1
What is fear?
2
It's this expectation that the pain of yesterday is going to happen today.
3
What are schemas if not these rigid thoughts that I created in order to anticipate the pains of one's yesterday,
4
of one's childhood?
5
This fear of dying alone,
6
of being alone, of being unworthy, it's always anticipatory.
7
Convinced that I can somehow avoid it through hard work,
8
validation, success, or whatever, I nonetheless feel that in the end it will all inevitably lead to the same results.
9
Because these expectancies, these results,
10
are based on the past.
11
A past I can barely recall, let alone alter.
12
I can't think myself out of this one.
13
It's this exhausting, never-ending attempt to rationalize everything about myself.
14
Like, you know, you keep sharpening a pencil,
15
it's eventually going to run out.
16
Only then, when I do all of this thinking,
17
do I think, oh wow, I've solved myself.
18
So I attach to ideas,
19
philosophies, theories, people, half-baked images of the better me.
20
They fit into a logic,
21
they make sense, and they give me a sort of security.
22
And when they're threatened, that's where I feel the fear.
23
I act out of fear, out of desperation.
24
Instead of confronting these fears,
25
going through them, I go around them.
26
I avoid vulnerability.
27
I do not open up,
28
and so I do not let anyone in.
29
In the end, I cannot love.
30
Love and fear cannot coexist.
31
I fear myself, and so I cannot love myself.
32
I didn't find myself in Patagonia.
33
In fact, the whole trip was nothing more than the same old me doing the same old things in a new place.
34
But it gave me the false sense that I had.
35
This spectacle of interesting people,
36
interesting places, nonetheless left me unchanged.
37
One New Yorker writer likens travel to a boomerang,
38
it brings you right back to where you started.
39
Yes, I did begin to feel better,
40
and I feel much better now,
41
but this was only months after I realized that traveling all the way to the ends of the earth wouldn't fix me.
42
A relationship wouldn't fix me.
43
Universal admiration wouldn't fix me.
44
And eventually I came to realize that nothing would fix me.
45
That's because this entire time I saw myself as a problem to be fixed,
46
to be solved, to be reduced to a formula.
47
Self-help books, philosophies, religions, they give me an objective answer to the question of who I should be.
48
There is something impersonal about this technique.
49
Anyone can apply the formula.
50
Embedded within its own cluster of genetics,
51
interactions, experiences, and social influence,
52
how could I possibly apply a generic answer to the deeply personal question of who I am?
53
Being, then, is not a problem to be solved,
54
but rather a mystery to be experienced.
55
And only I can actively engage in this mystery.
56
I have lived a life in captivity,
57
an existence in which I have time and time again surrendered to these abstractions,
58
these limits I've put on myself,
59
and this is why I was so miserable,
60
driven by fear, bound to these ideas of who I am.
61
In doing so, I had neglected a sort of formless reflection involved in the present.
62
I had denied a receptivity to the world,
63
both externally and internally, in the service of maintaining these rigid self-beliefs.
64
Most of all, I had denied myself a certain unity with existence,
65
a unity crucial in understanding this mystery.
66
I had become a slave to myself.
67
This captivity was apparent in my relationships.
68
I failed to open myself up because I had locked myself into this idea of who I am,
69
an idea that I needed to retain in the hopes of solving myself.
70
And so I was never with someone truly.
71
I was always separate in the sense of hierarchy where I would see myself as superior or inferior,
72
but I wasn't with them side by side.
73
I had denied myself the ability to truly be with someone as a friend or lover,
74
with each of us bonded by a fellowship larger than ourselves.
75
This could only happen if I freed myself,
76
if I opened myself up to both give and be given to.
77
I must be strong enough to give and even stronger to ask for what I truly want.
78
My thoughts and schemas have directed my life to this point.
79
They themselves are driven by desire and fear.
80
By counter-attacking and escaping, I follow my desires and my fears.
81
I fear this, I desire that,
82
but there's something else that has driven me.
83
I'm not sure what it is exactly,
84
but it's the whole reason why I made this.
85
It's the whole reason why I'm still here.
86
And I don't know if it's an implicit part of human nature or an act of choice,
87
and hey, maybe it's a complete illusion.
88
It simply tells me that this is worth it in some sense.
89
I have faith that something good will come of this, whatever this is.
90
I suppose I have faith in living still, and still trying.
91
This is Marcel's idea of a strange hope.
92
Hope consists in asserting that there is at the heart of being,
93
beyond all data, beyond all inventories at all calculations of a serious principle which is in connivance with me.
94
It is desire open-ended,
95
an act of patience directed towards some form of salvation without any say in what such salvation will look like.
96
It involves a commitment to humility
97
which in other terms means a return to the present and the admission that I know very little about myself or others.
98
You know, people hold on to these images of father,
99
mother, husband, wife, again, for the same reason,
100
because they seem to provide some firm ground.
101
But there's no wife there.
102
What does that mean?
103
A wife, a husband, a son.
104
A baby holds your hands,
105
and then suddenly there's this huge man lifting you off the ground,
106
and then he's gone.
107
Where's that sun?
108
All I know is that I don't actually know who I am.
109
And that is okay.
110
I never will.
111
In fact, it is in those moments,
112
in deep conversation, in love,
113
face to face with beauty.
114
Those moments where I've entirely lost myself.
115
Where who I am no longer matters.
116
A simple thought flashes.
117
This is enough.

视频的语速可能会变化，在快速部分你可以适当减慢速率，以便能够跟上。使用渐进的方式，逐渐提高你的跟读速度。在影子练习时，不妨暂停视频，反复练习困难的句子，确保准确发音。
通过不断练习，你会逐渐提高表达能力，同时也能更深入地理解视频所讨论的主题。观看这个视频并进行shadowspeak（影子说话），不仅可以改善你的英语口语能力，也能促使你更好地理解自己的内心世界。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
