Pratique du Shadowing: A Guide To Living Without Regret (Using Science) - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Today, we're going to learn about the neuroscience of how to live life without regrets.
2
And we're going to learn this from a very interesting source, people who have died.
3
When I was working as a psychiatrist, I noticed that a lot of my patients struggled with regret.
4
They may have whatever diagnosis, but when I actually talked to them, what I noticed is that they were filled with regret.
5
And this looked like a lot of different things.
6
So for some of y 'all, this will look like actual regret about the past, where you're kind of thinking about your past and you're saying, man, I really screwed up.
7
I let that relationship get away from me.
8
That was the best relationship.
9
Breaking up with that person was the biggest mistake I made.
10
Or I can't believe that I didn't study harder in school.
11
And so your mind is kind of occupied in the past and you're filled with regret.
12
And then what happens is your mind is
13
so occupied in the past about the mistakes that you made
14
that you can't even think about fixing them or improving your future.
15
So here's my situation.
16
I just got back from vacation.
17
I want to eat food that's nutritious and I want to eat foods that's tasty.
18
And that's where Factor comes in.
19
The cool thing about all these meals is that they're actually dietician approved and they're already in less than two minutes.
20
So we've got jalapeno lime chicken.
21
We've got Indian butter chicken.
22
Oh my goodness.
23
Chipotle rubbed pork chop, turkey, chili, and zucchini, vegan mushroom marsala, and vegetarian tamale bowl.
24
We're going to make a couple of slits and then we're going to go ahead and pop it in the microwave.
25
Did we get a microwave dance?
26
I don't know what a microwave dance is.
27
I can start to smell it.
28
It actually smells pretty good.
29
Let's go and open this bad boy up.
30
Here is our vegetarian tamale bowl.
31
Moment of truth.
32
I think this is what I really like about Factor is
33
that it's really easy to eat nutritious on a day -to -day basis without sacrificing variety, without sacrificing convenience.
34
The food is actually quite delicious like I can absolutely eat this whole thing right now,

36
For some of y 'all, this actually looks like inaction in the present.
37
And how does that relate to regret?
38
Well, you're sort of thinking, well, I don't know what to major in.
39
Should I major in this?
40
Or should I study this?
41
Should I take this job?
42
Should I not take this job?
43
And so sometimes the fear of regret looks like paralysis in the present because you're so worried about making the wrong choice.
44
If I date the wrong person or heaven forbid, I marry the wrong person, then it'll ruin my life and I will be filled with regret.
45
So we're paralyzed to act in the present because we don't know what to do.
46
The third way that this looks, and this is the most unusual, is maybe you're someone who's very, very efficiency oriented.
47
And anything that you do has to be perfect.
48
And even when you do a good job, there's a part of your mind that doesn't even let you enjoy it.
49
And it's kind of beating you up and saying, hey, you could have done this better.
50
You could have done this better.
51
You could have done this better.
52
And if you really tunnel down into that, that's regret too.
53
And so people who are so interested in optimizing every corner of their life, why does your life need to be optimized?
54
What are you looking for?
55
You're looking to wake up tomorrow and not regret the actions of today.
56
So it's really bizarre, but the fear of regret and trying to avoid regret can keep you stuck in the past, keep you paralyzed in the present,
57
and even keep you beating yourself up as you chase a particular future.
58
And so let's understand what is the fear of regret and where does it really come from?
59
And so the key thing about regret is that it relates to time.
60
So if you sort of think about, okay, what should I major in?
61
What should I study in college?
62
If you had an infinite number of years, then you could pick one thing.
63
And then if that didn't work out, you could pick something else.
64
So if you didn't have to worry about this dimension of time, then you don't have to worry about picking the wrong thing.
65
If you have an infinite number of possibilities for relationships, if any particular relationship gets away from you, it doesn't really matter, right?
66
Because you're going to have infinite opportunities in the future.
67
And so if we sort of think about it, what is it that forces us to regret?
68
It's the limitation of time.
69
And if we take it one step further, why is our time limited on this earth?
70
Because we die.
71
So there's this fantastic text called the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, where this group of Tibetan monks sort of figured this out.
72
They figured out that the fundamental problem with attachment of life and regret is the fear of death.
