  • SADNESS
    TRANSCRIPT
    From time to time, you're going to feel sad. And you're going to wonder what to do about it and who to approach and how to get around it. Sadness is part of nature, and it's a bit of downtime so that there's three. Let's talk about this for a minute. There's three levels of sadness. There's physical, mental, and spiritual, or let's call it for that for the sake of a better word, emotional. Physical sadness comes when the when our physical body runs out of juice, and that's typically the possibilities typically because we're not Well, typically because our immune system is breaking down. We might be over exercising, but typically the most common reason for sadness in the physical body is that we're living in fight flight we're living in got to where we live in a got to state of mind we're on red alert, so we're always nervous. We're always on the edge. We're always worried that disasters going to come or something's gonna break or we're gonna get fired from our job or divorce from a partner or our partner is going to run away with the milkman or the woman or whatever's gonna happen. We're worried that the sky is gonna fall and this physical experience of being in a state of Red Alert is really expensive. And it results in deep, deep, deep, emotional, sad mental and emotional sadness. But it comes from the physicality of our nervous system being in Red Alert. Balanced centred calm is the solution. balanced mind centred body, calm nerves, the things that trigger our nervous system to make it sad, our fear, guilt, and of course, all the substances that we put into our body that heighten it. So anything that makes your body feel great, is going to make it feel shitty, and therefore sad at the end of the day, so first things first, we deal with the physical because it's the most logical and the most typical of the causes of sadness. The second one is mental sadness, in a mental sense comes from a perception of loss, that we lost something that we could have had something, loss and regret. They go hand in hand. And when we go, gee whiz, I lost an opportunity. I lost a job, I lost some money, I lost my car, I lost my car keys, and sadness will ensue. Sadness is a mask in the mental world for anger. So when a person's going around going I'm really sad that this happened. I'm really sad. What they're basically saying is I'm using sadness to put a cap on what I really feel, which I'm not allowing myself to really feel is the damn anger that something happened that I lost control of, but that went away. That was taken from me was stolen from me. And so, the perception of anger and therefore loss and therefore sadness, which are layers to the same thing in the mental world, can be overcome through the process of abundance that nothing's ever missing. It just changes form and if you lose your car keys or you lose a million dollars or you lose a job, you gained something else in a different form. And everybody's conscious of the idea, live in the now or appreciate and be grateful for what you've got. But when they lose something, they seem to fall out of that paradigm and fall into the anger underneath the table, which is going to kill us all. Because as you will know, anger is the fundamental trigger for the cancer. Growth in the human body. That's the that's the that's the trigger that erodes the immune system. You know that every human being on the planet has things attacking itself right from the get go. And we have an immune system which overcomes that and when the immune system breaks down, or the hammering is perpetual, onto that cellular structure, we create what's called cancer breakdown of the cells. And so even though we might be very stoic, and we might be on railway tracks in terms of our mental state, and our emotional state, when when we get angry, and it's hidden by sadness, that's the most dangerous thing we can have.

  • Golden Handcuffs
    TRANSCRIPT We all wear golden handcuffs when it all boils down, don't we? Something new we really want. sticks its head up out of the trench and suddenly we find ourselves working our butt off in order to pay it off. That's the golden handcuffs secret. And none of us are living in Buddhist monasteries or ashrams. In Nepal, or wherever in Bali. And so we do have commitments on one hand, financial demands on the other hand, and a job from which we derive the income and people will constantly talk about this current concept of a gold pair of golden handcuffs. I remember when I was about 18 years old, my dad said to me by property, because it will make you safe and it will make you work for an objective and I think holding an objective for our work is really important, especially if we can't find purpose in the work constantly to drive us forward. So the motivation to pay our bills and the motivation to buy a bigger house or a better car can be a really strong driving force to cause us to go towards achievement. But what you're going to find out there in the big wide world is there's a lot of yoga teachers and meditation teachers and relaxation teachers and people who are involved in the alternative world who burned out in the corporate world because they were chasing money. And so they're going to say, Money is the problem. I want to teach you how to chillax and relax yourself so you don't go chasing money. But money isn't the problem. The golden handcuffs is not the problem. It's the stoic nature of a human being who says, I know how to handle stress, but the stresses and the cause of the stress is is unnecessary. So therefore I'm going to eliminate the cause, which is me driving towards money and the golden handcuffs. The golden handcuffs are a beautiful thing. They're as sacred as love. They're as conscious as a temple. There is profound as Mount Everest. Golden handcuffs are really a great thing. They're no different to a tree reaching towards the sun. And the gold of golden handcuffs was always from ancient Egyptian times, described as the light of the sun contained in a metal and so driving towards gold driving towards golden handcuffs. It's not a problem. However, if we're so stupid, as to become stressed, and bring that stress home and infect our family, in fact, our health in fact, our our social life, in fact, our relationship to the world around us, and make everything turn ugly. It's not the fault of the handcuffs. It's the stupidity and ignorance and stoic pneus of a human beings sticking to their process and not realising that they've outgrown their childhood ideals of how to handle pressure. And so it's very important for us all to say stress is the gift of God. Stress is the gift of the universe. Stress is nature's message to you saying one little sentence. It's saying evolve your past. It's saying evolve your past. It's saying, Look at the way you're handling life. Look at the way you're handling work. Look at the way you're handling it, and change it because it's not the money. It's not the handcuffs. It's not the work. It's you. It's you stuck in a way of handling life and and the things you do and it hasn't changed, probably in the last 10 years, maybe 20 in the way you handle difficulty the way you handle the fear of failure, the way you handle guilt about the past, the way you handle things. You need a process that evolves that grows you so you handle the pressure and you deserve to earn the gold. That's what I'd suggest. This is Chris You have a beautiful day. Bye for now. You
