Summary

The central idea of this life is self-knowledge: discovering everything one truly is through self-facing, without wasting time mystifying one's own life. We also need to learn to relate to other people; that is what we most need to learn.

Source transcript

I am walking with Yin. I need to walk every day to move this body and remain able to continue the work I do for a little longer.

At a gathering, several people came to talk with me about this work of inclusion and, above all, self-discovery. The central idea of this life is self-knowledge: discovering everything that one truly is through self-facing without wasting time mystifying one's own life. It takes effort, but I believe it is worthwhile. We also need to learn to relate to other people; in fact, that is what we most need to learn. I am pausing my speech now because I am walking uphill. I know how far my lungs can go, and after that I need to stop for a while. I will stop for a little while and then continue speaking.
