And so if you reset it stupidly or reactively or something like that, then, yeah, I suppose you risk blowing up your life. But let me just describe what I think is down there, what I've found down there is that at the center of the center, like the holy of holies of our mind and heart and life, It's a meaning frame. Of course, it's not just one, but there are meaning frames.

That is, well, what things mean to us, how we – when we're looking at a set of data or circumstances, how we interpret it. And we are – Whatever we are, we are meaning machines. I mean, we are constantly sort of trying to make sense of where somebody said it that way. What does that mean? You know, oh, they said it with a slightly different tone of voice. What does that mean?

You know, like we're constantly trying to map meaning in others and ourselves. Now, here's the thing. It's not just a meaning frame. It's what I've come to describe as a frozen meaning frame. And this is how it works. You have a true... There's a meaning frame that's based in truth that has got locked like two magnets with something not true.

And then because it's happening so deep in us and so subconsciously, we then just move forward in life with that being locked. And we don't even know that that's operating us. It's an operating system and it's shaping a hundred decisions, a thousand decisions. And we don't even know why. And so then people at the surface are trying to say, well, that habit's not really the habit I want.

And let me read a book about habits and then I'll be able to change it and I can move the food out and I can get rid of all the rubbish food. And yet somehow I'm always eating food. You know, sometimes, somehow, even though I know all those stuff, I can't stop doing it. Why? Because they're operating at the surface. You have to get to the center. Let me give you a single illustration of this.

I was working with a very intelligent PhD student, great husband, great father, great in his faith. But in his actual career work, he just can't get any motivation. And he's doing really well. He's at one of the top universities. So on the surface, again, it looks fine, but he knows inside there's no meaning here. And I can't seem to thrive in this environment. And he doesn't know why.

So we go through this rapid listening process to be able to go from the surface down, down, down, always knowing, at least I know there's something at the center. We don't know what it is yet. And we find what it is together in about an hour. So it was quite rapid. His sister had died when he was young.
