what I would call true depression.

But what most people experience, what I'm trying to describe, is that they come to a point where their actual life is meaningless.

There's no more meaning anymore.

And so they feel, what do I do now?

And then what they add is a sense of collapse.

So

being being, just being your deepest self,

without collapse is the man of zero.

Being, being, and then collapsing, literally collapsing, contracting in your solar plexus, hunching over, kind of getting in that dark, you know, what am I doing?

Mulling things over.

That's depression.

So if you subtract the doing, if you go to true zero, so you're not even doing contraction, you're not doing slouching, you're not doing the mulling of the thoughts,

then what's left is B without collapse.

And that's the man of zero.

One way, there are several ways, but one way would be to... So let's take this moment now.

If you're thinking thoughts in this moment, let's say those thoughts were, my friends are succeeding or my friends, you know, everything that you just said, those are thoughts that are going by.

If you can see those thoughts or witness those thoughts, you see them come and go.

Like there's a beginning of a thought, there's a thought, it's over, now it's another thought.

So there's these thoughts that are moving.

And it's not that difficult to see that you're still there.
