Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Number one is suffering is an essential ingredient of the
- 0:07Speaker 1: life that we humans are living. I think it's necessary
- 0:15Speaker 1: to build up your personal relationship. What does it mean
- 0:19Speaker 1: when suffering appears in your life?
- 0:23Speaker 2: And in my.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Opinion, ignoring no way is going to come back Running
- 0:29Speaker 1: away from it impossible. The pain is running faster that
- 0:33Speaker 1: the suffering runs faster than it's going to come back again.
- 0:36Speaker 1: There's only one way I really think it is. You
- 0:42Speaker 1: need to push through.
- 0:45Speaker 2: So I know what I want. But when the suffering comes,
- 0:48Speaker 2: and now somebody.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Tell me you need to push through, do you have
- 0:53Speaker 1: the mental do you have the physical abilities to push through?
- 0:58Speaker 1: And if you say no, well then we need to
- 1:01Speaker 1: develop them, and we developed them very, very lightly with
- 1:05Speaker 1: small things. You can't sit still for five minutes. Let's
- 1:13Speaker 1: start with two.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Okay, the two are okay.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Okay, Let's move up three minutes, move up five minutes,
- 1:20Speaker 1: move up ten minutes. Okay, Now your mind can be
- 1:23Speaker 1: still for ten minutes. Let's increase the pressure on you.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Instead of just sitting like silently, nothing moving, let's give
- 1:32Speaker 1: you more disturbance, which means this.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Time we go into a horse stance.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Try ten minutes to not think about the suffering, to
- 1:45Speaker 1: think about the pain, to let the pain and the
- 1:47Speaker 1: shaking and the burning, to not let it disturb you.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Now we have created a new circumstance in order for
- 1:59Speaker 1: you to test, how did your ten minutes ability to
- 2:04Speaker 1: keep the mind steady can now be applied to the
- 2:09Speaker 1: moment of.
- 2:10Speaker 2: That additional pressure.
- 2:13Speaker 1: And then we expand this all to now the real
- 2:16Speaker 1: life pressure that comes when unexpected things hit your life.
- 2:22Speaker 2: There it is the same, how much, for how long
- 2:27Speaker 2: can you maintain your unbroken state? Okay? And this is
- 2:35Speaker 2: the practice. This is where it leads to I don't
- 2:46Speaker 2: feel well when I suffer.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Okay, let's start my this and don't feel well when
- 2:52Speaker 1: I suffer.
- 2:55Speaker 2: So of course.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I am interested to know how can I make the
- 3:01Speaker 1: period shorter of the suffering, or how can I accelerate
- 3:06Speaker 1: that the suffering starts to transform and I would return
- 3:11Speaker 1: back to another state. And therefore training, yes, for many
- 3:18Speaker 1: years and many years has always been my walve. So
- 3:26Speaker 1: on the one side, after transforming the suffering or taking
- 3:30Speaker 1: the suffering as the reason now to do more intensity training.
- 3:35Speaker 1: First of all, when these moments happened, I realized, after
- 3:39Speaker 1: the training, the suffering first of all was less. There's
- 3:42Speaker 1: number one. Second thing is the same reason why I
- 3:47Speaker 1: suffered before. When it somehow came again, didn't felt so
- 3:52Speaker 1: ground shaking anymore like the first time. So meaning something
- 3:56Speaker 1: started to grow already based on this train. So for
- 4:00Speaker 1: me it was like, okay, all the suffering is your
- 4:04Speaker 1: chance to grow. This is how Also then I just
- 4:07Speaker 1: started shifting, meaning I didn't regard suffering as something bad
- 4:13Speaker 1: anymore that I don't want to have. Let's say, meanwhile,
- 4:18Speaker 1: it is like the suffering comes because either I was
- 4:22Speaker 1: not properly prepared enough, because I'm seeing I'm still missing something.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I'm still missing a hint whatever. But it is the
- 4:29Speaker 1: chance for me to discover something more about me. And
- 4:34Speaker 1: this is actually that what always has motivated me. That
- 4:40Speaker 1: is not going to get boring when you take it
- 4:44Speaker 1: as a life challenge, as a live purpose, find a
- 4:48Speaker 1: way to end the suffering. If you need a life purpose,
- 4:52Speaker 1: that's the one walking through the valley of pain. The
- 4:58Speaker 1: physical training always putting you right onto the limit where
- 5:03Speaker 1: the suffering or the pain that say, starts mentally or physically.
