Buddhism, the first noble truth is we grasp that suffering and things continue and they go onward and we grow and we learn.
And for me, I had to grasp
that we're not just cells and neurons and bodies that were more out of the experience.
And that, and I feel that to this day that, you know, I feel my brother's with me and that there's something beyond what I thought was all that there is to nature.
I even felt it when you were describing this gospel concert, I started to feel my body change and we've made a lot of progress in understanding that.
And what we know is a couple minutes of awe reduces physical pain, it reduces long COVID symptoms, it benefits your heart by activating what's called the vagus nerve, this big bundle of nerves in your chest that calms your body down, like you said.
it reduces inflammation in the body.
The immune system heats up your body to kill pathogens.
If you feel chronically threatened by poverty or racism or misogyny, your body will be heated up, inflamed.
It's a very troubling condition for your health.
Awe cools down that system.
I mean, it's amazing.
And so it makes me bullish in promoting this to medical doctors.
It is.
And we call these the self-transcendent emotions where you get out of the self and really appreciate what's around you.
Reverence, like you said, very much love that word.
Gratitude is really not as mysterious as awe.
And it's really about
More concrete things in your world.
Yeah, that you appreciate.
