Good morning. So quick one today about construct versus reality. Which one do you
choose to live? Differentiate between what is a construct and what is a
reality. As leaders you're going to be deciding the quality of your life, of
your connections, of who you think you are and what really things mean to you.
This is crucial for you to achieve centredness and balance not only in your
personal life but the lives of people you live with, work with, play with and so on.
So first what is a construct? Construct is derived from a language, any language
that you speak. In this one, in this video it's English. The language centre of
your brain there's a tiny spot, there's a tiny centre in the brain which is the
language centre. That's where you learn language. The human brain that's what we
are talking about. You can Google more and you'll know more. This is the centre from
which we learn things as a language. Whatever native language and whatever
other languages you know. And different languages around the world have
different limitations. In the interpretations of words, what they
mean, their limitations of vocabulary, what constructs they are using, all of
these come under the ambit of constructs. These are constructs. These are
assumed meanings. These are not anything to do with reality. Construct has to do
with derived meaning which is based in language which is just a mental derivation
of what the meaning is. And the meaning keeps changing depending on the type of
language I'm using to speak it. Certain things in German don't mean the same
things in French and they don't mean the same thing in Hindi and so on.
There is a connotation meaning there may be some word, some meanings which are
absentee to a particular language. This is very common folks, very very common, more
common than you think. So language is the limitation of a construct. So all
constructs are made out of language which is made out of the mind. The meaning
only goes so far as the meanings are ascribed to it and nothing more.
This is why different languages can be very different.
And so what people understand by them is just in mind, in the brain. Language in the sense only becomes a means of hypnotic kind of stance which has been used by people in power.
Keep the people locked in a kind of hypnotic France. But you don't know what they are talking about.
It all sounds fancy, that's hypnotic. It sounds fancy, you go back to school, college or work or anything.
Nothing about it made any sense other than you put some things, mood some things around.
That is hypnotic and that is meaningless to the reality that you are living.
Just imagine for a second if your reality was dependent on your language. Do you think the language dictates reality?
Do you think what I know as vocabulary or what any individual knows as vocabulary and their language or whatever they understand is reality?
Is just reality dependent upon a bunch of language, words? Is that really true?
Is my reality dependent on the language I know or use?
Is reality limited by how much I can ascribe and describe it? Really?
Do you think language is ultimate decider of reality?
Let's speak of reality as I am proposing here.
The reality on the other hand is something that is felt, sensed, perceived as an energy form, as a state of being.
This is the feeling sensing, perceiving form of existence. It is not a construct of the mind.
It is a sense that in your five senses, first of all we are five senses,
our perception of the feelings, thoughts, emotions, everything that we are encountering, thoughts not as the language.
For example, let's talk of love, which all human beings irrespective of any language or other world want to sense, feel, know all of the time.
This is the goal of all connections we are looking for in humans as gregarious creatures.
This law that we decide, it's not the law, sorry, this law that we decide of feeling is not a construct of language,
but it's a reality beyond language. It is not an obsession, same thing as reality.
It's the reality of both beyond language. It's the center point of the new human model which is on the left side you see.
That's the center point. The new human model as you are seeing on the left side of the screen,
with understanding, compassion, love, knowledge, balance and beauty, these are the six aspects which we are,
which we are looking for from the external world.
Okay, that's where you are going to start working with.
What would examples of construct be? It would be words, it's just wordy age and vocabulary, words like work, education, religion, play,
career, goals, target, company, institution, management, leadership, money, finance, banks, contracts, routine habits.
These are all words. They don't mean anything. Nothing, zero.
They are constructed forms of meaning. Everything else that you have studied literally, all the educational systems that you have studied,
in all the college degree, management degree is this. It's just wordy age.
It's a bunch of constructs. It's not a reality. Reality is like understanding compassion and understanding love, balance, beauty.
The reality of your being. We are talking of the beingness here. These realities that you sense, feel are the realities which you are going to be dealing with
and are actually dealing with on a day to day basis. You are not dealing with anything else really.
That's the essence of your being which is in that human being figure and that's what you are looking to bring into the world from the external world
by those four actions, expand, engage, regenerate and create. That's the new human being model.
That's the reality you have got to acknowledge and work with and guide the rest of your life and everything you sense, feel, perceive and know is reality is beyond language,
beyond constructs, beyond mind, beyond limitation of thought, beyond what stuff you can make up with your fancy, verby age as you go along.
Just being a wordmaster does not help. That's the stuff of mind. It is not the reality.
So make this first distinction and I just want to leave you with these two kinds of things.
Otherwise, this in and of itself is so much of dissolving of the old construct.
There is so much of construct as a junkyard in everybody's mind that we have to first get rid of this stuff, all the constructs, all the education that we have got.
We can use the word, verby age and verbiology and the vocabulary and everything else.
But this is not reality. Reality is that the reality of each of us as a human being is that we are about compassion.
We are about love. We are about understanding. We are about knowledge. We are about balance. We are about beauty.
This is not who who stuff chief. This is what you're looking for, Mr. Leader.
Even in your personal life, you're looking for understanding. You're looking for that compassion.
Someone shows you when you are goofed up. You're looking for that love at the end of the day when you go to your home and family.
You're looking and seeking to knowledge and expand your knowledge all the time.
You're seeking balance. That great slogan that corporate people love to talk about, work-life balance.
What is that balance you're seeking? What is the sense of beauty? Where are you seeking beauty in your life?
Is there something at all? Is there nothing in the department?
You've got to learn to work with this example.
You are constantly seeking to achieve in life, not that salary or promotion or teamwork or anything else.
Those are all again constructs. But these six things.
Because these six things form the core and essence of your being.
Your being seeks reflection of whatever it is in the external world.
And you do that by those four actions, the arrows that are coming out from the human figure there.
You seek compassion because you are compassion. You seek love because you are love. That kind of a thing.
You can extend this. Next week, we go to the four human actions and engage creatively, generally.
These are the actions which the humans use to bring forth that reflection which is already in us.
These six are already in every human being. We are seeking that reflection from the external so that it feeds us like food.
So that it nurtures us like food.
For us, this is an nurturing aspect. We use these four actions to interact with existence all around us.
To do what? To create the six things, to expand the six things, to regenerate the six things.
This is what we are doing all the time. Whether you realize it or not.
Now, why I am saying this is because leaders tend to regurgitate all the old BS constructs.
Just words, words, words and words. It's not reality. It's not going to do you or anyone in the world.
If you want to connect with people, connect with yourself first in that way.
It's a construct but it's a reality.
The humans here.
If you don't know what I am talking about, New Human Being Model, you can go through the playlist.
I have linked up in my YouTube channel. You can follow the other stuff of leadership.
If any of these resonates, I am going to be putting out more and more stuff as I keep hitting them.
This is what I got for this morning. Be an awesome leader wherever you are.
You are awesome by default. Just don't choose to go with constructs.
That's the talk for today. Be safe. Be awesome, my leaders.
