness of everything out there because it's not really that that's making me scared,
Which then is a doorway into a humility.
And it's that humility is,
Which is,
You know,
Again,
The humility,
It's just coming to terms with the truth that I don't really know.
All right.
Even in the busyness of my work life and everything that I think I'm supposed to do,
I don't really know if I'm supposed to do this.
I don't really know if this is going anywhere.
You know,
Do you see the humility in that where it kind of steals my goal,
Right?
It steals it.
It takes it all.
Because it's true,
Right?
There's no certainty in that.
And so why would I put my worth and value in that?
It's so funny how that can be so threatening,
Right?
The humility that I'm nothing.
And what I see,
Let's just say God,
When I see this design,
When I see what life has created,
I'm so happy getting out of the way and letting this be about that rather than trying to make it about me.
This insecure character that is trying to be God and fails miserably.
And when that little boy comes up and he's heartbroken because he's genuinely scared,
That's okay.
It's like,
Of course you are.
Of course you are.
It's like when my girlfriend takes things personally.
She has this amazing capacity to take what I say and make it about her.
Right?
Because she's just,
She's,
You know,
She's scared.
She has a beautiful love and she doesn't want to lose it.
So she takes it personally as a way of trying to protect it.
Because it's so not true,
It's just so okay.
I really hope you can touch upon that space that can see that it is perfectly fine that you get scared sometimes.
And recognize also that this is every other human being.
Right?
If this is your one problem,
Your one issue that creates all of your emotional disturbances is that you're afraid that you're not lovable.
This is the same problem for every single human being.
For me,
That's the most beautiful thing.
That's what connects me to all the human beings I come in contact with.
Because I know what the only issue is.
And when somebody comes after me and they start acting crazy or they try and steal thousands of dollars from me,
It's like I know what the issue is.
You're scared.
I'm sorry.
And even the world acting crazy,
People dropping bombs on each other,
What do you think the issue is?
It's all the same thing.
And so let me offer a silent bow and simply say,
I'm sorry,
I love you.
And if they get the message,
They get it.
If they don't,
I get it.
Right?
Because we've all been there.
We know what it's like to not get it.
We know how much that hurts.
There's a very beautiful heartbreak for all of humanity that's hurting.
But you also know that everyone's actually okay.
And so you can go about living your life.
