And this figuring out where is really this limit, this is what makes the difference. There is a limit, yes, but this limit still has a... It's like a range of where we can still move inside. And I do think that this as a general line applies to everything if you want to grow. And step by step, by doing so, the comfort zone extends. So how is something new supposed to enter into your life?
Well, there's only one way. Exactly the way that many people are also afraid of right now. Go into the unknown. But that's exactly what it is. If this table is our comfort zone and you just stay on here, you will never know how beautiful London streets are if you just stay here. You need to go into the unknown. You need to slowly walk your, find your way out here.
But that means that going into the uncertainty is nothing bad. For me, I'm really, really happy uncertainty is existing in this world because I cannot imagine how boring it would be if I would already know with certainty where I'm going to be in 20 years.
Some people say, just start reading. I do think that people who do like reading, this is something. Meaning always look for something new to learn. Always realize that the things... able to still be discovered is way bigger than what you think you know. And that means exactly the way of how you also described it now. Exactly. The last 20 times you stayed quiet, the next time you raise your hand.
Whatever it is, just don't stay in the old patterns. Break the cycle. This is where I would say a great potential lies in.
So am I fearless? No. Do I fear a lot of things? No. I do think there's only one thing that ultimately makes you break free from fear. Which is To find a way and wake up from that dream. You don't take things too seriously in this lifetime. To just change, let's put it like this, change the perspective. Rationalize things if you like. It's similar, fear and worry, yes?
At least when I look at my worries I had in the last month, well, for sure, 80%, 90% of all the worries just didn't happen in the first place. 10% might somehow came true, but then again I ask myself, good, so the 10% that came true, even though I had the worries, what could I do about it? Coming to the conclusion... Nothing.
And then something just really started to shift inside of me where I literally let go of something. Let go of this idea that everything is like It's like one directional, that everything that you're going to encounter in this lifetime is going to be beautiful. Everything in this lifetime is going to be peaceful.
Everybody you're going to meet along your journey is going to be well-hearted towards you. No, it's not. Because in the moment where you have well-hearted people, you have ill-willed people. And in the moment where there is success, where you want to be part of the success story, you're going to be part of the failing story.
And in the moment where you want to be part of the light story, you're going to be part of the dark story. This is how it is. This is the world of what we call, it's the world of yin and yang. This is the world of birth and death, of aging and sickness.
And this is why in the ancient traditions more and more, even nowadays, why in the first place there is this whole idea about liberating yourself, breaking free and all of these things.
Yes, I do think it's called RAIN method that has also been taught to me because it's easy to remember. What is it that you're supposed to do? Like I said, in this context of putting it simple, you have set yourself a goal. There are five mental states that could make it difficult for you to reach that goal. Those five mental states are these five hindrances, yes?
Could you read those out for me again? So sensory desire, sensual desire, here, ill will, dullness, sloth, torpor or restlessness, and then ultimately indecisiveness or self-doubt. Now, what does the RAIN method tell you? Number one, it tells you with the R, recognize. Recognize or realize.
So along your journey every day, just sitting somewhere, contemplating, learn to realize in which mental state are you actually finding yourself right now. This is just a recognition, the realization of where you are. The A stands for acknowledge or acceptance.
So even, you know, the second one was called ill will or actually it's called aversion to denying something, pushing something away from you. Very important right now. Same here. You recognize something inside of you, about you. Of course, second one, accepting it, acknowledging it is important. Yes. I, meaning now investigation. Investigation meaning, okay, I see I'm dull. I see I'm restless.
Okay, I accept that I have this feeling right now. Now, investigation meaning, okay, What is it like? How did I get into this state? Have I been there this morning already in that state of being? No, this morning I really felt good. So what happened now since the morning until now that put me in this state of restlessness? To who did I talk to? Was it a message that I received?
What is it ultimately that led to this feeling of restlessness? So really investigating. like a detector investigating so and ultimately then the N difficult one but it is standing for non-identification so and non-identification meaning I mentioned it before even if you just use it as a picture right now as a concept if you want but
Try not to identify your being too much with your body and too much with the mind. And if you don't identify with the body and not identify yourself too much with the mind, also you do not identify yourself too much with all the things that you investigated that you felt like were nourishing your restlessness.
Concepts are concepts, theories are theories. Be careful, be aware of what you are keeping or what are you nourishing in the mind. Never restrict yourself to any concept, never restrict yourself to any identity, never restrict yourself to any type of role whatsoever. What you create, you create, and you can create quite a lot of things. Yeah. Something along these lines, probably.
Yeah, see, just imagine like when I talked before about enduring things, going through my childhood, And always receiving, let's say, to never be enough. But still, I mean... Still, I had this internal fire going to still always give my best, but for the sake of my parents. And so, from the age of four, elementary school, give your best. High school, give your best. Studying, give your best.
