Excerpt of the Podcast: John Kremer: “In your diary, you said that, "When the mind creates an experience, and I take it for reality, it actually limits my sense of the possible." And again, you repeated, "I am wasting my time and energy solving problems that don't exist, and I leave what really matters to me on the table while chasing the goals that have no value at all for me." I thought that was really great insight into why you can be productive once you've let all that other junk just slide by the wayside. You allow for those things to happen, but you don't invest yourself in them.” Dr Louis Koster: “Absolutely. And while you're talking, I'm so present to, if I look at my own life, how much I have wasted in terms of opportunity to just be out there to enjoy myself or to be fully engaged in, well, in the task at hand or whatever it is that I have committed myself to. And I mean, that is phenomenal. It is absolutely... Well, I've got no words for it. And so this little insight, just this little insight that what I might present you as an anticipating reality that we draw our conclusions that makes us decide whether we are going to do something or not, or take action or not. That is an absolute illusion.” “So it pretends to, if you look at that anticipating experience, it kind of mimics being as if you were taking action already, and then you kind of vote whether you like it or not. And based on that, you take a decision to take action. So that is all memory, that is recycled memory, but it has the flavour, the connotation as if it is real. So the best I can bring it to language is that the thinking mimics or simulates being. And that's not reality.” “So, rather than arguing with it or coming up with an argument where that has got any validity to just step out of it and act. And when you do that, experientially, it might occur as, what are you doing now or that is irresponsible. You haven't consulted your thinking, or something like that whatever the mind then throws out. But in fact, you are being yourself. You are authentic to yourself. And what occurs as a risk is in fact that then you align yourself with the unmanifested because you don't know what's next. That is the truth.” “Reality is not a linear phenomena. Reality is, but that's then again, described from the mind, that is the next moment. But that is inside of the limitation of the mind and the limitation of language to say it like that “the next moment.” Because there is no next moment. What there is, is being, and the possibility of taking action is that then you align yourself with what is not yet manifest. And in doing so, there is a discovery, there is adventure, there's excitement. You've got a sense that you're being alive.” “Now. Does it take a risk to be alive? You already alive. So I think it's time to be yourself.” Thank you for listening to The Talking Diaries podcast featuring Dr. Louis Koster.
