You know, different experiencers say different things, but they say that guy doesn't judge you.

You're looking at it saying, oh, crap, you know, I was going to try to be better person to my wife this time around.

And I wasn't, you know, and I did this or I did that or my kids or, you know, and they tell us that the moments that matter.

are the small moments in how you treat other people.

That's the thing you're most proud of, or you're like, damn, I treated that person in grade school.

We all made fun of her, and I should have been her friend.

Those are the things that really matter.

Yes.

So if that's the game, you always think, what's the objective of the game?

Then I think it gives us a very different perspective.

and a way to think about life so so that's one you know kind of big answer for me the other is we go through lots of difficulties in life right go through financial difficulties go through health difficulties right uh and these can seem you know pretty tough but if we just think of them as a quest with the difficulty level right that's higher

that we might have to get through, there might be some purpose to that.

And that ties to the idea of karma, particularly within the Eastern traditions.

Most people think of karma as, hey, you shot me.

I'm going to shoot you in this life.

That's a very simplistic view of karma.

What karma is actually about is about your thoughts, your desires, and your actions, which then create situations in the future

whether in this life or a future life.

So, of course, in the Eastern traditions, you have the reincarnation idea, which you don't necessarily have in the Western traditions.

But that karma is about basically a list of information that follows you around from life to life, right?
