00:00:00
your attention is the most valuable
00:00:02
resource in your life and everyone is
00:00:05
after it we live in a world that's
00:00:07
highly optimized to distract you right
00:00:10
and suck your energy because your energy
00:00:13
follows what you give your attention to
00:00:16
advertisers are trying to get your
00:00:17
attention right now I'm getting your
00:00:19
attention other people are getting your
00:00:21
attention Etc so you have to selectively
00:00:25
choose what you actually give your
00:00:28
attention to some and some people give
00:00:31
you energy when you give your attention
00:00:33
to them and other things and people just
00:00:36
take it from you so you need to actually
00:00:39
really pay attention to the quality of
00:00:42
the interaction that you are having with
00:00:45
the thing or person that you are giving
00:00:47
your attention to with the food right
00:00:50
with the Habit with the content that you
00:00:53
consume if something is always just
00:00:55
taking your energy and taking and taking
00:00:56
and taking this is just going to leave
00:00:59
you drained and numb and dull and you
00:01:01
can't really live a profound life you
00:01:03
can't really self-actualize and self
00:01:06
transcend if you're habitually drained
00:01:10
by various things in the external world
00:01:13
so some things and people just take your
00:01:14
energy and they just suck your attention
00:01:16
other things actually get it and then
00:01:18
they give to you because well they
00:01:20
actually care they have a high enough
00:01:22
moral development to the point where
00:01:23
they actually will care about you so I I
00:01:26
want to actually list some examples now
00:01:29
some very extreme examp examples so you
00:01:30
get a very clear idea of what I'm
00:01:32
talking about and I'm saying that your
00:01:35
attention is the most valuable resource
00:01:37
in your life right so your energy
00:01:39
follows your attention and what you give
00:01:41
your attention to has formative powers
00:01:44
or not formative Powers it has a
00:01:46
formative effect on your mind and your
00:01:49
life right so some examples of this are
00:01:51
reading a book for 12 hours versus
00:01:55
mindlessly scrolling on Instagram for 12
00:01:57
hours right we can see from this very
00:01:59
clear extreme difference that one is
00:02:02
going to have a very profound effect on
00:02:04
your mind where the other one is just
00:02:06
going to be sucking your energy and just
00:02:07
taking your energy usually just for
00:02:10
personal gain for a very selfish motive
00:02:12
it's kind of like sick and twisted
00:02:14
actually another good example is
00:02:16
practicing meditation for 1 hour a day
00:02:19
versus eating hot dogs and watching TV
00:02:21
for 1 hour a day this is going to a huge
00:02:24
shift that occurs over time just based
00:02:28
off of simple things like this right
00:02:31
basically what you repeatedly give your
00:02:33
attention
00:02:34
to so you get to choose what you give it
00:02:37
to the problem is that Humanity has
00:02:39
figured out how to hijack your attention
00:02:41
Humanity's figured out how to manipulate
00:02:44
you to give you or to how to manipulate
00:02:49
you so that you give things and people
00:02:51
your attention so that you just like
00:02:53
mechanically buy from them or just help
00:02:56
them with their own agenda and their
00:02:59
agenda doesn't actually give you any
00:03:01
value right I have there's nothing wrong
00:03:03
with making money or advertising or
00:03:06
technology the problem is when this
00:03:08
stuff is used in a exclusively selfish
00:03:11
way that doesn't actually provide
00:03:13
meaningful and healthy value to people
00:03:14
and people are just addicted to this
00:03:18
junk so the problem is basically that
00:03:21
people have figured out how to
00:03:22
manipulate you right social media um
00:03:25
news and media junk food gaming online
00:03:28
shopping streaming in Services Etc
00:03:31
various companies and stuff have
00:03:34
basically figured out how to exploit you
00:03:36
right so that you just get sucked into
00:03:39
things right and they actually create
00:03:41
addictions within your own psyche so you
00:03:43
actually get addicted to things that are
00:03:45
dysfunctional for you right and you
00:03:47
don't really know any way out especially