73
Because since we're going to die one day, our time is limited.
74
Obvious, right?
75
If our time is limited, we have to use time efficiently.
76
We can't afford to make mistakes.
77
And if we screw up, that time is never coming back.
78
So regret has to do with limited time.
79
Limited time has to do with the fear of death.
80
How do we tackle this problem and start to learn how to live life without regrets.
81
This is where we're going to turn to neuroscience, and this is where there's a fascinating case that I want to share with y 'all.
82
Generally speaking, when we look at what happens to the brain when we die, we're not actually watching the brain.
83
Someone has died, and then we'll do an autopsy, or we can sort of do a brain scan or something like that.
84
We can measure the anatomical structures, and we can see what happens to the brain.
85
after death.
86
But we don't actually see what happens to the brain when we die.
87
And so there's a really awesome case report that had an EEG, which is an electroencephalogram, which is something that's measuring the electrical activity of the brain.
88
And we've had a couple of cases now in science where we've literally watched the brain die.
89
And what we've learned is incredibly fascinating.
90
The first thing to understand is that when people die, there is a synchronicity of all parts of our brain.
91
And that if you sort of look at what happens is there's this midline cortical structure.
92
There's this one kind of area of the brain that seems to be affected by the process of death.
93
And what we sort of know is that we've seen a bunch of electrical activity, but then we'll have people who go into brain death.
94
We'll see this change in midline cortical activity.
95
We'll see the synchronicity across all the brain.
96
And then if we bring that person back to life, we can actually ask them, what was being dead?
97
What did it feel like?
98
What was it like to actually be dead.
99
And we can actually get answers to what is going on in the brain.
100
So when this goes on in the brain, what is this person's subjective experience?
101
And what we tend to find, and now we've got tons of cases of this kind of stuff, is that when people die, their sense of self kind of dissolves.
102
So they sort of feel this like loss of the barrier of self.
103
So I'm not me anymore.
104
I'm just kind of this formless presence.
105
And I feel really connected to everyone.
106
For some people life flashes before their eyes and every moment of your life kind of like runs through your mind.
107
And that could be that synchronicity across all the brain.
108
So you get this hyper activation of the brain right before you die.
109
But the subjective experience is that I lose my sense of self.
110
I feel like the personhood within me has died.
111
And so the interesting thing is if you ask people like, what was it like to be dead?
112
They actually say it's really great.
113
So there are lots of cases where people really enjoy being dead.
114
I know it's kind of weird, but that's really literally what they say, that when I sort of lose my sense of self, I feel very peaceful.
115
I feel very connected.
116
It feels amazing.
117
It feels like I'm in a womb.
118
I'm not advocating that you'll go kill yourselves.
119
Please don't do that.
120
We're going to teach you how to get all the benefits of that without actually dying.
121
What it comes down to and what people have sort of called this is ego death.
122
So scientists have studied this and even psychologists have studied this.
123
Therapists have studied this.
124
They've concluded that patients go through this experience of ego death when they die.
125
In addition to bodily functions, there's a subjective experience that the sense of self dissolves.
126
And so then the question kind of becomes, okay, if the sense of self dissolves when we die, which makes sense, right?
127
And that makes us feel happy and blissful, then the opposite should be true as well, right?
128
As the sense of self increases, does that increase our pain and suffering of life.
129
And that's what we actually know to be scientifically true as well.
130
And this is where if you look at someone who has schizophrenia, someone who has schizophrenia has an overactive sense of self.
131
Now that may sound kind of weird.
132
I'm not talking about narcissism.
133
Literally what happens in schizophrenia is the part of our brain that associates ourselves with external stimuli is hyperactive.
134
So I'll give you all a really simple example because I know that sounds confusing.
135
So if I'm walking down the street and I walk past someone who's sitting on a park bench,
136
the part of my brain that sort of governs self doesn't connect those two things.
137
So I don't think that the person sitting on the park bench is in any way connected to me.
138
The events that happen, like other people are living their own lives, there's random events going on in the world.
139
It doesn't all tie back to me.
140
I'm over here and there's random crap going on out there.
141
But when you take someone who has something like paranoid schizophrenia, literally what we know from brain scans and tons of scientific studies is
142
that the part of their brain that governs self ties themselves to all kinds of stimuli in the environment.
