Peter Crone walks through what he calls the inversion of ordinary seeking: that what one is searching for is what is searching, and that the brain's outward-facing architecture conceals this from itself by default. He frames the recognition as the doorway from forceful to powerful.

I think to go back a little bit even further. >> Yes. >> So, a being soul, spirit, whatever word you want it or pure consciousness, >> um, is the essence of who we are. >> And I would assert what we're looking for. >> So, the space we look from is the space we look for, right? So, meaning I say the seeker is the sort. >> What does that mean? >> The seeker who we're looking is the sort. meaning you're what you're looking for. >> Oh, okay. Yes. Okay. >> Right. So, that's how this is such a great game because it's so hard to see that because if you look at >> how other people can see it sometimes and you can't. >> Yes. >> Because if you understand the machinery of what it is to be human and the brain and our senses, everything's, you know, exogen exogenously facing, right? Like I look to you, I look I hear things, I smell things. It's all outside of me. So therefore, it makes sense. Ipso factor that my experience is because of everything I'm experiencing out there. >> So if what I experience hurts, well then I'm going to do everything I can to avoid out there or control out there. >> And if everything's feels good, I'm going to do everything I can to replicate or chase that. Yes. Right. So that's the world >> from the human perspective. So what I'm saying is yes just Peter Cron's perspective born immaculate souls timeless boundless limitless the soul characteristics contain all the qualities we as humans are looking for love self-worth power freedom they're all intrinsic parts of our essence >> however we're in this dimension of planet earth because it's a perfect container because souls we're still currently misidentified with limitations So, we're souls that have still got this sheath of some sort of fear or narrative, >> and planet Earth is a perfect place to figure that out. >> Because you're going to get triggered. >> Mhm. >> So, the soul with the conversations and the constraints with which we arrive is the way I look at it. Because >> if we arrive with those conflicts, you don't think they happen to us? >> No. Because if if it were the latter, if it was really because your dad was a drunk and he never gave you love and he beat you, which again don't want to make sort of seem blas, but if it's really because of that that you feel that nobody loves you. >> Now what you're saying is all my power is over there with that human being I call dad. >> I can't do anything about it. >> You're a victim, >> right? >> And that's a horrific way to go through life. >> Yes. If you're a soul who's come into this particular paradigm to liberate yourself, which to me is the only purpose of being human. That's the real game of first. >> Liberate yourself. >> That's it. That's it. Not to get married, have kids, and make money, and have fame and more followers, and that's fun. Do I do it all, >> but it's the cart before the horse if you're doing that to try and find freedom. Yeah. >> No, it's like I spoke at this health optimization summit and I said you can't access true health and vitality if you don't free your mind first. >> Yes. >> Buy the cryogenic chamber, buy hyperbaric, do all the peptides. You know, you've got the best shaman and body worker and whatever it is, that's great. But it's going to be, as I like to phrase it, uh the way that you become the best version of your limited self. >> And if people really get that, it's quite revoly, right? It's like, wow, if you live in a in this space here, which is say 600 square f feet. I I function in feet now that I'm in America, but whatever it is, you know, then we could you've done a great job here. But someone who's an interior designer wants to make this a little bedroom, they come in, put beautiful PK wood floors from Paris and a gorgeous sink and, you know, all the best appliances and they could transform the space. But what hasn't changed is the size of it. >> Yes. And that's how most people function as humans is that they do this interior design of their own limitations to make them prettier. What I'm doing is shattering limitations and exposing you to another world of your own true essence. So soul arrives constrained in limitation. The opportunity that it is to be human is through self-reflection. And sadly, but that's the way we get there. triggers an adversity, the broken heart, the job that you got fired from, the parent that died, whatever it is that you have to go through is to reveal, oh, hang on a minute. I might already have everything I'm looking for. And that to me is the journey of what it is to be human. >> And triggers and adversity are good. >> They're the gift. >> Yeah. Right. >> I get poetic with my quotes, but I say, "Your fears are the beacons that light the path to freedom." Most people try to get away from their fears, escape their fears, numb their fears. No, go into them. >> It's like run forwards. >> Yeah. >> Run into them head on. >> Understand them, disseminate them, you know, unpack them, talk to a loved one about And that's the hard thing is going back to our conversation earlier about relationships. People sometimes struggle to find someone who's a safe enough space to speak into vulnerably enough to be able to really understand where did that where did that fear get born? It's not because of dad or mom. They might have been the catalyst to turn on like epigenetics, you know, like if we have diet and lifestyle and we're predisposed genetically to a weakness in our heart or in our nervous system with Parkinson's, then yes, diet and lifestyle epi above genetics. To me, this is like epi emotional genetics, right? Whatever triggers you emotionally is also going to turn on whatever constraints you've yet to transcend. That's the gift. That's the opportunity until eventually you get to, you know, the nirvana of what it is to be a human is maybe to realize that you're okay no matter what. I'm not a victim of circumstance anymore. I can be with whatever's happening. Not easy, but very powerful. And that goes back to what I said earlier. The difference between being forceful, trying to control environment versus being powerful. I'm okay in any environment. Very different worlds.