00:03:50
because this is baked into our culture
00:03:53
most people don't really know other ways
00:03:56
of being in the world they just see what
00:03:57
everyone else is doing and they just do
00:03:59
that
00:04:00
because this is just how they've been
00:04:01
programmed they just watch TV and eat
00:04:03
junk food and scroll on their phone they
00:04:06
don't meditate or clean up their diet or
00:04:09
go on meditation Retreats or um you know
00:04:12
Etc self-actualized self transcend they
00:04:14
don't really know any other
00:04:15
possibilities that exist so without
00:04:18
learning how to protect your attention
00:04:20
right and give it to what's meaningful
00:04:22
and healthy for you it will end up
00:04:24
getting sucked into something unhealthy
00:04:26
rather fast in our modern world because
00:04:28
there's so much unhealthy
00:04:30
garbage that is just so stimulating it's
00:04:34
just so easy to grab your attention when
00:04:37
you have no discipline when you have no
00:04:39
impulse control when you have no vision
00:04:40
for your life when you're not clear
00:04:42
about your values and who you want to
00:04:44
become when you don't live your life by
00:04:46
a certain set of principles right when
00:04:48
you don't have any psychological
00:04:50
structure to build your life upon your
00:04:52
psyche is just easily distracted easily
00:04:56
infected right so you actually have to
00:04:59
counter all that noise that is trying to
00:05:01
infect your mind and focus your
00:05:03
attention on what's meaningful and
00:05:05
healthy for you you need some kind of
00:05:06
boundary some way to counter all the
00:05:10
external BS all the external noise
00:05:12
that's actually just trying to infect
00:05:14
you for personal
00:05:16
gain right so this is why you actually
00:05:18
need to know yourself right that's what
00:05:20
the Greek said they say know
00:05:22
thyself right you have to actually
00:05:24
uncover your values take personality
00:05:28
tests read books study
00:05:30
psychology right practice meditation
00:05:32
connect with like-minded individuals
00:05:35
spend time in nature eat for nutrition
00:05:37
not to escape
00:05:39
yourself and sit this one's my favorite
00:05:43
sit in an unstimulating and undistracted
00:05:45
room by yourself have you ever noticed
00:05:47
how you can't really do this you jump
00:05:49
for stimulation all the time you always
00:05:51
have to be doing something you always
00:05:52
have to be escaping yourself
00:05:55
essentially this is really what's going
00:05:57
on and our call culture is not really
00:06:01
going to change anytime soon there's
00:06:03
going to continue to be an endless
00:06:05
bombardment of advertisements and new
00:06:07
games and new TV shows and new crap for
00:06:11
you to spend your money on new material
00:06:13
garbage that doesn't actually really do
00:06:14
very much for you and just sucks your
00:06:16
energy for you to be spending your money
00:06:18
on right it's basically this ridiculous
00:06:20
amount of stimulation that's completely
00:06:22
unhealthy for you causes all sorts of
00:06:24
mental illness and just cracks and holes
00:06:27
in your
00:06:27
psyche and it's all being done really
00:06:31
for the benefit of others right you're
00:06:33
actually just being exploited so you
00:06:35
need to figure out how to protect
00:06:36
yourself from this so your entire life
00:06:37
does not yet sucked away that's why I
00:06:40
said give me a few minutes of your
00:06:41
attention right and I'll save you years
00:06:43
I literally talk to people who say they
00:06:45
spend 10 hours a day scrolling on their
00:06:48
phones
00:06:50
right and it's not just phones it's it's
00:06:53
all forms of distractions and just
00:06:55
highly stimulating garbage that just
00:06:57
infects your body your mind mind your
00:07:00
awareness right your whole experience of
00:07:02
yourself really your being your soul
00:07:05
right you need to actually have strong
00:07:07
boundaries with this stuff be aware of
00:07:08
this stuff and actually have structures
00:07:10
and habits in your life that counter
00:07:12
those things various principles and
00:07:13
values that actually counter that stuff
00:07:15
so that you can be healthy because we
00:07:17
live in a extremely sick
00:07:20
world right and of course we're not
