That's it, yeah.

So I know this sounds crazy, but the reason the world is going to hell right now is because technology has taken away our awareness.

Anytime you use technology, you lose yourself.

That's what we love about it.

We don't realize how we're being programmed, right?

So if you look at it like, I mean, I had this problem when I was in med school

You know, I would wake up in the morning, I would listen to a lecture while I was cooking breakfast, eating while I'm listening to a lecture,

earbuds are in, walk into the train, studying on the train, walk into the lecture hall, because I needed to be efficient.

But I was never, I was always like externalizing my focus.

I wasn't just with here.

And I did something that people think is insane.

So I was studying a ton and I saw everyone around me is studying a ton.

So monkey see, monkey do, right?

And I wasn't doing the best.

And I was like, this is not working for me.

So thankfully I had spent seven years starting to become a monk and

I just paid attention to myself.

I was like, this is not working.

So I made up this plan where I would wake up at 4.30 every morning.

I would study for two hours before I went to class.
