The only thing that happens and which is a big part nowadays is if you take your current existence too serious. If you completely base your identity, your being on what you think you are. But like I said, it's just a picture right now, yes? But just sometimes make it very simple. Jump out of yourself and be the director. Be the director of this avatar. And then it just opens another perspective.
Because in that moment, you just realize it's like a movie. Not everything is always positive. But in the moment where there are times of struggle, still not being caught inside your own creation. Identity. Identity, illusion of the self, different expressions for that. It's a very helpful way of thinking. Let's put it like this.
So this is literally... Also, one point that you just mentioned is that it isn't there more. That has always been a part that followed me along the way. Especially now in the last three, four years after social media, the algorithm of social media really started also pushing us quite out there.
More requests were coming of doing workshops, of doing podcasts, of teaching here, of teaching there, of making television show, of participating in movies. And of course, all together with this, doors start to open, different things start to come in. But at some point, I just couldn't believe that this is supposed to be the purpose. Because it all still had to do with doing. The constant doing.
Doing. And there I felt in my life now looking at this, this couldn't be it. So I looked for alternatives always and always again, especially feeling that along the way of what you would say achieving something, being recognized at something, yeah, but there's another side that goes hand in hand with it that the public doesn't see. There were times I could simply be surrounded with like...
Thousands, thousands of people, but still feel lonely. It's not what you're surrounded with. It's with what you are connected. And there I felt like there is always, again, this type of force. What is it that drives you on? Going outwards, going outwards, going outwards, you lose yourself. But this self is the only thing that can give you connection in this life.
Maybe before I answer you this question, there's one thing I maybe want to mention beforehand. So when I went to elementary school and also during my school time, I actually, for example, joined Christian lesson. So by my parents, I grew up with Buddhist tradition, let's say. From the martial art training, I also got introduced into so-called Zen Buddhism.
Because my father always told me, look son, we are here in a foreign country, you're a foreigner. It's always better to have friends than to have enemies. That's why I made always friends with everyone. Meaning I had a lot of Russian friends, I had a lot of Arabic friends, I had a lot of Turkish friends. Multicultural. Also meaning... At some point, I also got introduced into Islam.
Bottom line is, taking all of this knowledge from the past into my mind, no matter from which angle I'm watching right now, I do believe that we all have a source. There is a source. So whether you call that source, it's the universe. Whether you call the source, it is the God. Whether this source is the infinite energy, I don't know. There are so many different expressions to it.
But when I look at all these teachings, all are always pointing at one and the same thing. Let's just take the expression of yin and yang, the symbol everybody knows in the world. And there is that nice saying, yin and yang have a mother. The mother sometimes simply being illustrated as one circle. So yin and yang as the expression from duality, polarity, existence of number two.
Where do the two come from? They must come from one. So simple like in our way, you are there, I am here, one, two, where do we come from? There must be something that we have as a common denominator. And this source is the only thing that can connect us. Because it's not your family. It's not my family. They're still different. That is not enough. Going just looking at we are humans.
Animals same. Whatever and whoever gave us the possibility to be here is the same who gave you the permission, is the same who gave me the permission and the blessing. And this is what I think. This is the level of mind. This is the level of connection that never leaves you lonely. This is the one that I mean. Being connected to the source.
First of all, I cannot speak without it and it would make sense to everyone. That's already the first very, very difficult part. That's why my intention is never to say what is it. The only thing I can do is to give pointers. But ultimately, there's only one person who will be able to find it out. And it's not me finding it out for somebody else. Everybody will find out for himself or herself.
So every human being, I do think, is at a different level of his growth, of his development. And everybody gets what he needs exactly in the moment where he is in. Which is why I think everybody at this moment in time is exactly where he needs to be for the next elevation to take place. The only thing you need to do is look at yourself right now and just find out what is it that makes you unhappy.
What exactly is it that at this moment in your life is binding you and restricting you from moving on. And this is the same question for everyone. But what you ultimately need to tackle is different. In the past, I sometimes played Super Mario and Luigi. Yeah. And it's the same if you don't manage level number one. You won't see level number two. The challenges from number two won't come.
The end boss from number two is not going to come. First you finish level one. But once number one is finished, you won't face the same stuff anymore. And there is something along this line where it sometimes is like a game at the same time. Don't take it so serious. It helps.
Two things that right now would come to my mind. There is always the struggle between doing and being. Doing, I would ask, why are you doing? So why? Why do you want to go into action? Mostly, there is a goal. The goal, why do you have that goal? Because you're aiming at receiving something that in the moment where you have it, apparently you are lacking.
So that means this type of goal setting, in my perspective, I would automatically refer to it already that your goal setting already comes from a space of lack. You feel like you're lacking something. That's why you need to do. You feel like you're lacking something. That's why you need to educate yourself. Okay? So this is the one direction.
Now coming back, maybe it sounds again too philosophical. Connected with the source. There's nothing to add and there's nothing to take away from you. So apparently when somebody has this very, very high ambition of doing something, achieving something, then most likely the chances are there this is not coming from a connection to the source.
It is coming from the idea of wanting to nourish or create an identity, an identity that represents something that you think you want to represent. So this is the one area, the doing versus the being. And then the second thing is that ultimately goes hand in hand. with this way of living your life is that one thing is being forgotten along the line.