143
So suddenly two people sitting on a park bench are monitoring me.
144
There's a car that drove past, and then I saw it reverse and park.
145
Holy crap, that person parked because of me.
146
So all of these stimuli all around us suddenly get tied into our sense of self.
147
And this is something that is incredibly, incredibly, I don't know how to, it's like terrible to live through.
148
These people suffer every day because all of these benign stimuli that have nothing to do with me get associated with me.
149
And so we even have evidence that ego death leads to peace and that hyper activation of the ego leads to suffering.
150
We also see this in cases of depression.
151
So this is what's really cool is we can look at studies on psychedelics.
152
And if we look at studies on psychedelics, we know that psychedelics can have a profound positive effect for people who are depressed.
153
And if we look at the mechanism, how does a psychedelic affect and help a person with depression?
154
It turns out that the more ego death they experience during their psychedelic experience determines how much their depression improves.
155
And there are even studies that have looked at the therapeutic value of psychedelics and they've looked at people who haven't benefited.
156
And then they've asked them, what was your psychedelic experience like?
157
And it turns out that the people who had more of an ego death experience, their depression improves.
158
And people who have a psychedelic experience without ego death, their depression actually stays relatively the same.
159
And this is another reason why I don't recommend people go out and just do psychedelics, because it's not that the psychedelic itself magically transforms and gets rid of depression.
160
There seems to be some way to kind of activate that ego death.
161
And that's really what we're looking for.
162
Subjectively, what this feels like is people will say, I feel connected to everyone else.
163
The barriers of self kind of break down, and I'm connected to my other human beings.
164
And this sort of leads to a sense of compassion and stuff like that.
165
And even on the neuroscience standpoint, we kind of know this.
166
We know that when people are depressed, there's a part of their brain that's hyperactive, which is called the default mode network.
167
And the default mode network is the part of our brain that governs our sense of self.
168
And we know that psychedelics disable this.
169
Ketamine, which is a dissociative agent, disables this.
170
And the third thing that's really interesting is meditation disables the default mode network.
171
So now we've reached a point where we kind of have talked to people who have died.
172
We've studied their electrical activity.
173
And we kind of know that as people die, they sort of feel really peaceful.
174
There's this sense of ego death.
175
And the opposite of ego death leads to suffering.
176
So how does the neuroscience of ego death tie into living a life without regrets?
177
And this is where we kind of come back to that Tibetan book of living and dying, where they sort of figured out that what is the cause of the fear of death?
178
How do we as monks conquer the fear of death?
179
And what they concluded is that misidentification with our ego is where the fear of death actually comes from.
180
And this is kind of fascinating, right?
181
Because this is exactly what the neuroscience showed us.
182
When we disidentify from our ego through ego death, then we enter a blissed out state.
183
And the Tibetan monks figured this out thousands of years ago.
184
And so what they sort of figured out is that
185
if you want to live a life of joy and bliss and without regrets, and you want to conquer that fear of death,
186
the way that you do it is by de -identifying with the ego.
187
The Sanskrit term for this is ahamkar, and we're going to dive into this a little bit more.
188
So let's understand how the Ahamkar leads to suffering.
189
So when I sort of think about, so now, like, I was born Alok, right?
190
But at some point, I became Dr. K.
191
And the interesting thing is that once I become Dr. K, I open myself up to all kinds of joy and suffering.
192
So now that I am Dr. K, I'm a big guy.
193
And that pumps up my ego, right?
194
And I sort of feel like I'm a somebody.
195
But the interesting thing that happens is the moment I start pumping up my ego, all these other thoughts kind of come in.
196
Well, what happens if there's going to be a doctor one day who's better than I am, who's more handsome and more beautiful than I am?
197
Oh my God, I'm now 40 years old.
198
I'm getting older.
199
Dr. K is going to be older.
200
There's going to be someone sexier and more beautiful and more knowledgeable and knows more than I do.
201
Oh my God, Dr. K is not going to be so great in the future.
202
Or someone will start shit talking me on the internet, right?
203
And now suddenly, Dr. K, that hurts me because I identify with Dr. K.
204
So the moment that I put on the mantle of this ego identification, I actually open myself up to a lot of pride.
