Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death
- 0:06Speaker 1: is not the biggest fear we have. Our biggest fear
- 0:14Speaker 1: is taking the risk to be alive and to express.
- 0:17Speaker 2: What we really are.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Just being ourself is the biggest fear of humans. What
- 0:36Speaker 1: you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but
- 0:39Speaker 1: a dream. You're dreaming right now, in this moment. You're
- 1:00Speaker 1: dreaming with the brain awake. Dreaming is the main function
- 1:07Speaker 1: of the mind, and the mind dreams twenty four hours
- 1:15Speaker 1: a day. It dreams when the brain is awake, and
- 1:21Speaker 1: it also dreams when the brain is asleep. The difference
- 1:26Speaker 1: is that when the brain is awake, there is a
- 1:28Speaker 1: material frame that makes us perceive things in a linear way.
- 1:38Speaker 1: When we go to sleep, we do not have the frame,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and the dream has the tendency to change constantly. Humans
- 1:46Speaker 1: are dreaming all the time. Before we were born, the
- 1:50Speaker 1: humans before us created a big outside dream that we
- 1:54Speaker 1: will call society.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Stream, or the dream of the planet.
- 1:58Speaker 1: The dream of the planet is the collective dream of
- 2:01Speaker 1: billions of smaller personal dreams, which together create a dream
- 2:06Speaker 1: of a family, a dream of a community, a dream
- 2:10Speaker 1: of a city, a dream of a country, and finally,
- 2:14Speaker 1: a dream of the whole humanity. The dream of the
- 2:26Speaker 1: planet includes all of society's rules, its beliefs, its laws,
- 2:31Speaker 1: its religions, its different cultures and ways to be, its governments, schools,
- 2:36Speaker 1: social events, and holidays. We are born with the capacity
- 2:42Speaker 1: to learn how to dream, and the humans who live
- 2:48Speaker 1: before us teach us how to dream the way society dreams.
- 2:54Speaker 1: The outside dream has so many rules that when a
- 2:57Speaker 1: new human is born, we hook the child's ten and
- 3:00Speaker 1: introduce these rules into his or her mind. The outside
- 3:10Speaker 1: dream uses mom and dad, the schools, and religion to
- 3:14Speaker 1: teach us how to dream. Attention is the ability we
- 3:20Speaker 1: have to discriminate and to focus only on that which
- 3:23Speaker 1: we want to perceive. We can perceive millions of things simultaneously,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but using our attention, we can hold whatever we want
- 3:37Speaker 1: to perceive in the foreground of our mind. The adults
- 3:42Speaker 1: around us hooked our attention and put information into our
- 3:45Speaker 1: minds through repetition. That is the way we learned everything
- 3:51Speaker 1: we know. By using our attention, we learned a whole reality,
- 3:57Speaker 1: a whole dream. We learned how to behave in society,
- 4:05Speaker 1: what to believe and what not to believe, what is
- 4:09Speaker 1: acceptable and what is not acceptable, what is good and
- 4:13Speaker 1: what is bad, what is beautiful and what is ugly,
- 4:18Speaker 1: what is right.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And what is wrong. It was all there already, all that.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Knowledge, all those rules and concepts about how to behave
- 4:27Speaker 1: in the world. The outside dream hooks our attention and
- 4:32Speaker 1: teaches us what to believe, beginning with the language that
- 4:36Speaker 1: we speak. Language is the code for understanding and communication
- 4:43Speaker 1: between humans. Every letter, every word in each language is
- 4:55Speaker 1: an agreement. Once we understand the code, our attention is
- 5:01Speaker 1: hooked and the energy is transferred from one person to another.
- 5:08Speaker 1: As children, we didn't have the opportunity to choose our beliefs,
- 5:12Speaker 1: but we agreed with the information it was passed to
- 5:15Speaker 1: us from the dream of the planet via other humans.
