So, growing up, I was always a sensitive and weak kid.

And so, as I've been getting older, closer to my 30s now, I've been trying to become mentally a bit more resilient and physically more resilient too, to kind of protect myself from the emotional and physical assault of the world.

Over the last couple of years, I felt that I have become a lot stronger in physically and emotionally, but sometimes it still fluctuates and you know, I have felt like I haven't arrived at where I want to arrive.

So what does the emotionally stronger mean?

It really just means that not letting my thoughts affect me as much, so to speak.

Like not submitting to my thoughts and you know being unstable and running around emotionally in that way and or like if people are I don't know if people are like emotionally assaulting me or bullying me not letting that affect me as much as it used to.

It's been going, it's been a lot better in the last 5, 6 years or so, but it's still not where I want it

Better would mean for me that it simply wouldn't, it would bother me less.

Like I wouldn't care what they were saying.

Like I wouldn't let that trigger me in any way.

It's more, I mean, there's, I guess there is, sometimes there's effort, or like just the acknowledgement, like, oh, you know, I let this person affect me this much.

And, but I wouldn't say it's like a force, like I'm trying to ignore the emotion.

I've tried that before and I've, you know, that doesn't work.

So my question is, my question is, since this is fluctuating, does this mean that this is simply another chase as opposed to making a significant or a true arrival?

Well, I mean, what does it really matter if it's a chase or not a chase?

Because that's why I asked you those questions.

So if I told you it was a chase What let's say I said, okay, it's a it's a chase.

So would you Would you then abandon the things that made you feel, in your words, emotionally stronger or quote better?

Would you go back to the prior way if I said it was a chase?

I think it would just help me understand.

So then if you wouldn't, then it really doesn't matter, right?

Because what happens is that people, what they do is they sort of, and they do this by habit, that nothing is done trying to be ignorant or anything.

It's just what the world does to people, right?

So, you know, the world prescriptionizes, right, everything.

So the world, the only thing that's available in the world is prescriptions.

Like there's no such thing as part of the world doesn't prescriptionize, some experts don't prescriptionize, like that doesn't exist, there's only 1.

There's only 1 thing which is prescriptions, it's just a matter, the only comparisons are who prescribes what, this guy prescribes this and this person prescribes that, so only the prescriptions differ, but there's no such thing as no prescription, that doesn't exist, right?

And as a result, when that's the only thing that a person has ever known their entire life, then naturally, logically, inevitably, when they read what I write and what I talk about, they bring that only tool that they have, with which they've been taught by the world, and they turn what I write into a prescription and say, oh, that's this and oh, that's that, and I can't be doing that because that's wrong, and I want to stay away from that because that's wrong.

And so they make this framework out of it based upon the tools and the rules that they've been using in the other domains of the world, and that doesn't work in what I do, because everything that I write about isn't about what to do, what not to do, what to...

Some people come and they hate it, It's not for them.

So, like all the rules, like gravity goes the other way, you know what I mean?

You cannot bring the tools and the rules from the world into my domain because they won't work.

What you're sort of doing without necessarily recognizing it is, you know, you've turned chase into this don't do thing.

You've turned it into, you know, you've said, oh that's bad.

So now, And it isn't like I use chases in a good way.

Yes, when I say the chase, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing.

I literally am saying that chases, you know, lead back to themselves and they're a circle and they don't really go anywhere.

But that doesn't, you'll never get to that by playing the rules game, right?

I never got to that by saying, oh, don't chase because that's bad.

So when you look at the word chase and you turn it into a prescription, then it has no meaning because then you're, and it's the same thing with prescriptions.

People come and they say, Oh, you're saying no, first of all, I don't, I didn't say no prescriptions.

But I also said 4 million times that you shouldn't believe me.

Yeah, I also said 4 million times that don't believe what I say, examine things for yourself.

Because it's only if you examine things in your own experience and Because you've been prescription izing your whole entire life.

So you have a lot of data to mine you have a lot of experiences Under your belt to provide evidence for that.

You can go through and see okay did they work for me or not?

If they did, great, go ahead and keep doing it.

So it isn't about prescriptionizing it, and That's why I asked about those things, because they were practical.

If you're in a place which you find to be superior to the place that you used to be, then don't make, like, why prescriptionize anything?

