And we keep trying to jump out of that biodiversity into this loneliness and into this rarefied environment where we can't breathe. We got to fall back in the water at some point. And something that I've experienced since our last time together is a sudden realization of why everything I've created the last 15 years has kept collapsing around me. And it was largely because I was
trying to build and live from my heart and it was a refreshing place to be in because before that i had been up in my head and for the 30 years i had spent my head 17 years out in academia multiple subspecies medicine trying to think trying to control nature through my my own knowledge

it was such a relief to get in my heart i think that's the moment i came i became the fish that would stop trying to jump out of the water and started just like going to the water and i was so happy in the water when i got there and well oh my god this is nirvana i've reached And so I was experiencing, you know, the water. And every day I was like, oh my gosh, there's so much love.

I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of love I feel, which is actually an expression of the beauty that I see. I can see so much more beauty when I'm in this torrent of energy that's coming through a human heart. And so I was like, oh, this is incredible. This must be where I, so I built companies and nonprofits.

And I built family from there, and I built, you know, friend network, everything else, and it was so unstable. And we destabilized one another in our effort to hold on to each other because we were all told we should be in the heart. The result of that, personally, was so much heartbreak that I can't even really put a word to it.

That amount of heartbreak finally shattered my heart so that I could no longer stay in that container. And the final blows kind of came in December and January this year. And that final shattering fell me out of it. I found myself in a very, very quiet place. And so that's a long story into what is it that we're striving towards as human beings.

And in looking from that still space with me back up to heart, I'm realizing that we are supposed to be witnessed to the world from a silent space. So we're not imprinting or becoming codependent with what we may call love.

And so if you're really a step into your full humanity, I think you're going to find yourself into an extreme state of stillness and a willingness to see the beauty without owning it, without having any codependence on it, without thinking you're the source of the love that's going to come to that entity. And so I'm recreating my whole world over the last few months now.
