The Dr. Hyman Show · How to Break Free from Suffering: A Guide to Finding Inner Peace · 2 Dec 2024 podcast
it's an education process and but it's a higher id the id part means higher you know intense education yeah because you're educating your whole being your mind and your body you're at also and this i love that you said you know our body You know, in your book, you say we have to do something with our body. Our body is, we are responsible for our body. When we save our body, we save the world.
That's just... That's the fourth noble truth. That's the fourth noble truth. That is the education process. And it's like really a doctor with a patient. You know this, and you call it functional medicine. But every doctor should do that. They have to educate the patient. The patient has gone wrong in this beautiful environment that is just suited for the human being.
It's a perfect one for us if we didn't mess it up. You know, the plants are out there. They're in love with us. Give me your carbon, they say. Oh, I love that you breathe this carbon, noxious carbon, and I'm going to give you back oxygen because I love you. And it's a total gangbang with the plants.
But not if we screw them up, not if we mess them up.
Well, thank you for asking that, that's good, and that's a great question. And the thing is this, first of all, you know, it is a suffering, but Just it also, you know first thing and first wisdom of Buddhism is ancient English Buddhism count your blessings You know if you're if you have if you're Isolated, but don't have the virus.
Hey, that's better than being sick If you have the virus, but you don't have a severe case, that's better than having Dying if you're dying
in a at least you know you're going to have another good life if you notice that you're dying and you you can't help it and you then realize you're not going to be nothing and also just because you believe in somebody else is going to help you that necessarily is not good
But if you develop a positive view and relax yourself and let go into the light and you know, and there's movies that teach you how to do that, like Jacob's ladder, like, like ghosts, you know, there are movies even nowadays that help you do that.
and you just let go or you know close encounter of the third kind or uh 2010 you just go into one of those special effects zoom you know you let go of yourself and then you'll be you'll be out of the body you know so in other words no matter what there's no worst case
analysis that that is the ultimate horror no buddhism teaches you to look for the silver lining and focus on that on the other hand it doesn't teach you passively to accept
the bad stuff and therefore you can demand that the government pay your unemployment insurance you can demand that they'd they stopped a bank from foreclosing on your mortgage you can demand that they take the hundreds of billions that they give to the corrupt corporations and they give it to you and
to grow your garden and they start subsidizing regenerative agriculture yeah and they and they move 20 billion we give 20 billion dollars of direct subsidy to the oil industry which they use to lobby the government to buy the congressmen, like the Moscow Mitch, and other corrupt, also corrupt Democratic congressmen. And the president, they buy the president. Presidents are cheap.
You give him a million dollars for his campaign and you get billions of dollars of subsidy. That's a total, that's like hiring somebody on the street.
Well, some not. When they understand Buddhism as meaning, shut yourself up in your shut down mind and just sit there and take the pain of sitting there uncomfortably.
Well, of course they are. They not only activists, but they are activists to be a political, any kind of activist has to be an educational activist that, you know, you don't hate the bad guys. You want to educate them. Sometimes people are harming you and you have to, you know, like even with demons, you know, the Buddhists usually try not to kill the demons.
they try not to now and then you know you have to have been self-defense by accident you know some bomb goes off but they try to capture them sit them down and get into the classroom with them they have these legends of interminable multi-life lectures going on with the demon and then the demons shape up
Once they realize that that's not going to make them happy to harm people and harm other beings, that never makes you happy, because that increases your isolation. If you're harmful to someone, that means you don't identify with them, and that means you're different from them, so you're divided up the world and you have stuck yourself in isolation.
So the fact that we're all in isolation now, if we are under a sensible government, And with helping us to do that, to stop the plague, because our human life is so valuable, because it can give us the opportunity to understand the world, that is only showing us, actually, that we normally live in isolation. People are lonely. They are shut down.
They go on Facebook instead of having a friend who's their neighbor. They don't build their community. They're purposely isolated by industrialization. Because that makes them potential brainwashable consumers. They can do, as you said, 4,000 ads shown to children about some disgusting, poisonous, sugary...
color thing they have to they get brainwashed by their deep by the media so they don't want them to hang with their parents and the parents would who know about have a good doctor sell them don't eat that stuff don't drink that nasty diabesity drink yes