And that's why I asked you, would you go back to the old place?

So it's about practicality, it's about reality, It isn't about turning things into do's and don'ts and goods and bads and positives and negatives and prescription eyes this and that.

That's just a habit, you know, that was created in the world.

And then it was sort of brought over here.

And that resonated with me, because it feels like that's exactly where I am.

For context, I met a lot of successful people in my life.

And 1 thing that I found that was very common is that they all seemed trapped in some way, quite literally by the trappings of success.

And 1 of the worst aspects of that seems to be the ego of being successful, which just seems to wreak all kinds of havoc in their lives.

So if you would, could you please talk more about the characteristics of the fear of success?

I'm not necessarily interested in changing it, but my sense is that if I understand it, then whatever change needs to happen will happen on its own.

Well you speak of the ego of success as if ego is limited to the domain of success.

If you look at the spiritualists, what are they doing?

So they're having, how long can you burn the incense, and how long can you meditate, and how long can you hold your breath, and how long can you watch your thoughts?

So it's, you know, how quickly can you shave your head?

It's everything is the ego of everything.

So you know to isolate success and say it's full of trappings, what isn't full of a trapping?

You know you just being alive is full of trappings.

So even if you never tasted success, it's nothing but trap.

It's a trap before success, during success, after success, in the absence of success.

It's all a trap 360 all the way around 24 7 for your entire life until you learn the truth.

I think I'm starting to understand more and more that that the only way out is the moment.

And I want to ask, what prevents a human being to be constantly engaged in whatever 1 is doing.


Speaker 0: Hi, Kabil. Thanks for your time. So, growing up, I was always a sensitive and weak kid. And so, as I've been getting older, closer to my 30s now, I've been trying to become mentally a bit more resilient and physically more resilient too, to kind of protect myself from the emotional and physical assault of the world. Over the last couple of years, I felt that I have become a lot stronger in physically and emotionally, but sometimes it still fluctuates and you know, I have felt like I haven't arrived at where I want to arrive.

So my question to you is...

Speaker 1: So what does the emotionally stronger mean?

Speaker 0: It really just means that not letting my thoughts affect me as much, so to speak. Like not submitting to my thoughts and you know being unstable and running around emotionally in that way and or like if people are I don't know if people are like emotionally assaulting me or bullying me not letting that affect me as much as it used to.

Speaker 1: And how has that been going?

Speaker 0: It's been going, it's been a lot better in the last 5, 6 years or so, but it's still not where I want it

Speaker 1: to be. And what does better mean?

Speaker 0: Better would mean for me that it simply wouldn't, it would bother me less. Like I wouldn't care what they were saying. Like I wouldn't let that trigger me in any way.

Speaker 1: And was that done internally by force?

Speaker 0: I'm not sure if it's forceful or not. It's more, I mean, there's, I guess there is, sometimes there's effort, or like just the acknowledgement, like, oh, you know, I let this person affect me this much. And, but I wouldn't say it's like a force, like I'm trying to ignore the emotion. I've tried that before and I've, you know, that doesn't work.

Speaker 1: So what's your question?

Speaker 0: So my question is, my question is, since this is fluctuating, does this mean that this is simply another chase as opposed to making a significant or a true arrival?

Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what does it really matter if it's a chase or not a chase? Because that's why I asked you those questions. What does better mean? Where are you now with it? What is stronger mean?

So if I told you it was a chase What let's say I said, okay, it's a it's a chase. So would you Would you then abandon the things that made you feel, in your words, emotionally stronger or quote better? Would you go back to the prior way if I said it was a chase?

Speaker 0: I don't think I would. I think it would just help me understand.

Speaker 1: So then if you wouldn't, then it really doesn't matter, right? Right. Because what happens is that people, what they do is they sort of, and they do this by habit, that nothing is done trying to be ignorant or anything. It's just what the world does to people, right? Not their fault, not their fault.

So, you know, the world prescriptionizes, right, everything. So the world, the only thing that's available in the world is prescriptions. Like there's no such thing as part of the world doesn't prescriptionize, some experts don't prescriptionize, like that doesn't exist, there's only 1. There's only 1 thing which is prescriptions, it's just a matter, the only comparisons are who prescribes what, this guy prescribes this and this person prescribes that, so only the prescriptions differ, but there's no such thing as no prescription, that doesn't exist, right? No prescriptions.

