00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.240
You know, we have to recognize
how un-empathetic we are.

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.359
We have to suffer that
humiliation and that's what

3
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.839
happens as you observe your
stream of consciousness.

4
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.279
You will see, we each have
our own patterns.

5
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.000
The primary addiction
of human beings

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.239
is human beings are addicted
to their way of thinking.

7
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.519
I go back to the same pattern
of let's say,

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.839
resentful thoughts,
judgmental thoughts,

9
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.679
angry thoughts,
fearful thoughts,

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.640
whatever your pattern might be.

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.000
But once you see your pattern
it's very humiliating.

12
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.960
And I think you've got to
suffer that humiliation

13
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.759
or you won't recognize

14
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.600
how lacking in
compassion you are,

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.320
that you might keep up the external
image of being a loving person.

16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.119
But if you watch your mind,

17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.320
you're dismissing people
with your mind.

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.280
You're rejecting people with your
mind almost automatically.