- 5:21Speaker 1: As soon as we agree, we believe it, and this
- 5:23Speaker 1: is called faith. To have faith is to believe unconditionally.
- 5:40Speaker 1: That's how we learn as children. Children believe everything adults say.
- 5:45Speaker 1: We agree with them, and our faith is so strong
- 5:49Speaker 1: that the belief system controls our whole dream of life.
- 5:56Speaker 1: The result is surrendered to the beliefs with ours agreement,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and through this domestication we learn how to live and
- 6:08Speaker 1: how to dream. In human domestication, the information from the
- 6:15Speaker 1: outside dream is conveyed to the inside dream, creating our
- 6:20Speaker 1: whole belief system. First, the child is taught the names
- 6:31Speaker 1: of things mom, dad, day by day, at home, at school,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and from television. We are told how to live, what
- 6:45Speaker 1: kind of behavior is acceptable. The outside dream teaches us
- 6:51Speaker 1: how to be a human, and we also learn to judge.
- 7:00Speaker 1: We judge ourselves, we judge other people, We judge the neighbors.
- 7:12Speaker 1: We train our children, whom we love so much, the
- 7:15Speaker 1: same way that we train any domesticated animal. When we
- 7:21Speaker 1: went against the rules, we were punished. When we went
- 7:24Speaker 1: along with the rules, we got a reward. Soon we
- 7:29Speaker 1: became afraid of being punished and also afraid of not
- 7:33Speaker 1: receiving the reward. With that fear of being punished and
- 7:39Speaker 1: that fear of not getting the reward, we start pretending
- 7:43Speaker 1: to be what we are not, just to please others,
- 7:46Speaker 1: just to be good enough for someone else, And so
- 7:52Speaker 1: we start acting. We pretend to be what we are
- 7:56Speaker 1: not because we are afraid of being rejected. The fear
- 8:01Speaker 1: of being rejected becomes the fear of not being good enough.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Eventually we become someone that we are not. All our
- 8:16Speaker 1: normal tendencies are lost in the process of domestication. The
- 8:24Speaker 1: domestication is so strong that at a certain point in
- 8:28Speaker 1: our life, we no longer need anyone to domesticate us.
- 8:41Speaker 1: We're so well trained that we are our own domesticator.
- 8:45Speaker 1: We are an autodomesticated animal. We can now domesticate ourselves
- 8:52Speaker 1: according to the same belief system we were given in,
- 8:55Speaker 1: using the same system of punishment and reward. We punish
- 8:59Speaker 1: ourselves when we don't follow the rules according to our
- 9:02Speaker 1: belief system. We reward ourselves when we are the good
- 9:06Speaker 1: boy or the good girl. Just as the government has
- 9:13Speaker 1: a book of laws that rule the society's dream, our
- 9:17Speaker 1: belief system is the book of laws that rules our mind.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Without question, whatever is in that book of law is
- 9:24Speaker 1: our truth. We base all of our judgments according to
- 9:27Speaker 1: the book of law, even if these judgments go against
- 9:30Speaker 1: our own inner nature, and these agreements rule our personal dream.
- 9:43Speaker 1: There's something in our minds that judges everybody and everything.
- 9:51Speaker 1: The inner judge uses what is in our book of
- 9:54Speaker 1: law to judge everything we do and don't do, everything
- 9:59Speaker 1: we think and I don't think, and everything we feel
- 10:04Speaker 1: and don't feel. Everything lives under the tyranny of this judge.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Every time we do something that goes against the Book
- 10:17Speaker 1: of law, the judge says we are guilty, we need
- 10:21Speaker 1: to be punished, we should be ashamed. This happens many
- 10:29Speaker 1: times a day, day after day, for all the years
- 10:33Speaker 1: of our lives. There's another part of us that receives
- 10:39Speaker 1: the judgments, and this part is called the victim. The
- 10:45Speaker 1: victim carries the blame, the guilt, and the shame. It
- 10:51Speaker 1: is the part of us that says, poor me, I'm
- 10:54Speaker 1: not good enough, I'm not intelligent enough, I'm not attractive enough,
- 10:59Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Worthy of.
