When you react to someone in a way that you don't think is yourself, it's because you're agitated. So we act in unloving ways because we are putting ourselves under stress, irritation, agitation, or pressure.

And so for me, what I've realized that if I wanna be my best loving self and be present with each and every person and be conscious of that energy, I have to learn to not put myself under so much stress that I can't be present. So that's been a big lesson of love that you can't love while you're putting yourself under stress or pressure in any way.

Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

Yeah. The other one that came to mind when you said that as you're speaking is Russell Barkley said that the people who need the most love ask for it in the most unloving ways. And the commitment I've made to myself is I no longer want to ask for love in unloving ways. I no longer want to be snappy to feel loved. I no longer want to be demanding to experience love.

I no longer want to make someone else feel a passive aggressive comment to feel love. I want to communicate about the type of love I need in an open and honest way rather than trying to hope that someone else is gonna figure it out because I'm sending subliminal messages or I'm being distant or I'm avoiding them. And so that was something deeply that I learned was that

We just constantly keep asking, even the people that love us the most, we keep requesting and demanding love in the most unloving ways. And if we can free ourselves of that, you can actually make a relationship really special and beautiful. And so we have to let go of that.

Yeah, that's a great question. I'd have to say that I was probably at a... seven or eight before, to be honest, because even though my work's been noticed publicly in the last five years or six years, there was a whole 10 to 11 years before that where I literally did this for whoever showed up.

Literally, so like when I was 18, and of course, in my first book, I tell the story of how I met monks, I had a society at university called Think Out Loud. And what it was was a community where I would put out flyers and posters myself and whoever wanted to come from my university would attend. And it was called Think Out Loud.

I would dissect a movie based on philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. So I would take a movie like Inception and I would break it down. I'd take a movie like and break it down. I'd take a movie like The Butterfly Effect, Good Will Hunting, like I'd take these incredible movies and I'd do these sessions. They'd be absolutely free. And I did it for the first year and five to 10 people came.

Second year, maybe 25 people came. Third year, there were sometimes 100 people who were in the room. And I was just doing it because I loved it. Then I became a monk. When I came back, I did the same thing in the corporate world. I had a event in London called Conscious Living. It was on a Friday night.
