I got a question.
I got a question for you, Lukas.
Lukas?
That's right.
Is truth within?
I've got this theme.
That's not a trick question.
I'm just asking, do you think truth is within?
Wow.
I mean, yeah, you can say, but you want me to give a deeper answer to it?
No, no.
Just a yes.
Hopefully a yes or a no.
I think the only thing you want to achieve and you want to be is somewhere inside you rather than outside.
I actually have another question because someone asked this recently.
If truth is within, and so I'm going to just assume that it is, if truth is within, then why do we have to look outside of ourselves to learn that?
That's what someone asked me.
Well, there is a thing that we actually, it's like, well, because there is a theory that we actually create this reality with our minds, you know, in a broad explanation that we talk to
few times about it, about the reality and things.
So we don't know actually scientifically.
Why do they say that we need to look outside to find it?
I guess their point was that truth isn't inside.
Truth is in something outside, like maybe God.
So they're showing how absurd Buddhism is, and this is what they said, Buddhism is absurd because in order to learn that truth is inside, you have to find that truth outside.
You have to have someone tell you truth is within, for example.
That's because you were looking outside to start with.
If you had started looking inside, you would have found it yourself.
But I think there's another answer, because you can look inside and not know how to see, not know how to look, right?
You can look inside and... Ignorance is the problem.
But the funny thing is that if you look outside, you look through your inside.
Okay?
So everything you experience, you experience through yourself.
So...
It's kind of like the same thing.
You cannot experience outside without the inside.
You cannot experience inside without outside.
You know, I'm trying to say that you are kind of working together.
That's one advice, you know.
It's like, if you've got no eyes, how can you investigate outside?
You know, your eyes
and what you think is inside.
You know what I mean?
You see something and you think about it.
I think the whole, first of all, the whole purpose of telling people to look inside is, as Clemente said, it's telling people who are looking outside, right?
It's telling people who are looking to God or looking to materialism or looking for some
truth or happiness outside of themselves, telling them to look back in.
Well, how can you do that without relying on the external, right?
You have to do that externally.
Yeah, because there is a kind of thing that we are separated from outside, but we are not.
The reason why I thought of this question was to do with this idea of helping people to look inside, helping people with nervousness, the question, right?
You know, there's the two aspects.
You can tell a person, well, just see it like this and this and this, but if they could, they would have, right?
So they need the guidance.
There is the aspect that's needed is some sort of guidance.
You have to give them a means to do that, whatever it is.
And, of course, in our tradition, we'll have them say nervous, nervous, or if someone's talking to them, hearing, hearing, and feeling the...
the heartbeat and the tension in the stomach and the pain in the head and so on, being aware of their movements.
I don't want to give any advice, but in my opinion, maybe I shouldn't, but in some cases taking drugs is a good way to go to boost your confidence.
If you experience out-of-body experience,
okay %uh you might use their you might gain I'll audience I like that's my only my the and like is just I'll drugs major you or workers were there with here then turn on I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll
I'm trying to, you know, trying to... Like crack?
Heroin?
Horse train?
A little bit more specific.
Which drugs do you particularly recommend?
I don't know.
It's like, let's say, like, try to... Gasoline?
Try to... No.
Try to... Try to get stoned.
and go into public and let's see how much insecure you are and see how ridiculous that is.
You know?
You know what?
That sounds like a Tibetan practice.
It's done.
All right.
I think we're going to quit there while we're
Only modesty behind.
