NO.

This is what Peter Sage was talking about years ago in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXfOXn1parN4jLc. The hard path is the 'by me' mentality' which is at least proactive but it's exhausting and is no where near as effective as the flow state 'through me'. Peter Sage extrapolated these levels of consciousness from Dr David Hawkins 'map of consciousness'.

The Greek/ Roman philosophy of Stoicism helps me maintain a good mindset when confronted by problems.

[@darioterranashi5536]

I'm gonna take a nap after this.

Kneading bread can be fun. It seems like it is a luxury, I recall really enjoying making polish Easter dough with my siblings and mum, watching it get elasticity and double in size, then make lovely babki and roses to decorate them, plains, and paint with egg yolk, put in Rayburn. Enjoy the smell. Then watch my Dad, so so happy as he opened the tin we put them in to have one with his mug of sweet tea. Also putting them in 3 Easter baskets , taking to church on Easter Saturday blessed and then have the whole family be together at breakfast on Easter Sunday. I now follow a strict food plan and am in recovery but I wrote this because this whole procedure was a highlight for the whole family.once a year.

I overthink a lot….great to listen to this.

[@stellanews6190]

Just listen to this through. It's totally worth it. It's obvious that people leaving negative comments here didn't give this podcast episode and the ideas a chance to unfold.

[@juliem1781]

Love the aesthetics of the color-sorted bookshelf!

[@Leaveinlimbo]

Time stamps for different topics would be nice

[@josephloughery7624]

Very interesting verbiage. A concise dialogue between two individuals. Mr. McKeown gives us some valuable insight/s. Both his books are in my library. I have found them useful. Will be re-reading them again. Thank you for your time.

[@benfarquhar7043]

First podcast with Greg was fantastic, really great to have another one. Top work Chris!

[@FbtGl]

16:00 just a thought: if you are looking for those extremely rare low steps, to be looking for the Long and Hard?

[@TheDhammaHub]

Well, suffering is created in the mind after all, and we have much more influence there than on our environment

[@carol7roberts]

Excellent Interview!!! Thank you!!!

[@taukirsyed1769]

Loved the podcast and kept on hearing 33:00 on a real world project and how to solve it.😊

[@diog.torres]

i just loved this episode

[@ditaezerniece2763]

Love this ❤ Just an idea.. an effortless solution to content that someone doesn't have funds to spend on -collaborations. Example...Take a quote out of comments, make a post with it and tag the author.. it would greatly benefit both parties 👌

[@boydhooper4080]

Great conversation. Just to add some value, We want 5 I’s not 3. Integrity, Intellect, interest, Initiative, Introspection

[@edwinvanderknaap3445]

Sounds like Wu Wei!

[@admiralcrev5119]

good stuff

[@dineshvkumarangapandu07]

TQ

[@ozymandias6743]

I heard some Mormonism-perfectionism culture discussed here...

[@itsmewaldi]

Which episode are they referencing around 1:07:00 ? Sounds very interesting!

[@bennichols561]

Make no effort, job done.

[@djVania08]

10 minutes in, need to turn it off. Still don't know what is the thing they try to get to....

[@DOMReplays]

29:51

[@Katerai]

The only thing I didn't like about this episode is that I couldn't see Chris' face. What a beautiful man, inside and out.

[@AberrantArt]

Time stamps???

[@martinpaveymusic309]

Friendly suggestion, do them yourself and get the adoration of the other viewers.

[@AberrantArt]

@@martinpaveymusic309 I'm not running a KZbin channel so likes and subs don't matter to me, but I thought it would be helpful for this channel and it's viewers.

[@carlotapuig]

This was rubbish tbh. At some point you will have to work hard for real success. There is no way around.

[@AghoraNath]

I don't care about this guy, he has my hesitant red wine nose.

[@quantumpotential7639]

What does this mean, exactly? Red wine what

[@quantumpotential7639]

Where is this lead gen 🧲? I need 100 more books to read and quickly as my eye sight is failing and need to get in as much reading before I turn blind. I'm already nearly deaf so audi books are out. If I don't get more books in between now and when the lights go out, I'll always wonder what could have I learned, or become but didn't. Speed is of the essence. I need more knowledge. These books, once the list is compiled, will allow me to live and be free. For in those books will come the answer for my blindness, for I have many blind spots. Thanks

[@DelightfulDissident]

Learn braille while you still have sight and you can continue reading once the lights go out. Just an idea. Good luck 👍

[@josephloughery7624]

If you're legit, then check out Jim Collins' work. Additionally, his website offers a reading list (if that's what you are interested in). Best of luck and wishing you well. Thanks for your time. Take care.