- 5:07Speaker 2: This is the way of growth.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Even if I don't show but I have right now
- 5:15Speaker 1: I have my painful things I go through, but first
- 5:20Speaker 1: of all I see the pain as.
- 5:26Speaker 2: The chance.
- 5:26Speaker 1: This is the one thing and on the other side
- 5:29Speaker 1: is also like this. I can see in the whole
- 5:32Speaker 1: way how this life has also developed for me.
- 5:36Speaker 2: There was no price without investing.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Effort, bottom line, nothing today I am proud of nothing today.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I really appreciate deeply for my heart. Nothing of that
- 5:49Speaker 1: came quick. It always involves a lot of sweat and
- 5:55Speaker 1: suffering and pushing through and having patience and being present system,
- 6:00Speaker 1: being consistent in a way, having hope, not giving up,
- 6:06Speaker 1: and trusting all of these things. And that is why
- 6:11Speaker 1: for me right now, even if I feel it, but
- 6:14Speaker 1: I have a different relationship to it, so it's even
- 6:20Speaker 1: that normally the suffering even doesn't become less. I mean, yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: you are being challenged with more suffering to really see
- 6:31Speaker 1: how much have you learned? How much have you learned?
- 6:41Speaker 1: You talk the whole time, you share the things, how
- 6:44Speaker 1: much have you learned yourself?
- 6:46Speaker 2: I feel I'm tested like this.
- 6:52Speaker 1: To take the suffering, to take determined to in a
- 6:55Speaker 1: way have hope, to trust in something bigger, to trust
- 6:59Speaker 1: in yourself, to build up confidence, to stay disciplined to
- 7:03Speaker 1: take out the laziness, to have consistency.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it comes back again.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Now just applied into something bigger than just yourself. I
- 7:15Speaker 1: can feel the growth in my life. Whatever I do,
- 7:24Speaker 1: I try to sense what is going to be the
- 7:27Speaker 1: consequence of it. If the consequence is more expansion, it's
- 7:33Speaker 1: for me the proper way. This is what motivates me,
- 7:37Speaker 1: because why more expansion? That only means for me, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: am crossing lines, I am crossing borders, I'm crossing a limit.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Why does it matter to me? Because the whole life
- 7:54Speaker 1: I realize that when you are putting limitations to yourself,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you always stay small and never get into the glimpse
- 8:02Speaker 1: of what this complete universe and life actually has for
- 8:07Speaker 1: a potential for you to discover.
- 8:10Speaker 2: But this is dependent upon what.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Is your mindset. You want to stay small, you can
- 8:16Speaker 1: of course stay small. But I have a different mindset,
- 8:20Speaker 1: not saying everybody has to have that one me me
- 8:23Speaker 1: as a human being, I just grew up like this,
- 8:27Speaker 1: constantly searching, constantly wanting to know what is beyond the border.
- 8:35Speaker 2: You can't share what you don't have. Let's start with
- 8:39Speaker 2: this one. You can't share with what you don't have.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Now you had, then that's the unfortunate incident happening in
- 8:48Speaker 1: your lifetime. And you know there are other people as
- 8:51Speaker 1: well in this world who have the same of who
- 8:54Speaker 1: are dealing with similar situations. So what the emphasis is
- 8:58Speaker 1: you want to display to them away which maybe helps
- 9:02Speaker 1: them more easily to move on or also to find
- 9:07Speaker 1: a reasoning to reduce the suffering that derived from it.
- 9:14Speaker 1: The very very first thing I think for you to
- 9:17Speaker 1: do is try out for yourself in order for you
- 9:22Speaker 1: that you can really say.
- 9:26Speaker 2: That you have the.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Answer for it, to have for yourself the answer you
- 9:31Speaker 1: heal yourself from that suffering completely. First, when you have
- 9:35Speaker 1: managed this for yourself and you say, I'm now absolutely
- 9:39Speaker 1: okay with it. I know why and i know how
- 9:42Speaker 1: I'm going to transform this. When you have this piece
- 9:47Speaker 1: of saying this, when you have the piece of feeling
- 9:50Speaker 1: it inside of yourself, then it's the right time to
- 9:52Speaker 1: go out, because now you have it to go out,
- 9:57Speaker 1: but to go out right now, but it's still unsolved
- 10:01Speaker 1: within you, it's just gone on. Also, it's not the
- 10:05Speaker 1: proper way. Yeah, this is why deal with it for
- 10:10Speaker 1: yourself really going And then I think you're going to
- 10:15Speaker 1: find the way.
