Like, that just happens. And don't judge yourself. The real opportunity there is when a thought or feeling or emotion, when any phenomena emerges moment to moment within consciousness, can you bring yourself back to that single point of focus. And that is actually where the happiness and the skill, if you will, lies. It's actually the ability for you to bring yourself back.
There's a fascinating study by these two Harvard dudes, like Killingsworth and Gilbert or something like that. They did a whole study on human happiness. And it said the happiest people were the people that were actually doing what they were thinking about. It sounds so simple. But how often are we doing something, but our mind is just somewhere else?
And this is what this practice enhances, is our ability to yoke action and intention to be right here, right now. And... And I will just color that statement with something that you were talking about before, which is equanimity.
So as part of the Brahma-Vihara, which is sort of these four characteristics of enlightenment in Buddhism, one of them is known as upeka, which is often translated as equanimity. But I think people have a really false notion of what equanimity is. They think it's kind of like limp and conciliatory and lacking of passion. But nothing could be farther from the truth.
Equanimity is the ability to be all here right now with your full passionate self, but unattached to the result of that. And so if you can train your mind to come here now, to be totally passionate about this very moment and this one, right? That is eternal life right there. Because the only time it's ever been and will ever be is right now.
And if you can be there without any other attachment, then That is the great liberation.
Thank you so much, man. I so appreciate this opportunity.
Yeah, people heal in community, period. And yeah, I just want to say that I've seen you work and been for the last couple of years, particularly, we obviously have a relationship that goes beyond that. But you so generously platform people. And I just want to acknowledge how well and how graciously you do that and with a lot of rigor.
and a lot of obviously incredible execution but with tremendous soul and heart so I'm really just a very appreciative of your generosity and how much you give no thank you man it's my honor and I feel I feel lucky being able to just do this you know I really enjoy it and so it's a gift for me as well
That's right.
