But when you're little like that, like if you've ever been around kids that are like two, ontologically, that is their self-expression, their ways of being are vast.
And they can be lots of different ways.
Like, and it's crazy, you watch them like flip from one, and you're like, oh my God, that's manic, you know?
But you used to be that way.
You used to be that like fully there.
Over time, one decision after another, it's getting narrower and narrower and narrower, such that by the time you reach your late teens, you're pretty much just heading there now.
And a lot of what I've done with people is to get them back to that spot of unabashed aliveness.
I'm just here to be alive, which is what the philosopher Alan Watts said, the meaning of life is to be alive.
There's nothing else.
It's just to go and run with this meat bag and make it do some wild things.
And then it's over.
And people have got their views about the rest of that stuff.
But really, for me, that's it.
It's like to realize first the constraint.
What am I constrained by?
What am I locked in by?
And it's not people.
It's not circumstances.
It's not that.
It's you.
