1
How many of you know your old primary question and you understand a lot of where challenges come from in your life, your old primary question?
2
Tony Robbins!
3
In the process of doing primary question, closed-eye process, a lot of exercises we do here are based on pleasure and pain.
4
And when you do that, when you put a lot of pain and magnify it, you like reject your guidance, you reject that God inside you that was doing good things for you.
5
And when you do it consistently, you're kind of like create uncertainty for the future.
6
Because if you reject your past, how can you really live in the future?
7
Well, your first limiting belief is that if I look at consequences in the past that I contributed to,
8
that somehow that's showing that God did something wrong.
9
What need are you trying for so hard right now?
10
I want all of you to notice which need he's trying to meet.
11
Shout it out quick.
12
Shout it out quick.
13
Everybody in the room knows it but him.
14
What he's really saying is, I got myself, I felt certain, and then you asked me a question, and that question made me think this, and then I felt uncertain, and then I felt this way.
15
You're addicted to certainty.
16
This is all about you trying to be certain, and then you're making up a whole f*ing story about it.
17
So here's the truth.
18
God is available all the time.
19
God's through you, breathing through you.
20
There are no mistakes if we learn from them.
21
But if we don't learn from them, they are mistakes and we will have another one.
22
God doesn't interfere with your choices.
23
You can override God's flow.
24
Is there value in every experience?
25
I believe 100%.
26
Is life always happening for us?
27
I believe 100%.
28
But how it happens for us is we figure how to use it.
29
It's like faith without works is dead, my friend.
30
They're just gonna be, faith and I'm not gonna do anything.
31
Those are the people that keep saying, God's gonna save me and they send the helicopter and they send the bus and they send the boat and they die.
32
That's what you're doing right now out of your need for certainty.
33
So you don't need to play this black and white this or that game, right or wrong.
34
You are living in what color right now?
35
The same level of consciousness that created his pain will not solve it.
36
That's why he's still in But notice he wants to find an external reason for it.
37
He said, I followed the instructions and the instructions made me do this, which denies God.
38
Which color is that?
39
Sound it out loud?
40
There are 6,000 people and everybody in this room knows it but you.
41
Because you're in blue.
42
Right, wrong, good, bad.
43
Life is not black and white, my friend.
44
There's so many shades.
45
You don't want any duality because duality makes you uncertain uncertain with duality as part of life.
46
Two things can be true at the same time, but you want it to be only one way you want the simple route
47
and God is calling you right now by making you uncomfortable to make you wake the fk up
48
that life is more complex than this simple little thing you want to do
49
so you can settle for certainty because you're a much more powerful man than
50
that but you're settling so you're being called right now to the adventure
51
and where you can still succeed and not live in pain
52
but you can't do it by hanging on to dear life to try to make everything fit your box.
53
That's blue.
54
And there's nothing wrong with the blue.
55
It's beautiful.
56
There are principles to blue.
57
There's loyalty in blue.
58
There's a commitment to a higher standard in blue.
59
There's a commitment to God in blue.
60
But the limitations to blue and the reason you eventually grow beyond blue, where blue is still part of you, but you're not making it dominate,
61
is it takes everything and reduces it to this or that.
62
And life is not this or that.
63
And God is not so limited as this or that.
64
But if you're blue, you believe it does and you get very uptight, a lot of tension in your body if you think anything other than that.
65
Because blue is about certainty first.
66
It's an extension.
67
Purple's got to try to find a way to get some certainty.
68
So purple does it by what?
69
Rituals, the tribe, being around, find someone to protect me.
70
Red finds certainty in its anger and domination.
71
And it now wants not just certainty, it wants significance.
72
The only reason you leave red to go to blue is because either a bigger red comes along, a bigger warrior, a more intense one,
73
or you're aging, or you've done everything you know how to do as that king.
74
There's got to be more.
75
So the more is hereafter.
76
I don't want you to be king now.
77
I want to be king forever.
78
I want to be the red dominant forever.
79
So what are the, how do I do that?
80
What are the rules for doing that.
81
And now it's about certainty and significance and a little bit of connection, but only connection to what complies with those rules.
82
And everything else is judged as harshly as you judge yourself, my friend.
83
That's the problem.
84
You're not judging the process.
85
You want to judge something because you judge yourself so much, and that's what makes you most uncertain.
86
So you can't solve a problem with the same level of consciousness that created it.
87
So what would be the next level of consciousness for you?
88
This is the level of certainty I've never experienced before.
89
I'm not afraid of talking to you like I used to be afraid of like standing up
90
and I'm not afraid of like disagreeing with I think what you just said.
91
Yeah.
92
I think certain blue definitely drives this
93
because like I have a PhD from Stanford
94
and I really like dug into your work
95
and like built my own system right
96
And then I found it was a logical contradiction that my mind found during the process.
97
Yes.
98
Well, it's going to be contradictions when your operating principle is it's this or that, good or bad, right or wrong.
99
Whereas in a different level of consciousness, you wouldn't see it contradictory at all.
100
You'd say, oh, this is a complementary because God is providing all this for me and I'm making choices.
101
And by my seeing consequences, my brain can say, no, we're not going to go there.
