If we look at like the consciousness is the top of the iceberg, you know, outside the top, outside the water.

So is what's underneath like shifting and it can pull the top under, right?

Or is it supporting the top?

And really, I believe is honesty, truth, self-knowledge, humility, gratitude, all this simple stuff.

Good mental health is always consistent with simplicity.

You know, humility, gratitude are easy things to say.

Like, we know what that is, right?

We understand what that is.

Soothing envy by having immense power and subjugating others is getting very, very complicated, right?

What that is and how that plays out.

So if we are in touch with ourselves, if we're honest with ourselves, if we own what's ours, we don't try and own what's not ours, right?

What happens then is something isn't waiting inside of us to sort of jump us with some new fact of self or challenge of self, right?

Then I think what happens are phenomena like intrinsic learning, like the way that so much happens inside of us automatically, right?

How people who have high levels of expertise know the answer to complex questions more rapidly, right?

It doesn't take them longer to think through it, but they have more knowledge to think through.

It's that more happens rapidly and unconsciously, so they know the more complex answer more

more quickly and readily, right?

And we can build that in ourselves, not just in terms of factual knowledge, but in terms of how we respond to things, right?

If I make a mistake, do I respond with reflexive shame, right?

If I see someone has something I'd like, how do I respond?
