ื•ื”ื•ื ื”ืขื ื™ืง ืœื™ ืชื•ื‘ื ื”

ืœื›ืœ ืื—ื“ ืžืื™ืชื ื• ื™ืฉ ืขืฆืžื™,

It's like that initial stage is over --

ื•ื›ืš ื”ืฉืœื‘ ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ ื”ื–ื” ืžืกืชื™ื™ื --

2000
ืื—ื™ื“ื•ืช, ื™ื ืงื•ืช,
01:00
unformed, primitive.
19

ื’ื•ืœืžื™, ืคืจื™ืžื™ื˜ื™ื‘ื™.

It's no longer valid or real.

ืžื” ืฉืืžื™ืชื™ ื”ื•ื ื”ื ืคืจื“ื•ืช.

2000
ื•ื‘ื ืงื•ื“ื” ืžืกื•ื™ืžืช ื‘ื™ื ืงื•ืช ื”ืžื•ืงื“ืžืช,

Our little portion of oneness is given a name,

and these details,

ื•ื”ืคืจื˜ื™ื ื”ืœืœื•,
01:21
opinions and ideas
28
81260
2000
ื“ืขื•ืช ื•ืจืขื™ื•ื ื•ืช

become facts,
29
83260
2000
ื ื”ืคื›ื™ื ืœืขื•ื‘ื“ื•ืช,
01:25
which go towards building ourselves,

2000
ืฉื”ื•ืœื›ื•ืช ื•ื‘ื•ื ื•ืช ืืช ืžื™ ืฉืื ื—ื ื•,
01:27

31
87260
2000
ื”ื–ื”ื•ืช ืฉืœื ื•.
01:29
And that self becomes the vehicle

2000
ื•ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ื”ื•ืคืš ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ื”ืžื›ืฉื™ืจ

01:34
But the self is a projection
34
94260
3000
ืืš ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ื”ื•ื ื”ืฉืœื›ื”
01:37
based on other people's projections.

Is it who we really are?
36
99260
3000
ื”ืื ื‘ืืžืช ื–ื” ืžื™ ืฉืื ื•?

ืื• ืžื™ ืฉื”ื™ื™ื ื• ืจื•ืฆื™ื ืœื”ื™ื•ืช, ืื• ืืžื•ืจื™ื ืœื”ื™ื•ืช?
01:45
So this whole interaction

3000
ื•ื›ืš, ื”ืื™ื ื˜ืจืืงืฆื™ื” ื”ื–ื•

108260
2000
ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ื–ื”ื•ืช
01:50
was a very difficult one for me growing up.

ื”ื™ื™ืชื” ืงืฉื” ืžืื“ ืขื‘ื•ืจื™ ื›ืฉื’ื“ืœืชื™.
01:52
The self that I attempted to take out into the world

was rejected over and over again.
42
115260
3000
ื ื“ื—ื” ืคืขื ืื—ืจ ืคืขื.
01:58
And my panic
43
118260
2000
ื•ื”ื‘ื”ืœื” ืฉืœื™
02:00
at not having a self that fit,
44

ืฉืœื ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ืขืœืช ืขืฆืžื™ ืฉื”ืชืื™ื,
02:02
and the confusion that came
45
122260
2000
ื•ื”ื‘ืœื‘ื•ืœ ืฉื”ื’ื™ืข
02:04
from my self being rejected,
46
124260
2000
ืžืชื•ืš ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ื”ื“ื—ื•ื™ ืฉืœื™,
02:06
created anxiety, shame
47
126260
3000
ื™ืฆืจ ื—ืจื“ื”, ื‘ื•ืฉื”
02:09
and hopelessness,
48
129260
2000
ื•ื—ื•ืกืจ ืื•ื ื™ื,
02:11
which kind of defined me for a long time.

ืืฉืจ ื‘ืžืฉืš ื–ืžืŸ ืจื‘ ื”ื’ื“ื™ืจ ืืช ืžื™ ืฉืื ื™.
02:14
But in retrospect,
50
134260
2000
ืืš ื‘ืžื‘ื˜ ืœืื—ื•ืจ,
02:16
the destruction of my self was so repetitive
51
136260
3000
ื”ื”ืจืก ืฉืœ ืขืฆืžื™ ื”ื™ื” ื›ื” ื—ื–ืจืชื™,
02:19
that I started to see a pattern.

139260
2000
ืฉื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœื’ืœื•ืช ื“ืคื•ืก.
02:21
The self changed,
53
141260
3000
ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ื”ืฉืชื ื”,
02:24
got affected, broken, destroyed,
54
144260
3000
ื”ื•ืฉืคืข, ื ืฉื‘ืจ, ื”ื•ืฉืžื“,
02:27
but another one would evolve --

147260
3000
ืืš ืขืฆืžื™ ื—ื“ืฉ ื”ืชืคืชื— --
02:30
sometimes stronger,
56
150260
2000
ืœืขื™ืชื™ื ื—ื–ืง ื™ื•ืชืจ,
02:32
sometimes hateful,
57
152260
2000
ืœืขื™ืชื™ื ืžืœื ืื™ื‘ื”,
02:34
sometimes not wanting to be there at all.

The self was not constant.

ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืงื‘ื•ืข.
02:40
And how many times
60

2000
ื•ื›ืžื” ืคืขืžื™ื

would my self have to die

2000
ื”ื™ื” ืขืœ ื”ืขืฆืžื™ ืฉืœื™ ืœืžื•ืช

ืœืคื ื™ ืฉื”ื‘ื ืชื™

ืืš ืœื˜ื‘ืข ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืื›ืคืช,

2000
ืืš ื”ื—ืœ ืžื’ื™ืœ ื—ืžืฉ,
03:11

I was an anomaly,
76
200260
2000
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื—ืจื™ื’ื•ืช.

ื•ื ื™ืกื” ืœื”ืชื—ื‘ืจ.

Because the self likes to fit,
