00:00What is one belief that most of the young people consider normal today, but you think is deeply harmful for
00:07their futures?
00:08I think freedom. Freedom is the superstition that your generation carries. Freedom is your drug, your poison, your deepest superstition.
00:17Without knowing what it means to be internally free, you want to display, perform freedom.
00:26That's a nice word. How in the choice of our clothes, in the choice of our words, a new vocab,
00:32an entire lingo you have invented. And you say, we'll do this, we'll do that. But inwardly, you are carrying
00:39fears as deeply as the caveman did and any other generation did. Inwardly, there is doubt, confusion, neurosis, lust, all
00:48kinds of things that were always present. Are you free? No, you're not.
00:53But outwardly, you carry a great pretense of liberation. Don't interfere with us. This is what I want to do.
00:59My life, my choice, my way, the highway, all those things. Freedom, obviously, is the highest. But freedom, devoid of
01:08any inner mooring, is a deep kind of bondage. Be really free.
01:13Before you try to perform freedom on the outside, think of what inner bondages exist. Look at them. Be ruthlessly
01:24honest about them. Watch them drop.
01:27Thank you, sir.