And as a result, when that's the only thing that a person has ever known their entire life, then naturally, logically, inevitably, when they read what I write and what I talk about, they bring that only tool that they have, with which they've been taught by the world, and they turn what I write into a prescription and say, oh, that's this and oh, that's that, and I can't be doing that because that's wrong, and I want to stay away from that because that's wrong. And so they make this framework out of it based upon the tools and the rules that they've been using in the other domains of the world, and that doesn't work in what I do, because everything that I write about isn't about what to do, what not to do, what to... It isn't about any of that. So the entire planet is different. I'm not saying it's better or worse.

Some people come and they hate it, It's not for them. So I'm not saying it's better for... I'm just saying it's completely... It's a different... It's a different universe, right?

So, like all the rules, like gravity goes the other way, you know what I mean? So, you need... You cannot bring the tools and the rules from the world into my domain because they won't work. And so, when you say, is it a chase? What you're sort of doing without necessarily recognizing it is, you know, you've turned chase into this don't do thing.

Speaker 0: Oh, I see.

Speaker 1: You've turned it into, you know, you've said, oh that's bad.

Speaker 0: Yeah.

Speaker 1: So now, And it isn't like I use chases in a good way. Yes, when I say the chase, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I literally am saying that chases, you know, lead back to themselves and they're a circle and they don't really go anywhere. But that doesn't, you'll never get to that by playing the rules game, right? I never got to that by saying, oh, don't chase because that's bad.

I never played the prescription game. So when you look at the word chase and you turn it into a prescription, then it has no meaning because then you're, and it's the same thing with prescriptions. People come and they say, Oh, you're saying no, first of all, I don't, I didn't say no prescriptions. I said, I said, they don't work. But I also said 4 million times that you shouldn't believe me.

Yeah, I also said 4 million times that don't believe what I say, examine things for yourself. Because it's only if you examine things in your own experience and Because you've been prescription izing your whole entire life. So you have a lot of data to mine you have a lot of experiences Under your belt to provide evidence for that. You can go through and see okay did they work for me or not? If they did, great, go ahead and keep doing it.

So it isn't about prescriptionizing it, and That's why I asked about those things, because they were practical. If you're in a place which you find to be superior to the place that you used to be, then don't make, like, why prescriptionize anything? And that's why I asked you, would you go back to the old place? And you said no. Okay, well, it doesn't matter, right?

So it's about practicality, it's about reality, It isn't about turning things into do's and don'ts and goods and bads and positives and negatives and prescription eyes this and that. That's just a habit, you know, that was created in the world. And then it was sort of brought over here.

Speaker 0: Right. Okay. Understood. Thank you.

Speaker 1: Sure.

Speaker 2: Era of success. And that resonated with me, because it feels like that's exactly where I am. For context, I met a lot of successful people in my life. And 1 thing that I found that was very common is that they all seemed trapped in some way, quite literally by the trappings of success. And 1 of the worst aspects of that seems to be the ego of being successful, which just seems to wreak all kinds of havoc in their lives.

So if you would, could you please talk more about the characteristics of the fear of success? I'm not necessarily interested in changing it, but my sense is that if I understand it, then whatever change needs to happen will happen on its own.

Speaker 1: Well you speak of the ego of success as if ego is limited to the domain of success. Everything is the ego of everything. If you look at the spiritualists, what are they doing? They're having meditation contests. So they're having, how long can you burn the incense, and how long can you meditate, and how long can you hold your breath, and how long can you watch your thoughts?

So it's, you know, how quickly can you shave your head? It's everything is the ego of everything. So you know to isolate success and say it's full of trappings, what isn't full of a trapping? You know you just being alive is full of trappings. It's all full of trap.

It's all a trap. Everything that you think is a trap. Everything about you is a trap. So even if you never tasted success, it's nothing but trap. It's a trap before success, during success, after success, in the absence of success.

It's all a trap 360 all the way around 24 7 for your entire life until you learn the truth.

Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you Kapil for your time. I think I'm starting to understand more and more that that the only way out is the moment. And I want to ask, what prevents a human being to be constantly engaged in whatever 1 is doing.

Speaker 1: Being mesmerized by the world. You
