Let's talk about peace and then we'll talk about truth and how these all relate to happiness. A lot of times what I'm saying. You want to be happy. What I'm actually saying is you want to find peace we say peace of mind, but what we really want is peace from mind the moments of greatest pleasure, whether from doing a drug or having an orgasm or your kite surfing and you find the edge or you're laughing with somebody or you're looking at some incredible Sunset what happens in all of these is the Mind goes quiet the Mind comes down that voice in your head. We are talking
into yourself go silent for a moment and then you go into a sense of all or beauty or Bliss or Joy or pleasure. All of a Sikh this all of us chase it deep down where we're actually looking for peace from our mind. I'm not making the mind out to be an enemy. The mind is a very useful tool but somewhere along the way it became an uncontrollable tool it became a master rather than just a servant. Our mind is evolved to be paranoid fearful and angry. We are the most paranoid and Angry Creatures to ever walk this Earth.
Human beings are apex predators at the top of the food chain. We killed subjugator domesticated every other species on this planet and we did it through fear and violence and of course cooperation, but we've killed everything else. We've tamed everything else. We were scared enough to go fight it kill it and Own It nature is brutal turn on any nature documentary and you'll
see a eats BB eat cc is DD easy and nature is red in tooth and Claw.
We are derived from violence and blood modern societies a lot safer.
/ yes, it still makes sense to be careful and to be paranoid. It still makes sense occasionally to get angry but not all the time. Not as much as we're hardwired to do modern society safer and more peaceful. So it's okay to dial it down. The threat level is not as high as our genes think it is if you are walking through the woods thousand years ago with a friend and you thought you heard the tiger rustling in the bushes. Let's say nine out of 10 times. It's a rabbit one of ten times as a tiger. Well, the person was an optimist catches a rabbit 9 out of 10 times it gets eaten the 10th. The person was a pessimist.
Stays alive every time pessimism is rewarded in our involved nature, but we live in much safer times. So we have to find ways past that we have to find ways towards. Peace.
