1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040 Good morning. So quick one today about construct versus reality. Which one do you 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,280 choose to live? Differentiate between what is a construct and what is a 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,960 reality. As leaders you're going to be deciding the quality of your life, of 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,500 your connections, of who you think you are and what really things mean to you. 5 00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:24,960 This is crucial for you to achieve centredness and balance not only in your 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,400 personal life but the lives of people you live with, work with, play with and so on. 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,520 So first what is a construct? Construct is derived from a language, any language 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,560 that you speak. In this one, in this video it's English. The language centre of 9 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,320 your brain there's a tiny spot, there's a tiny centre in the brain which is the 10 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,680 language centre. That's where you learn language. The human brain that's what we 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,960 are talking about. You can Google more and you'll know more. This is the centre from 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,400 which we learn things as a language. Whatever native language and whatever 13 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,960 other languages you know. And different languages around the world have 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,600 different limitations. In the interpretations of words, what they 15 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,040 mean, their limitations of vocabulary, what constructs they are using, all of 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,360 these come under the ambit of constructs. These are constructs. These are 17 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,680 assumed meanings. These are not anything to do with reality. Construct has to do 18 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,520 with derived meaning which is based in language which is just a mental derivation 19 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,280 of what the meaning is. And the meaning keeps changing depending on the type of 20 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,440 language I'm using to speak it. Certain things in German don't mean the same 21 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,640 things in French and they don't mean the same thing in Hindi and so on. 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,320 There is a connotation meaning there may be some word, some meanings which are 23 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:46,160 absentee to a particular language. This is very common folks, very very common, more 24 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,000 common than you think. So language is the limitation of a construct. So all 25 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,040 constructs are made out of language which is made out of the mind. The meaning 26 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,000 only goes so far as the meanings are ascribed to it and nothing more. 27 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000 This is why different languages can be very different. 28 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:18,000 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. 29 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Keep the people locked in a kind of hypnotic France. But you don't know what they are talking about. 30 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:36,000 It all sounds fancy, that's hypnotic. It sounds fancy, you go back to school, college or work or anything. 31 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Nothing about it made any sense other than you put some things, mood some things around. 32 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000 That is hypnotic and that is meaningless to the reality that you are living. 33 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Just imagine for a second if your reality was dependent on your language. Do you think the language dictates reality? 34 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Do you think what I know as vocabulary or what any individual knows as vocabulary and their language or whatever they understand is reality? 35 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Is just reality dependent upon a bunch of language, words? Is that really true? 36 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Is my reality dependent on the language I know or use? 37 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Is reality limited by how much I can ascribe and describe it? Really? 38 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Do you think language is ultimate decider of reality? 39 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Let's speak of reality as I am proposing here. 40 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:38,000 The reality on the other hand is something that is felt, sensed, perceived as an energy form, as a state of being. 41 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000 This is the feeling sensing, perceiving form of existence. It is not a construct of the mind. 42 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000 It is a sense that in your five senses, first of all we are five senses, 43 00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:01,000 our perception of the feelings, thoughts, emotions, everything that we are encountering, thoughts not as the language. 44 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:10,000 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. 45 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000 This is the goal of all connections we are looking for in humans as gregarious creatures. 46 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:27,000 This law that we decide, it's not the law, sorry, this law that we decide of feeling is not a construct of language, 47 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:36,000 but it's a reality beyond language. It is not an obsession, same thing as reality. 48 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000 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. 49 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000 That's the center point. The new human model as you are seeing on the left side of the screen, 50 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:56,000 with understanding, compassion, love, knowledge, balance and beauty, these are the six aspects which we are, 51 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 which we are looking for from the external world. 52 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Okay, that's where you are going to start working with. 53 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000 What would examples of construct be? It would be words, it's just wordy age and vocabulary, words like work, education, religion, play, 54 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000 career, goals, target, company, institution, management, leadership, money, finance, banks, contracts, routine habits. 55 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000 These are all words. They don't mean anything. Nothing, zero. 56 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,000 They are constructed forms of meaning. Everything else that you have studied literally, all the educational systems that you have studied, 57 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000 in all the college degree, management degree is this. It's just wordy age. 58 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000 It's a bunch of constructs. It's not a reality. Reality is like understanding compassion and understanding love, balance, beauty. 59 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:56,000 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 60 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000 and are actually dealing with on a day to day basis. You are not dealing with anything else really. 61 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000 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 62 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000 by those four actions, expand, engage, regenerate and create. That's the new human being model. 63 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:26,000 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, 64 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000 beyond constructs, beyond mind, beyond limitation of thought, beyond what stuff you can make up with your fancy, verby age as you go along. 65 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Just being a wordmaster does not help. That's the stuff of mind. It is not the reality. 66 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 So make this first distinction and I just want to leave you with these two kinds of things. 67 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Otherwise, this in and of itself is so much of dissolving of the old construct. 68 00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:03,000 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. 69 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000 We can use the word, verby age and verbiology and the vocabulary and everything else. 70 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:21,000 But this is not reality. Reality is that the reality of each of us as a human being is that we are about compassion. 71 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000 We are about love. We are about understanding. We are about knowledge. We are about balance. We are about beauty. 72 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000 This is not who who stuff chief. This is what you're looking for, Mr. Leader. 73 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Even in your personal life, you're looking for understanding. You're looking for that compassion. 74 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000 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. 75 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000 You're looking and seeking to knowledge and expand your knowledge all the time. 76 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000 You're seeking balance. That great slogan that corporate people love to talk about, work-life balance. 77 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000 What is that balance you're seeking? What is the sense of beauty? Where are you seeking beauty in your life? 78 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Is there something at all? Is there nothing in the department? 79 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 You've got to learn to work with this example. 80 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000 You are constantly seeking to achieve in life, not that salary or promotion or teamwork or anything else. 81 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Those are all again constructs. But these six things. 82 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Because these six things form the core and essence of your being. 83 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Your being seeks reflection of whatever it is in the external world. 84 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000 And you do that by those four actions, the arrows that are coming out from the human figure there. 85 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000 You seek compassion because you are compassion. You seek love because you are love. That kind of a thing. 86 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000 You can extend this. Next week, we go to the four human actions and engage creatively, generally. 87 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:51,000 These are the actions which the humans use to bring forth that reflection which is already in us. 88 00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000 These six are already in every human being. We are seeking that reflection from the external so that it feeds us like food. 89 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000 So that it nurtures us like food. 90 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:12,000 For us, this is an nurturing aspect. We use these four actions to interact with existence all around us. 91 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000 To do what? To create the six things, to expand the six things, to regenerate the six things. 92 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000 This is what we are doing all the time. Whether you realize it or not. 93 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Now, why I am saying this is because leaders tend to regurgitate all the old BS constructs. 94 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Just words, words, words and words. It's not reality. It's not going to do you or anyone in the world. 95 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000 If you want to connect with people, connect with yourself first in that way. 96 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000 It's a construct but it's a reality. 97 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000 The humans here. 98 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 If you don't know what I am talking about, New Human Being Model, you can go through the playlist. 99 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 I have linked up in my YouTube channel. You can follow the other stuff of leadership. 100 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000 If any of these resonates, I am going to be putting out more and more stuff as I keep hitting them. 101 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000 This is what I got for this morning. Be an awesome leader wherever you are. 102 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000 You are awesome by default. Just don't choose to go with constructs. 103 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,000 That's the talk for today. Be safe. Be awesome, my leaders.
