has this conception of the world that says, well, these people that are supporting me are absolutely necessary to my well-being. So if I've got a problem with them, the world is full of demons and I cannot bear to exist. So what must be going on here is that I'm not good enough for them. I did something wrong. There's something bad about me. I need too much. I'm

You know, the twig gets bent in the first months of life. And then we all bump into various small and large traumas along the way and internalize all of those into our self-concept. It's always this shame-based feeling of the essential self that I am is somehow just wrong.

It's funny that you use the term physics because I wrote a book called The Way of Integrity where I said you have to be in the truth, the truth of your own experience. And integrity was not meant in a moral sense, but in a structural sense. A plane that's in structural integrity can fly. A plane that's not in integrity often can't fly or will crash or whatever.

So what happens, I think, is that you start to look at And I said in the book, it's not morality, it's just physics. So here you have a worldview and a set of beliefs. And if it's in perfect integrity, that is all your sense of what is true at all levels of your body, mind, heart, soul, if they're all in alignment, there is no psychological suffering.

If you have psychological suffering, if there's anything wrong with your mood, your relationships, your career, anything, the physics are off. And in there somewhere is something that's out of true. And that will always, 100% of the time, sometimes it's a trauma, an internalized trauma that happens at a very physical level. But most of the time, it's a story held in the brain very deeply.

And it gives us a message that we're not safe and things are not okay. And that's out of alignment with the truth. It may be absolutely in accord with what we're taught in our culture in school. You know, a kid is dyslexic and he's failing at everything. The school will say, yeah, you're wrong.

Some things, if they don't know he has dyslexia, you're not trying enough, you're not working up to potential. And he internalizes that as self-hatred and shame. But it's wrong. So the physics won't work. So he can't move forward. He can't feel at peace. He can't be settled. And it will not leave us alone. Any failure of integrity causes structural issues that make our lives unable to work well.