00:07:22
taught this in school ever it's not
00:07:24
shown on the media on the news at night
00:07:27
of course not right so you need to
00:07:29
defend yourself from the numb existence
00:07:31
that most people are unfortunately
00:07:33
living due to ignorance you need to
00:07:35
defend yourself against the constant
00:07:37
bombardment of distractions our culture
00:07:38
is built on escaping reality escaping
00:07:41
ourselves and escaping the present we
00:07:43
can't just be present in our existence
00:07:45
we can't sit in an unstimulating
00:07:47
undistracted room by ourselves without
00:07:50
freaking
00:07:51
out right we get bored angry we're just
00:07:54
too neurotic we're too addicted we have
00:07:56
all these coping mechanisms to just
00:07:57
escape and avoid right so our culture is
00:08:01
just built on escapism and basically the
00:08:04
avoidance of unprocessed pain really
00:08:07
from childhood stuff we've been running
00:08:08
from over and over and over again we're
00:08:10
in this constant cycle of just pain
00:08:12
avoid pain avoid pain avoid and all this
00:08:15
emotional pain especially doesn't go
00:08:17
anywhere gets stored in the body and it
00:08:19
plays itself out in a cyclical fashion
00:08:22
it Cycles it come back around to bite
00:08:24
you in the ass over and over and over
00:08:26
again you're always avoiding right
00:08:28
you're never cleaning up what's going on
00:08:30
inside you you remain stuck in a cycle
00:08:33
so you need to pay attention to how you
00:08:34
feel when your attention is absorbed in
00:08:36
certain things feel the quality of the
00:08:38
energy that certain things actually give
00:08:41
to you certain foods right when you wake
00:08:43
up in the morning right pay attention to
00:08:45
the quality of the energy that um waking
00:08:48
up and scrolling does for you versus
00:08:50
waking up and meditating or waking up
00:08:53
and having some water with with you know
00:08:55
squeeze some lemon into it waking up and
00:08:57
going for a run spending time in nature
00:08:59
waking up and reading or
00:09:02
journaling right basically as you go
00:09:04
about your day giving your attention to
00:09:06
certain things notice the felt
00:09:08
experience and the energetic flow
00:09:10
between you and the thing that you are
00:09:12
interacting with right the people right
00:09:16
there's always an energy
00:09:18
transaction basically between you and
00:09:20
what you give your attention to right
00:09:23
when you really practice a lot of Med
00:09:24
meditation you get very sensitive to
00:09:26
this you become very aware of this you
00:09:28
can't ignore this anymore this is just
00:09:29
your lived experience it's like the the
00:09:31
default right so notice the quality of
00:09:34
the energy that you get from certain
00:09:35
things if it's just taking from you and
00:09:37
what it's giving you is feelings of
00:09:39
exhaustion or just dysfunction or
00:09:41
sickness you have to cut that stuff out
00:09:43
of your life right some obvious examples
00:09:45
of that are just like fast food endless
00:09:47
entertainment endless scrolling Etc if
00:09:51
it gives you energy right it adds
00:09:53
Vitality to your being right makes your
00:09:57
body feel alive right makes your mind
00:09:59
feel clear sharp Lucid rather than foggy
00:10:02
numb and dull right those those things
00:10:04
are great that's like meditation nature
00:10:06
Reading Writing spending time by
00:10:08
yourself reflecting you know in solitude
00:10:11
spending time with healthy people right
00:10:14
who actually care about you right
00:10:16
interacting with things that want to be
00:10:18
giving you energy right Fair energy
00:10:22
exchange
00:10:24
right it's basically how the world works
00:10:26
there's always an energy transaction
00:10:29
going on and some people are just trying
00:10:30
to scam your energy right you need to
00:10:33
interact with people who want to give to
00:10:35
you right and especially want to
00:10:38
interact with people who it's just very
00:10:40
natural for them to be giving value
00:10:42
because they've transformed themselves
00:10:44
into someone who effortlessly provides
00:10:46
value right these people
00:10:49
exist right want to interact with habits
00:10:52
Foods Etc that give to you right rather
00:10:56
than just always taking from you that's