205
But pride doesn't really feel good.
206
Even if it feels good for a little while, anytime you feel prideful, that's not going to last forever.
207
And pride and insecurity go hand in hand.
208
And so I open myself up to a lot of different hurt.
209
And so this is what's kind of weird.
210
The yogis kind of figured out that what I think I am is not really what I am.
211
And you may have experienced this if you sort of thought, oh my God, my life is falling apart.
212
I am screwed.
213
But if you sort of think about I am screwed, the only way you can be screwed is if you were identified with that I.
214
And maybe it's a breakup or maybe it's failing a single class and then you think your life is over, but you're unable to take a step back.
215
And at some point as you grow older, you learn how to take a step back, right?
216
You start to learn, oh, the world doesn't revolve around me.
217
Even though everything with my ego -based life, I thought this was everything in my life, falls apart, it doesn't mean that my life is actually over.
218
So even everyone sort of learns some degree of that distance of identification with the self.
219
And if you really want to conquer this, we're going to teach you a technique that will sort of train you in the process of disidentifying with yourself.
220
And that is something that I call the mech pilot meditation.
221
So when we sort of sit down and think about ourselves, I think of this as part of me.
222
So if you do studies on people and you ask them, if you lost both of your hands, what would you do?
223
And a lot of people would say things like, okay, if I lost both of my hands, I wouldn't even want to be alive.
224
I would kill myself.
225
I would rather be dead than lose both of my lives.
226
This is the way that people think because they think I am me and oh my God, without my hands, I wouldn't be able to live.
227
The interesting thing is when you actually have accidents with people who lose limbs ahead of time.
228
They think that they don't want to live, but afterwards, basically everyone adapts.
229
Like 95, I don't have specific statistics, but I want to say 95 to 99 % of people actually adapt to losing a limb
230
and are actually totally fine with it.
231
So it's that idea of who they are in the life
232
that they can live that sort of gets changed and human beings learn to adapt.
233
So that's not really who you are.
234
And the sense of self changes, right?
235
Your thoughts change, your identity changes.
236
Today I'm a doctor, but I wasn't born a doctor, but I'm still me.
237
I was me when I'm born and I'm me now, but doctor isn't necessarily a part of it, right?
238
Because if doctor is a core part of my identity, then it had to be there when I was born.
239
So there's kind of this weird thing that the yogis kind of figured out, which is that there's a transcendent sense of self.
240
Your emotions change on a day -to -day basis.
241
What you identify changes on a day -to -day basis.
242
Hell, even your gender, for some people, changes over the course of their life.
243
So there's a lot of stuff about our ego that we think we are where we're really none of those things.
244
And the yogis actually figured out a way to teach you who you truly are.
245
And that's the mech pilot meditation.
246
And so is it possible to achieve dissolution of the ego or separation from the ego without dying or using psychedelics?
247
And the answer is absolutely.
248
Thankfully, these Tibetan monks and people in ancient India actually figured this out.
249
So I'm going to teach you all something called the Mech Pilot Meditation.
250
That's not the original Sanskrit.
251
That's just sort of my adaptation, okay?
252
So we have to start by understanding a little bit about what the ego is from a yogic perspective
253
and what the true self is from the yogic perspective.
254
So what the yogis and monks in ancient India, China, Tibet basically figured out is that there's one part of us that is constant, and that is really what we really truly are.
255
So if you sort of think about your body and mind, the observation that they made is that the body and mind changes over time.
256
And so, for example, who I am can't be my body because I'm always me, but my body is different.
257
So when I'm first born, I, you know, I'm very small, like I'm maybe like a foot tall.
258
And then as I go on throughout my life, my body will change, but I'm always me.
259
And they sort of tunnel down even further and realize that even these things in the mind, which we normally identify with, even if we don't identify with the body, because even if you lose a limb,
260
like let's say something happens and I lose a hand or I lose a foot, I'm still me.
261
And so the next thing that they kind of looked at is, okay, is me or does me come from the mind?
262
And they sort of concluded that similarly, me does not come from the mind.
263
So the ego comes from the mind, but who you truly are is outside of the mind as well.
264
And the way that they kind of observed this is that they noticed that once again, the mind fluctuates.
