10
No. It's out for delivery.
11
That line's not moving.
12
It needs to move.
13
You're just sitting there.
14
You're like, you're like a crack.
15
Taking up heroin.
16
You're like all up in your head, right?
17
And then the bottom line is what?
18
You finally get it.
19
The package arrived.
20
Take out the knife.
21
You open it up and what do you find?
22
There it is.
23
And then there's this immense sense of just like relief.
24
And you think like, I'm so happy right now.
25
Because I finally got what I wanted.
26
That's not why you're happy.
27
You're happy because all this time that you were waiting to get that thing, there was a lot of resistance in your head.
28
There was a lot of, you didn't want to be here and now.
29
You couldn't, when is it going to come?
30
When is it going to come?
31
When is it going to come?
32
Your mind is just rushing, right?
33
You have this anxiety.
34
You're excited to get it.
35
And then finally, when you get it, so the mind just, and you dip into the now.
36
Because the now is the absence of resistance to what is.
37
And when you're constantly in your head, You're not in the now.
38
You're in the construct of past or construct of future, memory and imagination.
39
And you're a ping pong ball between those two.
40
So that's what builds anxiety.
41
But when you're anchored in the moment because you finally got what you wanted,
42
that relief is the release of tension,
43
of resistance to what is because you no longer need to resist the now because here it is.
44
And you dip into infinity and that happiness is best you returning to your true nature.
45
You understand?
46
So that's why, why do you think time passes really fast when you enjoy what you're doing?
47
Because you're like, your attention is kind of brought into the thing at hand.
48
So you love to fix things you're a jeweler
49
and as you're working and like really enjoying your craft
50
so your attention is brought into the now
51
and you're no longer worried about what's the the what's coming
52
or you know reminiscing about the past
53
or you're like what's gonna you're fully here and now so
54
when you're fully here and now there's no what mind activity as much and when you're not plugged into the matrix
55
What do you think unplugging from the matrix means?
56
Living in the now means being your true self.
57
And so when you unplug from the matrix and you're here and now, you're in the present moment.
58
So you time travel, so to speak.
59
You're beyond time.
60
And so you're like, oh, where did that hour go?
61
But when you're just like, I don't want to be here.
62
You're sitting in classroom.
63
Remember those school years?
64
I'm like, when is this class going to fit?
65
Because you're up in here.
66
So time feels like it's like really, really slow.
67
And the hour feels like ages.
68
See how it works?
69
So if you want to, you know, like what is dhikr?
70
dhikr is being presence remembrance but what are you remembering that remembrance of like wait a second
71
I am the ruh so rather than like you're sitting there
72
and you're like when you're in a true state of remembrance and you're anchored in the present moment
73
if you have access to what it's a window unto the divine
74
You feel serenity.
75
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ Also here could mean in the state of presence.
76
تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبِ The hearts find tranquility.
77
They find peace.
78
Because as -salam is here and now.
79
Oof.
80
So it's really hard being somewhere you don't want to be.
81
Really easy being somewhere you want to be.
82
Life takes a completely different spin, you know.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
