That hasn't happened before, really, if you look at the theme.

So when I take your particular case, I can digress into it, but I won't.

I'll come back to that in a second.

Almost everything that happens has happened many, many times before.

And just like I described, there's the hero's journey and there's this and that, there's that particular path, and the whole thing happens over and over again.

So my reaction to what you're saying is, yeah, that's absolutely right.

That's a winning strategy.

So if you step back from that and you write, okay, what happened to you?

What happened to you is what we're talking about.

You went above yourself, okay?

So you exemplify it.

Okay, here are the things.

You went above yourself.

Now you could have had the ego thing, the big O barrier.

Okay, the ego barrier is gonna be the thing that's sort of gonna kill you.

Then by reconciling what your subliminal desires were, okay, I wanna be judged as smart.

And then connecting that with your intellect and saying, okay, now intellect, what is really going on here?

Okay.

And then to be able to step out of that.

Now, you just did it alone, but you could do it with others and it's even better.
