Your personal experience and learnings, and an assessment of why we are here. What's the point of all of this? You know, I think that question only becomes relevant once one understands the acuteness of their situation. Right? So you can't ask big questions if you're

feeling the small ones. So like, if you're a person who can ask that question, it's the person who has found some level of some way of living in freedom or peace, or some level of arrival within themselves. And then they can examine that question. Um, if your, if your house

is on fire, philosophy isn't your first goal. Okay? I mean, it, it, everyone, every, every human being in this life is suffering acutely immediately right now. Right now, every human being has 20, 30, 40 problems in their life. And to dismiss

that and say, 'Well, why why are we here?' That's just escapism, right? It's just philosophy. Um, it's just, it's just an, it's just a turning one's back on the fire in, in their house. Now, I'm not saying that you should turn towards a

fire in your house. I'm not saying that you don't have to, I'm not saying that you shouldn't live in denial. I don't care what you should do and don't do. I'm not telling what you should do. Um, it doesn't matter to me in all honesty what

I am saying is the reason I brought that up is if you ask, you know, philosophical questions, then it, it, it really like, it's of no use to entertain those because the fire is still going on. And therefore, it becomes chitchat. It's irrelevant. I mean, you could ask me why

are we here I could say we're here because of X Y and Z okay so what and at what stage does that question become relevant for anyone to ask including yourself well something becomes relevant when it's immediately relevant to your life right so all of these podcasts that

are going on all around the world they're all at arm's length right they're all he he haha this tell a joke do you tell a talk nonsense you talk garbage do here's five steps here's three things to practice uh wake up at this time take a

nice bath and comb your hair to the left not the right and do 14 jumping jacks practice meditation do mindful I mean there's nothing like like nothing there's no immediacy like someone should get on the podcast and say you know my life just

miserable I I'm I'm fighting over here this is tragic in my life I hate this is going on I have no idea what's going on and and I just I just want the answers to my life I don't really care about philosophy um I don't care about

mindfulness I care about my house is on fire my leg is broken I'm bleeding through my arm and this is relevant that's relevant but that but that that doesn't sound nice you see that isn't that doesn't sound like a good poser

before the audience to put on a good show in an entertainment
