You are paid to solve problems. And you have to know when you observe this and you see that when you have a soul problem, you rack your brains. And if you cannot figure out a way, then what's the the conventional wisdom? It's really really wise. The advice for ordinary people is sleep on it. It helps. You keep on racking your brains. You can't find solution, sleep on it. Repeat the process, sleep on it. And quite often you'll find solution when you wake up naturally. Why? It's the process where you rock your brain. Your brain is spinning like crazy. When you take a break, you sleep on it. That's when your conscious mind stops spinning. That's when the other mind kicks in. This is your own doing, no one else's. So that's why keep this in mind when you have to fix a problem. We have to figure out our solution and you can't you have to work hard and you've tried everything. You can't sleep on it. It's going to help tremendously. Number one, this is what ordinary people we sharing with all of them, all of you out there. That's a natural process that you have access to. Sleep on it. Don't be lazy. If you're lazy, say, "Okay, I have a problem. Let me go to sleep." That won't work. When you have a problem, you do your research. You work. You try to figure it out. Okay? You burn midnight oil. I don't care. But then after you exhausted all your resources, done all the mental work that you're supposed to sleep on it. You'll be amazed on how you see a pattern that eventually you see. Wow, I got lucky. I woke up. I following day all of a sudden I can see through it. Because the magic is when to when you sleep again is because the conscious mind stops spinning. The spinning mind is what's is what is stopping you. You have to stop that. Then you May have a chance to break through. Better scenario for you. I need to tell you this. This is why I'm here in San Jose. People don't realize why I'm teaching you the technology to solve problems better. Because the future our country, the future your family, future of your children depends on your being able to fix problem, figure out problems in Silicon Valley. Okay? We are the center of innovation for the country for California. We need to need to keep on inventing, inventing, inventing. Chan is the major source for you to continue your creativity. What you do? You work. You do your homework. Okay? You do research. You rock your brains and you sleep on it. That's natural. And you keep on doing that after a few days. It doesn't work. Then you know that you cannot break through by yourself because when you sleep it has something magical happens it will break through the blockages your mental blockages that's the secret to ordinary people. So that's why sometimes ordinary people when they stuck they get up take a walk run exercise listen to music it's akin to sleeping on it. You understand? You have to stop thinking about it. That's when the magic happens. You have to relax. You You keep If you keep on spinning your wheel, it's not going to help you. Period. When you spin your wheel to extreme, you stop. Take a break. Don't think about it. That's sleeping or listening to music. Sleeping is better than listening music to music by the way or walking by the way. Just for ordinary people. But for you, okay, after you rock your brains and you can't figure it out and you sleep on it, after 2 three days you still cannot break through. That's when after you rack your brains, don't sleep. You cross your legs and you sit on it. That's all. And when you sit on it, chances are that you can break through. You have a better chance of breaking through than sleeping because of your child skills. Ordinary people don't have it. This is your advantage. Anyone, any of you, I don't care. You're an engineer, you are in in the finance sector, you're a nurse, it doesn't matter. You have a problem you can't fix, meditate. It's better than sleeping because your child skills. Number three, this is a clear advantage of you. When you still can't figure out from meditation, you go to the temple, you recite the morning ceremony, you participate in evening ceremony. It doesn't matter. You go to the temple. Don't sleep. Go to the temple or tune in to to the mantra sessions online in person is better. If you have that person who recites mantra there, Master C or Master XZ, being there in person is better than tuning in online. If you do that, the breakthrough, the chances of breakthrough far greater because let me let me explain to you why you're stuck. You're stuck because it's up here in your brains. It's stuck. It gets to this wall and it cannot break through. It keeps on spinning and spinning and when it's like you you you run, right? And you try to break through a wall and the wall is too strong for you. No, no matter how fast you you run, you cannot break through. This is when you ride on someone else spin, someone else's strength through the recitation. And because when you do that, the analogy is that you spin faster, you run stronger, you run faster, and that's how you can break through. That's the process. I want to train all of you to be better problem solvers. That's the secret. All of it is no problem that cannot be fixed eventually. [music and bell] Atofo.
