This world is filled with so much choice that it's difficult to take a decision which direction to go, what is right to do. And so there is a lot of suffering with the skills that you are developing through Kung Fu training involves methods and practices that give you the ability to do this. But there are five hindrances that make it difficult for you to still keep your goal in the mind.
There is sensory desires, ill will, dullness, restlessness, and then self-doubt.
I do think that in this world there have always been different streams, different forces, one of them leading to the betterment of humanity, one of them leading to the destruction of humanity. And I do think that there are types of wisdom and knowledge existing out there that very easily without any additional knowledge Help for anything else can be very useful for the people nowadays.
You don't need to go anywhere. The only thing you need to do is take a moment, contemplate about yourself, go into yourself and find the answers there and then decide for yourself which part and what type of contribution would you like to make gift to the world that you're living in. I ultimately think this is what I'm doing.
I would say it's diversity and choice. This world is filled with so much choice, meanwhile, that it's difficult in a way to take a decision which direction to go, what is right to do, what is not right to do. But ultimately, it's only yourself who knows the answer, which means it comes to the essential point, learn more about yourself. This is where it starts.
Because if you have the wrong perspective of who you are, what you are, everything else in this lifetime you base your decisions on is just not going to be placed in the right direction.
So being perfectly honest, I usually do not very much rely on what the people tell me, what they think, what problem they have. It's just that I look and I can see already what I think. And foremost, one of these, and it's very simple, non-religious, nothing about believing. It simply is the fact you don't use your body as it is intended to be. Very simple.
You sit, many people sit too much during the day. The body is not active at all. A lot of work, a lot of energy investment is done with the mind. Less energy investment is done really with the body. And that simply means, for me, I can see there's a disbalance. Whoever created us, he did not create us to sit with our butt on one place and do thinking work the whole time.
I do think a part of why we have been created is to get out on the field and just do something out there.
Unbalanced energies that can translate into anxiety, that can translate into dissatisfaction, that can translate into continuously searching and never being satisfied. And the most common thing, not realizing how precious the moments are that you have. And instead of replacing them with illusions and dreams and assumptions, which are just not real. Meaning everybody is not even Buddhist.
It's not Shaolin. It is common understanding. We don't know if we wake up tomorrow. It is like this. But our plans go. We have five years plans, ten years plans. We have short-term, mid-term plans. The truth is we don't know if we wake up tomorrow. So, of course, I don't want to make it sound negative, so just live in the present moment without planning. This is not what I'm saying.
But this is the challenge nowadays. How do you balance out vision with reality? Real, the only thing real right now is this. That's real for us. I can feel it, you can hear it, you can sense it. This is real.
So absolutely, there is the field of becoming conscious. Consciousness is a big field. Then we have science. This is another very, very big field. So some say, okay, is it that consciousness creates matter, or is it the other way around? Which one is the fundamental basis? What is the basis of our interaction?
So the truth is, the fact right now is, regardless of science, no science, how our evolution developed, right now we are here. Your body, my body, we are here. This is what we are having right now. At the same time, in the way of how this lifestyle at the moment is, we won't have more than 50 more years to go in that body. So very simple, without believing, without any religious aspect.
Once again, the truth is the lifetime of what you carry right now and what I carry right now, it's limited. And now just imagine you would be, let's say, the director of your own movie. Jump out of the body and watch yourself. Right now, you are sitting like with Sheheng Yi. We sit on the same table, and you are writing your story. How do you want to write the story?
You want to afterwards, after this podcast, you want to like feel uncomfortable, feel unsafe, feel unloved, feel like being just unsatisfied with the whole life, cry or anything like this. Or how do you imagine what is a really nice way of living for you the next 50 years? So, and based on that, purpose can be different. You say, I do like to travel.
I do like to invest this lifetime in this body to have the feeling at least that I can contribute something to all the fellow brothers and sisters that are around there. It makes me like I wake up. I like to do it. It gives me purpose. So it is something very, very personal.
Which also means that in a way, speaking in these terms right now, I do not believe that every human being has the same purpose when it comes to this type of purpose. But now there's another type of purpose, which is more or less personally for me, why do I think... that in the first place we have been put with all these possibilities.
And positively said, I do think it is a blessing being able to just experience. It's a blessing that we have been granted the possibility of simply experiencing
experiencing what this existence is capable of creating including everything including the joy including the happiness including the tears including the heartbreaks all of this without the separation whether you prefer one area or not the one sometimes the one goes with the other But the purpose in a way is just be and experience.
