Shi Heng Yi

We want to make ourselves a name.

We want to have some type of acknowledgement.

The easy way, no, it's not the easy way.

Transparent meaning, you're fine with being no one.

You're fine with being nothing.

And now it sounds super paradox, especially right now being in LA and mentioning that one, being no one.

This is not what the culture in the West is built upon.

It's always built upon do something with your lifetime, become someone.

But the problem is, again...

You are creating an avatar.

You are creating a persona.

You are creating a role.

You are creating an identity.

But whoever brought us here, whatever brought us here, I cannot believe that this power brought us here incomplete for you to figure out along the way what you need to create.

Meaning the more you try to become someone, the more unauthentic you become because you're moving away of what you are all the time.

And this is why again and again, I love it.

And it's a super interesting journey.

And this is where also in the traditional teachings there is the illusion of the self, the illusion of the I, the artificial creation of the self.

Know thyself.

Which self?
