1
You know, we're in kind of a tough situation right now
2
because there are millions of people out there that feel like something in their life is missing.
3
There's a void in people's souls.
4
And this is becoming more and more common with every single day that passes.
5
And I think it's even more prevalent with our youth.
6
Anyone from millennial and above, they feel this.
7
I feel this.
8
As a matter of fact, let me know in the comments below if you too feel this.
9
But it's very, very prevalent today.
10
And it's something that people can't quite put their finger on.
11
it's something we can't quite explain, but it's very intuitive.
12
For me personally, there's not a single day
13
that goes by where I don't feel like I was born a century or two too late.
14
And I feel like the time period around the 1700s
15
and 1800s probably resonates with me the most because people lived with intention back then.
16
Everything that everyone did was very purpose-driven and it was that way because it had to be.
17
That was just the lifestyle.
18
People were farming, they were gardening, They were doing things to produce and provide for their tribe
19
and for their families And it was a sense of being productive, but it was productive for a purpose Today we're productive.
20
As a matter of fact, I would say that we're maxing out production But in my view, we're doing it for the wrong reasons
21
because now we're productive for Someone else we're literally fulfilling Someone else's dream the jobs
22
that we show up at and the careers that we put under our belts We do that for other people
23
We do it for the greater good, for the economy and for the industry.
24
But we're not really doing it for ourselves.
25
We're not doing it for the people around us that mean something to us.
26
And when I think about this void that I myself have, I believe that void for me is a longing.
27
It's a longing for a past that we can't access anymore.
28
It's a time period that's completely gone.
29
Because the things I long for, the void that I'm trying to fill, it's nature.
30
It's that lifestyle, you know, doing stuff that is productive, doing stuff for tribe and that is purpose driven and just living a life with intention.
31
And I find myself trying to establish that life around myself as much as I possibly can.
32
And the closer I get to that, the better I feel, the more intentional my life feels, the more purpose I have, the more fulfilled I am.
33
And for me, I think the drive for self-reliance and living a life with intention stems from my background.
34
because my background is Cherokee.
35
It's Native American.
36
And I know that my ancestors, they live that way.
37
And this brings up a very interesting point
38
that I truly believe explains exactly why so many of us are feeling this way.
39
And it all comes down to a scientific breakthrough that a 10 year So if you're not familiar with this experiment, there's a 10-year-old boy named Joe Nagai.
40
And he ran an experiment on swallowtail butterflies, trying to determine whether or not memory could be passed down not only through metamorphosis,
41
but whether or not it could be passed down generationally to the offspring.
42
And to do this, he took a caterpillar, he placed it on his arm and he shocked it.
43
Every time that he shocked it, he exposed it to lavender.
44
And after doing that several times a day, several days in a row,
45
eventually what happened is the caterpillar began to associate lavender with a negative experience.
46
And after repeating that process for several days in a row, he eventually put the caterpillar into a tube.
47
And at the end of the tube there was a Y.
48
One direction of the Y led to lavender and the other direction led to an area that did not have lavender.
49
And every single time after training this caterpillar to associate lavender with a negative experience it went in the direction
50
that did not have the lavender.
51
He then waited until the caterpillar morphed and turned into a butterfly
52
and then he repeated that experiment and every single time the butterfly went to the area that did not have the lavender.
53
And after that He waited until the butterfly had offspring, and then he ran this same scenario on the butterfly's offspring.
54
He didn't shock them, but he put them into the tube, and he monitored to see which direction they would go.
55
And every single time, the butterfly's offspring would not go anywhere near the lavender.
56
So what did he prove here?
57
He proved that memory is genetic.
58
And I think it's safe to assume that if memory is passed down through generations of caterpillars, it's probably passed down through us.
59
It's probably passed down through pretty much every other species out there.
60
And when you look around at nature, this becomes pretty clear.
61
Because there are a lot of things that nature does that simply don't make any sense.
62
Because there's nobody sitting down teaching nature to do these things.
63
Nature just inherently knows what to do.
64
And I truly believe that we do too.
65
But we've forgotten that.
66
We do everything in our power to separate ourselves from nature.
67
But we're not separate from it.
68
We're very much a part of it.
69
As a matter of fact, we are nature.
70
Nature is us.
71
And when you understand that, you also begin to understand that everything that nature does, we do too.
72
So to me, it makes total sense that genetic memory is something that our ancestors probably passed down to us.
73
We just never realized it.
74
And now that this experiment has been done and the information is coming out, it really allows us to connect the dots.
75
And I think it does a great job at explaining what's happening.