- 11:02Speaker 1: The big judge agrees and says, yes, you're not good enough.
- 11:07Speaker 1: And this is all based on a belief system that
- 11:11Speaker 1: we never chose to believe. These beliefs are so strong
- 11:15Speaker 1: that even years later, when we're exposed to new concepts
- 11:19Speaker 1: and try to make our own decisions, we find that
- 11:22Speaker 1: these beliefs still.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Control our lives.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Whatever goes against the Book of Law will make you
- 11:30Speaker 1: feel a funny sensation.
- 11:32Speaker 2: In your solar plexus, and it's called fear.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Breaking the rules in the Book of law opens your
- 11:40Speaker 1: emotional wounds, and your reaction is to create emotional poison.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Because even if the book of law is wrong. It
- 11:53Speaker 1: makes you feel safe. Anything that challenges what you believe
- 12:01Speaker 1: is going to make you feel unsafe. That is why
- 12:06Speaker 1: we need a great deal of courage to challenge our
- 12:09Speaker 1: own beliefs.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Because even if we know we didn't choose all.
- 12:13Speaker 1: These beliefs, it's also true that we agreed to all
- 12:15Speaker 1: of them. All these laws exist in our mind. We
- 12:22Speaker 1: believe them, and the judge inside us bases everything on
- 12:27Speaker 1: these rules. The judge decrees, and the victim suffers the
- 12:33Speaker 1: guilt and punishment. How many times do we pay for
- 12:38Speaker 1: one mistake? The answer is thousands of times. The human
- 12:47Speaker 1: is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand
- 12:50Speaker 1: times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals
- 12:56Speaker 1: pay once for every mistake they make, but not us.
- 13:03Speaker 2: We have a powerful memory.
- 13:05Speaker 1: We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, We find ourselves guilty,
- 13:10Speaker 1: and we punish ourselves. Every time we remember, we judge
- 13:17Speaker 1: ourselves again. We are guilty again, and we punish ourselves
- 13:21Speaker 1: again and again and again. If we have a wife
- 13:28Speaker 1: or husband, he or she also reminds us of the mistake,
- 13:32Speaker 1: so we can judge ourselves again, punish ourselves again, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: find ourselves guilty again. How many times do we make
- 13:41Speaker 1: our spouse, our children, or our parents pay for the
- 13:44Speaker 1: same mistake. Every time we remember the mistake, we blame
- 13:49Speaker 1: them again and send them all the emotional poison we
- 13:52Speaker 1: feel at the injustice, and then we make them pay
- 13:56Speaker 1: again for the same mistake. Is that justice? In the
- 14:03Speaker 1: dream of the planet, it is normal for humans to suffer,
- 14:06Speaker 1: to live in fear, and to create emotional dramas. The
- 14:12Speaker 1: outside dream is not a pleasant dream. It is a
- 14:16Speaker 1: dream of violence, a dream of fear, a dream of war,
- 14:20Speaker 1: a dream of injustice. The personal dream of humans will vary,
- 14:28Speaker 1: but globally it is mostly a nightmare. If we look
- 14:35Speaker 1: at human society, we see a place so difficult to.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Live in because it is ruled by fear.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Throughout the world, we see human suffering, anger, revenge, addictions,
- 14:49Speaker 1: violence in the street, and tremendous injustice. Fear is controlling
- 14:56Speaker 1: the outside dream. If we compare the dream of human
- 15:02Speaker 1: society with the description of hell that religions all around
- 15:07Speaker 1: the world have promulgated, we find they are exactly the same.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Religions say that hell is a place of punishment, a
- 15:19Speaker 1: place of fear, pain, and suffering a place where the
- 15:22Speaker 1: fire burns you. Whenever we feel the emotions of anger, jealousy, envy,
- 15:34Speaker 1: or hate, we experience a fire burning within us.
