So then, the very rush of those stress hormones draws from this invisible field of vital life force, this invisible field surrounding the body of energy, and it's turning it into chemistry.

And chronic stress keeps tapping the body's vital resource, and in time, we start feeling more like matter and less like energy, more like particle and less like wave.

And when you feel like you are matter trying to change matter, there's only a certain number of things you can do.

You can fight for it.

You can race to get it.

You can compete.

You can manipulate.

You can control, predict.

You can do the basic things because we only have a certain number of resources when we're matter trying to change matter.

So then the very chemicals of stress, when we narrow our focus on an object or a thing or a person,

The very nature of narrowing our focus on matter causes us to feel separate from everyone and everything.

So the very chemicals of stress heighten the senses, and now we're materialists, and we have separation from everybody and everything.

We don't experience connection in any way.

And in fact, when you're in the state of survival,

You're not going to learn.

You're not going to want to create.

You're not going to want to go within.

You're not going to want to open your heart.

You're not going to want to be vulnerable.

It's not the time to do that.