265
So all the activities of the mind are never permanent.
266
All of our emotions, all of our thoughts, even our sense of ego or identity will change over time.
267
I used to be a winner and now I'm a loser.
268
Therefore, that's not really constant.
269
What they tunnel down into and what they discovered is the one thing that is constant is your capacity to experience, observe, or witness.
270
So I know this sounds kind of weird, but if you think about any experience that you've had in life, whether it's good or bad, whether it's painful or pleasurable,
271
the one common element, the one thing that ties together every part of your life is the fact that you experienced it.
272
And even Descartes kind of tunneled down into this or discovered this with cogito ergo sum, which means I think, therefore I am.
273
And what Descartes sort of looked at is he said that, okay, I can't trust my mind.
274
Maybe my mind has hallucinations.
275
Sometimes people think wrong things.
276
So even sensory perceptions can be wrong.
277
But the one thing that is Descartes' foundation as well is no matter whether I'm hallucinating or not, there is at least something that is experiencing the hallucinations.
278
And the yogis discovered the exact same thing.
279
So if we want to disidentify from the ego, and the ego is going to be sort of the way that we attach ourselves to our body and our mind, the way to do that is the mech pilot meditation.
280
And this meditation is very, very simple, but it's actually quite difficult.
281
And you have to do it for a long period of time to really see results.
282
So all you have to do for the mech pilot meditation, just close your eyes and all of the parts of you that you think are you,
283
imagine that you are a pilot controlling a mech.
284
And so if I tell my arm, so this is my arm, right?
285
So I think that this is part of me.
286
But if I kind of just wave it through the air with my eyes closed, what you'll kind of notice is
287
that you can send a command from somewhere up here and that the body will hopefully listen.
288
You can also send a command from somewhere up here and the mind will hopefully listen.
289
And you all may have sort of realized this, that sometimes you get your you try to get your mind to do stuff, but the mind doesn't actually listen.
290
And so the question becomes, OK, if I'm trying to force my mind to focus, which part of me?
291
is forcing the mind to focus because it's clearly not like I'm trying to force my mind, right?
292
So in that moment, my mind is outside of me.
293
It's something that I'm trying to exert control over.
294
So the yogis basically figured out, and this is what I encourage you all to do in the mech pilot meditation,
295
is notice that the things that you normally think are you are actually objects for you to act on.
296
So whether it's flexing my hand, right?
297
Or it's directing my mind to do something and then something interesting happens.
298
As you all sort of notice that these things are outside of you, you can also ground yourself kind of in this awareness.
299
And it's kind of hard to describe, but if you close your eyes and you sort of notice, where do you witness things?
300
Where do you sort of feel that interpretation of body signals?
301
Where is that center where all of this sensory information comes from?
302
It actually comes from somewhere up here.
303
So what I want you all to do in the MechPilot meditation is first of all, just observe that all of the things that are you are actually things
304
that you can look down on as a mech pilot.
305
And the second step to the meditation is to actually start to sit in
306
that place when you feel identified with the body or the mind.
307
So I recently did this.
308
I got food poisoning recently.
309
And this was one of the challenges that I used to have where even with food poisoning, I feel like I'm suffering.
310
But the more that I sit inside the MechPilot, the more tolerable the suffering becomes.
311
And my original research when I was doing this work at Harvard Medical School was actually on patients with chronic pain, and I would teach them to meditate.
312
And then I would kind of ask them, hey, what is your pain score when you learn how to meditate?
313
And the interesting thing about this study was that they found that the pain scores did not actually improve.
314
So if you teach someone to meditate who's got metastatic cancer, their pain doesn't actually get better.
315
But as I talked to them, I said, but you are feeling better.
316
Why is that?
317
And they said, well, it feels like there's a window between me and the pain.
318
The pain hasn't actually gotten better.
319
It's just it affects me less.
320
So this principle is actually tied into this idea of the mech pilot meditation.
321
And the more that you can take distance from yourself and sort of just sit and notice the experience,
322
notice the witness, the more that you can take a step back from your life, the more chill your life will become.
323
And as you get stronger in this technique, as you learn how to witness and just sit with your experience,
324
what you'll start to discover is that your life will have fewer and fewer regrets.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
