1
When you think about it, a big part of life seems to be all about solving problems.
2
In some way or another, over and over and over again, we first recognize that we are in some kind of undesirable state, then identify how we would like things to be different,
3
and then in some way we try to come up with a solution that will get us there.
4
From getting groceries, to getting paid, to scoring a goal in that game you're playing, in every single waking moment of our lives,
5
there sure are a lot of problems that we are constantly working to try and solve.
6
One thing that we don't tend to think very much about, however, is this part right here.
7
What goes on during that solution-making step?
8
So what I'm gonna show you today is how to turn
9
that into a really powerful place
10
so you can have the ability to come up with better solutions for the problems you face every day.
11
So to use as an example, we need a problem to solve.
12
So let's take this jumbled up Rubik's Cube.
13
So we recognize that this is where we are and we want to get here.
14
Maybe our desired end state is to get all the same colored squares to be on the same sides of the cube.
15
But before you start, let's first imagine that this is how you see the world.
16
Things look much more different like this.
17
How would you interpret the objective, get all the same colored squares onto the same sides of the cube?
18
What kind of solution would you come up with?
19
Well you might not actually have to turn any pieces of the cube at all
20
because you could actually just do something like this.
21
See now I've got all the white tiles and all the black tiles collected on their own sides of the cube.
22
That's solved, right?
23
Here's what's going on here.
24
Solutions are derived from our perception, meaning we come up with a solution based on how we are able to see and understand the problem.
25
But our perception is derived from our awareness.
26
So awareness determines perception and perception determines the solution.
27
So what happens if you increase your awareness?
28
Let's say instead of only being aware of pure black and white, you're able to also be aware of all the gradients of gray that exist in between.
29
Now you're looking with a higher level of awareness.
30
How does that change your experience of perceiving this problem?
31
It's a little more nuanced, isn't it?
32
These gray squares are different than these ones.
33
With this level of awareness, you'd probably start experimenting with a solution that involved rotating the individual rows on the cube, rather than just turning the whole cube at once.
34
Interesting, right?
35
That's a completely different solution than what we came up with the first time that we had tried.
36
So what happens as we continue to increase in awareness?
37
Say with a bit of time you learned how to see blue.
38
That might help you solve the puzzle easier, especially with the blue parts.
39
Or at the same time, it's possible that because blue stands out so much to you, you might actually think
40
that the point of the puzzle was just to solve for the blue side and to disregard the other colors.
41
But you get the point, right? solutions come from perception, and we could come up with tons of different solutions, all depending on how we perceive the problem.
42
Also, you can't come up with solutions that expand beyond your perception.
43
Perception only expands from higher awareness.
44
So now imagine, what if you and another person were both working on the same problem, but one of you is aware of blue, and the other person was only aware of orange.
45
Sounds crazy, right?
46
Can you imagine?
47
I mean, thank goodness our world isn't like that.
48
I mean, it'd be like two people could look the exact same thing
49
and have totally different ideas on how to solve it, right?
50
Except that's exactly the kind of world we live in, isn't it?
51
If you find yourself in a situation where two people have conflicting solutions, it's because they both have different perceptions.
52
And if they both have different perceptions, it's because they both are coming from different backgrounds of awareness.
53
So we all just need to grow in awareness, right?
54
And you want to know what the mother of all awareness is?
55
The most important kind of awareness that any human being can benefit from understanding better?
56
Self-awareness.
57
There are all kinds of things to be aware of.
58
You can be aware of colors or be aware of things.
59
Take plant awareness for example.
60
If you possess plant awareness, you know that plants are a thing.
61
You know something about how they work.
62
You probably can tell me that plants generally start as seeds, that they need water, dirt, and nutrients before they can grow.
63
You could probably tell me that they first grow leaves and then maybe little buds and eventually those can turn into fruit.
64
Nice.
65
If you understand all that, you could say that you possess plant awareness congratulations!
66
But self-awareness, what do you know about what it is that you are?
67
Just like plants develop in extremely predictable patterns, human beings also develop following extremely predictable patterns.
68
This is particularly true for our minds, how we think.
69
The moment we're born and start to have life experiences, the way we think, the methods we use to solve problems and understand the world
70
that develops and it does
71
so through distinct stages step by step one after the other
72
every single one of us pass through the exact same stages
73
of awareness in the exact same order it's as we climb this awareness staircase
74
that we learn to understand the world in more complex ways
75
that expands our perception which Which in turn allows us to come up with better or more complex solutions to our problems.
76
Pretty amazing right?
77
So what are these stages?
78
Do you want to learn more?
79
How do you take steps?
80
How high does it go?
81
That's actually what this channel is all about.
82
So if you're interested in self-awareness
83
because you want to learn how to come up with better solutions to the problems that you face every day, then hey, well that's great because that's what I'm interested in too.
84
So I'm making videos about it and if you want to subscribe and be part of the conversation then man, I think that sounds really awesome.
85
My name is Logan.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
