Maybe it's less linear thinking, it's more lateral, I'm making connections that I might not otherwise make.

Is it in that still, in that quiet, where you're able to look at what's bubbling up from beneath the limbic system, your emotional life, you're able to look at that without judgment,

And then able to say, okay, but this is what I'm trying to do sort of consciously.

These are my plans and all of that.

And now how do I, are you altering either of them or are you beginning to say, I need to understand if this is a useful emotional driver or a destructive emotional driver?

Like what is that process?

Yeah.

Oh man.

So, so powerful and putting into action.

I'm really seeing exactly how it begins to, um, allow.

And I think truth is probably the, what you call hyper-realism, the getting to such an objective look at what is true.

Um,

And going back to sort of an objective look at that emotional state Which I think is where a lot of people struggle one of the biggest and most profound Probably the only lightning rod moment in my life where it's like whoa my life can be divided into before that literal like instantaneous recognition and after everything is completely different and that was the first time where I realized that

that I was being driven by something that I had not yet recognized, which was I was telling everybody that I wanted to generate wealth in my life, but I was acting like I just wanted people to tell me that I was smart.

The friction between those hit this collision.

At the time, I was just a copywriter, and the guys who would later become my partners at the time were my employers.

We got in this huge fight over something stupid.

I was arguing and arguing and arguing for my idea.

I needed my idea to win because they were just so much farther ahead than me.

They were smarter than me in that they can process data faster.
