1 Giant Leap² : What About Me?

1 Giant Leap² : What About Me? 2008 Documentary

Bhagavan Das: You've got to realize one thing, and that is - you need to tame your wild, crazy mind. You gotta tame it, alright? Your mind has a very bad habit which we call self-cherishing. And I call it, 'What about me? What about me? What about me? What about me?' And it's a bore, and it's a drag, and nobody wants to hear it. So you can just shut up, and get off of it, and... give. That's all. Give. Give. Be here and give. Connect with people, right? And you're so busy giving that you don't have time to think about yourself. You're going to be a lot happier.

Note: If you guys can't handle this kind of documentary right now cos of the reality you're experiencing (as I have been flipping realities a lot this past decade as well), I can move it to another one of my channels, but I really think this kind of message, an anti-victimhood message, is helpful in our community. But I've also navigated the same realities as most of the visitors to this channel and when I'm in that reality, I see it the same way, but right now I've sort of figured out a different way to view the perspectives and fear-based programming we experience.

(At least appreciate the soul-penetrating music from around the world if you can't get past the opposing views xo)