- 15:39Speaker 2: We are living in a dream of hell.
- 15:43Speaker 1: If you consider hell as a state of mind, then
- 15:47Speaker 1: hell is all around us. No human can condemn another
- 15:52Speaker 1: to hell, because we are already there. Others can put
- 15:56Speaker 1: us into a deeper hell. True, but only if we
- 15:59Speaker 1: allow them to happen. Every human has his or her
- 16:05Speaker 1: own personal dream, and just like the society dream, it
- 16:10Speaker 1: is often ruled by fear. Our personal dream can also
- 16:15Speaker 1: become an ongoing nightmare where we suffer and live in
- 16:18Speaker 1: a state of fear. But we don't need to dream
- 16:23Speaker 1: a nightmare. It is possible to enjoy a pleasant dream.
- 16:31Speaker 1: All of humanity is searching for truth, justice, and beauty.
- 16:38Speaker 1: We are on an eternal search for the truth because
- 16:40Speaker 1: we only believe in the lies we have stored in
- 16:43Speaker 1: our mind. We keep searching and searching when everything is
- 16:49Speaker 1: already within us. There is no truth defined. Wherever we
- 16:57Speaker 1: turn our heads, all we see is the truth. But
- 17:03Speaker 1: with the agreements and beliefs we have stored in our mind,
- 17:07Speaker 1: we have no eyes for this truth. We don't see
- 17:12Speaker 1: the truth because we are blind. What blinds us are
- 17:18Speaker 1: all those false beliefs we have in our mind. It
- 17:27Speaker 1: is as if we live in the middle of a
- 17:28Speaker 1: fog that doesn't let us see any further than our
- 17:31Speaker 1: own nose. This fog is our personal dream of life,
- 17:37Speaker 1: everything we believe about ourself and the world, all the
- 17:41Speaker 1: concepts we have about what we are, all the agreements
- 17:44Speaker 1: we have made with others, with ourselves. During the process
- 17:51Speaker 1: of domestication, we form an image of what perfection is
- 17:55Speaker 1: in order to try to be good enough in order
- 17:57Speaker 1: to be accepted by everybody. But we don't fit this image.
- 18:05Speaker 1: We create this image, but this image is not real.
- 18:11Speaker 1: We reject ourselves after domestication. It is no longer about
- 18:20Speaker 1: being good enough for anybody else. We are not good
- 18:25Speaker 1: enough for ourselves because we don't fit with our own
- 18:30Speaker 1: image of perfection. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being
- 18:39Speaker 1: what we wish to be, or rather, what we believe
- 18:42Speaker 1: we should be. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being perfect.
- 18:56Speaker 1: We know we are not what we believe we are
- 18:58Speaker 1: supposed to be. We feel false, frustrated, and dishonest. We
- 19:06Speaker 1: try to hide ourselves and we pretend to be what
- 19:08Speaker 1: we are not. The result is that we feel unauthentic
- 19:13Speaker 1: and wear social masks to keep others from noticing this.
- 19:18Speaker 1: We judge others according to our image of perfection as well,
- 19:22Speaker 1: and naturally they fall short of our expectations. We dishonor
- 19:28Speaker 1: ourselves just to please other people. We even do harm
- 19:33Speaker 1: to our physical bodies just to be accepted by others.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Humans punish themselves.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Endlessly for not being what they believe they should be.
- 19:47Speaker 1: They become very self abusive, and they use other people
- 19:51Speaker 1: to abuse themselves as well. But nouse uses us more
- 20:00Speaker 1: than we abuse ourselves, and it is the judge, the victim,
- 20:05Speaker 1: and the belief system.
- 20:07Speaker 2: That make us do this.
