And the thing that, you know, there's a phrase that I wrote on a T-shirt when I made T-shirts that when in doubt, zoom out.

Like, you know, it's that zoomed out perspective that gives us context for how ridiculous it is that you even exist in this moment right now, that you have the clothing that you have right now, that you have the friends that you have right now, that you remember where you came from or that you remember anything at all.

You know, that appreciation and the goofiness of that

you know, the duality, the dichotomy of like, I'm a being and I've got this and I owe taxes and I'm in debt and I, you know, but then you kind of zoom out and you're like, the fact that you're even able to be here at all having those experiences is fucking stupid.

So for me, that's kind of like,

The consistency throughout my life is that I find almost everything, no matter how tragic it is, on a certain level.

And I'm not dismissing the weight of it or the pain of it.

That's not it at all.

It's a divine, loving humor where I'm like, yeah, that's really shitty, but ultimately...

it doesn't really matter.

It does matter, but it's not, it doesn't matter to throw it away.

It's just, I'm just saying like, it doesn't ultimately matter because you are consciousness.

You are part of the collective consciousness and you're remembering, we're actively trying to remember ourselves.

Yeah, I mean, it's like, yeah, the idea of like the meaning of life, like why are we here?

But I really think it's so basic and it's so hard for us to believe, which is that

It is just, we're just, we're just doing this ourselves.

This is a collective, all of consciousness, all the permutations of possibilities of realities.

It's like we're localized to this one experience, but we, but we are all collectively co-projecting and deciding and agreeing on this reality.

Even like the, the, the shittiest stuff that you can imagine or the shittiest things that people have done.

all throughout history all that will be done in the future and all the joy that's happening all this stuff it's like it's just the celebration of doing it you know and we do it within our lives right it's like why are you why are you guys doing this dumb thing over here it's like oh because we just want to that's what it is it's always been that you know and so that's why like an experience is even meditation is a great one like uh you know where you finally break through and you have this like
