So there's a fundamental like bundle of experience.

That's really what you are.

And I think that the best roadmap, if you're trying to figure out what to do in life, try to peel away the layers of your ego.

And I know that's getting complicated.

But if we sort of think about like, you know, what is it that like practically gets us jammed up in life is when I try to be something.

I know this is going to sound weird.

I'm sure you have ambition, but I don't think you are where you are because of your ambition.

I think you are where you are because you listen to this internal voice, not try to live up to external expectations.

Right.

So you are listening to a part of you.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

So it is an internal thing that the world then meets you halfway.

So it makes it possible where there's a whole thing about that.

Yeah.

Right.

So so any desire that you have that comes from the sense organs is probably not this thing.

So the sense organs can trigger something within you.

But if we look at like, you know, social media, half the problem is that the hardest problem I have as a psychiatrist is convincing people that they don't really want the things that they say they want.

It's like so crazy, right?
