This lecture is explaining The Law of Conservation of Energy: you are going to perceive the next easiest thing there is to see.

And, yeah. We all know this already. I hope.

But, this fellow does not know the basic tenet of Ecsys: change the geometry of a relationship, and you will perceive differently. Everything is already there. You just need to perceive differently in order to experience it.

The lecturer in this video stresses effort and hard work. That is the old way. Unless you just want the physical workout, then why work so hard? Chaol's method makes all of this easy. Effortless.

I've worked my tail off all my life...and I mean hard, physical labor. Scratching about and making do and worrying and fretting over every penny. I am through with that. I did it for decades and now I don't want to do it like that anymore.

Chaol has recommended that we be something else that we don't care about. Well, I care about this a little bit, because I began my life with a healthy artistic streak in me, but then it went to the bottom of my list as life threw all sorts of other stuff at me. Here I am, forty years later, and I want to be an artist. More to the point, I want to be an "artisan". A craftsperson.

I don't care to do it for fame and fortune. I don't care if I am sitting in a cardboard box in a ditch while weaving twigs together or making unusual marks in the dirt. I want to do it because it thrills me. It makes me happy. It puts me in touch with my real self. I just want to make things. Cool things. Unique things. Creative things.

...and it does not bother me a bit to just give it all away. That makes more room to make more things, IMHO.

So. I guess I am already part-way there, according to what the man in the video is saying. Something that he does not mention is how the "conformers" flip out when they see that you are not conforming. I've had to dig deep for the attitude where I can ignore everybody else's alarm at "OMG! She's doing what she wants to do, and not what I want her to do!" It takes courage to follow one's own star and that can cause a lot of fear in other people.

But, I AM using Chaol's method...and it's working. Every day, I get a little bit better at whatever it is that I am playing with. More and more often, I am left alone to my own devices...to where I can do or not do whatever I feel like doing or not doing...and this feels like heaven to me.
