And when you start treating them as separate entities and have curiosity about them and start having conversations with them, you start to realize they're automatic processes that come online that you can then give them other jobs to do. And you can change your personality permanently for the better.

I've gotten rid of some behaviors that I thought were unchangeable through IFS, nervousness, types of nervousness, types of reactions to people talking to me and realizing that these were all just automatic functions of how I show up and react to any kind of perception or stimulus in the world. And it wasn't about the person I was dealing with. It was about me.

In general, it's usually all about how you... handle anything coming at you. A friend of mine said something really powerful to me once, which was, if people are coming with you with anything but love, it's not about you.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I feel flawed. You're going to hear people talk about when they talk about spirituality, about being asleep and And what being asleep means is going back into your mechanical automatic reflexes of reacting to life and just sort of not being truly present. And if I have a flaw, it's just the flaw of being human and not realizing that I'm not being present in the moment.

And so that's something that I want to grind away at and fix over time. I think that sometimes I can be reactive to things in ways that I wish I wasn't. So I'm working on those things. None of us is perfect. I think the whole experiment of life, if you are an infinite being, let's just pause at this for a moment.

If you're an infinite being, being in a body is meant to basically give you artificial constraints. And what if it was possible that maybe you even chose these restraints? I want to be in this situation. I want to overcome this adversity. I want to have this hardship. I want these things and I wanted them. And so I've got to figure out how to get to the other side of them.

You've got to look back at Hollywood and how it was founded. The old studio system, all of the artists used to work for the studio. And they were on payroll. And then what happened was they became wildly successful and then fans loved them, but they had no upside. So basically they had no way to really capture any of this fan engagement.
