1
We're addicted to distraction, we're light junkies.
2
Just look at your life experience, look at the impulsivity.
3
Every time you reach for your phone, like how many times a day does that happen?
4
Your tablet, your email, look underneath it, what are you feeling?
5
You're going to find a contraction.
6
We feel this deficient sense of emptiness, we feel that something's missing.
7
consumerism is born of this, right?
8
I want this, I want that, I want, I want, I want.
9
We're so pulled apart from who we are, we've lost touch.
10
Who you think you are is defined by what you do.
11
Who you really are is revealed when you finally stop doing.
12
The very structure of the self is radically threatened when you step into the dark.
13
Dark retreat, it's like a cold plunge.
14
You're entering as close as one can get to a complete sensory deprivation chamber.
15
The amazing thing about darkness is the shock comes from the shock of doing nothing.
16
At first, it can be intensely boring.
17
And that's the painful part.
18
I can't do this, I can't distract, I can't move in the normal ways.
19
About 90 % of people, when they hit the dark, they contract.
20
Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response.
21
But the more time you spend in there, what a surprise, the more you become familiar with the darkness.
22
You relax, you slow down, you surrender.
23
And then the mind starts to fall into itself.
24
In the dark, mind becomes reality because there's nothing else.
25
You first fall in.
26
This is the dimension of the unconscious mind where I like to say all those spiders and snakes hang out.
27
You receive all this undigested, unprocessed, unmetabolized psychic material.
28
Reflections from childhood experiences.
29
It's going to come up to be, in fact, digested and metabolized in the dark.
30
You start to see in the most exquisite and actually painful ways.
31
I am not this, I'm not that.
32
You're basically opening the walls, expanding the walls of your perception box.
33
But eventually, you're going to drop even below that.
34
All the way down to the primordial contraction.
35
The primordial contraction feels like me.
36
It feels like the very sense of self, the very thing that I take as a given.
37
That's the primordial contraction.
38
And then why?
39
You're going to open it.
40
And that's where the gold takes place.
41
You're forced to make this radical introduction to who you really are.
42
So you enter this environment that brings about this kind of dissolution of self -structured identity.
43
You have disappeared to become nothing.
44
You drop even below that.
45
Now you're below the surface structures of your storyline.
46
We look up and we see nothing but blue sky.
47
So you go into the dark, that allows the revelation of literally millions of stars, points of light that represent the unconscious mind.
48
Really good news here is nothing really means everything.
49
Empty of self means full of others.
50
Everything dilates.
51
It's not just your eyes that dilate.
52
Your mind dilates, your heart dilates, your body dilates.
53
Everything opens.
54
This is what darkness brings about.
55
This is the ultimate expansion of all your perception boxes.
56
And as you come back up, you'll start to notice the walls of your perception box contract.
57
They serve as defense mechanisms against the sensory assault of our conventional world.
58
It's the most beautiful and revelatory thing.
59
You realize, oh my gosh, I don't need a grasp, I don't need a contract.
60
I could stay open.
61
And so therefore, the invitation and revelation is, can I hold this level of openness?
62
My sense faculties are open, my mind is open, my heart's open.
63
How do I digest, metabolize, incorporate, make it stable?
64
How do I transform this state into a trait?
65
That's the journey.

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.
