Hello everyone, my name is Andrew, and welcome to the video.
So today I'd like to talk about a quote by Bruce Lee, and he says, "The meaning of
life is that it is to be lived, not traded, conceptualized, or squeezed into a pattern
of systems.
Now our approach to this quote is very important here because our usual, habitual way of approaching
things, is to find an answer, you know, find the meaning to life, take a stand, come to
a conclusion.
And all of these are of the thinking field.
Any answer we come to, will be limited, will be an idea, that inevitably brings about conflict
through separation and division.
So that means our approach has to be completely different right?
So we got to look at this quote as it is, not looking or searching or trying to find
a meaning of life, according to what we think it may be or what I think it may be, because
we honestly don't know.
It may or may not be this or that.
So he talks about the meaning of life is that it is to be lived.
So I question is the meaning of life filled with conflict and misery and suffering and
sorrow and pain and anxiety and and just all of that?
Or is the meaning of life beyond all this, beyond all these words, these concepts, these
ideas, that we're living with?
So therefore, this first part of the quote is pointing to something that is outside of
words, outside of the field of the brain that uses intellect.
So therefore, it is unthinkable.
Now we are not satisfied with this right?
We need an answer, we, we have to have some kind of meaning, because, you know, our brain,
the ego, is always seeking this protection, this safety, this satisfaction, and that is
why we program ourselves right?
Program like a computer, like we write a code in we hit enter and boom!
The computer starts to run, and in the same way our brain is like this clever and intelligent
computer, where I don't know what happened, probably millions of years ago this may or
may have been the reason, I don't know, maybe man has felt like okay, there is so much danger
around, you know, wild beasts running around and poisonous plants and stuff.
So that idea, I have to protect myself, probably arose from there, just a guess, but yeah,
so that's maybe how we got caught in programming ourselves to live, to conceptualize, to squeeze
ourselves into a pattern, you know, a routine like, I must wake up every morning and pray
or I must wake up every morning and make my bed, I must wake up every morning and eat
this specific kind of breakfast only, these specific kind of foods and why do we do that?
Why do we put ourselves in this pattern?
Because what do patterns or programs do?
Well they give us something to depend on for our security, but what is it that we're really
dependent on?
Because this pattern, this program, is like a continuous stream of memory right?
Memory being, you know, the thinking, the thought, the knowledge, the experiences, that
we've accumulated throughout our lives thus far.
So what is it that we are really dependent on that makes us feel secure, safe and satisfied?
Because that is why we are putting ourselves in this habit, in this program, is because,
I want to get something or because I do that, I have that feeling of security and safety
and I want more, so I keep planning and preparing, you know, and acting or thinking before I
act, and therefore, whatever action I do, is limited, is according to a past idea, that
is gone, that is dead, because memory, is only representative of what's already gone,
of what's already dead, but we like this memory.
We like this continuous thinking going on and why?
Why is that?
Let's investigate this together, because I feel that we like this continuous thinking
of what we're going to do, how we're going to do it, not only because it gives us a security,
but also, because it's like a constant sense of certainty, like I'm certain about this,
I'm certain about that, and that feeling, it feels so good, it's like either a sigh
of relief, or like I'm doing what I meant to do in this life, but the fact, the fact
is that life is uncertain, and we plan and prepare and put ourselves in a habit for things
that we are uncertain of.
So we're living this big contradiction of thinking or being certain that this is going
to help me or secure me or this is going to get me that, but life is always uncertain
and changing and therefore, a contradiction of the opposites which, bring about this sorrow,
this suffering, this conflict.
So then we have to go into, well then, how will there be order in my life?
If I just don't use patterns or systems or repetition or routine which all dulls the
mind, dulls the senses of the intelligent body, the human being, that we are.
Then if I don't do all that, there will just be disorder right?
But everything I think of, and we see this going on we're all trying to think of new
ways and new gimmicks and tricks to make this world a better place, but the world is still
on fire, it still degenerating, is burning, so every solution, every answer we think of
and we implement, doesn't radically change anything.
So, therefore, have we gone into the structure?
Examined what it is that is responsible for this, and therefore, through that examining
and understanding, that brings about its own order right?
Through understanding, examining this brain, that is the center of everything that's going
on, of what we're doing, of what we're using, what we're inventing, of what we're creating.
So when we understand the center and learn about the center, which everything else flows
from.
Then through that, is order, naturally, but we're too scared, because we're too frightened
of this, because we're caught in this continuous thinking, this continuous memory that brings
about security, and then, now we've come to see that, okay well, natural order says to
stop this or is going to interfere with this stream.
So therefore, I won't have my security, I won't...
I'm too frightened to do this.
I'm not going to try this at all.
See what's going on here?
It's so interesting, but yes, I'm kind of going on too long now, so yeah, that's all
I'll talk for in this video, for now, probably make some more about this kind of quote.
It's a very interesting quote, but yeah, that's all, thank you for hanging out with
me and as always stay awesome and I'll see you all next time bye bye.