76
The reason why people feel like they have a void in their soul and like they're lacking something
77
Could it not be because there's a genetic memory tied to something that we no longer have access to?
78
Could it not be because our world has changed so much?
79
Because when you think about our species and where we've been versus where we are now, we're in uncharted territory.
80
Our entire existence, thousands of years that we've been here, was spent living life a certain way.
81
It was spent living life more simply.
82
We lived in a much more natural way.
83
And it ties back to this idea that we lived a life full of intention.
84
The things we did were meant for purpose.
85
Every move that we made had a reason behind it.
86
But now, that's not the case.
87
We went from being outdoors to being stuck in cubicles and boxes.
88
We went from being surrounded by a loyal tribe and family to now not being surrounded by any of that stuff.
89
We're now surrounded by a false perception of tribe and community and family.
90
I mean, look around at society.
91
How many strong, structured families are there still in existence?
92
It's very few.
93
We feel like we're surrounded by loyal people, friends that we can count on and trust, but in reality, most of our interactions are done through social media.
94
It's done through the internet.
95
We live in these sprawling apartment complexes in these large cities surrounded by all these people that don't know us, that don't care about us.
96
And we know deep down, we can feel it in our gut, that there's nobody out there we can trust anymore.
97
The timeline that we once existed in, the one where all of these genetic memories were made, it's not there anymore.
98
And we can no longer associate these memories with anything tangible because it doesn't exist.
99
And I think this is especially true for our younger generations.
100
And it's probably why they feel this so much more because they live in a world where this is what they know.
101
They don't even have a reference point when it comes to living that kind of lifestyle.
102
Those of us that grew up before technology, At least we remember what it was like, but for the younger generations, they have no idea.
103
And I think that's why it's so confusing for them because they feel this emptiness.
104
They feel this void.
105
They know something's missing, but there's no way they could ever possibly understand what it is
106
because they have no association on what that life was like.
107
That genetic memory that's been burned into their DNA, they can't possibly pinpoint it because it's something they've never even experienced.
108
So maybe the genetic memory explains everything.
109
Maybe that's the reason so many of us feel like we're missing something.
110
Maybe it's because we're programmed with data that we can't associate with the world around us because that world doesn't exist anymore.
111
Maybe the information and the knowledge that's been passed down
112
is something we can't even use anymore because things have changed that much.
113
And to me this is very profound because if you think about our entire existence as being a football field and
114
every single blade of grass on that football field being our past
115
and now our future
116
and our current present moment is one single blade of grass in the far corner near the goalpost
117
That's where we are today All of those genetic memories were
118
made out there at a time where things made sense
119
and now we've been pulled from that that massive sprawling past
120
and that history
121
and we've been forced down into this single blade of grass
122
this very tiny microscopic piece of existence where we are today
123
so to me it makes sense that we could be mourning a past
124
that we've never experienced simply
125
because it was programmed in there from our ancestors without them knowing it
126
but it was likely programmed in there because back then
127
that was the stuff that was important those are the things that mattered so now beginning to know and understand that, where do we go from here?
128
Is there anything that we can do to fill this void?
129
Or are we just stuck in this situation?
130
I think this is a massive silver lining because
131
when you think about the experiences it would take to form a genetic memory, those experiences would have to be quite profound.
132
And they could be positive or negative.
133
For the caterpillar, the experience of lavender meant being shocked.
134
That's a profound experience.
135
In other cases, a genetic memory could be formed from simply doing something you love, surrounding yourself with people you love, because those moments, they matter.
136
And those are things that you remember.
137
So maybe filling that void and that emptiness that
138
so many of us are experiencing is as simple as creating new genetic memories, doing things that are worth remembering, memories that you would be proud to pass on.
139
Because I think today in our modern world, we do a lot of stuff that's not really worthy of passing on.
140
People surround themselves with things that aren't worth remembering instead of experiencing things that are.
141
Maybe a life of intention isn't about doing more.
142
Maybe it's not about trying to prove ourselves to people that don't care about us.
143
Maybe it's not about trying to optimize every aspect of our lives
144
and adopt all of these efficiencies and all this technology and surround ourselves with all this materialistic stuff.
145
Maybe it's about doing less.
146
Maybe it's about tapping into something that we feel like we no longer have access to.
147
And maybe that something is the very thing
148
that our ancestors programmed us with
149
because they knew throughout thousands of years of their existence that that was the stuff that mattered.
150
And I don't think that necessarily means reverting completely back to the way our ancestors used to live, but maybe it's just about finding that balance.
151
Maybe it simply means allowing ourselves to feel and tapping into something real, something that's been there all along calling to us, begging us to remember it.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
