I'm noticing that a lot of folks are resonating with the message in this video, but also are left puzzled as to what it all means and what to do about it. Are you confused? Good! That's part of the path. You should be confused. This is deep stuff. This is what drives philosophers to sit and think for hours and hours on end. This is why I told you to take a week off to just sit and think. You can't expect to understand all the ramifications of such a shift in worldview in 10 minutes. You've probably never sat down and seriously contemplated life before. Welcome to the self-actualized way of life -- where things are uncertain and there are no ready-made solutions. Here are some tips for how to interpret this video: 1) Allow the confusion. Allow the uncertainty. Be open to new possibilities. Don't need answers so fast. 2) Don't fall into the trap of black & white thinking. I didn't tell you to divorce the love of your life, abandon your kids, or stop watching Game of Thrones. I merely made you more aware of how you do these things largely mechanically and unconsciously. I did NOT say that this stuff is evil or bad or must never be done again. No action or behavior, by itself, is necessarily bad or unhealthy. It's how the behavior fits into the bigger picture of your life that's of most importance. Are you using this behavior to distract yourself from finding yourself or seeking out truth? Yes? Then just notice that. Don't overreact. 3) It is not practical to think that you can just ditch the entire matrix of your life in one go. Nor is that usually necessary. What you can do is make a commit to clean up your life. This would be a long-term, gradual project. You might start by watching less TV or quitting weed, and continue along this routine year after year, slowly pruning the most low-consciousness habits from your life. And also adding healthy ones like meditation or more green veggies. This is basically the process of personal growth. It happens over the course of years and decades. 4) The most important action step I'd like you to take is simply to be mindful of your chimp behaviors as they happen. You can notice how you shop for useless things, or eat junky food, or binge-watch Netflix. Also notice the chimpery all around you. Notice the advertisements on Youtube, the kind of stuff you're being marketed, the way your friends gossip to one another, etc. Awareness alone is helpful. 5) Don't start blaming society or the CEOs or politicians. They are chimps, just like you. Notice that blaming is part of the chimp game. 6) If this video stirred you from your sleep, and you know deep down in your heart that some choice right now that you've been pondering is right and healthy for you, then go ahead and take action on it. 7) Watch some of my Spiritual Enlightenment videos if you haven't already.