102
That's how my brain's learned everything so that I stay in center with God.
103
It wouldn't be a contradiction at all in a different level of consciousness, but in blue, Everything's a contradiction.
104
Doesn't match the exact rules you have.
105
They give you absolute certainty that you're enjoying so much right now.
106
By the way, blues are very certain.
107
Blues are not afraid.
108
They'll go to war with other people.
109
They'll kill people over the name of God.
110
That's how certain they are.
111
So certainty is not evidence of spiritual evolution.
112
It's the ego hanging on through your life.
113
Ego is fear.
114
And so the contradiction here is to try to find certainty by hanging on to a model of the world
115
that he's developed now that makes him feel more certain, so he's pulled towards it because it makes him feel good.
116
So anything contradicts it, we should get rid of.
117
Everybody in the room can see where you are but you because when you're in it, you're like a fish in water and you're addicted to it.
118
So it doesn't matter what we say.
119
Blues will sit there in the face of absolute reality and deny it, even die on the cross for it.
120
I'm not talking about Jesus.
121
I'm talking about somebody saying this is what's true and that's how it's going to be.
122
I'm not here.
123
I don't kick people.
124
I just keep it available for you if you're willing to see the inside
125
But you're not right now because man are you hanging on to your certainty, but love is a lot more powerful So is growth and there's no growth available in blue
126
Not beyond where you are right now blue has been growth for you from where you were.
127
That's why you like it I think that's fantastic.
128
So stay in your blue and you'll have continued contradictions and inner battles and fights And that's okay.
129
Eventually you get tired of that and you move up.
130
People don't move another level of consciousness till they pretty much have to.
131
That's why most people in a lifetime, according to Graves, I didn't agree with this, but having spent decades doing it now, most people in a lifetime move one level two max.
132
So I'm gonna arm myself and protect myself with certainty of this is how it is.
133
And that wall that protects you is the one that's imprisoning you, my friend.
134
I know it feels good right now.
135
It won't eventually.
136
And I don't care what color you're in.
137
I think they're all valuable.
138
I would just like you to have a position of choice because then you're going to have a much better life.
139
If you can move, like I said earlier, like if there was a fire in here, I'm not going to go green.
140
If I'm going to be with a friend, I'm not going to be orange and try to, you know, trade.
141
I'm going to be in my green.
142
If I'm dealing with a business shark, I bring out my orange, right? the ability to move between them.
143
I move to my yellow so that I don't have to just do it based on hierarchy or the system.
144
The system's constantly changing based on different elements that are available.
145
Or I'm in turquoise if I'm fortunate enough and I can just feel everything and I know the perfection of it, including this evolution in this moment.
146
So the goal is not to peg you.
147
The goal is to free yourself to be able to move up and down and that will give you more than protection.
148
That will give you freedom.
149
It shows total weakness inside you.
150
It shows fear and there's nothing wrong with having fear and weakness, But the cure for weakness is pushing through the pain of uncertainty
151
and being open to something else instead of being so locked in to what will make you feel good.
152
And you're doing a great job in your body right now.
153
I'm seeing you making those adjustments, letting go of some of the tension in your body because I'm on your side.
154
Where is Blue Awesome to use?
155
Like you said, business and all this.
156
Oh, I think business and technology is where I am.
157
Like Blue is everything.
158
Like Elon Musk is using Blue like every single day, scientific method.
159
That's why he was able to figure out how to buy Twitter upfront and then like...
160
Blue is not the scientific method.
161
Blue is a set of rules that someone told you and you just accepted them.
162
The scientific method is you go out and test it, but this is how married you are to blue.
163
You've made up qualities for blue that don't exist.
164
The scientific method is when you're in blue, you're following these rules blindly so you can be certain and know you're a good enough person and everything's right.
165
It's all going to be there and anybody else is wrong, right?
166
And you defend yourself from those people.
167
Orange goes, I'm so tired of living something someone else taught me years ago.
168
I wanted my own experience of God.
169
Let me try something.
170
Let me test.
171
Let me see.
172
That is not blue.
173
I agree.
174
It was probably an overstatement.
175
No what?
176
Overstatement.
177
No, it's called false.
178
Not an overstatement.
179
There's no ounce of blue that is the scientific method.
180
In fact, you can't use the scientific method and stay blue.
181
in some of their contexts, but not here.
182
It's completely opposite consciousness.
183
And by the way, people get stuck in orange then, where everything I have to test and prove and compete to know.
184
And if I do better than someone else, then that's the right one.
185
But you can do better than someone else, and it might be the right one for the moment, but not sustainable.
186
And then somebody gets stuck in green, right?
187
We're all equals.
188
And then nothing gets done because we're not all equals.
189
You're superior to me in some ways.
190
I'm gonna be superior to you in some ways.
191
That's a fact, you've lived a different life than I have.
192
I look like a kindergartner to you.
193
And you might look that way to me when you do with your levels of consciousness.
194
But I don't look at you that way.
195
I look at you as my brother who's going through the same steps as I've gone through just in a different way, at a different time, in a different phase.
196
I'm not 37 anymore.
197
My blue was earlier than that for me, but I certainly had the blue too, buddy.
198
you

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.
