There's only one thing that makes you break free from fear, which is to find a way and wake up from the dream. When I look at my worries I had in the last month, for sure 90% of all the worries just didn't happen in the first place. 10% might somehow came true.
But then again, I asked myself, good. So the 10% that came true, even though I had the worries, what could I do about it? Coming to the conclusion, nothing.
And then something just really started to shift inside of me where I literally let go of something, let go of this idea that everything is like onedirectional, that everything that you're going to encounter in this lifetime is going to be beautiful. Everything in this lifetime is going to be peaceful. Everybody you're going to meet along your journey is going to be wellhearted towards you.
No, it's not. Because in the moment where you have well-hearted people, you have illwilled people. And in the moment where there is success, where you want to be part of the success story, you're going to be part of the failing story.
And in the moment where you want to be part of the light story, you're going to be part of the dark story. This is how it is. This is the world of what we call the world of yin and yang.
This is the world of birth and death, of aging and sickness. I do think it is a blessing being able to just experience. It's a blessing that we have been granted the possibility of simply experiencing what this existence is capable of creating, including everything, including the joy, including the happiness, including the tears, including the heartbreaks, all of this without the separation.
Whether you prefer one area or not, sometimes the one goes with the other, but the purpose in a way is just be and experience. The only thing that happens and which is a big part nowadays is if you take your current existence too serious. If you completely base your identity, your being on what you think you are, it's just a picture right now.
Just sometimes make it very simple. Jump out of yourself and be the director. Be the director of this avatar.
And then it just opens another perspective. Because in that moment, you just realize it's like a movie. Not everything is always positive.
But in the moment where there are times of struggle still not being caught inside your own creation, identity, illusion of the self, different expressions for that. It's a very helpful way of thinking. Let's put it like this.
I can feel how my old patterns sometimes are still trying to sneak in. What to do to break patterns? Number one, you need to see you have one.
And number two, you need to replace old patterns, which ultimately mean patterns. It's habitual behavior. It's habits.
How do you build habits? By continuous behavioral patterns that you continuously do. So there is something about consistency and continuity that ultimately builds a pattern.
consistency of having a training regimen every day. You know, it's not helpful to like six days per week do nothing and then you go one day to the gym and give your everything. No, it's better you have some type of consistency throughout the whole day.
This is what builds patterns, healthy patterns. Yeah. Similar like this.
What is somebody supposed to do? Number one, look at yourself and see yourself. We are all not perfect, but according to the circumstances that you are facing right now today, what type of character do you think with?
What do you want to equip your character that he is able to go through this current times in the best possible manner? what is not useful for you anymore, try to get rid of it and get your new skills in. There were times I could simply be surrounded with thousands of people but still feel lonely.
Is not what you're surrounded with, it's with what you are connected. And there I felt like there is always again this type of force. What is it that drives you on?
going outwards, going outwards, going outwards, you lose yourself. But this self is the only thing that can give you connection in this life. I do believe that we all have a source.
There is a source. Whether you call that source is the universe. Whether you call the source, it is the God.
Whether this source is the infinite energy, I don't know. There's so many different expressions to it. But when I look at all these teachings, all are always pointing at one and the same thing.
Let's just take the expression of yin and yang, the symbol everybody knows in the world. And there is that nice saying, yin and yang have a mother. The mother sometimes simply being illustrated as one circle.
So yin and yang as the expression from duality, polarity, existence of number two. Yeah. Where do two come from?
They must come from one. So simple like in our way you are there, I am here. One, two.
Where do we come from? There must be something that we have as a common denominator. And this source is the only thing that can connect us because it's not your family.
It's not my family. They're still different. That is not enough going just looking at we are humans animals same.
Whatever and whoever gave us the possibility to be here is the same who gave you the permission is the same who gave me the permission and the blessing. This is the level of mind. This is the level of connection that never leaves you lonely.
Your best friend or your best girlfriend going to ask you, "So, how was this conversation? " And even so that we are maybe just talking 3 hours, 4 hours. Even if you spend 2 days long explaining to your best friend how this conversation was, it's not the truth.
It is not the truth. How is this conversation? How is this conversation even right now?
We cannot even speak about it. I tell you how this conversation right now really is. Yes.
How you want to describe this? [Music] You will be the only one ever knowing how this is. It doesn't matter who's going to ask you afterwards what you're going to tell them.
You want to feel it, you need to experience it. There is no other way. And this is the nature of words.
This is why these ancient stories come. For example, one master and his student walk up on the mountain early in the morning. Then the sun rises up and then the student says, "Oh, master, what a beautiful sunrise.
" And then like the master like slaps him and never takes him to a walk anymore. Then you say, "Why was the teacher so hard to him? " Because in the moment where you give something that you experience a word, you limit its nature.
You naturally limit its nature. How does this now translate into what we can do with this knowledge? Whatever is being dense and it's limiting, I don't think it's the way.
I think everything for us to practice is look beyond limitations, look beyond the words, look beyond the shape. practice to look beyond the superficiality of things because this is where the meaning lies or this is where part of the realization lies. Yeah, you don't need to go anywhere.
The only thing you need to do is take a moment, contemplate about yourself. go into yourself and find the answers there and then decide for yourself which part and what type of contribution would you like to give to the world that you're living in. I ultimately think this is what I'm doing.
I would say it's diversity and choice. This world is filled with so much choice meanwhile that it's difficult in a way to take a decision which direction to go what is right to do what is not right to do but ultimately it's only yourself who knows the answer which means it comes to the essential point learn more about yourself. This is where it starts because if you have the wrong perspective of who you are, what you are, everything else in this lifetime you base your decisions on is just not not going to be placed in the right direction.