- 20:12Speaker 1: The way we judge ourselves is the worst judge that
- 20:15Speaker 1: ever existed. In your whole life, nobody has ever abused
- 20:22Speaker 1: you more than you have abused yourself, and the limit
- 20:27Speaker 1: of your self abuse is exactly the limit that you
- 20:30Speaker 1: will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a
- 20:34Speaker 1: little more than you abuse yourself, you'll probably walk away
- 20:37Speaker 1: from that person. But if someone abuses you a little
- 20:41Speaker 1: less than you abuse yourself, you'll probably stay in the
- 20:45Speaker 1: relationship and tolerate it endlessly. If you abuse yourself very badly,
- 20:51Speaker 1: you can even tolerate someone who beats you up, humiliates you,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and treats you like dirt. Why because in your belief
- 21:01Speaker 1: system you say I deserve it. This person is doing me.
- 21:07Speaker 2: A favor by being with me. I'm not worthy of
- 21:10Speaker 2: love and respect. I'm not good enough.
- 21:19Speaker 1: The more self love we have, the less we will
- 21:22Speaker 1: experience self abuse. Self abuse comes from self rejection, and
- 21:30Speaker 1: self rejection comes from having an image of what it
- 21:33Speaker 1: means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves.
- 21:43Speaker 1: It is why we don't accept ourselves the way we are,
- 21:47Speaker 1: and why we don't accept others the way they are.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Prelude to a new dream. There are thousands of agreements
- 22:03Speaker 1: you have made with yourself, with other people, with your
- 22:07Speaker 1: dream of life, with society, with your parents, with your spouse,
- 22:12Speaker 1: with your children. But the most important agreements are the
- 22:17Speaker 1: ones you made with yourself. You tell yourself who you are,
- 22:27Speaker 1: what you feel, what you believe, and how to behave.
- 22:32Speaker 1: The result is what you call your personality. This is
- 22:36Speaker 1: what I am, this is what I believe I can
- 22:40Speaker 1: do certain things, and some things I cannot do. This
- 22:45Speaker 1: is reality, that is fantasy, This is possible, that is impossible.
- 22:52Speaker 1: One single agreement is not such a problem, but we
- 22:55Speaker 1: have many agreements that make us suffer, that make us
- 22:58Speaker 1: fail in life. If you want to live a life
- 23:01Speaker 1: of joy and fulfillment, you have to find the courage
- 23:05Speaker 1: to break those agreements that are fear based and claim
- 23:08Speaker 1: your personal power. The agreements that come from fear require
- 23:16Speaker 1: us to expend.
- 23:17Speaker 2: A lot of energy, but the.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Agreements that come from love help us to conserve energy
- 23:23Speaker 1: and even gain extra energy. Each of us is born
- 23:27Speaker 1: with a certain amount of personal power that we rebuild
- 23:31Speaker 1: every day. After we rest our, personal power is dissipated
- 23:36Speaker 1: by all the agreements we have created, and the result
- 23:39Speaker 1: is that we feel powerless. We have just enough power
- 23:43Speaker 1: to survive each day because most of it is used
- 23:50Speaker 1: to keep the agreements that trap us in the dream.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Of the planet. How can we.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Change the entire dream of our life when we have
- 24:00Speaker 1: no power to change even the smallest agreement. If we
- 24:06Speaker 1: can see that our agreements rule our life and we
- 24:09Speaker 1: don't like the dream of our life, we need to
- 24:12Speaker 1: change our agreements. Each time you break an agreement, all
- 24:18Speaker 1: the power you use to create it returns to you.
- 24:24Speaker 1: The transformation in your life will be amazing. You will
- 24:30Speaker 1: see the drama of hell disappear right before your eyes.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Instead of living in a dream of hell, you will
- 24:41Speaker 1: be creating a new dream. To be alive is the
- 24:56Speaker 1: biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear
- 25:04Speaker 1: we have. Our biggest fear is taking the risk to
- 25:12Speaker 1: be alive and to express what we really are. Just
- 25:19Speaker 1: being ourself is the biggest fear of humans.
